The Jockey Club’s “Project Silver” – Intergenerational Arts Exhibition
Ten S4 art students participated in the Artist-in-residence Project led by Ms Marka Mak from September to November 2020. Under the Jockey Club’s Project Silver – Intergenerational Arts Project (Portrait Painting Workshop for the Respectable Senior), the project aims at promoting age inclusivity and creative aging through art. Students got to express their care and love for their grandparents and respectable seniors through portrait paintings. Not only did students interview their senior partners to gather more information for the paintings, but they also guided senior participants to paint. All portraits were on display from November 21 to 30, 2020 at Cityplaza.

Not only did students pick up skills in bamboo design and grinding, but they also had the chance to share their love of reading.
Release of Album Entitled “Space for Transformation – The Redevelopment Years”
Dear alumnae and friends of Ying Wa,
The school redevelopment has travelled a decade-long journey, full of twists and turns, ups and downs. But all the challenges were worth it. The magnitude of the project was unprecedented, so were the infinite opportunities and hopes brought to us. In them, I see God’s blessings. Miracles seemed to always appear at the right time when we needed them most.
