Open Prayer Meeting 2019 - Album 1
After a long journey, Ying Wa has eventually embarked on a new page of its history in mid-March with the “Big Move” from the decanting site of Sham Shui Po back to our home – the Robinson Road Campus. With God’s guidance and the diligent work of the Ying Wa family, especially the Moving Back Team, lessons resumed smoothly on 25 March 2019 in the new campus. To express our gratitude to the Lord, an Open Prayer Meeting was held on 13th April 2019. Members of the Ying Wa family were invited to praise the Lord for His guidance and blessings throughout the whole redevelopment project.

Talk by Ms Kwong Ho-ka Annie
Ms Kwong Ho-ka Annie, our English and English Literature teacher, was invited to share in the morning assembly on 27 March. Ms Kwong focused on students’ learning and encouraged them to think more through reflections and questioning in order to explore the potential of the brain. She also encouraged students to step out of their comfort zone as the school always provides a safety net for them to learn through making mistakes. At the end, Ms Kwong invited two junior form students to share their learning experiences through public speaking and note-taking. In the Principal’s remarks, Mr. Kwan encouraged students to be courageous to grab every opportunity to explore their potentials and to shine.
