Holy Familians rejoiced in unity and robustness as school reopened on 2 September after a long summer break. New S1 students and several new teachers received the most enthusiastic and rapturous welcome in the School Opening Ceremony. Schoolmates were spirited as the ceremony commenced with our Principal, Ms Cheng’s heartwarming greeting. The yearly theme Staying Active Staying Healthy was unveiled in the Principal’s uplifting and impassioned opening speech. The yearly theme is warmly embraced by Holy Familians, as they understand that health is truly the greatest wealth and a priceless gift from God. Under God’s blessing, Holy Familians shine with exuberance and ebullience as they embark on the journey of striving for wellness in this new academic year.
Members of the Head Girl Core Group, Kitty Ng, Sally Ho and Natalie Poon shared their thoughts and experiences on nourishing their bodies and minds to lead a healthy lifestyle. They ardently recounted how they brought healthy habits into practice and how a physically active lifestyle evoked vitality and vivacity. Mesmerized by the sharing, schoolmates can surely enjoy the glow of health! Sports Ambassadors Jane Fung, Charlotte Ho and Cwing Chin also shared their illuminating insights on physical fitness and healthy diet to maintain the synergy of a healthy body. Their hands-on experience and active participation in a host of sports activities were truly enthralling and stimulating. The Sports Ambassadors’ sharing was also a prelude to the launch of the eagerly anticipated Energy Boost Lunchtime Programme.
As the new school year unfolds with a renewed sense of hope, effervescence and optimism, Holy Familians will unequivocally remain steadfast in their pursuit of excellence – both for the body and for the mind. Let’s grow and thrive by staying active, staying healthy!
