15-day UK Cultural and Academic Exploration Tour

Thirty of our students extended their learning beyond the classroom during the 15-day UK Cultural and Academic Exploration Tour (16–30 July 2026), combining language immersion, university insight, cultural discovery and hands-on experiences across London, Canterbury, Cambridge and Oxford.

In London, students explored landmarks including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and The Shard, experiencing both the city’s heritage and modern skyline. Guided visits to the British Museum and Natural History Museum deepened their historical and scientific understanding. They also took part in a mock trial at the Royal Courts of Justice and a public speaking workshop on entrepreneurship at the London School of Economics (LSE). Cultural enrichment continued with the West End musical Wicked.

University life and academic aspirations were another major focus. Students visited UCL for campus learning and creative workshops, and experienced the atmosphere of Cambridge and Oxford. Highlights included a team problem-solving workshop at the University of Cambridge and visits to King’s College and Christ Church College.

Other memorable experiences included the Harry Potter Studio Tour, Arsenal Football Stadium and Hampton Court Palace, where students deepened their understanding of Britain’s royal history and heritage. A traditional high tea added an authentic cultural experience to the programme.

 

Overall, the tour strengthened students’ confidence in English, global awareness and personal growth, enabling them to return home with greater curiosity, broader perspectives and lasting memories.

Summer Bridging Course 2026

Our Summer Bridging Course for new Form 1 students was held from 16 to 24 July 2026 (seven days). The programme helped students transition smoothly into secondary school life and build confidence learning in English.

Each day, students took part in English lessons led by our Native English Teachers, covering essential foundations such as phonics, classroom language, note-taking, and presentation skills. To extend learning beyond language, sessions in Mathematics, Science, History, and Geography were delivered by our Form 6 graduates, selected for their strong academic performance and exemplary conduct.

The programme concluded with a graduation ceremony to recognise students who demonstrated outstanding learning attitudes and conduct. Our School Principal, Mr Mario Leung, encouraged the new Form 1 boys to make good use of the summer break to prepare for the year ahead. Course Principal Mr Austin Cheng also shared thoughtful reflections, encouraging students to do their utmost to improve and to persevere. Most importantly, they are not alone, as there are always brothers by their side.

We look forward to seeing our new Form 1 boys carry this positive spirit into the new academic year and grow into responsible, caring, and motivated learners.

F.6 DSE Seminar & Eve-of-Results BBQ Gathering 2025–2026

On July 4th, our school hosted the annual F.6 Seminar to equip graduating students and their parents for the upcoming HKDSE results release. The morning commenced with an inspiring opening address by Principal Mr. Leung, emphasizing mental resilience. Students attended a briefing session on administrative procedures, rechecking protocols, and support networks, followed by a reflective documentary and a prayer led by Brother John.

To foster practical readiness, students participated in a grade simulation exercise and small-group workshops, where alumni offered tailored guidance on JUPAS strategies and career planning. Meanwhile, parents attended an interactive Q&A session on JUPAS logistics and a talk on emotional support by our school social worker. The session ended on a touching note with a video of student gratitude and parents writing message cards of encouragement.

On July 14th, the school hosted a joyful BBQ gathering on the eve of the results release. Joined by teachers and alumni, the event provided F.6 students with a relaxing space to alleviate pressure, showcasing the deep rapport and brotherhood within our Xaverian community.

As our F.6 cohort steps into this major milestone, we stand united in supporting them with care, clarity, and unwavering confidence.

Graduation Ceremony 2026

The F6 Graduation Ceremony was held on the evening of May 23, 2026, bringing the SFXC community together to celebrate a significant milestone for our graduating class. We were deeply honoured to have our alumnus, Dr. Yeung Tai-kong (Class of 83), as our Guest of Honour. Dr. Yeung is a distinguished radiologist and healthcare administrator who currently serves as the Cluster Chief Executive of the New Territories West Cluster for the Hospital Authority.

During his address, Dr. Yeung fondly recalled his own student days at SFXC. He shared a modern twist on the classic fable of the tortoise and the hare, reminding graduates that everyone possesses unique talents. He highlighted that true success comes from learning from one another and choosing collaboration over competition, showing that by working together and leveraging each other's strengths, we can overcome challenges that none of us could face alone.

The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and Alumni Association also prepared graduation gifts for the graduates to congratulate them on this special occasion. The PTA presented each graduate with a Xaverian figurine, while the Alumni Association prepared a gift pack including an alumni tie, a tie pin, a bookmark featuring the school badge, an SFXC45 keyring, and a notebook reprinted from the original design once used at SFXC Shanghai, reminding us of our roots and heritage.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Yeung for his inspiring words, as well as to all the students, parents, and teachers who contributed to the success of this event. Once again, congratulations to our F6 graduates, and we extend our warmest wishes for their success and joy in all their future journeys.
