Graduation Ceremony
The school’s Annual Graduation Ceremony for Forms 6 students was held on 25th June. The Honourable Mr Michael Tien, BBS, JP, was the Guest-of-Honour. Mr David Wong, President of YMCA of Hong Kong; Mr Peter Ho, Supervisor; Mr Dion Chen, Principal; and SMC members Mrs Sheila Chuang, Mr Tony Yip and Mr Paul Wong 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 share their talents and gifts with people around them, to the betterment of the world. He shared a few particularly successful stories of previous graduates, some of whom have obtained first class honour degrees in their study and some other who now are working in famous corporations using their art talents in design and art work. He believes that all graduates will have a bright future and that they will be supported by their alma mater and friends, as the bible verse goes, that “Jesus comes to give them life, and give them life in abundance.” (John 10:10)
Mr Tien encouraged our students by sharing his life experiences from high school to university study to choosing a career after graduation. His wise words are that each and every graduate should explore different things in life, and until they could find their passion, they should keep on trying. They have to find something they will enjoy doing, and not just for money or for promotion prospect, In that way, success will follow. His famous quote: “Goals are important, but the process separates the winners and the losers”, which manifested in his life in many ways. He believes that God has been good to him and assures all graduates that it will be the same to each of them.
The prize presentation ended with a joyous hymn “Give Thanks” 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.
Besides the graduates and teachers, the Ceremony was well-attended by more than 500 parents and friends.
