Values Education Program on “Gratitude and Love”

As a part of the whole-school approach to values education, we engaged all teachers and students in an interactive online programme conducted by Mr. Remus Kwok from the City University of Hong Kong. While our guest speaker delivered the programme, Form teachers facilitated discussions in their respective classes and interacted with our guest speaker through the online chatroom. Students have gained a better understanding of themselves through completing a questionnaire on “Love language”. The meaningful noises and warm exchanges during the sharing sessions have built a stronger rapport among the class, marking the beginning of the “Secret Angels” activity which lasts for two weeks.

Visit to Hong Kong Science Park

On 7 October and 21 October 2022, our F.3 students visited the Hong Kong Science Park. They got the chance to explore the technologies of autonomous vehicle, AI and smart retail. The visit to some booths was helpful in making them understand more about the application of innovative technologies in different industries. Dr. Crystal Fok, the Head of STP Platform at Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) gave a talk to our students and introduced them to the innovation and technology ecosystem in Hong Kong and its future potential. CUHK Robotics Team, the winners of Robocon HK 2022, enlightened our students through their sharing on innovation and how new technologies are changing the world and our daily lives.  

“We learnt a lot of interesting information about new technology such as how a self-driving shuttle makes use of sensors to detect people, objects, and vehicles on the road.  We also visited some booths and learnt how to breed crabs in an efficient way by using robots. During the visit, we got to know about the Mini-Robocon competition for junior secondary students. My classmates and I decided to form a team to join the competition, which will be held in March 2023. We are excited to be given the opportunity to construct and control robots. All in all, the visit was a wonderful and unforgettable experience for us.”

Ariel Cheng F. 3A

“This time, the visit to the Science Park was a very different experience. I was amazed to see an autonomous self-driven bus. This is an exciting technology in which the bus operates without someone actively driving it. We understand how it functions on the road and how the sensors in the vehicle can sense obstacles on the roads including humans or little animals. It was fun because I experienced how our lifestyle is being changed by technological advancement. This visit has been a rewarding experience.”

On 19th September 2022, two officers from the Correctional Services Department (CSD) delivered a talk for the whole school on crime prevention. They introduced the role and duties of the CSD and shared some typical juvenile crimes, such as bullying, cyber bullying and drug trafficking. The students watched a short film related to the theme followed by a Q& A session based on the film. It was an interactive session between the students and the officers. The talk raised students’ awareness of various types of crimes and the consequences one would have to bear for their own actions. It was a thought-provoking session and gave students a deeper understanding of juvenile crimes.

S6 Catholic Students’ Retreat

Our busy schedule may sometimes take away the peace in our hearts and distance us from God. To help our S6 Catholic students to open their hearts to be loved and strengthened by God, the Canossian Mission organized a retreat for all Canossian S6 Catholic students on September 17. Sr. Veronica Fok and Sr. Agnes Law’s sharing enlightened us about the life and deeds of our Foundress in an endeavour to follow her footsteps in making Jesus known and loved. We are reminded to be grateful to God and to be always ready to reach out to others who are in need of help. “Your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)

School Official Opening Mass

On a sunny morning of September 16, all students and teachers celebrated the official opening mass and the Feast Day of Pope St. Cornelius and St. Cyprian. Mass celebrant Rev. Aloysius Mak reminded us that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to sacrifice for us. The whole school joined together to give thanks to God for His love and blessings and enable us to put our talents to good use as we abide to our school motto “Live by the Truth in Love”. In facing the challenges ahead, let us, “Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) 

House Election

The election of the executive members was successfully held on September 16. The outgoing house captains of each house reported on the activities held in the last academic year.

Christmas Celebration

The Christmas Celebration was successfully held on 21st December, 2021. This has been a day that Franciscans look forward to every year. The whole school gathered in the hall and enjoyed the Christmas vibes together with all teachers and schoolmates.

An array of performances including dancing, singing and drama were staged. Festivity filled the hall as everyone cheered and applauded for the magnificent performances. We were amazed not only by the hidden talents of the performers, but the close bonding they had established. The lucky draw and the fascinating games prepared by the Student Association added lustre to the day. May these precious moments shared among Franciscans be our drive to work hard, live well and go far!
