About WYK
The Cradle movement has approached its concluding stage as the first batch of 97 Chinese ink paintings became the collection of the Hong Kong Museum of Education – under the auspices of The Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd), following a Donation Ceremony held at the WYK Art Room on December 10, 2012.
Officiating at the ceremony were Dr John Tan, WYK Principal; Professor Richard Tsang, Department of Cultural and Creative Arts, HKIEd (also a WYK alumnus); Dr Sydney Cheng, Librarian at HKIEd; Ms Selina Ho, Curator of the Hong Kong Museum of Education; and Eddie Yim, Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Chinese Ink Painting Exhibition 2006.
Mr. Laurence Tam writes on his work since his return to Hong Kong and the message of “not to stay up too late” to retirees. The significance of his advice is explained in a letter to Mr. Anthony Ho who visited him recently. Please click the image to read the letter.
The Cheetahs made a donation to school in memory of Fr John Moran, S.J. (1905-91) who gave them the name because they were fast in their soccer games. The plaque in the Teachers’ Common Room was unveiled on Friday, November 16, 2012. The ceremony took place before the historical Speech Day when the cohort class of the last Form 7 and the first Form 6 had their happy day.
The Honourable Philip Lee, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, Canada, was the Guest of Honour. Philip Lee, Class 60 and a Cheetah, advised the graduates to master their language skills to be ready for their future career goals. To make his point, he punctuated his speech with “Go Ahead” and “The Chinese Guy Did All The Talking”.

On November 22, 2012, a concert took place at the Students’ Activity Centre in Wah Yan Kowloon at 1:00 p.m. The Centre, with 100 seats, was filled to capacity on
that occasion. The performers featured were a violinist, Dr. Chun Chim (David) Leung, Associate Professor of Violin at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and Music Department Director of Saint Mary’s Chamber Orchestra, and a pianist, Dr. Ned Kirk, who performed and held master classes in many parts of the world, now serving as Artistic and Managing Director of the Minnesota Beethoven Festival.
The concert was also the occasion on which some alumni of the Class of ’61, members of the self-formed Classical Music Lovers Association from 1957 to about 1966, presented a cheque of HK$ 52,000 to the school to set up a CLA Fund for three years dedicated to the purpose of further promoting classical music in the school.

2011年魏志立神父( Fr Naylor, S.J. )八十榮壽之際，一群華仁兒童會舊導師基於對神父由衷的敬重，以及昔日美好的緬懷，產生了出版此書的構想。
經過來自不同世代的舊導師整整一年的努力，訪談、撰稿、徵稿、以及整理失落多年的資料，此書終於面世。我們謹以此書獻給付出無私大愛的魏志立神父，感謝他大半生貢獻予香港教育和保護幼小的工作。令我們感動的是他永遠躲在大光燈後，默默耕耘，不領功，不自誇，在過去的半世紀一直堅守信念，讓年青一代擁有自由空間，獨立思維，在自我批判與修正的循環中成長。
當然，此書也獻給在華仁兒童會三十年歲月中曾參與服務的三百多位導師，藉此大家可以把失落多年的回憶碎片，好好拼整起來，描繪出昔日的青春。
