" Mr. Yen Ping Sei ('64), Mr. Lee K.P. (former teacher of WYCHK) and Mr. Raymond Yu (past student and former vice-principal of WYCHK) have contributed in their personal capacities to help rebuild a historic primary school in Longshan Township, Majiang Country, Guizhou Province which primarily is to give education to ethnic Miao children. To commemorate the devotion and generosity of these Wahyan gentlemen (past students and teachers) the school was given a new name as Hua Ren Pei Lin Primary School after its completion in November, 2007. A new phase of expansion work which is aimed to construct a three-storey 12 room multi-purpose building adjacent to the existing primary school will be taken if financial resources are secured. In addition, donations will be collected to assist needy students to continue their studies. Should Wah Yan old boys be interested in this school project, please consult Mr. Yen directly at 9654-0318 or Simon Chan at 9388-3368 for further information and advice.

The PSA and the old boys fraternity wish to extend our sincere congratulations to Godfrey Lam 林雲浩 (’86) who has been awarded the prestigious title of “Senior Counsel 資深大律師”.
Senior Counsel is an honorary title awarded to barristers of over 10 years experience and recognized by the profession as well as the Courts for having contributed valuable service to the community as a competent and honorable legal practitioner. Before the handover they used to be called “Queen’s Counsel”, a term still used in England and many Commonwealth Countries. For lawyers, they are also often referred to as ‘Silks’ on account of their special silk gown worn in open Court. The wig they wear, incidentally, is also different in style.
Godfrey is a dedicated member of the PSA Council for years and one of the two first Student Ambassadors of SOYs. Of our fraternity, Jason Pow S.C. our previous legal advisor, is also one. Mr. Patrick Yu, someone every lawyer looks up to as one of the most respectable and senior barristers in Hong Kong, is also a Wahyanite. He is famous for his declining the Silk status. So we will see the letters “S.C.” after Godfrey’s name from now on but we are sure dear old Godfrey is still the same good old friendly Wahyanite to us! Congratulations Godfrey!
Please support the Wah Yan One Family Foundation Limited to raise more funds. The Gala Premiere of the film "Three Kingdoms" will be held in The Grand, Elements, West Kowloon on 27th March 2008.
