The visit ended with a Q&A session, where students asked questions and shared their thoughts. Inspired and excited about art, they left the museum with a deeper appreciation for creativity.

長江水連香江月，百年學堂再同窗

本年四月，武漢市第十九中學及武漢市第十九初級中學的師生，在汪淳書記和鄢來洋校長的帶領下，蒞臨我校進行交流活動。

活動伊始，大家先到STEAM ROOM參觀及和我校的交流大使交流。隨後，我校辯論隊成員與武漢的同學展開了一場精彩的友誼辯論賽。雙方同學準備充分，言辭犀利，展現了出色的思辨能力與團隊合作精神。其中參與辯論活動的中五甲班唐嘉同學表示，武漢的同學首次登台辯論，展現了卓越的氣勢與冷靜，讓我們十分佩服。比賽結果也不相上下，回應了評委所提到的觀點：新一輩和老一輩在傳承中國文化方面都有共同的責任。

比賽後，武漢的同學們共同演唱了《萬疆》。這首歌以其恢宏的旋律和真摯的歌詞，深刻表達了中華兒女對美好未來的熱切期盼。武漢的同學們在合唱中情感洋溢，讓我們真切感受到他們的赤子之心，振奮人心。

此次交流的主要目的是進行跨地域的課堂體驗。武漢的高中和初中同學分別與我校同學一起上了體育課、英文課、數學課及公民與社會發展課。這樣的學習安排不僅讓武漢學生感受到兩地教學方式的不同，還提升了他們的英語實戰能力；同時，香港的學生也欣賞到了武漢同學認真積極的學習態度。

課後，武漢的同學與我校的交流大使在體育館共進午餐，暢談彼此的生活與學習。唐同學表示，在與武漢同學一起上課和共進午餐的過程中，大家的交流加深了彼此的了解。武漢同學對於香港文憑試數學科能使用計算機感到驚訝，而我們則對武漢的政治課需學習馬克思主義理論等內容感到新奇。我們還討論了兩地的教育制度，如選科制度和中考分流等。此外，兩地特色食物的交流亦頗具趣味，香港同學熱情推薦魚蛋和燒賣等經典小吃，而武漢同學則介紹了當地的熱乾麵。

下午，武漢的同學與幾位交流大使在STEAM ROOM參與了3D打印與動植物保育工作坊。參與者們就動植物保育展開了深入的交流，分享了各自的看法，大家的意見充滿創意。最後，STEAM TEAM將我校3D打印的相框及由學生設計的3D打印小盒子贈予武漢十九中，以作留念。

唐同學認為短短的一天交流不僅讓她們跨越九百多公里，與武漢的學生共同相處，建立珍貴的友誼，同時也讓她們直觀感受到兩地文化和教育制度的差異，在這些差異中互相學習。與不同地區學生交流能增廣見聞，開闊眼界，機會難得，會好好珍惜。

武漢師生此次來訪的另一個重要目的，是我校與武漢市第十九初級中學正式簽署合作協議，締結為姊妹學校。鄂港相連，學誼長存，期待三所學校未來能有更多文化交流，共同提升教與學的水平。

四旬期愛德服務

Legion of Mary Acies

On April 4, members from our school's two praesidia, Mediatrix of All Graces and Immaculate Heart of Mary, participated in the Acies, an annual collective consecration to Mary, organized by Curia Mater Dei at Christ the King Chapel.
The ceremony began with an Opening Prayer and the Rosary. Members lined up to place their hands on the staff of the vexillum and recite their dedication: "My Queen, my Mother, I am all yours, and all that I have is yours." The Catena was prayed before the Mass began.
During the homily, Rev. Francis Xavier Wong emphasized the importance of devotion to Mary within the Legion and encouraged us to take pride in our identity as legionaries. He reminded us that we are not individuals but part of a community—an army united in faith. He stressed that our prayers and services should stem from love rather than obligation or habit.
The Acies concluded with the Concluding Prayer, the Frank Duff Prayer, the singing of the Legion Hymn, and a group photo to commemorate this special occasion.

A Celebration of Hope and Love: Christmas Mass Reflection

On 20th December 2024, we came together for the Christmas Mass, celebrated by Father Grégoire Vignola.

They called for students' support through almsgiving during the Mass.

During the Mass, Father Grégoire shared an inspiring homily about the essence of Christmas. He emphasized that Christmas is a time of love, as Jesus’ birth represents the greatest love of our Lord for us. He is our Light, which gives us hope, as He comes and lives among us. Filled with such love, we should share Jesus’ mission by becoming a mirror, reflecting the Light of Jesus to the darkest places in the world so that His merciful love can spread throughout the globe.

May this spirit of love and hope flourish in our families, school, and society.

While today our Form 6 students bid farewell to the school as graduates, they will soon return to their Alma Mater, where they have grown in height and wisdom, to contribute to the legacy of St. Francis’ and proudly sing the hymn that has resonated through the halls, corridors, and classrooms for the past 155 years: "Live St. Francis, live forever, be the bond when we depart…"

The experience of making traditional Chinese pastries was valuable and enriching. During the workshop, students had the opportunity to actually make the pastries like a Kee Wah staff.

From kneading the dough to wrapping the fillings into it, they knew a lot more about the fascinating skills preserved in the traditional Chinese culture, as well as the components of the pastries that they enjoyed.

"The experience of making pastries at KeeWah Studio has helped me regain the confidence of baking. Additionally, I have realised that I should not be held back by past failures. The experience encourages me to be bold in dealing with fears and overcoming challenges."
----------5B Scholastica Chung

"The most memorable event was the mixing part. I tried very hard to mix the solid pig oil with the flour to form a dough, however the instructor did it very quickly and easily. This also proved the fact that “Practice makes perfect”. After the workshop, I think the tradition of making Chinese pastries was indeed impressive. I was impressed by the complicated procedures of making just a few pastries. I would like to join more of these workshops in the future."

The theme of the expo offered a new perspective to students, who believe that the subjects they choose would determine their degree programs and their future career paths. However, after attending the event, there has been a paradigm shift from the linear train of thought towards a growth mindset where students realize the importance of embracing the unknown and exploring alternative paths.

The event’s resounding success showcased the commitment of SFCC in nurturing a well-rounded education that extends beyond the classroom.

This event serves as an inevitable step for students to increase their consciousness to national development and strengthen their sense of national identity.

Visiting the polar research icebreaker "Xue Long 2"

The first polar research icebreaker "Xue Long 2" docked in Hong Kong on 8 April 2024. Some F.4 students, Hayley Wong, Fiona Mak, Chloe Choi and Sophie Tse, took the opportunity and participated in the Welcome Ceremony of Xue Long 2's Visit cum Tour, organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Volunteers.

Our students were able to get a close-up view of the ship which deepened our pride in our motherland's scientific research achievements.  They even got the chance to admire the interior of the ship. They could access areas such as the marine sampling room, the laboratory, and the helipad, complete with the ship's "Snow Eagle 301" helicopter. This event was undoubtedly a valuable experience for our students; it is hoped that their understanding and awareness of polar expeditions will be enhanced, as well as their interest and enthusiasm in exploring the polar regions.

樓臨黃鶴，心橋架夢——聖方濟各與武漢十九中的文化探索之旅

春風和煦的三月末，20位學生踏上一場別開生面的文化交流之旅。他們遠赴千里，來到具有悠久歷史與深厚文化底蘊的城市——武漢，與姊妹學校武漢市第十九中學進行了一次意義非凡的交流活動。在為期四天的行程中，同學們不僅深入了解了當地的文化遺產，而且還有機會與第十九中學的學生進行學術與藝術交流，這一切的經歷將成為他們青春記憶中珍貴的一頁。

踏足歷史痕跡，體驗武漢文化魅力

行程中，學生參觀當地著名的博物館，深入了解了武漢豐富的歷史與文化。在參觀黃鶴樓期間，同學們不僅攀登古樓，親眼目睹這座傳奇建築的壯麗景色，通過導遊講解，更了解到了黃鶴樓背後的歷史故事及其在中國文學中的獨特地位。
 
學術交流，締造深厚友誼

學術交流是此行的重中之重。同學們一大早便來到了武漢市第十九中學，與當地的高二學生共同上了一節生動的語文課。在這節課上，他們共同探討《水調歌頭•游泳》這首著名詞作。通過黃老師的引導，同學不僅了解詞中到橋的象徵意義，賞析詩歌的意涵，體悟毛主席對未來的展望，更在文學的海洋中增進了和十九中同學的理解與友情。
 
文化展演，彰顯學校特色

「春風十里，只為等你」兩校的文化交流表演於雄渾的國歌聲中揭開序幕，武漢市第十九中學校長朱一兵致辭，副校長王啟輝主持活動開幕儀式。本校學生代表周月茹、余佳怡上台發言，向來賓介紹學校情況並回顧兩校交流情誼。特別值得一提的是，是次活動荷蒙香港特別行政區第五任行政長官兼校友林鄭月娥女士支持，擔任是次交流活動嘉賓。她不僅一直觀賞學生表演，更發表主題演講，鼓勵學生積極參與文化交流，拓展國際視野，並強調是次交流活動有助促進兩地學生相互理解與合作。及後，學生們施展渾身解數，透過音樂、舞蹈及朗誦表演，將各自的校園文化與藝術生活展現得淋漓盡致，贏得在場師生陣陣掌聲。
 
非物質文化遺產體驗，傳承中華藝術

文化之旅還包含對非物質文化遺產的體驗。同學有機會親手製作麵塑，此傳統的中華民間藝術不僅考驗他們的巧手與創意，也讓他們對中國傳統文化有更深的體會。其後，學生還參訪了武漢市第十九初級中學，參加書法、漢繡和剪紙等傳統藝術課程，這些活動無疑加深了同學們對傳統藝術的理解和興趣。

在這次武漢之旅中，同學不僅學會豐富的文化知識，更通過與姊妹學校的學術與藝術交流，建立珍貴的友誼。這種跨文化的交流經驗對於學生的個人成長以及未來的國際合作具有重要的意義。隨著行程結束，同學們帶著滿滿的收獲與美好的回憶返回香港，期待下一趟與姊妹學校交流，探索世界的每一個角落。

家長教師會高中講座系列 ------- 建立正向情緒與新世代生涯規劃

生活緊張，學習上面對重重的困難和壓力，又要面對很多人際關係上的問題，同學們因此常常都會感到灰心沮喪。作為家長，如何幫助女兒們除去負面的情緒呢？本校於2024年2月24日，邀請了香港城市大學正向教育研究室服務督導郭啟晉先生，主領中四至中六級家長講座，主題為「如何協助子女建立正面情緒」。郭先生指出要先安頓情緒，而不是解決情緒，亦即是家長需要接納女兒的憤怒或不安的負面情緒，之後協助女兒將負面情緒轉化為正面能量。同時，家長要明白女兒發洩憤怒情緒的原因，彼此傾談，從而建立良好的親子關係。講座後， 羅校長和英文科科主任蔡老師與家長及同學分組，分享學習心得，以幫助同學改善學習技巧，使能好好預備公開考試。

此外, 於2024年3月16日，本校亦舉行了中五級家長講座，由社會服務機構「加減乘除」項目主任及香港科技大學梁家樂博士主領，主題為「升讀大學，何去何從？」講員指出在新時代，香港學生面對很多社會轉變，大學的學科組合亦有新的趨勢，新興學科逐漸受歡迎，家長和子女不妨多作了解，給予自己多選擇。同時，面對這些轉變和挑戰，家長可從旁協助和支持。講座第二部分是由升學輔導組余慧賢老師解釋2025聯招的程序和注意事項，當中包括各項呈交的文件和日期。最後，家長和學生會面班主任和副班主任，從中商討如何回應及預備考試的要求和聯招的程序。
