14 principals from the Yau Tsim Mong District School Liaison Committee paid our principal, Mr. Iu, a visit on 22 July 2021 to celebrate his retirement starting from Sept 2021. Let’s pray that Mr. Iu can enjoy his retirement after laying down his heavy burden as the principal of SFXC.

The day for the release of HKDSE result is imminent. On 17^th July 2021, our school put together a seminar to prepare our F.6 students and their parents for the upcoming “big day”. The morning session of the seminar was to prepare students for various possibilities of HKDSE results. They were informed of the multiple study pathways and numerous alternative options. They were also psychologically prepared for the possible ups and downs, and any potential surprises.

In the afternoon, a total of 62 parents of our F.6 boys attended the online session. The participants were equipped with the knowledge to better support their sons on the “big day”. They were also given an opportunity to voice their concerns and worries. The overall atmosphere of the whole-day event was positive and the responses from the participants were very good.

Let’s cheer up our F.6 boys and give them all the support they need for a very emotionally challenging day on the 21^st of July.

The Form 1 Summer Bridging Course 2021 began on 14 July, 2021. The 7-day course, taught by Native English Teachers and our Form 6 graduates, was tailor-made with an aim to accustom the newly admitted Form 1 boys to the English learning environment and school life in St. Francis Xavier’s College. During the course, not only did the boys learn different academic subjects using English as the medium of instruction, but also experience what our school life would be like, including saying the Prayer together at the Morning Assembly.
