The World Cup had just finished and many people are still very excited about it. Mr. Kwan talked about the story of how Lionel Messi is changing the life of the little boy, Tommy on Tuesday. Today, I would also like to share the story of another great soccer player, Pele. Pele was born in

Good morning. The theme of this month is “Love endures all things”. However, I believe that “Love” is more powerful, it does not endure all things, it can change anything. The theme song of a musical “Aspects of Love” comes to my mind. Let me share with you. ~ Love Changes Everything ~ The name

臨近聖誕，不少人也會草擬一張購物清單，方便購買禮物送贈親友，獎勵自己。我也想請大家在心中草擬一張清單，列出你人生中最渴望得到的東西，同學一邊想的時候，就讓我先分享一個故事—— 有一天，一個善良的農夫去耕種，他將一塊麵包放在旁邊，打算休息時吃。辛勞了半日，農夫餓了，卻發現麵包不見了。原來，一隻小魔鬼偷走了麵包，並且躲在旁邊等農夫罵人，誰知農夫卻說：「算吧，我不會因此餓死。拿麵包的人，應該比我更需要吃。」 沒令窮農夫變壞，小魔鬼非常失望，於是他變身成農夫的工人；由於小魔鬼能預知何時會有飢荒，之後幾年，小魔鬼一直指點農夫要在哪些地區耕種，所以，當其他農夫都因天災而失收的時候，農夫的收成一直也很好，而且愈來愈富有。 一天，小魔鬼帶大魔鬼到農夫家中去。農夫正在宴客，他的妻子不小心把酒打瀉了，農夫很憤怒，立時大發脾氣。然後，農夫與一班客人對飲，喝下幾杯，他們開始爭執、對罵，甚至打鬥起來。 大魔鬼很高興，問：「你是怎樣令農夫變質的？」小魔鬼說：「我只是讓他擁有比自身需要更多的東西而已。一開始，他不介意失去唯一的麵包；但當他擁有比自身需要更多時，他就會沉溺於享樂和貪念中。」 原來，擁有比自身需要更多的東西，會令我們離善更遠，心胸更狹窄，亦更不快樂。農夫的經歷，會否也是你與我的寫照？ 剛才請同學草擬的清單，是我中學時，一位老師佈置的堂課。我記得，多數人渴望得到的，也是遊戲機、電話、金錢之類；但其中一位同學的答案，卻令人意外，他在清單上只寫上一個字——主。他說，只要有天主，他真正需要的將不再欠缺。 我們未必全都有宗教信仰，但這位同學的答案提醒了我們，原來人生中的需要可以如此純粹。在消費至上的社會，大量廣告經常慫恿我們去買最新、最名貴的東西，似乎這樣就會快樂，但若非真正需要，我們就不會真正滿足，很快又會感到空虛。當有一日走到生命盡頭，又有幾多人會發現，原來我們最眷戀的，無非是早已在身邊默默愛護我們的親朋摯友？所以，聖誕節，最重要的，不是聖誕樹下有多少禮物，而是有多少愛護你的人，願意為你裝扮成那棵聖誕樹。同樣，親友最渴望從你手中接過的，亦不是那些價值有限的禮物，而只是你的關注和陪伴。 生命中的誘惑太多，人很容易於繁雜的慾望中迷失。希望同學能返璞歸真，重新發現自己真正在乎、渴望的東西，或者，我們也能從疏淡、簡樸的生活中，拾獲真正的滿足與快樂，同時學會分享天主賜給我們最珍貴的禮物——愛。 Ms. Yeung NS20 December 2022

Nowadays, STEM education is becoming more and more important. Our school has also continuously increased STEM teaching equipment in the past few years in order to improve students’ programming knowledge, problem solving skills and collaborative skills. In addition to allowing students to cooperate with each other and self-reflect in classrooms or activities, we also hope

Living in this society with fierce competition and rapid social changes, everyone hopes to have good ideas to broaden their prospects, develop their careers and strive for happiness. This is an era that values creativity, but also an era of pursuit and competition. Everyone is scrambling to chase, intrigues, and complicated hearts, but suppresses the

Today we would like share with you about simplicity and sharing. Do you know how to make a scented candle ? When making a scented candle, essential oil is a must to be added as it brings out all the smell of the candle during burning. However, have you ever wondered what is the suitable

The Bible tells us that we should live simply, that true abundance is internal and not external, and that we should seek godliness rather than material prosperity in their lives. Paul has said to Timothy, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out

As the theme for this month is Simplicity and Sharing, I am going to tell you a little story about sharing simplicity – about the exchange of a glance between two strangers – between me and a little girl. I am on the LRT Route 751 commuting to school. People are sandwiched in the compartments

校長、各位老師、同學： 早晨！昨日陳老師分享了很多關於簡樸的道理，或者今日我談少少關於分享的體會。不知大家有沒有聽過平日用來盛載沖好了的咖啡的壺有何名稱？它其中一個名字就是「分享壺」。確實人生中沒有誰能每次沖咖啡都馥郁甘甜，但透過分享，苦味能減半，甜味亦能倍增。人生亦如是。 可能有些同學知道，我非常敬佩一位歷史學家名為陳寅恪，他的一生經歷中國最動盪的時期，晚年更受到不少迫害與苦難。他的子女曾為父親寫了一本回憶錄，有意思的是書中不是寫父親有多高的學術成就、多強的外語能力、影響了多少代研究中國的學者，反而全書聚焦的是家庭，家人如何與他在大時代甘苦與共，就如該書名所寫《也同歡樂也同愁》。生命因有人一起分擔，苦痛也能減半，喜樂亦能倍增。 正如三位一體的天主，從創始到成終都是一起同工、同在，彼此在救贖的計劃中分擔、分享。但願崇德亦能成為大家分享生命，共同成長的地方。 Mr Yim TL9 December 2022

I would like to talk about a word, “found”, with all of you. If we look at the dictionary, we will know that there are two meanings for this word. It could mean to bring something into existence or to establish something, and of course this word is also the past tense of “find”, which
