Prayers

Today, I would like to address an important upcoming event—Parents’ Day. This Saturday holds great significance for all students, as it provides an opportunity to sit together with your teachers and parents, reflecting upon your academic journey in the first term. It is a time to assess your progress, celebrate your achievements, and identify areas

Let’s start our morning sharing with a question. Do you know who’s the first person that received two Nobel Prizes? Here’s a hint: this person was awarded Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields. Any idea? The answer is: Marie Curie. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, along with her husband

As the interim examination has already begun, I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize the significance of integrity in the examination process.   Amidst the exam period, many of you may be solely focused on achieving satisfactory grades or feeling overwhelmed by the pressure. Understandably, integrity may not be at the forefront of

Throughout this week, we have explored the literal meaning of integrity, which is often defined in terms of honesty. Yet there is more, complete and whole. It came from two renowned ancient Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, they argued integrity involves both honesty in speech and action, a just and virtuous person possesses a well-ordered

這個月的主題是正直誠實，我想和大家分享一個關於賣牛的故事。 魏晉南北朝時期，有個名叫明山賓的讀書人。明山賓年輕時家境清寒，一次他為了三餐温飽，不得不變賣家裏的財產，可是他家裏根本沒有甚麼值錢的事物，只有父親留下的一頭牛。明山賓無奈之下，亦只好把那頭老牛牽到集市上去賣，他等了半天，好不容易才把牛賣出去。 明山賓賣完牛後，就拿着錢歡天喜地地準備回家了。突然，他看着買家牽着老牛逐漸遠去的背影，想起這頭牛從前得過蹄疾，如果勞動過累，或者所居住的牛棚過於潮濕，就很容易會舊病復發。而新主人不知道這頭牛的病歷，不正確地飼養的話，牛就可能會因生病而無法繼續勞作。各位同學，如果你是明山賓，你會怎樣做呢？你會冒着被要求退款的風險，主動跟買家說明這件事，還是會保持沉默，拿着錢離開？ 明山賓選擇成為一個正直誠實的人，他匆忙地趕回去找買家，把牛的病史和正確的飼養方法坦誠告知對方，還把部分金錢退還給買家。明山賓安排好一切後，便懷着輕鬆的心情回家了。 明山賓主動把牛的情況告訴買主，更主動退回部分金錢。雖然明山賓所獲得的金錢少了，但卻獲得心靈上的滿足和安定，因為他做了正確的事，實踐了正確的價值。在日常生活中，我們亦經常面對類似的兩難情況。在欠做功課的時候，我們是要誠實正直地主動承認錯誤，還是為了避免被老師責罰而說謊？在不會做考試題目的時候，我們是要坦誠面對自己的不足，還是作弊取得更高的分數？希望大家都可以像明山賓一樣，做正確的選擇，實踐正確的價值。   Ms Lam YC 9 January 2024

Good morning, everyone. The theme of this month is integrity. It is crucial that scientific development aligns with the best interests of humanity while upholding principles such as human rights and dignity, and all these relies on scientist’s own scientific integrity.   In 2018, a controversial event occurred that challenged the boundaries of scientific integrity.

First of all, I would like to wish all of you a happy new year, and may peace be with you all, especially our S.6 students as they begin their exams today. To start the first morning prayer of 2024, I would like to share a Bible story from the Old Testament about Joseph, and
