Wah Yan College, Hong Kong and Wah Yan College, Kowloon have stepped into their 90th anniversary and 85th anniversary respectively. The first two celebratory events, namely the Walkathon and the Gratitude Dinner had already been held with great success last year. Our alumni of different generations have shown tremendous support to these 2 events. A sign of immense passion and love for the Schools, this is also indicative of how Wahyanites and our friends value Jesuit education.

The finale of our celebration programme, Wah Yan Encore, will be held on Saturday, 10th July 2010 at the Hong Kong Coliseum. It will showcase the essence of performing arts emerged in the histories of Wah Yan. More than 800 alumni, teachers, parents, current students and our friendly schools will be performing. It should be an enduring learning experience for everyone taking part in the event.

This ensemble has started preparing for the programme since last July. In the coming months they will shoulder intense revisions and mass rehearsals. On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are inviting you to attend this meaningful event. Just by accepting our invitation and come with your family and friends, you will send a strong message of endorsement to these diligent performers and workers. You will be a role model of “Man for and with Others” by empowering them to focus on delivering their very best.

We enclose herein the ticket order and sponsorship form for your perusal. If you would like to share your ideas, please kindly contact Lee Yu Leung on 6626 1111 or by email: yllee888@hotmail.com. We look forward to welcoming you at the Coliseum. May God bless you and your loved ones!
