[Harvey] Good morning, everyone. As the Prefect Team, one of our key responsibilities is to serve and support all of you, our fellow Shungtakians. But have you ever thought about what responsibility truly means? How do you feel when you’re given a task to complete or a role to fulfill? Responsibility can feel overwhelming at […]

In the biblical story of David and Goliath, David, a young shepherd, volunteers to fight the Philistine giant Goliath, who had been terrorising the Israelites on the battlefield. Armed only with a sling and five stones, David demonstrates his faith and courage. He takes one of the stones, places it in his sling, twirls it

I am not sure how many of you remember what I shared with you last time. The sharing was at the beginning of September and was about reacting positively when facing challenges, so that we can learn from failure and improve ourselves to become a better version. It’s now the beginning of Term 2. Have

The theme for this month is ‘Fulfill responsibilities, strive for self-improvement’. I am sure we hear these words on a daily basis: Be responsible, if you are not, then you cannot improve. Yet, there seems to be so many responsibilities as we wear many hats in our lives, so it is not always that easy

Christy: Hey, Harvey, why do you look so happy. What’s going on? Did you finally finish your Christmas shopping? Harvey: Nope, not even close. But I am feeling joyful because it’s Gaudete Sunday yesterday —also known as the Sunday of Joy! Christy: Oh, that makes sense! The Third Sunday of Advent is all about joy.

Good morning. Yesterday we celebrated Founders Day and you heard the sharing from Ms Amy Yeung, a graduate of Shung Tak in 1974. Amy today is very active in our school, coming back not just for the sharing yesterday but she also helps with the calligraphy interest classes. Amy is a beautiful example of what

Good morning, we are the representatives of the History Club. The theme for this month is “Caring campus, harmonious society”. Today, let’s focus on the idea of a harmonious society. In a harmonious society, people live with affection, gratitude and respect for one another, and solve the dissensions in a peaceful way rather than through

Good morning everyone. In every November, the Caritas holds charity bazaars on Sundays in different districts to raise money for the needy. We had some teachers and students participated in this event yesterday. It is really appreciated that so many of you chose to spend your Sunday on social service. It was hot and a

Good morning, we are Campus TV.  Sometimes it feels like a challenge to protect the world. With the damage we have caused, it seems like the work that we need to do would never end. Some may say it is impossible to make a big change to our environment, but we have to try to

早晨。生態保育可說是今日社會經常談論的課題，而早在幾百年前，天主教會亦已有一位聖人——聖方濟‧亞西西（St. Francis of Assisi），他於1979年獲時任教宗若望保祿二世奉為「生態主保」，恰巧今天正是他的紀念日，讓我們了解一下他對大自然的看法。 聖方濟一生愛主愛人，過著神貧的生活，而他對大自然的熱愛更為天主教生態觀提供了很多的啟發。一首〈萬物讚頌歌〉正反映出他對大自然的喜愛之情。聖方濟視大自然為弟兄姊妹，是一家人，彼此都是天主所創造的，都是天主所喜愛的。在作品中，他稱自然萬物為兄弟姊妹，從日、月、星辰，風、水、火、土，花、草、樹、木，到海裡的魚、天空的鳥、地上的走獸、地下的生物，只要是天主創造的，都視他們為姊妹弟兄，更邀請他們一起讚美天主，他認為萬物眾生，包括我們人類，都是平等的，都是一家人，這種想法可以令人對大自然多添一份愛，學會尊重和欣賞它。 反觀今天，我們又如何對待大自然呢？過渡消費、浪費資源等成為了我們恆常的習慣，而世界亦出現了溫室效應、厄爾尼諾等現象。但其實環境被破壞，受苦的到頭來亦都是我們人類。因此，正如昨天同學的分享中也提及，要好好保護環境，「再用、再造、再節約」3R必不可少。 最後，但願我們可以效法聖人，當好地球的管家，尊重和愛護大自然，學習與它共處，返璞歸真，使地球重新成為一個宜居的安身之所。   Ms. WY Lam
