Their angels’ voices lifted our hearts to the highest.  Our Principal, Ms. Janet Wong, further explained the message conveyed in the Bible reading and encouraged us to share the joy and love of Christmas with the people around us.  The most exciting part of the celebration was the annual lucky draw.  We thanked the PTA and the PSA for their generous donations. The lucky draw would not have been successful without the active participation of teachers and students. 
 

The celebration continued with a video show broadcasted in the classrooms.  The Christmas play ‘The Ultimate Gift’ was produced by the Catholic Society and the Student Council.  Some St. Marians held a Christmas party for some children in a local hospital as voluntary service.  They recognized that all of them were invited to receive the ultimate gift from God.  While enjoying the creative and lively presentation of the play, we got the very important message that we are God’s children and we are all so much loved by God.  The video show was wrapped up with a joyous performance by the Concert Band, the Intermediate Choir and the Junior Choir which added to the festive mood.
 

Although we could not have Christmas parties to enjoy good food in the classrooms, we still treasured the short class time playing together and chatting leisurely with friends.  We took photos together to keep the beautiful moments in our memories.
 

The SMCC Mentorship Program was launched in 2004 and is now in its nineteenth year of operation.  The program aims to provide a means for past St. Marians to share their experience (both academic and life) and professional knowledge with our F.5 students.  It is hoped that through this communication, we shall be able to better prepare our girls for further studies and career choices.

 

This year, the program was launched with a Careers Seminar Day held on 12 November 2022.  15 past St. Marians registered to be mentors and 12 of them served as the speakers on the Careers Seminar Day.  Students first attended two parallel seminars based on their preferences.  Then all students gathered again to attend the HKU Admission Talk conducted by the admission officer.  The animated chatter was a clear sign that there was no “generation gap” despite the fact that the mentors and mentees might have come from vastly different times in the St Mary’s eras.

 

The joyous and delightful School Picnic was held in Ocean Park on 10^th November. Students and teachers relished this pleasurable moment spent together.

This was the first time the entire school had congregated outdoors after the pandemic and was truly a portrayal of the renewed and vibrant school life. Students frolicked with their classmates and teachers inside the park. The relationship between students and teachers was fostered and it is hoped that a harmonious atmosphere can be further developed at school.

The CCA Registration Day was held on the 18th to 20th October. The purpose of this activity was mainly to unleash our students’ talents and help them cultivate a wide range of skills. 

 

Students participating in the activity could join the clubs according to their interests. This was a portrayal of the colourful campus life that has flourished again after the pandemic and a reflection of our substantial efforts to provide St. Marians with a high degree of autonomy. 

 

Simultaneously, the club committee members were required to make every endeavour to promote their clubs and attract new club members for this academic year. In addition to granting them an opportunity to unleash their creativity, this activity also strengthened their generic skills, such as teamwork and leadership.

 

 

In the training session, students had to overcome their fear and cooperate with one another in tackling different challenges. This process has indeed strengthened their team spirit and problem-solving skills. Moreover, engaging in group games as the participants instead of organizers, the club executive members were granted the opportunity to put themselves into other students’ shoes. They were able to reflect on the critical factors for hosting an event and how to raise the participants’ interest in future club activities. This way, the club executive members can also be capable of creating a fruitful campus life for all our students in the coming future. 

 

A thrilling and exhilarating abseiling training session was held for our F.6 students at the start of the new academic year.

 

This adventure-based activity offered students a precious opportunity to step out of their comfort zones. In the training session, students had to cooperate with their teammates and perform abseiling from the top of the school building. They were encouraged to try something new and surmount their fear in a supportive environment. This process not only helped students develop team spirit and self-confidence, but also strengthened their willpower. It is believed that this meaningful experience can help improve our students’ capabilities in dealing with future challenges.

 

The School Opening Mass was held in the school hall and live-streamed in classrooms on 29th September 2022, with Rev. Fr. Mario E. Gutierrez Carrejo as the celebrant. During the Holy Mass, the Executive Committee Members of the Catholic Society pledged to accept their missions and perform their duties faithfully for the well-being of the school and their counterparts, as well as for the greater glory of God.

 

The Swimming Gala was held on 30^th September 2022 after a two-year hiatus. Much appreciation to the preparation committee for overcoming a lot of challenges arising from the precautionary measures against COVID-19.   Since the seating capacity had been reduced, only F.1 to 3 students and student officials could take part in the Gala. The senior form students were arranged to join other sports activities on campus.
 

The Investiture of the Student Office Bearers was held in our school Hall on 29 September 2022. The ceremony began with our principal, Ms Janet Wong’s speech, addressing on the importance of leadership qualities and reminding students to show appreciation in the time of changes caused by Covid, followed by her presentation of badges to the head girls, the SC ex-co members and other head prefects.

 

The newly elected head girl, Angel Leung (5E), led the Student Council to take an oath, and all the prefects with God’s help also pledged loyalty to serve the school and uphold the values of the school community. The ceremony culminated with a speech given by the head girl to introduce the theme of the Student Council this year, “Zenith--Follow the light, reach your zenith”.

              

The Student Council Election was held on 9 September 2022 in the school hall. After the candidates had given their opening speeches, they took part in the challenge tasks where they had to answer impromptu questions related to the council positions they had applied for. On the stage, they had to break out of their comfort zone and display their talents to persuade their schoolmates that they deserved their individual votes.

 

Due to COVID restrictions, the election was broadcast live online again this year. Only F5 students were in the hall during the presentation session while all other students watched and participated in voting for the candidates in their classrooms. Despite the circumstances, the election was held smoothly and successfully. Congratulations to Angel Leung (5E) who is elected as the Head Girl and Lowell Ng (5D) and Peony Lai (5F) who are the Vice Head Girls of 2022-23! 

 

The essence of the school theme was further elaborated in the talk addressing disciplinary concerns by our Vice Principal, Ms. Amanda Tang, and Discipline Mistress, Ms. Clara Leung. The singing of the school song not only marked the end of the ceremony, but also the beginning of a fruitful school year to come.

On 27th August 2022, our Principal, Ms. Janet Wong, together with the teachers of the Religious Activities and Formation Team (RAFT) welcomed our new Form 1 Catholic students in the School Hall.  The Catholic Society introduced the theme of the year ‘Love One Another Without Distinction’ and presented the goals and activities of the five religious clubs.  The highlight of the program was the holy sacrifice of Mass, celebrated by the school chaplain, Fr. Mario Carrejo, the Parish Priest of the Rosary Church.

Our warmest welcome to our new Form 1 Catholic students!  

The Graduation Ceremony took place on 18th July 2022 at the School Hall.  143 graduates, together with their family members, distinguished guests and teaching staff, attended this dignified occasion marking an important milestone in their lives.  
 

The Ceremony started with a prayer in which graduates thanked God for His graces bestowed upon them and prayed for God’s strength and wisdom in their search for the meaning of life.  The Guest of Honour, Ms Miranda Wong, Director of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Leadership Institute, addressed the graduates on how to make good use of the education and personality development received at St. Mary’s to become deferential and resilient leaders.  After the speech, certificates and prizes were presented to our Form 6 students to affirm their graduation and their achievements in various domains.  The Benediction Prayer was said by Reverend Fr. Michael J. Sloboda who asked God for His divine guidance and protection over our graduates.  On behalf of her fellow graduates, Angelina Yu (Student Council Head Girl 2020/21) gave a vote of thanks to express their heartfelt gratitude to the school, as well as their beloved families and schoolmates, for all the guidance and support throughout their years at school.  The Ceremony came to a close with the school song chanted in unison.

 

On 8th August, a precious opportunity came up for representatives of  the Student Council and Editorial Board  to co-interview one of our distinguished alumni, Professor Nancy Ip, a world-renowned neuroscientist, the Morningside Professor of Life Science , and  the Director of the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).

 

During the interview, Professor Ip reminisced her school days at St. Mary’s, recounted her journey of  being a neuroscientist venturing  in a relatively unknown field of science and her significant breakthroughs in genome editing and finding a possible cure to Alzheimer’s disease.   Besides talking about her profession, Professor Ip also gave advice on pursuing a career in science and being a leader. 

 

At the end of the interview, Professor Ip was presented with two printed copies of the latest edition of the school newsletter, The St Marian, and a copy of A City’s Educational Heritage: Stories of Kowloon Schools 《承教．城傳：九龍學校的故事》in which she was interviewed about our school's history.  

 

We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Professor Ip as the first female president of HKUST and wish her every success in her next endeavour.

 

A full version of the interview will be published in the School Magazine 2021-2022.

A variety of exciting and stimulating activities were organized for different levels after the final examinations to let our students have fun, strengthen bonding and develop generic skills. 

 

F.2 and F.3 students participated in an adventure-based training day organized by Tree Top Cottage and the Salvation Army Education and Development Centre.  Through the challenging games, they have built up their self-confidence, communication skills, and developed their leadership, group decision-making and problem-solving skills.

 

F.4 students participated in an adventure-based programme organized by FHL Power Adventure Training Centre. They have learnt how to face challenges, boost confidence and support each other by taking part in abseiling and some other invigorating activities.  This has greatly enhanced their communication, teamwork and leadership skills.

Rejoice! For we are blessed to have a God who loves us and dwells among us!

This was the good news the Catholic Society shared with us this Christmas.
 

On 21 December, St. Mary’s was filled with the atmosphere of joy and fun. Dressed In their causal wear, all the St. Marians greeted one another with smiling faces. One could see the excitement and curiosity especially among the Form One students. For them this was their First Christmas in St. Mary’s.

The celebration started with a Bible liturgy in the School Hall while the fellow students participated in the classrooms via live broadcast. The nativity account according to St. Matthew was read telling us the good news that Jesus, called Immanuel, God-with-us, was born. Following the tradition, the fifth candle in the Advent wreath was lit to symbolize the coming of Jesus, who is the Light of the world. Then with trust and hope, we offered our intercessory prayers to God. The liturgy was concluded with carol singing led by the Assembly Choir. Their angels’ voices lifted our hearts to the highest.
 

The celebration continued with a video show broadcasted in the classrooms. The Christmas play produced by the Catholic Society and the Student Council came as a surprise! The missing Jesus in St. Mary’s chapel led the viewers into a touching and humorous story. While enjoying the creative and lively presentation of the play, we got the very important message that God is Love, when we love one another, God is with us. The video show was wrapped by the joyous performance by the Concert Band, the Intermediate Choir and the Junior Choir with a festive mood.
 

Though we could not have Christmas party to enjoy the good food in the classroom, we still treasured the short class time playing together and chatting leisurely with friends. The gorgeous decorations around the school compound attracted almost everyone to take photos. Yes, we definitely wanted to keep the beautiful moments in our memories.

The most exciting part of the celebration was the annual lucky draw.  We thanked the PTA and the PSA for their generous donation. The lucky draw would not be successful without the active participation of the teachers and students.  
 

 

Owing to the pandemic, only those who had been vaccinated could join the competitions. The Form 6 students were especially excited and enthusiastic as it was the last time they could gather together in this sportsground.

 

Although the event was comparatively smaller in scale than past annual sports days, everyone took an active part in cheering for their schoolmates and running in the races. The highlight of the day was the Prize Presentation Ceremony, not only because the winners were rewarded with medals, but also because of the fruitful and joyful experience. To draw the Athletic Experience Day to a close, all teachers and students took a group photo to end the day.

Fashion Show 2021 took place during the class period in the School Hall on 3^rd December 2021. Form 5 students watched the presentations in the Hall, whereas Form 4 students stayed in their classrooms and watched a live broadcast.
 

The theme of the Fashion Show this year was Contrast.  Four groups of students presented their fashion designs in the show.  Each presentation included a video – depiction of the theme and walking down the catwalk by a student-model to present their innovative ideas on the concept. Form 4 and Form 5 students, as well as teachers, voted for the Best Model Award and the Champion Award. 5A Anny Chau and 5A Esther Chan were the awardees respectively.
 

A Life-wide Learning Day was held on 26th November 2021 to expose students to different learning experiences outside the classroom.

 

Form One students participated in team building activities at school. To start with, they had an opportunity to discover their character strengths through fun games. After a series of warm up activities, they accomplished different tasks in groups - played a treasure hunt, created their class slogan and built a castle together. They enjoyed a fun morning communicating with their classmates and knowing each other better.

 

Form Two students experienced a 4-hour stress-release course, surrounded by the nature of Shing Mun Reservoir, through meditation and mindfulness exercises under the trees and sky. In addition to relaxing themselves, they also learnt more about the local ecosystem and appreciated the beauty of the natural environment. 

 

Form Three students visited the Hong Kong Heritage Museum to find out more about popular culture in Hong Kong after the 1960s which acted as an extended learning activity for History. It was truly an eye-opening experience for them to learn about the culture of Hong Kong six decades ago.

 

 

The speakers, Mr. Joseph H. L. Chan, JP, Under Secretary for FSTB and Mr. Gabriel Chan, Secretary General of HKBCS, shared with students the latest blockchain developments in Hong Kong and the adoption of technology in finance and the treasury.

Student achievement presentation sharing took place on 17^th September, 2021 during the class period in the school hall. Form 3 students went to the hall to watch the presentations, whereas other forms stayed in their classrooms and watched a live video feed. A total of six groups presented during the sharing, with experiences shared ranging from joining ambassador schemes and leadership programmes, to attending a forensic science competition and FINTECH course. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly a sharing from Bethany Chow on her day spent shadowing a senior government official. All groups were introduced by four lively and entertaining student MCs who did an excellent job in arousing the audience’s interest before the presenters came to the stage. Overall, the event was run smoothly and the sharing provided all students with a great insight into the enrichment activities and courses available to them.
