Christmas Celebration

Despite not being able to celebrate Christmas face-to-face, our online Christmas celebration is just as heartwarming this year.
 
The Student Association prepared an online Christmas Greeting video that involved our Principal, teachers and schoolmates sharing their joy and beautiful memories about this special season. The familiar faces and warm greetings of our fellow Franciscans brought smiles to the faces of all those sitting in front of the screen. We might be separated by distance, but not by heart.
 
The day ended with the Singing Contest Finale organized by the Music Association. The sweet voices of our Franciscans had rejuvenated our mind and brought us joy.
 
May the Lord continue to bestow His blessings upon the school and every one in it.
 
This year, unfortunately, because of the pandemic, we took a Christmas celebration video rather than organized a celebration in the hall. We have learnt techniques such as video editing and adding of effects. Throughout the process, we encountered lots of unexpected situations. These setbacks, however, have been a valuable learning opportunity and most of all, it is an honour to be able to contribute our part in organizing school events.

After months of preparation, the two cabinets - Aegis and Eupharion challenged each other on the stage. Both cabinets had to solve different tasks and answer questions prepared by the outgoing SA exco. The 16 potential executive committee members demonstrated strong team spirit, confidence and dedication. After a very close match and voting by students, Aegis emerged as the winner and becomes the executive committee of the Student Association of the academic year 2019-2020. Congratulations!

School Reopening

A warm welcome to all Franciscans! As our school enters the fifteenth decade of its service in Wanchai, we have in our heart gratitude for our predecessors who so selflessly devote themselves to the betterment of education. To celebrate their success, we are staging a musical “Our Guardian Angels” on 5th and 6th October. 
 
The new school year commenced with a whole school assembly at the school hall. Our principal, Mr. Law addressed the congregation and extended a warm welcome to all students. His introduction of the new teachers was received with a big applause.
 
Live St Francis! Live forever …
 
The school song speaks the words in the heart of all Franciscans. May the Lord bless our school today and always!

Summer Bridging Programme

The Summer Bridging Programme 2019 has come to an end. The new Form 1 students spent five days in August in preparing for a smooth transition from their primary to secondary school life.
The programme began with a welcome speech delivered by the School Principal, followed by a briefing on the school regulations by the Discipline Master. They also met their Form and Co-form teachers and classmates of the new academic year. Besides having lessons in the three core subjects, English, Chinese and Mathematics, the newcomers were introduced to different School Teams and Clubs through participating in various activities organized by the student leaders.
The five-day programme was a great success not only in helping the new Form 1 students to get more familiar with the school campus, but also enhancing the enjoyment of their new school life.
