Visit 獨 居 長 者 (15 June and 6 July 20<strong>19</strong>)<br />

After the final exam, we organized a visit for our subcom members to single elderly home at Lam Tin on June 15 and<br />

July 6. About 30 families participated and each family visit two elderlies to learn more about their daily living and<br />

how they lived by themselves and looked after each other. It was so touching that one of the elderlies gave each boy a<br />

package of self-made bean bag and sharing how this is being played when she was young.<br />

2 nd Hand book fair (6 July 20<strong>19</strong>)<br />

This event was widely received by parents and students since 2016. Our goals are to<br />

promote the joy of reading, enhance environmental awareness and encourage students<br />

to donate old textbooks and leisure books that are no longer in use to benefit other<br />

boys who love to read. Many parents and boys came to the classroom to read and buy<br />

happily on the event day!<br />

Green Uniform (17 May 20<strong>19</strong>)<br />

PTA Green Uniform programme collected around 400 pieces of used uniforms. Most of our used uniforms found<br />

new home among our boys. With the remaining 50 uncollected pieces (mainly PE uniforms), we shipped them to an<br />

Orphanage in the Philippines.<br />

Our school started as an Orphanage itself 150 years ago and it is meaningful that our used uniforms can find new<br />

masters in another Orphanage.<br />
