The three
judges, Ms Teresa Tang, Ms Nancy Cheu and Ms
Joan Chan, faced a dilemma in deciding the winner
of the All Rounder Award this year. It was
happily resolved by awarding the title to the two equally worthy
students, Viola Cheung (S7) and Emma Lau (S5).
Viola believed
that she had nothing gifted but her
determination and hardworking. Talented in music and devoted in
participating extracurricular activities like the Hong Kong Union for
Young Leaders, Viola displayed active
interest and eagerness in the way to self-discovery and
self-fulfillment. She emphasized the
importance of hardship in actualizing any goals. For instance, knowing
about her weakness in Chinese, she began writing blogs and reading
Chinese classics. She eventually earned the highest grade in the
public exam. Such consciousness of her own potential and capability
led Viola into realizing her dream to be an engineer and researcher of
communication technology.
With the first public exam
ahead of her, Emma confidently presented
herself as an admirable candidate with positive attitude and
well-balanced life. She excelled in studies
while shouldering different school responsibilities like discipline
prefect and drama club chairlady, a sign of her leadership and
effective time management. She also participated
in a wide range of activities including scout, sport, choral speaking,
competitions and voluntary services frequently. All these activities did
not only reward her with medals and prizes like the best ten teenage
models in Hong Kong, but also passion and courage to explore every
opportunity to help people and enjoy life.
We wholeheartedly congratulate Viola and Emma and
hope that they can fulfill their life goals with same enthusiasm.
Also, thank you for the three alumnae who spared their time giving
advice to the applicants. We wish to see more and more competent
schoolmates applying for the award as a test of their life vision and
ability.
