The Congress normally meets every six years. The meeting place of a congress is chosen by the previous congress in accordance with a rotation among world areas in the following order: South Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Europe/Middle East, East Asia/Oceania.)
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)

Three senior old boys who went to the Wah Yan at 2 Robinson Road were caught playing with their new hi-tech toy in a restaurant recently.
