A Memorable Visit from CCC and CWM Delegates
We had the privilege of welcoming delegates from the CCC (our School Sponsoring Body) and the Council for World Mission (CWM) to our campus on February 27, 2025.
As we guided our visitors through the grounds, we reflected on the significant contributions of our first five principals, all of whom were from the London Missionary Society (LMS). Their dedication and vision laid the foundation for what Ying Wa is today. Following the merger of LMS into CWM, their legacy of mission and education continues to inspire us.
S4 Class Assembly Series (2024-2025)
Morning assemblies organized by the S4 classes are among Ying Wa’s most cherished traditions. Their purpose is to enlighten students’ outlook on life by sharing good values and meaningful themes. This year, S4 classes had the opportunity to choose from themes centered around the 4Es – Enlighten, Empower, Embrace, and Engage – or the theme of our 125th Anniversary, “United in Faith, A Future Unleashed.” Students’ drama presentations showcased their complementing and diverse talents in language, acting, stage directing, artwork, design, prop-making, creativity, and more.

Run for Ying Wa
We are thrilled to share the success of our "Run for Ying Wa" program, where 125 enthusiastic participants—including alumnae, staff, parents, and students—came together on 24 Feb to run 5 laps at the Wan Chai Sports Ground to celebrate our school's 125th anniversary!
Despite the chilly weather, the energy and spirit of our runners and cheering teams warmed our hearts! Together, we rallied over HK$1.43 million to support the development of our school.
This event was truly memorable. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported us!

Parents' Day 2025
Our Parents' Day, held on February 22, successfully fostered connections between parents and teachers, allowing them to experience their daughters' school life firsthand. This event provided a meaningful platform for discussions about students’ academic progress and overall development.
The day featured impressive displays of students' work. In the Needlework Room, parents admired handmade teddy bears, garments, and exquisite embroidered pieces. Meanwhile, the Art Room showcased creative pieces that highlighted the talent and dedication of our students.
To promote a stronger reading culture, a book fair was held in the covered playground, attracting many parents and students.
History Talk by Dr Kwong Chi Man 2025
The History Department was honoured to invite prominent historian Dr Kwong Chi Man (鄺智文) to present a history topic on “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Lives in Japanese Hong Kong, 1942-1945,” during the OLE on February 21, 2025. Rather than reiterating familiar historical narratives, Dr Kwong utilized the stories of various individuals – including a marine fish expert, military officers, a Catholic military commander, and a prison camp commandant – to illustrate the complexities of human nature during wartime. We are grateful that Dr Kwong’s presentation broadened our understanding of how events can be viewed from multiple perspectives.
Global Week 2025
Global Week, co-organized by the Global Exposure Committee and Inter Cultural Education (ICE), took place from February 17 to 21, infusing our campus with vibrant cultural energy.
Global Dialogues & Workshops:
ICE representatives from various countries visited S1-S3 classes to discuss topics such as “Food Festivals”, “Rites of Passage”, and “Global Cultures”. Meanwhile, S4 students participated in various cultural workshops, including K-pop Dance, Singlish, Traditional Korean Folk Art, and Bojagi. These sessions provided students with a unique opportunity to learn from the first-hand experiences of our guests.

Morning Assembly Conducted by Learning Ambassadors
15 Learning Ambassadors (LA) delivered a talk on the topic of “Learning how to Learn” in the morning assembly on February 19. Thanks to the guidance of the teacher advisors, the ambassadors adopted a structural approach to introducing different types of learning skills, including regular note-taking, motivating oneself and prioritizing tasks etc. In the talk, not only did the LAs present the topic with confidence, but they also shared their own learning experiences across different subjects which helped their schoolmates understand the learning theories behind in order to make appropriate plans for their own learning.
