With the aim to provide a glimpse of the national state of China, the Unified Association of Kowloon West organizes study trips to various parts of China annually. This year, the destination for the visit was Shanghai. Around 130 students from the Yau Tsim Mong district, including 10 from SFXC headed by the principal himself, took part in this event.

Though the trip encountered a minor setback by a 7-hour flight delay in the departing trip due to poor weather, the rest of the trip went smoothly. The group visited various landmarks in Shanghai, included the National Art Museum of China and the newly established Disneyland. The students also had exchange experience with students in esteemed institutes such as the Fudan, Tongji and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. On 1st July, our Xaverians also got the opportunity to visit and had exchanges with Bei Hong Senior High School (formerly the St. Francis Xavier’s College of Shanghai).

All students returned safely on 4th July with fond memories to savor for years to come.

Two representatives of a group of 1976 alumni paid a visit to their alma mater on 22nd June 2016. They showed their support to the learning of the students by donating a sum of $150000 to sponsor our students’ expenditure in Science related activities, Mentorship programmes and the Junior Achievement Program.

Eight teaching staff of the Beihong Senior Secondary School Shanghai paid a visit to our school. Other than reporting the latest development in two schools, Principal Iu led our senior staff from subject panels like Mathematics, Chinese Language., Chinese History, Chemistry and Biology to have professional dialogues through group sharing with them.
