Principal's Message
We are once again launching a new academic year under the cloud of COVID-19. Staying healthy, along with protecting oneself and others, remains our students’ top priority. Even with the majority of our students having received two vaccine shots, we must never drop our guard. We should maintain personal hygiene, observe all applicable social distancing and anti-epidemic measures, and get vaccinated.
Lately, the Education Bureau has reviewed the requirements for the resumption of whole-day classes and extra-curricular activities. We all hope that our students can enjoy normal school life, and experience healthy development of their physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Therefore, the school strongly encourages students to receive vaccinations timely, including the third dose, which helps to create a favourable environment for early resumption of normal schooling.
This academic year marks the beginning of a new school development cycle. We carry on to make ‘enhancing learning effectiveness’ and ‘fulfilling the vision and mission of Catholic education, upholding and passing on the 5 Catholic core values, nurturing students to be self-loving “Tung Teens” and cultivating an empathy-centered school’ our major concerns. Our initiatives include incorporating Catholic core values into the classroom, promoting pre-lesson preparation and note-taking habits, correcting misbehavior through engaging students in different levels of reflection, as well as building empathy in students. With collective efforts, we wish that our students live Christian values, embrace active learning and grow to be self-loving and empathic Tung Teens.
In this new academic year, the school is also adopting a 55-minute-per-lesson timetable to maximize learning effectiveness. I take this chance to urge students to treasure their face-to-face learning time, prepare well for lessons and follow the active learning strategies, such as taking notes, to achieve the best possible learning outcomes.
God bless,
Lam Chi Kong
