Competing with some of the most seasoned debaters in town, our English Debating Team prevailed and advanced to the Semi-finals in the 37th Sing Tao Inter-School Debating Competition. They eventually took home the 2nd Runner-up trophy– in addition to sweeping a total of seven Best Debater and Best Interrogative Debater awards in the Quarter-finals and preliminary rounds. Congratulations!
Dear Alumni and Wahyanites,
The Past Students' Associations of WYHK and WYK, in collaboration with both schools and the schools' Parent-Teacher / Parents’ Associations, are launching the Wah Yan Medical Information on COVID-19 Support Scheme, under which a group of Wah Yan (Hong Kong and Kowloon) alumni medical practitioners will endeavour to provide general medical advice to members of our Wah Yan community on COVID-19.
The scope of medical advice offered will be general in nature, provided from the perspective of a generalist medical practitioner, and will be limited to aspects of prevention (esp. vaccination) and self-care for COVID-19 patients or close contacts. The medical advice is not meant to cover government policies and operations (e.g. quarantine period, quarantine arrangement).

Dear Wahyanites,
As you may notice that our admirable teacher Henry Yuen (also an alumnus of WYK 94) had passed away several months ago. As his family had spent significant amount during his battle of cancer, we, a group of WYK alumni of Class-94, would like to appeal for donation to support his family. His wife, who was also an ex-teacher at WYK, is raising her son in primary school with limited financial resources. They are planning to relocate to the UK this summer, according to Henry’s wishes.
“Men for and with others” was something every Wahyanite strives for. It is definitely not an overstatement to say that Henry is the perfect role model. Everyone who knows Henry would tell you that he has determined to provide, give and supply abundantly and generously, and yet, he has demanded nothing in return, throughout his short but meaningful journey on earth.
