The windows of the Fathers’ Quarters located at 3/F of the Main Building of WYK are 60 years old, most of which are now rusting. Recently, three window glasses fell down onto the carpark. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
The school is not authorized to use any government funding to repair such windows since the Fathers’ Quarters are not treated as part of the school premises. The Fathers’ Community will be held liable if any injuries or damages are caused. In light of the aforesaid, the school urgently need to replace 20 sets of windows at the Fathers’ Quarters at the total cost of HK$90,000.
As initiated by Mr. Stanislaus Keung, all alumni are encouraged to show their support towards the repair works by making donations at any amount. If you are pleased to donate for the repair works, please send a crossed cheque payable to
“Bellarmine A/C” to:

Following the welcome dinner on Sunday (July 29), the student ambassadors from WYHK (Vincent Shum) and from WYK (Wilson Fung) had been busy with a week-long program in Toronto, Ottawa and the Niagara regions. While touring the Ontario famous landscapes, they also had an opportunity to meet with two professors (Raymond Kwong ’66 and Raymond Kan ’78) at University of Toronto and gained some first-hand knowledge about education in North America. They also learned a few challenges that the Chinese seniors are facing in Canada and the needs for the existence of organizations like Mon Sheong.
