St. Francis’ Canossian School (SFCS) Open Day
When we think of our primary school, what is the first thing come out from your
mind? We may think of those angels outside of the wall, or the cover
playground where you had lots of precious moments shared with friends. With
5 years of replacement plan, we are thankful that the first and second phrases
of SFCS new school site were successfully completed. Our PSA committee
members Diana Yip and Nicole Chan were delighted to join the Open Day of
the new school site.
The open day lasted for 2 days (on May 7 th-8th, 2011). We attended a cocktail
reception followed by an opening ceremony in school hall on the first day. The
ceremony began with a beautiful music performed by the SFCS students. We
are honored to have Sr Chan Sum Yee Cynthia and Mr. Michael Suen G.B.S.,
J.P. to give us speech, and the Most Rev. John Tong Hon to give us word of
blessings.
Another highlight of the ceremony: a drama <天使學堂> involving hundreds of
teachers, past students and existing students was put on stage that afternoon.
The story was about how each Franciscans could act like angels and should
make use of our gifted talents and knowledge we learnt from school to make
our world better. It was a splendid performance with nice songs and group
dances.
Having a tour in the new school, we were amazed by the well-equipped new
facilities and we recalled our old times. We even met some sisters, teachers,
school bus driver and helpers we knew when we were small! Faces do not
change at all!
