Homecoming & Thanksgiving Reunion
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, we had planned a series of homecoming and reunion functions for Wayingers of different generations to relive and share stories of their good old days. It was beyond our imagination that the homecoming journey along Sheung Wo Street could be so full of obstacles, under the pandemic and social distancing policy. Yet, such setbacks did not discourage Wayingers who, instead, cherished every reunion opportunity and were heartened to face the challenges with the spirit of our school motto: We Work Together. We Care. We Serve.
Anniversary Golden Jubilee Cup
It has been Waying athletes’ tradition to celebrate school anniversary or Wa Ying’s Folks’ Day in the sportsground. Once they, be it students, alumni, teachers or coaches, are in the sportsground, they share the same identity: Waying athletes. Due to the pandemic, the Anniversary Golden Jubilee Cup was held on 2 days: 19th and 26th June 2021. Despite the ever-changing dates, the hot weather and rainy days, the Waying spirit, sportsmanship and friendship could be fully felt, smelt and heard in the mingled rainwater, sweat and thundering cheers.
Anniversary Thanksgiving Reunion
Wa Ying has been blessed with a team of dedicated teaching staff with strong mission in offering quality education to students since its re-establishment in Homantin half a century ago. They have laid a solid foundation for the school’s democratic administration, innovative curriculum and balanced student development. Celebration of the school’s 50th anniversary offers Wayingers a golden opportunity for reunion and thanksgiving. Some founding and experienced former teachers came back to recount stories of our good old days, sharing the pride as a Wayinger. There was a thanksgiving session for the dialogue between alumni and their teacher coaches or mentors.
Thanksgiving Reunions of Student Organizations, Clubs and Societies
Other than classrooms and sportsgrounds, extra-curricular activities or other learning experiences are the important platforms for students’ holistic development and bonding. 50 years have passed, our student leaders hosted the reunion gatherings on 26th June 2021, with an attempt to reconnect the former student leaders and their teacher advisers. In tracing the history and legacy of their organizations, clubs or societies, they pledge to become the torchbearers of the good tradition, documenting the core values they cherish. While they were amazed by the sharing and experiences of their alumni, their big brothers/sisters appreciated their innovative ideas and new development.
Thanksgiving to founders & pillars of WYC in the past 50 years;
Blessings for Wa Ying in the new milestone.
