I can do it

At the commencement ceremony at the beginning of the term, I suggested the motto ‘I can do it’ to the students, hoping that we could foster a positive atmosphere at school. You will have the courage to follow your dreams if you have faith in your limitless potential. Our dreams allow us the willpower to transform impossibilities into possibilities. Dreams are not unattainable. You have to transform your ideas and thoughts into deeds and use them in both your

everyday life and your studies. You will surely attain a remarkable outcome if you hold onto your dream-chasing route and have unshakable conviction.

Stage to shine

Our school is the strongest backup and support for students to pursue their dreams. We give students diverse resources and pertinent support so they can shine on stages in a safe and dependable environment. To achieve this, we endeavor to upgrade our facilities and offer opportunities for students to reach their full potential. We redesigned the computer lab and renamed it ‘Smart Space’ in an effort to boost students’ creative and logical thinking abilities as well as advance STREAM education. We expect that students will be able to acquire innovative skills in technology development with the help of the professional equipment. In addition, we are excited to work with external organizations and teams to integrate new technologies into the classroom. Our school is once again chosen as one of the ten champion schools in the ‘CUHK Jockey Club AI for the Future Project’ this year. Together with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, we will design an AI education curriculum. Through this unprecedented curriculum, students could learn about the use of cutting-edge technology and develop their creative thinking. Along with the resources provided by school, we encourage students to compete internationally and travel outside of Hong Kong. Our robotics team seized the chance to participate in the 42^nd ROBO-ONE Robotics Competition by traveling to Kanagawa, Japan in September. The team conducted in-depth discussions with teams from other nations and the competition broadened students’ perspectives. Furthermore, we have offered various opportunities for students to demonstrate their abilities outside of the classroom, such as the ‘Variety Show’ which took place before the Year End Ceremony. Apart from traditional instruments, speeches and martial arts performances, students also invited their teachers to perform collaboratively. This entire process not only helped students and teachers bond, but also gave them the chance to realize their potential as leaders through the participation in organizing the performances.

Passing on the Torch, Carrying on the Legacy

Our school commemorated its 65th anniversary last academic year. We were delighted to see many of our retired teachers, alumni, and parents again during the celebration. We are grateful to each of them for making noteworthy contribution and laying a solid foundation for the St. Joseph family rooted in the community. Here, I wish to encourage all students to carry on these cherished and hard-won traditions, to imitate Christ’s model traits, and to keep contributing to the society with the spirit of ‘Caritas’, namely ‘To the stars, Benevolence’.
