Welcome to WYKAAO
Welcome to WYKAAO
The pandemic had deprived our athletes of the opportunity to shine in the Inter-School Athletics Competition (Division 1) for two years. This year, battling against a stiff headwind under the pandemic, our young athletes were eager to brace for fierce competitions on the track and field at the Inter-School Athletics Competition 2021-22, unlocking their potential, realizing their talents and fighting for the glory of Wah Yan.
“Last Day” is a tradition started many years ago, perhaps dating back to the formation of the school’s Students’ Union. It might have started simply, as students came back on the last day of school to get teachers and friends to write some memorial lines and to have pictures taken together. It has evolved over the years. It usually takes place in the hall balcony where the principal might give a farewell speech. There would be tea and cakes for teachers and students in the common room in the East Wing, often subsidized by the Alumni Association. In the last decade or so, the graduates formed a big circle in the car park and there would be student-led chatting, chanting and singing.
It is with great sadness to receive the news from her family that Ms. Gertrude Chan of Maryknoll Convent School passed away peacefully on June 1st at Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital. Ms. Chan had been an enthusiastic and active supporter of WYKAAO’s functions and activities since the formation of our alumni association decades ago. She will be dearly missed.
Here are the details of the arrangements for Ms. Chan's funeral.
