Visit to HKSAR Legislative Council
The History Department took 29 S4 History students to visit the Legislative Council (LegCo) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on 22nd Dec. A guided tour was offered by the LegCo. Students visited the Public Gallery of the Chamber, viewing Gallery and Access Corridor and Memory Lane, etc. In the end, students participated in a simulation game to understand the process of the legislation procedure and the history of the LegCo from the British colonial period up to the present-day. It was indeed a rewarding experience for all.
Christmas Service and Variety Show 2018
The speaker at our Christmas Service was our beloved former Principal, Mrs. Ruth Lee. She shared with us different signs in the Bible and in our daily lives which often convey a variety of meanings. Despite being born in humble conditions in Bethlehem, Jesus Christ has always been revered for his love and willingness to serve. We must treasure His love and uphold His spirits.
In her speech, Mrs. Lee talked about the history of Ying Wa, from our humble beginnings and the unpredictable perils of the Japanese Occupation to our most recent development. Our forefounders’ modest and positive attitudes helped them brave challenges during the journey to developing girls’ education.
Christmas Greetings from the Principal (2018)
Dear parents, alumnae and friends of Ying Wa,
Rejoice! Rejoice! Christmas is a time to love; it is a time to celebrate the good news of the birth of Jesus, who was God in flesh, coming to forgive our sins and give us eternal life. We hope our annual Christmas letter finds you well and we have some good news about our School Redevelopment Project to share with you. (Read more)

Adoption of New Winter Coats (Long & Short)
After various rounds of consultations with teachers, parents and students, a set of two newly designed winter coats (long and short) has been adopted and released recently for better protection from the cold. The design of the winter coats is a combination of lightweight materials, water resistant and multiple layers to protect and insulate against low temperatures. Meanwhile, Ying Wa heritage is also an important element for the design of the coats. The zipper puller is the shape of the coloured school badge of the traditional Ying Wa school coat. The responses from students are positive and many students reflected that the coats are more portable and functional. The slide fastener is also a good icon of the Ying Wa family.
