Fr. Stephen Chow made us a presentation of “Profile of the Jesuit Student at Graduation for the Chinese Province”, which was adapted from Adapted from the Jesuit Secondary Education Association’s “Profile of the Graduate at Graduation”, during our last Exco meeting. The carefully compiled Profile spells out expectations of the Wahyanite and serves as a good guideline for students, old boys, teachers and all stakeholders who strive for the continual improvement of Wah Yan.

令人尊敬的周神父、受人尊重的蘇校長暨香港華仁舊生會、九龍華仁舊生會、家長會：

大家好！春節很快到了，願大家在新的一年身體健康，萬事如意！

今天仲斌要做第二次手術，因為膝蓋後面植下的皮掉下，露出像一張個人名片大的傷口滲血，同時要割掉長在腳背及腳踝周圍像釋迦似的角質肉牙，這些部位都要重新植皮。是昨天晚上十點半後院長巡房才決定的。十二點開始禁飲食了。

請大家放心。過去我以為划船打鼓都一雙手的，現在，划船有周神父，蘇校長，朱 sir，打鼓有整個華仁同仁。第一次手術成功切除掉38.5公斤，是神的力量及大家的幫忙和支持。這次，我們會更加勇敢地面對一切。希望繼續得到你們的幫忙與支持，手術成功後再向大家匯報。祝福各位：

喜樂平安！

健康常在！
