 School Re-opening (1
September, 2020)
A warm welcome to all Franciscans as we enter the new academic year! Today, together,
through live-streaming, we experienced an unprecedented school opening ceremony. Despite
the challenges presented by distance learning, our students and teachers enjoyed the
connection established through the online class meet.
At the whole school online assembly, our principal, Mr. Law, reminded students of the
importance of resilience and encouraged us to embrace new challenges. The prayer session
that followed has refreshed our mind and warmed our heart as we are assured of God’s
love and blessings. The information given by the discipline team and academic team have
addressed students’ concern on learning under the current situation. Students were also
reminded of the MOI policy at our school and informed of the issues concerning club
enrolments.
“The school is a harvest that costs, but it yields the most fruits.” - St. Magdalene of
Canossa
May the Lord’s blessings be upon the school as we live by the Truth in Love!
Graduation Ceremony (4th
July, 2020)
This graduation ceremony has been an extraordinary one for our graduates as they have had
a year full of challenges and are now able to proudly say, “I have overcome.”
We are honoured to have Ms. Janet Choi, the former Assistant Head of Create Hong Kong, as
our guest of honour. Our school supervisor, Sr. Agnes’ presence has meant a lot to us.
Ms. Janet Choi, being our Alumna, presented the certificates to our graduates. She then
shared with joy as she reminisced her school days at St. Francis’ Canossian College. Ms.
Choi reminded graduates to be courageous and adhere to love and the truth in the pursuit
of their dreams. She also reiterated the importance of maintaining a close bond with our
Alma Mater and to contribute our best in making the world a better place.
As our Head Prefect, Karry Sze, delivered her vote of thanks and recalled the sweet
episodes we shared at St. Francis, every one was at awe how the years have flashed by.
Our graduates are grateful to their parents, teachers and every one in this school for
nurturing them into demure and confident young ladies ready to start a new chapter in
their life.
The euphonious singing of our outstanding actresses in the 150th School Anniversary
Musical has embellish this memorable day. Today, our F.6 students are leaving the school
as graduates, but soon they will be returning to their Alma Mater to contribute the
talents they have cultivated here in St. Francis’ and chant the hymn they have been
singing for the last six years “live St. Francis, live forever...”

Leadership Training Camp (November 26, 2019)
Cooperation and leadership are two of the elements in building up a successful team. The
Leadership Training Camp provides a precious opportunity for the executive committee
members of clubs to strengthen their bonding. The first game session organised by the
Student Association ---- "Musical chairs" and "Fire at the Back", had sparked the
enthusiasm of the participants. Afterwards, the tutors reminded us of the importance of
using proper strategies and setting goals through games such as dodgebee competitions
and collaborative games. We have learnt to believe in ourselves, stretch our potentials
and always aim higher.
One of the highlights of the camp was the checkpoint game of collecting stamps by
finishing various difficult missions. The participants were passionately engaged and
dedicated to their team in pursuit of victory. They presented their impressive
communicative skills and team spirit in the game. Despite the competitiveness,
sportsmanship was manifested.
At 4pm, the leadership training camp came to an end in a hilarious atmosphere. It was a
valuable opportunity for our student leaders to enrich their personal experiences and be
reminded of their important roles and missions as leaders.
