SOYS Annual Gathering

The annual gathering of the “Students OF the Year Scheme” was held on 31st January 2010 at the Student Activity Center of the school. The Principal Mr. George Tam and the newly appointed Assistant Principals were invited as the guests of the occasion. Mr. Tam expressed the wish that SOYS can play a more significant role in the development of the school, Hong Kong and China as a whole. The participants also extended their gratitude towards our Alumnus Philip Ching who started the scheme in 1986 which provided a very good platform to link up the students of different years. Through the scheme, the participants decided to play a more prominent role to link up the students of different years starting with building a closer relationship among the SOYS of different years as the first step of the action to be taken in the future. - Paul Yip (Assistant Principal)

News from Haiti

Fr. Stephen Chow would like to share this piece of news from Edmund Lo's sister on Feb 03:
"Today got an email from Edmund's novice master, Fr Erik, he mentioned that Edmund and Artur are healthy and in good spirits. They have been a good example to the Haitian Jesuit novices because of their energy and creativity in how they help with the relief effort. Apparently the site they are staying is pretty good, like a "Hilton" compared to other sites, as they have real tents that are mosquito proof where there is soft grass underneath. Thus, there is plenty of food and clean water."

Update from Edmund Lo, Haiti

Artur (co-novice from Canada) and I had relocated to another Jesuit community- the novitiate, to better aid the relief effort. Sleeping in tents because buildings are unsafe.

Wahyanite helping injured earthquake victims in Haiti

Edmund Lo, who left our school in F.2 in the 80s to emigrate to Canada, joined the English-speaking Canadian Province last year and is on his experiment as a Jesuit novice serving the poor in Haiti. He survived the earthquake and is working hard with the Sisters of Charity to take care of the injured Haitians under very harsh conditions.
He and his co-novice have decided to stay on instead of evacuating back to Canada. Great spirit! I am proud of them!! Salt and Light TV has videos of Edmund (Just click 15th and 18th Jan on the right hand column of the video screen.)

- Father's Day Cookout. A party of more than 50 plus 2 babies and 3 dogs had a good time at the BBQ party in Stanley Park on Sunday, 21 June. View photo album here.
- Wah Yan Vancouver 70 Plus gathering. You have to be at least 70 years old to join this club. Albert Tong '63 and I went and took these pictures of Wong Sai-shun '52, Raymond Yu '52, Lawrence Yeung '52, Francis Yeung '54, Raymond Yip '48 and David Lee '50.
- Talking about seniority, I met with Mr. Vincent Lau who was in Class 8 in 1939. (Class 8 is equivalent to Primary 5 of today). Vincent had to quit school due to the War. If he had not quit, he would have been in the grad-class of 1943, as he recalled.
