Graduation Ceremony
The school’s Annual Graduation Ceremony for Forms 6 students was held on 24th June with more than 500 parents and friends well attended together with the graduates and teachers.
The Honourable Mr. Jasper Tsang, GBM, GBS, JP, was the Guest-of-Honour. Mr. Peter Ho, Supervisor; Mr Dion Chen, Principal; and SMC members Mrs Sheila Chuang, Ms Juila Ong and Mr Kelsey Dawson were the platform party.
Principal, Mr Dion Chen, shared with all graduates that their achievements have been great, having successes in many areas. He also pointed out that more importantly, they should be resilient in their work and study, and share their talents and gifts with people around them, as service to those around them, to the betterment of the world. He shared the incident of a 23-year old young girl giving half her liver to a dying 43-year woman recently in Hong Kong. This is only an example of how a person can be of service to another, and of course, not every person will be doing the same thing. However, the service and sharing spirit is all that counts. He finally shared a couple of stanzas in the hymn “God Has not Promised” with the graduates, encouraging them to rely on God’s Grace and Provision, and never lose heart.
Mr. Tsang encouraged the students by sharing a story about a far-sighted and a short-sighted chicken. The analogy helped graduates and the audience understand the importance of paying attention to what goes around them, of opening our eyes to the surrounding and doing what is right for every moment.
The prize presentation ended with a thankful hymn “At the Cross” with all graduates and the audience participated in unison giving thanks to the Lord, our Savior. Students also celebrated this jubilant event with music performances, including the praise band performance, choir, orchestra ensemble, and a team of students playing the drums in leading the guests out of the hall in the recession.
