Kick-off Ceremony of SFXC Mentorship Scheme 2016

The kick-off ceremony of SFXC Mentorship Scheme was held successfully on 10th December 2016. It started off with an array of activities including certificate presentation and ice-breaking games, which were followed by a gathering time. Over 70 of our senior students taking part in the Mentorship Scheme had the privilege of spending a wonderful evening with their mentors. During the fun ice-breaking games, both mentors and mentees enjoyed very much the great moments in exchanging the pleasant experiences and fond memories they had had in SFXC. The Mentorship is another way for us to pass our unique culture and family spirit to the next generation of Xavierians.

Career Expo 2016

On 10th December 2016, the Careers Guidance Committee organized its first major career event for this school year - the Career Expo 2016. It intended to expose 200 senior form students to different career paths. The event started off with an inspiring and meaningful keynote speech by Mr. Kenneth Mok, the president of the SFXC Alumni Association. It was followed by two intensive sharing sessions from 26 alumni speakers from 6 different sectors. There was no doubt that Career Expo equipped our students with comprehensive and the latest information on multiple study paths and career options. In addition, it also helped to unlock the potential of our students with life planning skills and strengthening our career guidance services in school.

Marist 200 Walkathon

Close to 2000 students, teachers, parents and alumni from both SFX schools took part in the Marist 200 Walkathon, the kick-off event for the Marist 200 Celebration Campaign. The walkathon was held at the Shing Mun Reservoir Country Park on 3rd December 2016. It aimed at raising fund for the series of events to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Marist Brothers. With good weather on our side and high spirits in our heart, the walkathon was a resounding success.

After the Mass, the students eagerly participated in various activities, such as inter-house sports and debating competitions, movie appreciation and many more.
