Homecoming Concert 2012 – Brotherhood

Brotherhood-Homecoming-Concert-2012-Poster-s.jpgAwaiting a chance to meet your classmates and other Wahyanites? The Past Students’ Association would like to introduce you the Homecoming Concert 2012 – this wonderful and meaningful event to accomplish your wish.

Homecoming Concert has become one of the most exciting annual events for all of us. With the theme ‘Brotherhood’, it does not only implicate the relationship between you and your classmates, but also that among all the Wahyanites, including the current students. Through this event, we look forward that the relationship among all the Wahyanites could be further strengthened..

The concert will be held on 25th February, 2012 (Sat) at 7.30 p.m. at WYK School Hall. Alumni, current students, parents and teachers are going to perform on stage. The entire surplus from the concert will be donated to the school for renovating and expanding the staff room, as the condition of it is deteriorating and it can now hardly accommodate all the teachers.

The school requires a sum of HK$700,000 to carry out the renovation and expansion plan and we would like to take this opportunity to appeal for your support. Your attendance and/ or sponsorship will not only endorse the hard work of the organizers and performers, but also play a crucial role in sponsoring the renovation project.

There is no reason to miss this double-meaning Homecoming Concert!

Please refer to the attached the ticket booking/ sponsorship form. Should you have any enquiries with regard to sponsorship and/ or ticketing matters, please contact Dr. W. H. Lau by e-mail at parkes@hkstar.com. For other enquiries, please contact Miss Connie Chu by e-mail at wkcchu@wyk.edu.hk or by phone at 2193 5303.

譚校友分享了自己在學時的經歷,勉勵在場的師兄弟要堅持自己的信念,並分享了華仁精神的傳承,強調華仁「立己助人」的精神,鼓勵各位同學將來有能力時緊記要回饋母校,為未來的華仁仔出一分力。兩位醫生校友分別以專業角度分析了運動的重要與運動量的計算,並以人生經驗比喻作一場馬拉松賽事,只要抱著良好的體育精神,必定能勇往直前,達到目標。

擁有豐富長跑經驗的李嘉綸教練以動畫仔細講解長跑運動的姿勢,講解了長跑運動正確的動作,課程完畢後,李教練帶領各位參賽隊員參與了九華環校跑——3公里馬拉松賽事,同學在專業的指導下,透過實戰的培訓,得以順利完成賽事,獲益良多。
