Distinguished Alumni Sharing Series – A Memorable Reunion of House Spirit

On 30th May 2025, we were honored to welcome back four distinguished alumni—the House Captains and Vice Captains from the academic year 1996–97—for an inspiring and heartfelt sharing session. The event featured Mr. Chan Kam Cheong Michael of Yellow House, Mr. Fung Kwan Hang Brian of Blue House, Mr. Mok King of Red House, and Mr. Tam Chi Ho Andy of Green House.

During the session, the alumni shared personal stories that highlighted the enduring spirit of the four Houses, the excitement of healthy competition, and the deep sense of brotherhood that has continued for over three decades. Their reflections emphasized how the House system not only fostered school pride but also played a pivotal role in shaping their character and leadership. They encouraged current Form 3 students to take up leadership roles, noting how the experience of serving as a House Captain builds crucial life skills like teamwork, resilience, and dedication.

A particularly memorable moment of the event was the alumni’s performance of the school’s 40th Anniversary theme song, “真心不變四十年.” This brought back cherished memories for many and reminded the audience of the school’s rich heritage. It is worth noting that Mr. Andy Tam and Mr. Brian Fung were previously recognized for their lyrical talents, having received the championship and first runner-up awards, respectively, for Best Lyrics in the original anniversary song competition.

The event was a powerful testament to the strength of the school’s legacy and the lasting impact of its alumni. It served as a meaningful reminder that the House Spirit continues to inspire unity, leadership, and excellence in every generation of students.

70th Graduation Day – Class of 2024–2025

The Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2024–2025 was successfully held on 17th May 2025, marking an unforgettable milestone in the lives of our students. We were deeply honored to welcome Professor Lam Chi Yuen Nelson JP, a distinguished alumnus from the Class of 1985, as our Guest of Honor.

This momentous occasion was shared not only by our proud F.6 graduates, but also by their families and dedicated teachers, who gathered to celebrate their remarkable achievements.

As our graduates now embark on their next journey, we wish them every success and fulfillment in all their endeavors. May God guide their steps, and may they always cherish their identity as proud Xaverians.

70th Anniversary Alumni Sharing: Passing the Torch of Student Leadership

In a memorable event marking our school’s 70th Anniversary, three generations of distinguished school leaders returned to inspire current students. Mr. Cheung Pak Lun (Class of 1996), Mr. Fok Lik Hang Larry (Class of 2009), and Mr. Man Chun Kit Jack (Class of 2017), captivated our Form 4 students with first-hand accounts of the Student Union’s transformative journey over the past 30 years.

The speakers highlighted how the Student Union’s core values—leadership, collaboration, and service—have shaped both the school and their own personal and professional growth. Aimed particularly at our Form 4 students, they demonstrated how participation in student governance cultivates essential life skills, sharing personal anecdotes of challenges overcome and friendships forged through shared purpose.

This meaningful dialogue between past and present embodied the enduring spirit of our school—Brotherhood—showcasing how alumni continue to uplift and inspire new generations. As we celebrate seven decades of excellence, such connections remind us that our school’s greatest strength lies in its people—past, present, and future.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to these outstanding alumni for giving back to their Alma Mater. Their continued dedication truly exemplifies the spirit we celebrate in our 70th year.

Alumni Sharing Session– “The Way of the Director” with Mr Cheang Pou Soi

On 26 April 2025, St. Francis Xavier’s College was honoured to welcome back our distinguished alumnus, Mr Cheang Pou Soi (鄭保瑞), an acclaimed film director.

In a special Alumni Sharing Session titled “The Way of the Director”, Mr Cheang spoke candidly to current students about his journey in the world of acting and filmmaking. He reflected on the challenges he faced, the choices he made, and the values that have guided him throughout his career. One of the most moving elements of his talk was his emphasis on the importance of brotherhood, perseverance, and the deep sense of belonging he continues to feel as a member of the SFXC family.

As a token of appreciation and admiration, Mr Wayne Lau (Class of 1990), Chairman of the SFXC Alumni Association and a classmate of Mr Cheang, presented him with a meaningful gift — a painting he created himself. The artwork incorporates words of wisdom from the Laughing Buddha, praising Mr Cheang’s determination and persistence, which have led to the remarkable success he enjoys today.
