It's very encouraging to see that our school had received tremendous support soon after our advice to you of the burglary in November 2004. Up till 11th January 2005, the school had received HKD443,810- donation for the replacement of the 17 stolen projectors, of which HKD152,900- were from our alumna. We would like to express our utmost gratitude to your support of our alma mater. Please refer to the letter from Sr. Cythnia.

The new building of our school is expected to be operative this coming September, our school will continue need our support to raise sufficient fund to equip the new classrooms as part of the School Improvement Program. We would keep ou posted on the progress here; and hope to receive your continuous and generous support.

Dear Schoolmates,

You must have heard that there was burglary happened to a girl secondary school, in which 17 overhead projectors was stolen in one night. Unfortunately, it happens to our school - Holy Family Canossian College; and there was no insurance cover for the machines. Right now, our school suffers from no projector at all. Besides, we understand that one of the 2 printers has broken down. The lack of equipment not just causes inconvenience and inefficiency to the school work / schedule; but also affect the quality of teaching which our fellow schoolmates receive. To ensure our fellow schoolmates to receive quality teaching, at least comparable to other schools, the school needs at least HKD330,000 to re-install all 17 stolen projectors. Earlier on, we were all spirited with the good news of a new building to be erected. The coming of this new building (around June 2005) will inevitably cost the school a handsome amount of funds for installation of new machineries, furniture and fixtures etc. Our school needs our support very much.

Our headmistress, Sister Cynthia has drafted a letter which is attached below, which is self-explanatory and will be directly mail to you. If you see this message, but you haven't received the letter and you want to contribute to the school, you can download the attachment reply slip, fill it up and send it to the school directly.

Herewith on behalf of the school and our alumnae, we appreciate very much for your support and hope to see you again in one of our activities in the future. One of the big events coming is our AGM which will be held on
March 12 at Serenades Restaurant in Hong Kong Culture Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.

After having graduated for 27 years, it was my first time to be back in school for the Athletics Meet. I saw teenage schoolmates that reminded me when I was their age. Our school had only 10 classes in the first year. Of course, we could not have Athletics Meet so systematic as Today, November 25, 2004. I am glad that our school has progressed so much.

The schoolmates wore PE uniforms of red, blue, yellow and white. They looked so young and energetic. I saw them screaming, singing, some even cried. I recalled myself reacted just the same way as they did during the Games Day in the school playground. Those were the days now. I am sure their experience will become precious memories when they come to my age.

Anne Anita Cheung, Michelle Li, Rosita Lin, Joan Billie Chan and myself represented HFCCAA to attend the 4x100 relay. We had alumnae like Christy Law, Joyce Ko, Karina Tsang, Shirley Liu joining. We also had Form 6 students, who are AA members now, joining too. We all enjoyed very much although my team lost the match. I felt young again like our schoolmates in their teens as if I were still a HFCC student.

I am proud to know from the guest of honour that our girls play rugby very well amongst the other schools, sort of got some reputation. Our girls' athletics ability even breaks his record when he was at their age. I am proud. I am proud of being alumna of HFCC.

I had an enjoyable day - HFCC Athletics Meet 2004 and would like you to join next year.

Interview is an important stage in career and education development.  With the aim of helping students to prepare for this challenge, AA organized the Mock Interview 2004 with Careers Guidance Team on 13 November 2004.  This is the second year we held this activity; and were very excited with the active participation of both alumnae and students. There were 90 interviewees, a triple jump from last year’s 30; and 32 alumnae in the interviewer panel. Such an encouraging figure! Our fellow schoolmates expressed their thanks to the interviewers for the precious advice and experience sharing. We would like to thank all those alumnae who volunteering their time and putting lots of effort and energy in the interview to make the event a success. We would also like to thank Mrs. Amy Chow and Mrs. Jessica Wong, school Careers Guidance Team’s advisors, for their supports.  We would like to invite you to join us in the next annual Mock Interview around November / December time.  Should you like to participate or need more information, please feel free to contact us at admin@hfccaa.org.hk.
