Report from the Student Ambassadors 2017

After having been a member of Wah Yan for five years, the school has become home for me. I have also found different members of the Wah Yan family to be firmly connected with each other, the ones who have left are no exception. My trip to California, US has once again proved to me that how vibrant and dynamic our Wah Yan family is, and more importantly, showed me how united we are.

Day 1-Arrival in Los Angeles 
In the morning of 16th July, Jason Wong, the student ambassador of Wah Yan College, Kowloon, and I arrived at the Hong Kong international airport. Mr Silas Chan, Mr Gary Ching and Mr Peter Tang from WYHKPSA came to see us off. Upon arriving at the LAX International Airport. Mr Jason Chan, the president of the WYPSA, Southern California and our host in Los Angeles, welcomed us warmly and brought us to his enormous house where we stayed. We had dinner with members of the Southern California Chapter later that night. The alumni were keen to know more about the current development of the schools and we tried our best to fill them in with the most updated information.

Day 2-Journey in Universal Studio 
Guided by Mr Raymond Wong, a young graduate of WYK, we had a wonderful day at the Universal Studio. After the exhausting yet exciting visit, we went to the second tallest building of the West Coast. From there, the whole of downtown Los Angeles could be seen.

Day 3-Visit to UCLA and Hollywood 
Our tight schedule this day started with a visit to the Getty Museum which exhibited classical art work. Next we had a casual lunch with Professor John Tong in University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). As an alumnus of both WYHK and WYK, Professor Tong had rich knowledge about the Wah Yan family. He was also eager to know more about the current Wah Yan. After lunch, we had a tour of UCLA and acquired a better understanding of the university. In the evening we dined with Mr James Young, a WYHK alumnus who was dedicated to promoting Cantonese rapping. The last visit of the day was to the Griffith Observatory. From there, we enjoyed the colourful night view of vibrant Los Angeles.

Day 4-Arrival in San Francisco 
After a relaxing morning, we headed to the airport and flew to San Francisco. Upon arrival, Mr Ambrose Leung, the president of the WYPSA, Northern California and an alumnus of WYK, picked us up with a heartwarming welcoming.

Day 5- Visit to Stanford and Downtown San Francisco 
In the morning, we meet a retired teacher of WYK, Mr Leung Kin Ping. After hearing from Mr Leung the computer and technology development of Wah Yan, we toured the University of Stanford accompanied by Mr Wong and Mr Li, two physics teachers from WYK. Compared to the universities in Hong Kong, Stanford not only had a much larger footprint and many more historical buildings, it also had abundant open green space. It was an eye-opening experience for me as the structure and the environment of Stanford was beyond my imagination! In the afternoon, we visited the headquarters of Google. Three alumni who worked in Google took us around and we had lunch in the canteen of this world-changing enterprise. At night, we explored Downtown San Francisco on our own. We first took the iconic cable car, and then visited the China Town and finally, visited the Museum of Modern Arts. The artwork in the Museum stunned us as it was such a stark contrast with conventional art like those in Getty Museum!

Day 6-Visit to UC Berkeley and Golden Gate Bridge 
In the morning, we took off to visit UC Berkeley, a top university in the world. To my surprise, the University was not as grand and impressive as Stanford and UCLA. Furthermore, the neighbourhood was poor and shabby! However, I was told that this was actually a characteristic of the university as it was one of the few universities that enrolled a large number of students from the lower class. After lunch, we drove through the Golden Gate Bridge, the landmark of the Bay area. Then we headed to the University of San Francisco (USF) to prepare for the Wah Yan International Conference (WYIC).

Day 6-8-Wah Yan International Conference 
The highlight of the trip was the Wah Yan International Conference (WYIC). Every two years Wahyanites from all over the world gather together and this year, the theme of the conference was “Setting the World of Fire”. The meeting was held in USF, with the assistance of the Ricci Institute, a Jesuit university department. In the three days, participants attended two talks given by professors of the Ricci Institute on various topics. The keynote speaker spoke on the topic of social enterprises. The talks gave me new insights and made me realise that as a Wahyanite, we must not solely focus on ourselves but should be aware of the world and be willing to support a worthy cause. On 22nd July, there was a gala dinner. At the dinner, I met alumni from all ages and from different backgrounds and experienced the unity and bonding of the Wah Yan community. Jason and I each gave a short speech about our school lives and many alumni showed interest in current school affairs even though they were already in their sixties and seventies! As I watched alumni chatting to each other, I finally understood that our unity was indeed the backbone of our success, while the readiness to serve others was Wah Yan’s limps that reached out to the public. This was the reason of Wah Yan’s success. The conference ended on 23rd July and we flew back that night. When I was on the plane, the inspiration I got from the Conference resounded in my brain. To me, it was the most valuable lesson in the whole trip.

Vote of Thanks 
This fruitful trip would not be made possible without the generous help of the WYPSA Southern California and Northern California Chapters. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the alumni who had given up their leisure time to accompany us during the trip, especially Mr Jason Chan and Mr Ambrose Leung. The two Chapter chairmen hosted us with great affection and care. We were lucky to be able to have them as our hosts. I would also like to thank the Past Student Association for their generous sponsor, especially Mr Michael Au, Mr Gary Ching, Mr Silas Chan, Mr Thomas Tsang and Mr Peter Tang. They have been collaborating with the overseas Chapters to make this trip safe and smooth. Without their support, I would never have the opportunity to present myself as the Student Ambassador. I have been in Wah Yan for over five years (11 years if I count also the PUWY days) and I have many precious experiences. I am certain that this ambassador trip will remain one of the highlights of my secondary school life. The lesson I have learnt in the trip will never fade in my memory.

Report from the Student Ambassadors 2016

It is our honour to visit the Ontario Chapter of Wah Yan Alumni Associations from 7 August 2016 (Sunday) to 14 August 2016 (Sunday) as the Student Ambassadors of this year. It serves not only the purpose of greeting our brothers in Ontario, but also catching them up on the news and stories of Wah Yan, and sharing the experience of meeting our overseas alumni with students. We are very grateful to be received by Mr Stephen Ching, Mr Anthony Ho, and all the alumni in Ontario throughout the trip.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr Jeffery Mah (WYKAAO), Mr Albert Lau (WYHKOAA), Mr Andrew Ng (WYHKOAA), Mr Paulus Ng (WYHK ’71), Mr Andrew Tang (WYK ’66), Mr Rudy Pun (WYK ’63), Mr Raymond Kwok (WYK ’66), Mr Raymond Kan (WYK ’78) and Mr Gus Yeung (WYK '66) for their hospitality in looking after us during the visit.

Besides, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Peter Wong (WYK ’62) and Mr Sonny Sie (WYK ’60) for offering us a place to stay during the trip.

Without the joint efforts of the International Network Committee and Mr Michael Au, we would not have been there and gained such an invaluable experience. Thank you, Michael, for your thoughtful arrangement and coordination. We have to thank WYKAAO and WYHKOAA for hosting the programme, and Wah Yan PSAs for co-organizing the Student Ambassador Scheme.

We would also like to appreciate Mr So Ying Lun, Mr Warren Chung, Mr Keung Yiu Ming, Mr Silas Chan, Mr Tsang Ho Fai, Mr Gary Ching, Mr Raymond Chow and Mr Li Yin Pok for their support.

Last but not least, we are pleased to be selected as the Ambassadors since the only chance of representing the school, the alumni and the students in a PSA-sponsored trip is by joining the Student Ambassador Scheme. Both of us hold our firm belief that this Scheme allows Wahyanites to be better equipped for their future service in the Wah Yan community. It is our earnest hope that the tradition of annual overseas visits will be inherited and continue in the coming years.

Please feel free to view our photos here.

Thank you again for making this amazing trip possible!

Initiated in 1987, the Students of the Year & Student Ambassador Scheme is an innovative and lavish idea aimed at broadening the mind of the students and promoting good relationship between the Wah Yan (H.K.) Past Students Association (PSA) and its overseas counterparts. The scheme is sponsored by the PSA. Nomination of six candidates is made every October by all Lower 6 students based on overall academic performance, demonstrable leadership quality, organisation ability and proven record of service to fellow Wahyanites, the College and the Hong Kong community. Three of the six candidates will then be nominated by members of the teaching staff and the SOY Society as "Students of the Year". Nomination results are subject to endorsement by the College Principal. 

The three Students of the Year are then interviewed by a selection panel comprised of Past Presidents and key officials of the PSA for the selection of a "Student Ambassador" who will represent the PSA to visit an overseas chapter. Selection criteria are for one who is mature, sociable and devoted to his various endeavours; with good personality; loyal to the school and the PSA; and has a strong sense of belonging for Hong Kong.
