Others	:	6th September, 2024 School theme: Prudence in words and deeds; Empowering others through self-excellence Through a series of 70th anniversary celebration events, it is an honor to gather generations of “CHRISTians”, staff, alumni and parents, reminisced about the abundant grace God has been pouring into our school in the past 70 years. Looking back at the school history. Reminiscing Hong Kong suffered from a lack of social resources and a large number of out-of-school children after World War II. In 1953, they resolutely pushed through all challenges to establish Christ College in Kowloon City. In 1977, there was the illuminated slogan board written “Christ is the Light of the World” installed on the exterior wall of Christ College’s former campus (now the “Cornerstone Education Centre”). It symbolized the commitment of the church and the school to shine for God in Kowloon City, a complicated grassroots community at that time. This is similar to how Jesus Christ taught his disciples in Sermon on the Mount: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16), I deeply hope that Christ College will serve as salt and light in the future, sharing the love of Jesus Christ in the community. Among the school anniversary celebration events last year, what impressed and touched me the most was the Lighting Ceremony during the School Anniversary Thanksgiving Service. At first, I lit the candle in my hand and passed the light to the Form 6 students, the Form 6 students then passed it to the Form 5 students and so on. This Lighting Ceremony symbolized the passing on of the identity of “CHRISTian” from generation to generation. I firmly believe that every “CHRISTian” will be able to continue the mission of “Caring for the Community and Preaching the Gospel”, to glow and shine for Jesus Christ in different places. Our school theme this year is “Prudence in words and deeds; Empowering others through self-excellence”. The theme Bible verse is: “I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity.” (1 Chronicles 29:17) I hope all of us can learn from Jesus Christ's teaching, showing prudence in your words and deeds; maintaining a humble and reverent heart, an upright body and an honest mind. I believe that you should first pursue a life with self-excellence, then empower others, positively impact people around you and even the community, and bring blessings to more people. During the summer holiday, Paris held the world's most appealing event, the Olympic Games. I would like to share three of my most unforgettable moments of the Games to encourage everyone. 1. The Chinese young diver Quan Hongchan. She possesses that quality of humility, who always unyieldingly and constantly strives for improvements — Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young; 2. Ni Xialian, a 61-year-old former Luxembourg table tennis national team key player. She has always stayed passionate to chase her dream in table tennis. No matter win or lose, she enjoys every game as a bed of roses, and takes delight in achieving her life goals — To press on toward the mark; 3. Every Paralympic athlete who does not mind their self-limitations and overcomes all difficulties to break through. They do not give up easily, they undergo trials and errors, and continuously strive to discover and develop their personal talents — You are the treasures in the eyes of God, make good use of your gifts. Finally, as the principal, I hope that all students can set clear goals for themselves in the new school year by learning from these Olympic figures, breaking through limitations with courage, and working towards aspirations and dreams. Principal Wong Kon Man

Remarks	:	To enhance students' abilities in English to bridge the gap between junior and senior form curricula, our school conducts groupings for every junior form in accordance with their English standards so that they can be admitted to classes with more subjects taught in EMI or classes with more ELA. Our school also lays great emphasis on cultivating reading interests and abilities of students. In addition to various kinds of reading schemes and activities, there are regular reading lessons for F.1-F.4 students to develop their reading habits.
