Welcome to WYKAAO
The Wah Yan spirit has prevailed and triumphed! The Holy Grail turned out to be Masters 2 Open Standard.
Yes, this is the century for the Chinese and Chinese supremacy reigned tonight with the announcement of a new Masters 2 Open Standard champion couple in 2012, Philip and Magdalen Lee!
The rounds started 10:30 AM with 64 couples from all over Australia and New Zealand competing in this event and the Final was danced at 8:30 PM. It was a tiring day. So when our names were announced as the winning couple, we were over-the-moon to hear that it was us! Even now at 12:30 AM past midnight we relished in this great success and still find it totally unbelievable that we are now the new champions in the international standard style. We are now written into the history book of Australian Dancesport, the first ever Chinese couple to have won Masters 2 Open Standard.

龍門擺陣未爭先 美酒茅台舊夢牽 海外香江欣聚首 同窗明日夕陽邊

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.
