In recognition of our students’ active participation in volunteer work in 2019, the Social Welfare Department of HK SAR recently awarded us the belated 10K-Hour Social Services Award. It was supposedly sent to us in 2020 but has been delayed for a whole year due to the pandemic.  It is a pity that all the acitivities in 2020 were shut down by Covid-19 so we were not able to contribute any services to the society. Still we are very proud of our boys’ willingness to shoulder social responsibilities and lend helping hands to those who needed them in 2019. Let’s hope that the activities can resume in the next half of 2021.

On 13^th March 2021, we interviewed all candidates (currently Primary 6) who applied for our F.1 discretionary places for the 2021-2022 school year. Since we only have 40 discretionary places, the competition was really fierce. While the student candidates were having interviews conducted by our teachers, parents were invited to a talk in the hall. Thanks to the combined effort of our staff and helpers from the Xaverian community, the F.1 Admission Interview Day was concluded smoothly even under the looming pandemic. Good luck to all the candidates and we look forward to welcoming them into our Xaverian community soon.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we cancelled many activities, including our Lunar New Year Gathering with the Brothers. To help share our love and joy with them, the Staff Affairs sub-committee created a beautiful New Year gift basket for Mr. Iu to present to the Brothers on behalf of all staff on 19^th February 2021. Though there weren’t many on scene to witness the event, it didn’t make it any less warm and joyful.

Stay safe everyone, may we all have a healthy and fruitful Year of the Ox.
