Retirement = Enjoy life!
Relax!
Unwind!
And make the best of every moment that lies
ahead!
Our Principal, Mrs. CHAN WOO Mei-hou Nancy,
will soon begin a new life in her retirement after
6 years of service to King’s College. The whole
school convey our best wishes to her for every
success in her future endeavors, and most
importantly, an enjoyable life.
Farewell Message from Principal Chan
At the close of my year as the Principal of King’s College, I find myself filled
with a combination of nostalgia and gratitude. The past 6 years has been
challenging and yet extremely rewarding.
Together, we celebrated the 85th and 90th Anniversaries of King’s College,
witnessed the declaration of King’s College as a declared monument and the
inauguration of King’s College Education Foundation, and pioneered the Job
Shadow Programme and the Mentorship Programme. The tremendous success of
these programmes and events would not have been possible without the continued
trust, unfailing support and enormous encouragement of our alumni.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the alumni for the
confidence that you have placed on me, and for all you have done and will
continue to do in support of our students. I am truly honoured and pleased to
have served as the Principal of King’s College. I believe my retirement does not
mark the end of my association with King’s College, but the dawning of a new
relationship and one that will last for a lifetime!
