As one of the milestones of the 25 ^th Anniversary celebration of the school, we were honoured to receive Most Rev. Cardinal Stephen Chow, the bishop of Hong Kong, to celebrate the Holy Mass and to dedicate the new altar of our school chapel. All the Catholic students of the school participated in the liturgy, and several students also served as altar servers, cantors and lectors.

In the homily, the Cardinal especially reminded the congregation about the meaning of the dedication of a new altar, connecting his message to “Pilgrims of Hope”, the theme of this Jubilee Year 2025. The dedication is also a message of hope, because the altar is where we place our Christian lives, united to the sacrifice of Christ in the Eucharist, so that our lives may become a loving response to the Love of God. The fragrance of the chrism oil and the incense on the altar are signs of the sanctifying power of God who has chosen us so that we will spread the fragrance of Christ with our lives to the whole world by becoming an acceptable offering to God. This begins – he reminded us – with our ordinary duties of each day.

In the rite of dedication of the new altar, our students also took the lead to sing the litany of the saints, asking the saints to support our prayers so that our hearts may be faithful temples of the Holy Spirit.

With the presence of three chaplains of the school, Fr. Paul, Fr. Ronald and Fr. Billy, we were pleased to have several priests joining us at the celebration and stayed with us after Mass to enjoy a short get-together with the Cardinal. The guest priests include Rev. Xavier Wong, the Chairperson of the Diocesan Liturgy Commission, our priest friends from the neighbouring St. Francis Parish in Ma On Shan, Rev. Jomon Varghese P.I.M.E. and Rev. Joachim Pham Thanh Diep, as well as Rev. Tito Lopez Martin, M.G., the Chair of the Diocesan Youth Commission.

Together with the new altar, the newly renovated chapel also features a new tabernacle and two new oil paintings on canvas of the Holy Family and of St. Josemaria with our students, which serve to provide a more prayerful and dignified setting for the celebration of the Eucharist and for personal prayer and devotions.

The final rounds of the 2024-25 Handball Jing Ying Competition were played at the new Kai Tak Sports Park (啟德體藝館習藝坊) against DBS in the semi-final where Tak Sun lost narrowly in extra time after dominating DBS during the entire match. However, DBS showed their strong spirit and persevered until the end. In compensation, the Tak Sun team beat Sing Yin Secondary School by a wide margin and won 2 ^nd Runner-up medals.

The Tak Sun choir joined the HKICF Boys Choir Competition held in Tsuen Wan Town Hall today.

Competing schools were: Queens College (皇仁書院) St Louis School (聖類斯中學) La Salle College (喇沙書院) SKH Lam Kow Mow Secondary School (聖公會林裘謀中學)
HKBU Affiliated Wong Kam Fai Secondary School (香港浸會大學附屬學校王錦輝中小學) as well as Tak Sun Secondary School which with 58 students, was the biggest choir.

All choirs sang the same set piece - “Ubi Caritas” followed by a song of their own choice which for Tak Sun was “Star of Wonder”. Some schools sang religious themed music
such as “Sanctus” (La Salle College) or “Kyrie Eleison”(Wong Kam Fai). These songs, in Greek or Latin are very challenging for local school choirs to sing.

The finalists from today’s competition are HKBU Wong Kam Fai Affiliated Secondary School and SKH and Lam Kow Mow Secondary School. Queen’s College Boys Choir
came in 3 ^rd place. The Tak Sun Boys Choir scored 85% which was a good score and received valuable tips and advice from the competition judges. The judges praised the hard
work and training of all six choirs.

Overall results are as follows:

The final HKICF event was held on 3 March in Hong Kong City Hall it was a mixed choir event with our partner girls school Our Lady’s College. Five schools competed in our
group: SKH Lam Kow Mow Secondary School (聖公會林裘謀中學) HKBU Affiliated Wong Kam Fai Secondary School (香港浸會大學附屬學校王錦輝中小學) St Francis

Throughout the events, English, Cantonese and Mandarin announcements kept our athletes informed about the scheduled events and their report locations. The credit goes to our student announcers. A team of talented students provided vigorous live commentary in some of the events, adding energy and excitement to the proceedings.

The competition was fierce. CHONG Ka Yin from 1M Piccard emerged as the overall individual champion. Piccard House also claimed victory as the overall champion after two days of packed-action events.

One of the most memorable moments came during the relay, when the baton was passed from Mr. Ben Wong, Mr. Felix Yau, Mr. Jason Ip … all the way to the 18th alumnus teacher, Mr. Joe Tang, everyone on the spectator stand was cheering enthusiastically. In the words of Principal Law in his closing speech, “…this symbolizes the unity, brotherhood and enduring legacy of our Tak Sun team spirit.”

Their results are a reward for the thousands of hours of hard work that Mickey and Moses have dedicated to practicing their skills to compete at both local and international level.

Tak Sun students (1W王俊龍) Wong Chun Long and (3J蔡卓希) Cai Zhuo Xi participated in the Zhong Shan City U14 fencing competition. According to the China National Fencing Association, this is ranked as a D-level competition.

Both students competed in the épée (重劍)event. In fencing, épée uses the heaviest sword and épée is the only event in which the target is the opponent’s whole body. Therefore, it requires special concentration, accuracy, and speed. As his whole body is a target, the successful épée fencer must anticipate the moves of his opponent and make sure to hit at the correct time.

The result was that Wong Chun Long was ranked Champion and Cai Zhuo Xi came 2 ^nd Runner-up. Congratulations to them both. This year, they have practiced and competed in many competitions where they have both excelled.

The College of International Education (CIE), Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) recently hosted its seventh annual English Public
Speaking Contest on 24 May 2024, showcasing the talent and eloquence of participants from Hong Kong local secondary schools.

The Grand Final of the contest featured a diverse group of 12 speakers, selected from a pool of 162 participants representing 65 secondary
schools, as they competed for six awards: Champion, 1st Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up, two Merits, and an Audience Award for Best Speaker.
After delivering powerful and engaging performances, Ms. Sutradhar Tapasa from Ho Lap College (sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen), emerged as
the deserving recipient of the coveted Champion Award.

The aim of the CIE English Public Speaking Contest is to enhance students’ public speaking techniques and proficiency in English
communication.

The Grand Final panel of judges included:

- Dr. Benjamin Moorhouse, Assistant Professor Department of Education Studies HKBU

- Ms. Allison Leger, Lecturer of Complementary Studies Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts

- Dr. Theresa Cunanan, Associate Programme Director, Division & Arts and Languages, HKBU CIE.

Finalists were tasked with delivering a 3-minute speech on the topic of “Vision”, followed by a 2-minute impromptu speech in response to a
random question. Contestants covered a wide range of topics in their speeches, such as dreams, personal growth, and societal issues. They
also exhibited strong impromptu speaking skills, revealing their agility of thought, spontaneity, and genuine feelings.

While complimenting the excellent performances of the contestants, Dr. Moorhouse highlighted the value of public speaking for the students in
the long run, as he considers it an essential skill that they need to acquire for their future developments.

Ms. Leger enlightened the audience with three helpful tips that will bring an individual’s public speaking to another level, which include: telling
stories or examples, being natural, and giving vivid descriptions. Dr. Theresa Cunanan reminded the audience the three Ps’ of public speaking:
Pitch, Pacing, and Pauses. In the age of AI, she believes it is more important than ever that we uphold the human touch when presenters speak
publicly. The non-verbal communication skills, the ability to compose oneself on stage, and the power to make silence speaks to take the
moment are the vital tools.

The Champion, Ms. Sutradhar Tapasa, acknowledged the challenging nature of the competition but appreciated the opportunity to engage with
fellow contestants.

TThe first runner-up and winner of the Audience Award for Best Speaker, Ms. Leung Sum Ying, emphasized the importance of preparation,
including listening to Ted Talks for inspiration and building confidence by visualising herself presenting to an audience.

Ms. Tapasa and Ms. Leung both expressed their gratitude to their school and families for their unwavering support. Last but not least, they
shared valuable advice for aspiring participants, which is to embrace the journey of speech and seek to learn from each experience, and
consider the perspective of the audience by using imagination.

Tak Sun participated in the elite competition for the first time last school year and reached the final 8. This school year the team successfully "continued history" and reached the top 8 of the elite competition again. Captain Au Siu-fung (Anderson) looks forward to the team showing off its skills in the Panasonic Basketball Game again:

"This event is staged in Southorn Playground (Wanchai), and the attention is higher than the Classic. Every Hong Kong basketball player will want to play in Southorn. The atmosphere here makes. We are more committed and focused, and our goal is to play every game well and be worthy of ourselves!”

Coached by A-1 Grand Slam stars Choi-Sir (蔡再懃) and Wu-Sir (吳松峻) Tak Sun has become a regular in the competition in recent years. This year, it was invited to participate in the Panasonic Basketball Game. Captain Anderson Au said the team's mentality has greatly improved under the leadership of the two coaches:

"I used to feel the strongest star only needs to step forward, no other teammates are needed. Now I understand that basketball is a team sport and everyone must be united to play well.

Wu Sir pays great attention to discipline. No matter how good his skills are, he cannot fall behind if he has a bad attitude. As the captain, you have even greater responsibilities and you must have the attitude that a basketball player should have.”

The Tak Sun team members wrote "Learn to Unite" in the goal column of the field book. Anderson said, “We at Tak Sun will rise and fall together. If something happens, we will work together. If we achieve something, we will enjoy it together!"

The U15 football team joined the HKSSF competition and went through to the semifinals where they lost to Kok Tak Sing secondary school. In the match for 3 ^rd place they beat Chan Kai to finish 2 ^nd runner-up.

Henry Chau Chin Heng, a 2010 graduate of this school was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Hong Kong on 16 ^th September at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Caine Road. Our principal Mr. Dennis Law and other friends and supporters joined the joyful ceremony. As our first graduate priest, Fr Henry can count of the prayers and best wishes of the whole school past and present. The following information is taken from the Sunday Examiner newspaper:

Chau Chin Heng was born in Hong Kong in 1991 and grew up in a non-Catholic family. In 2009, when he was studying at Tak Sun Secondary School, he was baptized in the Holy Family Chapel of Tak Sun Primary School. After graduating from high school, he studied philosophy and politics at the University of Edinburgh in the UK.

When he was still in college, he returned to Hong Kong during the summer vacation and met the Little Sisters of the Poor who were raising funds in his parish, so he began to work as a volunteer at St. Joseph's Home for the Elderly. He said that through the dedicated service of the Little Sisters of the Poor, he was exposed to the community life of monks for the first time. "I saw the presence of Jesus in the nuns serving the elderly."

He joined Holy Spirit Seminary as a diocesan seminarian in August 2015 and in same year obtained a master's degree from the School of Journalism and Communication at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Chau Chin Heng has served in St. Benedict's Church, Rosary Church, St. Mary’s Home for the Aged, Sham Shui Po House of Charity, and the Prison Evangelization Organization of the Laity. He also served in St. Thomas the Apostle Church (Tsing Yi) in September and December 2022 where he received ordination as a deacon.

Congratulations to the following four students who successfully transferred to the University of Hong Kong and the City University of Hong Kong after finishing their studies at HKU Space.

These four students have a bright future ahead of them and a strong foundation from the secondary school education they received during the six years they spent in Tak Sun. This has helped them find the motivation and perseverance to achieve their goal.

The C-Grade Handball team won their last game in a very tight match against a very strong team: against Lam Kau Mow Secondary School. After being down 0:4 in the first 5 minutes, the Tak Sun team rallied to reach 13:13 at the end of full time. Tak Sun then won 4:0 on penalties in extra time. This result ensured that the Tak Sun handball teams were overall HKSSF (NT East) champions 2022-23.

Handball is a new sport for the C-grade students as they mostly have not played it before in primary school. Helped by the coaching of Mr. Sabi and the alumni teaching assistants Brian Lam, Martin Tong and Richard Ng under the leadership of Mr. Steve Law from the P.E. Department, the C-grade boys have taken enthusiastically to handball and dedicated many hours to training.

Form 5W student Yau Ching Hin won the Outstanding Cadet award of the Civil Aid Service Cadet Corps. The award presentation ceremony
for the above awards was held on 6 May 2023 at the Civil Aid Service Headquarters.

Outstanding cadets are nominated by the group leaders of each team based on their daily performance, participation, and leadership ability.
They are then assessed by the Cadet Corps headquarters. Selection criteria include personal achievement, uniform, marching, leadership,
a written test, a personal statement and group discussion.

The winning cadets have tried their best but achievement has not come easily so their success is well earned and deserved.

Yau Ching Hin also attained the silver level of the Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) originally known as the
Duke of Edinburgh Award, established in 1961.

The AYP is part of the International Youth Award Programme. International Youth Awards share a common assessment system which include
service subjects, field exercise subjects, skills subjects, recreation and sports subjects and group life subjects.

They allow young people aged 14 to 24 to cultivate the spirit of courage, of challenge and perseverance by completing age-level requirements.

The goal of the programme is to foster good moral character, leadership skills, mutual help and love, teamwork, care for the society, courage
to serve and the spirit of taking responsibility. On the basis of their performance and achievements, only ten cadets are nominated as outstanding.
Each winner one is awarded a certificate and trophy.

We post the following player reflection: 今日大家都做得好好，唔理係場上定場下都好，
場上嘅就落盡力打比賽，場下嘅就落盡力打氣，士氣同實力兼優，但係我哋嘅體能同
防守仍然需要努力，減少自身嘅犯規，同埋turn over嘅話要即刻返去防守、停波，
唔好淨係用犯規嚟Stop人哋嘅進攻。進攻方面，都係要夾多啲，培養多啲默契同埋
記熟d from。
