Background

Wah Yan International Reunion (“WYIR” and formerly known as Wah Yan International Conference) is one of the important events for Wah Yan alumni across the globe to meet together. The first Wah Yan International Conference ran in 1988 with the theme, Wah Yan Family Around the World. After that, WYIR holds every two years and has the following four key objectives:

  1. To provide fellowship opportunities between local and overseas Wahyanites
  2. To allow Wah Yan alumni all over the World to better understand the wellbeing of each other
  3. To keep alumni informed about both Wah Yan Colleges in Hong Kong and Kowloon
  4. To explore possible improvements on our Global Link networking

The 16th WYIR will be held in Hong Kong in November 2019 and co-organised by the past student associations of both Wah Yan Hong Kong and Wah Yan Kowloon.

 

Our Theme in 2019

“Brotherhood Beyond Time” “穿越百年情”.

In celebrating 100th/95th Anniversary of Wah Yan Hong Kong/Kowloon across 2019/2020, we believe that ‘情’ is one of the key elements to hold all Wahyanites together, wherever you stay after graduation.
