Christmas Caroling of YW Choir
For more than a decade, our choir has been caroling at the Island Shangri-La and Harbour Grand Hotel on Christmas’ Eve and Christmas Day. Among their repertoire are seasonal favourites, like “Christmas is a time to love”, “Angels’ Carol”, “O Holy Night”. Hotel guests from far and near as well as faithful supporters stopped to enjoy the angelic voices of our girls which never fail to put a warm glow in many a heart in winter.

Talk by Mr Kevin Lau Chun-to
On 11 December 2015, Civic Education Committee invited Mr Kevin Lau Chun-to to deliver a talk examining the importance of upholding freedom of the press in Hong Kong. Mr Lau encouraged students to read news from different perspectives, irrespective of the political stances of different media channels. After the talk, about 20 senior form students stayed behind to further engage in an in-depth discussion with Mr Lau. It is most beneficial for students who wish to study journalism in the future.
