香港華仁書院和九龍華仁書院一月卅一日發起募捐口罩行動，首階段至二月四日，兩校全日廿四小時於接待處收集獨立包裝的口罩，已募集約一千個。
耶穌會中華省省會長周守仁神父一月卅一日在臉書發文，指出社會對口罩需求龐大，但部份店舖貴價賣口罩，基層人士和弱勢的少數族裔處境困難；兩間華仁書院邀請師生、家長和校友捐口罩，於資源短缺時幫助他人。周神父指這體現信仰中五餅二魚及華仁立己助人的精神，也是慶祝兩校周年校慶的方式。 .....(閱讀全文)
Cancellation of the Anniversaries Gala Dinner of 30 Jan 2020
- Standing together against the novel coronavirus
The situation regarding the novel coronavirus (“Wuhan coronavirus”) outbreak in the mainland of China is deteriorating rapidly and Hong Kong has been stepping up measures to contain the spread. The Schools and the Gala Dinner Organizing Committee (OC) have been monitoring the situation closely, conducting negotiations with the HKCEC and discerning the best way forward in the face of this quickly evolving and challenging situation. The large part of the production costs has been incurred because of preparations already done before the Chinese New Year and cannot be salvaged. The HKCEC has also ordered the food and made other preparations. Based on the contract, we are liable to the full dinner cost regardless of whether we go ahead with or cancel the dinner. However, this morning the OC managed to secure from the HKCEC a special deal that if we cancel the event today, we have to forfeit only the deposit paid so we can save about $1.7M not yet paid. The option of postponement is not on the table. In summary, a large amount has been incurred if we cancel the event, but the loss is not total.
HKJSAA (Hong Kong Joint Schools Alumni Association) is hosting the following events on Sunday February 23, 2020 to celebrate Chinese New Year.
(1) Mahjong Competition
(2) Dinner
Venue: NKS Banquet Hall 帝豪名宴 (New Kennedy Square, 8360 Kennedy Road)
1:00 pm Mahjong Competition (no extra charge, pre-registration required)
6:00 pm Reception
7:00 pm Dinner ($60 per person)
Click here to register for the event, by February 2. Do let us know whether you will join the mah-jong competition before dinner. Members are encouraged to attend this event to celebrate Chinese New Year with families and friends as WYKAAO will not hold a separate Spring Dinner this year.
