School Closing and Prize Presentation Ceremony 學行頒獎禮及結業禮

The school closing ceremony was held at our School Hall on the morning of 9 July, 2016 (Saturday). Rev. Gabriel Altamirano Ortega led the prayer and gave a speech to students. He shared with students ‘Story of Five Talents’ in the Bible. He pointed out that our talents, people and things around us are the gifts from God and we should cherish them and increase their values.

Then Supervisor Peter Lau, Chiu-yin used the story ‘Hawk and Chickens’ to admonish students making good use of their gifts from God. Students who do not cherish their gifts from God are like a hawk growing with chickens only admires other hawks spreading wings in the sky without knowing it also has this ability.

In his speech, Principal Stephen Li Tak-fai stressed that students still needed to try their best even though they only have one ‘Talent’. He also showed to students the ‘Route of Technological literacy’ and ‘Cloud STEAM Virtual Campus 16/17’ for future development of teaching and learning. He encouraged students to accept their own inadequacy and stretch their potential by doing more studies and joining more activities during the summer holidays.

In the prize presentation, winning students received their Certificates of Commendation from the hands of Mr. Paul Lau, Chun-tin, Chairman of Parent-Teacher Association, Supervisor, Principal, and Committee members of PTA.

Finally, Tsang Man Ki of 5D gave a speech on behalf of the students. She said that excellent results are obtained by a series of practices, cooperation, failures and more practices. Students can surely get excellent results if they do not give up or feel self-contented. They should adhere to their dreams and goals with a positive attitude.

Finally, 10 teachers received certificates from the Parent-Also-Appreciate-Teachers Drive and the School Closing Ceremony came to an end in the singing of the school song.

余振強紀念第二中學在二零一六年七月九日(星期六)早上假本校禮堂進行結業禮。是日邀得天主教露德聖母堂主任司鐸區加培神父帶領祈禱及致辭。區神父向同學分享「五個塔冷通」的故事，講解才能及一切身邊的人、事、物，都是天主賜予的禮物，應該積極地把握及珍惜，使禮物有所成長、人人盡展才能。

接著由劉超賢校監致勉語。校監以「鷹與雞的故事」向同學進一步闡釋如何珍惜天主所賜予的禮物。故事描述一隻在雞群中長大的鷹，雖仰慕天上金鷹展翅的雄姿，但總覺得自己與普通的雞隻無異，故一生與雞終老。需知每人的能力把握在自己的手上，不在「禮物的多與少」；而是「用與不用」的問題。故此，校監勸勉同學珍惜天主賜予的全部，放下負面的一切，善用暑假，積聚更多的正能量。

盡展才能的各級精英，在家長教師會主席劉振天先生、校監、校長及家教會幹士的手上，一一接過嘉許獎狀，既總結了過去的收成；亦代表著來年的播種。

李德輝校長在訓詞中重申，縱使只有「一個塔冷通」，我們也應盡全力，遇到困難，也應迎難而上，把問題解決。校長更向同學展示「科技素養路線圖：雲端STEAM虛擬校園16/17」，介紹未來學與教的發展，帶出多元的學習路徑。李校長鼓勵同學要勇敢地接受自己的不足，善用暑假，多進行學習；多參與活動，以盡展潛能。

本屆中五曾文祺同學代表學生致詞時表示，優異的成績是靠練習、合作、失敗、再練習而得來。同學只要不放棄、不驕傲、未來定能創出佳績。希望同學能以正面的態度，堅持著自己的夢想，向目標邁進。緊接著是本年度獲表揚的十位老師獲頒獎狀。最後，結業禮在一片的校歌聲中完滿結束。
