Easter Service 2017
Not only is God bringing His blessings to Ying Wa, but He is also doing great things for mankind. On 6 April, students took part in the traditional Famine Lunch programme at school to raise funds for the needy and share the experience of facing hunger and starvation. On 7 April, both junior and senior form students gathered at School Hall to attend the Easter Service in two different sessions (morning and afternoon). Reverend Kan Kei-piu Paul was invited to share on the theme of "Renewal and Transformation". Jesus overcame great suffering and death for our salvation, and this offers us the opportunity to transform our lives by following Him and bringing the glory of the resurrection into everyday life.

Friendly Volleyball Match
Two teams of teachers faced off in a spirited game of volleyball in front of an exuberant audience on 30 March. The game was held by the Sports Committee of the Student Association (Orenda). Powerful strikes and clever defence evoked enthusiastic applause from the crowd as students had the rare opportunity to see the athletic side of their teachers. The teams went into deuce in the first set of the game and ended it with a very small score difference. The short but exciting sporting endeavour created lasting memories for our teachers and students.
English Drama Fest 2017
A touch of Shakespearean magic descended on our school hall at lunchtime on Wednesday when our drama troupe that recently won the Best Directing Award at the English Drama Fest 2017 put on an extra performance for their schoolmates to help raise funds for the School Redevelopment Project too.
Budding actresses in Secondary One had fun sprinkling fairy dust on unsuspecting lovers – Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena – in A Midsummer Night's Dream, as their seniors took on the roles of imperious Oberon and the confused couples. Their comic acting delighted the audience.
Ying Wa Good Show 2017
Cultivating students' passion for the performing arts has been a long tradition in Ying Wa; different platforms were developed through the years for them to explore their potential in artistic expression.
One of these opportunities is the Ying Wa Good Show. This school year two sessions were held in October (music) and March (dance). Thanks to the Music Department, Dance Team and the Students' Self-access Learning Centre, both occasions were a hit, with many teachers and students staying in school during lunchtime to give full support to the talented, entertaining and graceful performers.
