Talk on Treasuring Life
During the afternoon assembly on Feb 28, the Guidance Committee had the pleasure of inviting Ms Choi Lok Sze Sharon (蔡樂詩) to share her life stories and the challenges she has faced due to her visual impairment. As an alumna of Ying Wa, Sharon began her story by reflecting on her childhood and the learning difficulties she encountered in kindergarten and primary school. Despite the many obstacles she faced, she persevered with unwavering confidence and a smile on her face.
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.
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.
