Rosaryhill School
50th Anniversary Celebration
Gala Dinner is on 30 November 2008, at the Hong
Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
Dear Alumni,
In the coming scholastic year, our School will step into its 50th year and the
school management is arranging a number of events to celebrate Rosaryhill School
Golden Jubilee (1959 – 2009). You may refer to the flyer below for details of
the events for tentative schedules. Please check with school
http://www.rhs.edu.hk or RHSOSA
http://www.rhsosa.org/ for most
updated information.
RHSOSA has the honour to take part in organising the Gala Dinner for the School.
This provides the opportunity of a lifetime for each of you to have a reunion
with your teachers and friends and to share your fond memories at Rosaryhill
School. We would also like to take this opportunity to assist the School in the
establishment of a HK$1.5 million Golden Jubilee Scholarship Fund for the
benefit of the students studying in the kindergarten, primary, secondary and
business sections. The objective of this scholarship fund is to award students
with outstanding academic performance. The school management is working on the
specifics, such as the criteria, guidelines, and the structure of the board of
trustees.
Here are the details of the Gala Dinner:
Date: 30 November 2008, Sunday, 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Place: The Convention Hall, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
Act now! Organize with your fellow classmates and order a table for your year of
graduation. You may also buy a table and invite your teachers and parents to
attend. You can easily figure out that there are not many tables available for
distribution among thousands of graduates from the past 50 years. All tables are
allocated on a first come, first serve basis. The Gala Dinner will only be
successful with your participation. Please book your table by filling in the
attached booking form. You can find further information at "e-news" section of
RHSOSA website: http://www.rhsosa.org/ For
tax purpose, only ticket with a price above HK$750 can have the portion in
excess of HK$750 be claimed as donation. Receipts will be issued to individuals
based on the names provided by the person booking the table. Please kindly
forward this letter and the attached form to your fellow schoolmates, teachers,
parents and friends. They are all invited to join the Gala Dinner. For alumni
who have not yet registered to the new membership list, please visit our web
site and register.
Yours faithfully,
Edward Ng

UPCOMING EVENTS:
ROSARYHILL SCHOOL GOLDEN JUBILEE
Gala Dinner on 30 November 2008, at the Hong
Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
To: Past-students, parents and friends
Re: Activities of the GOLDEN JUBILEE
Dear past students, parents and friends of Rosaryhill School,
In August 2008 the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, and a few weeks
thereafter we will start with our 50th Anniversary Celebration. It is time that
we inform all of you about the activities that we have planned for our Golden
Jubilee celebration.
1.
Opening Ceremony, in the form of Solemn Mass in the Bernard Charnwut Chan
Hall, in the morning of
6 October 2008 (the feast day of the school is the
following day, Our Lady of the Rosary). We will invite our past students,
parents and friends to join our staff and students to officially open our Golden
Jubilee celebration and to pray to God, through the intercession of Our Lady of
the Rosary, to continue bestowing on all of us His blessings.
2.
Gala Dinner, on 30 November 2008, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition
Centre. This celebration aims to gather our past students and friends, with the
past and current Supervisors, Principals, teachers, staff, and parents. Our
target is to gather more than 1000 persons for this dinner. The dinner also aims
at raising funds to cover part of the expenses of the celebration and to start a
scholarship that will be called the GOLDEN JUBILEE SCHOLARSHIP.
3.
School Open Days, on 6 and 7 December 2008. The official opening of the
School Open Days will be held in the morning of 6 December. We have targeted the
Open Days closed to the Gala Dinner so those students who may come from abroad
can also enjoy this occasion of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.
4.
Music Gala, towards the end of March 2009, at a venue to be confirmed. At
this Music Gala we will bring together the many talents of the past and the
current students, parents and staff who will perform in a Musical that is being
commissioned and written by persons related to our school. I can advance to you
the title, Noah’s Ark, or “the vision of a mission”.
5. Academic Activities, we will have four during the next school year, when we
will invite past students to deliver talks on topics of interest for current and
past students. We will let you have further details on these academic activities
soon.
6. Publications: we have already approached some of you about one of the
publications, the History Booklet that we plan to publish. There will also be
two DVDs presenting the school and the activities to be held during the
Anniversary.
7.
Closing of Anniversary Celebrations, in the month of July 2009.
Our Golden Jubilee celebrations will only be successful with the participation
of all Rosarians and friends of the school. Please start making plans for the
next school year so that you can be part of this important celebration in the
life of the school, significant especially for those who have been and are part
of her.
May God and our Patroness, the Lady of the Rosary, bless us all,
Fr. Francisco de las Heras
Supervisor

Rosaryhill School Alumni - Johnson Choi (RHS 1973) - "2008 Minority Small Business Champion of the Year" By U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) http://www.hkchcc.org/news-release1.htm
We are informed by Mr. Steven C Preston, Administrator of the United States
Small business Administration (SBA) Washington DC that Johnson Choi, President
of the Hong Kong.China.Hawaii Chamber of Commerce (HKCHcc) has won the Top SBA
Award in our category, the "2008 Minority Small Business Champion of the Year"
as defined by the SBA is "To Honor Individuals Who Have Fulfilled a Commitment
to Support and Assist Minority Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners" (Note:
HKCHcc have won the "Hawaii award" as well as the "Regional Award" – topping the
other Minority Small Business Champs in 50 States and Guam to qualify to compete
and winning the "national" award, the top honor in our category).
Honolulu businessman Johnson Choi was honored by the Small Business Administration as 2008 Minority Champion during a ceremony today in the nation's capital. Choi was one of 10 small-business owners and leaders of small-business support organizations nationwide recognized for their support of entrepreneurs. The SBA Champion Awards were presented as part of the annual observance of National Small Business Week. Choi, president of the Hong Kong-China-Hawai'i Chamber of Commerce, works with many Asian immigrants to start businesses, particularly in the area of exporting. He won at the state and regional level before claiming the national title. "The SBA is proud to honor these men and women as true champions of small business, whose tireless efforts have provided tangible and significant support to small businesses and to their communities," said SBA Administrator Steve Preston.

A Message
from Your old Pals from RHS (1969) - Antonia Chan & Robert Ying
Thank you for being shown up at the gathering: Edith Shih, Ada Chan, Catherine
Lau, Mina Ho, Cecilia Sie, Rita Cheung, Felix Wang, Sammie Lee, Stephen Yu and
his wife, Stephen Lam, Kady Shum, David Yip, Leo Mak, Anthony Chan, of course
Fr. Xavier, Robert & Antonia. Thanks so much for Rita being stopped by and said
hello even though she has another banquet arrangement at that night. Also thanks
Felix and Edith took all the times and effort to arrange such wonderful meeting.
Due to we have a super rush itinerary in this trip, we don’t even have
sufficient time to call each one of you to say thank you and goodbye. I hope
this e-mail will explain our busy schedule. Besides, after our gathering on Oct
17, I have lost my voice on Oct 19. Did I? Fr. Xavier. May be I was too exciting
and so much to talk about with friends and relatives. Robert is so painful that
I cannot be his spokeswoman during the trip. Every time, I visited orient, I
always lost my voice either for talking too much or Asia is too noisy, or too
tired or other allergy factors. Anyway, I was taking Chinese medicine during the
whole China Trip. Finally, I can speak on the last day at Hong Kong –Oct 24,
2004.
Oct 16-Arrived Hong Kong-Dinner at Lee Yuen Moon tasting all the fresh seafood.
My friend knows people over there. We have 15 items among 8 of us. At night, we
watched Samuel Hui concert. Sitting on the 4th front row, we can enjoy the
wonderful performance. Unfortunately, I missed Edith at the concert but at least
we talked on the phone at the end of the concert.
Oct 17-Gathering with Robert’s cousin at lunch. Afternoon tea with Los Angeles'
old friends, who have returned from L.A. permanently. My friend also invited us
to attend a French national treasure First Time exhibition in Asia of Picasso’s
Parade. We were told this exhibition will not be shown again in 20 years. How
lucky we are! That’s why we were late for Rosaryhill dinner gathering. But at
least we caught a group photo on time and able to meet Rita before she has to
rush to the banquet.
Oct 18- Whole day at my nephew’s wedding.
Oct 19-Macau- The family chartered a bus to pay respect to our parents at How
See. We picked up Fr. Xavier for lunch. Fortunately, my friend from L.A.
returned Macau for vacation at the same time. So she can be our local tour
guide. We went to see few famous places and have a wonderful lunch at King Kuan
Rok, a local Portuguese restaurant. Food is traditional, good and reasonable. My
family left around 6:00pm and we stayed at Sands Casino. The casino is better
than any others in Macau. All changed girls/boys are very courtesy and no forced
tips. I think the machine payoff system is still incomplete but it is too
complicated to explain. Please check out when you going to Macau.
Oct 20-Family private trip-Ningbo-It is a new developed city but not as
beautiful at Shanghai. We visited the home of Lo Sung (the writer) and few
places. At the hotel, men can get a special message for a special offer. It is a
typical business in China as I was told. Girls, please watch out your man!
Oct 21-Chung Hing/Hon Chou- These are older and noise cities. Robert has been
offered for $300 Yuen for a call girl on the street while I was doing shopping.
Maybe that’s why he is out after hour (I am just joking).
Oct 22-Young Ting Lake for Shanghai Crabs; Tai Chong- visiting my brother-in-law
580 acres manufacturing project and checked in at Shanghai. After dinner, visit
my sister who lives in Shanghai. Shanghai is so beautiful at night.
Oct 23- We have 1 hour shopping in the morning. After checkout, City tour of Poi
East and West (Beautiful buildings and developments). We took Shanghai Maglev
Train to airport which runs 431kmph (268 mph). It is the world fastest Maglev
train. The flight was one hour delayed without any reason (watch out Eastern
China Airline).
Oct 24- Return to L.A. The weather was getting cold. We have to turn on the
heater. There were thunder storms while we were out. L.A. is so quite as
compared to Asia. Home Sweet Home. Our three dogs and a cat were waiting.
We hope we have shared our trip with you. Please make sure if you visit Los
Angeles, contact (011852) 626-284-1262 or if you go to Macau, please contact Fr.

From our Fellow Alumni Bernard Chan
As some of you may have
heard, I have been appointed to Hong Kong's Executive Council (Exco). I thought
you might be interested to hear more about it.
Under Hong Kong¡¦s constitution, the basic Law, Exco advises the Chief Executive
on policy (see http://www.info.gov.hk/info/exco.htm ). In practice, it is Hong
Kong¡¦s top public policymaking body. It plays essentially the same role in Hong
Kong¡¦s government as the cabinet in the US.
Its president is the Chief Executive, Mr Tung Chee-hwa. He appoints some other
members from his principal policy officials ¡V or ministers ¡V in charge of
areas like finance, health, education, etc. But he also appoints some without
official portfolios from the rest of the community. I am one of that unofficial
group. There are currently 22 members, 7 of them unofficial.
Mr Tung offered me a seat on Exco soon after the new Legislative Council (Legco)
session began in early October, following the election in mid-September. I
believe this is essentially to broaden Exco. I remain a member of Legco, and he
feels I might be able to encourage some of my colleagues in Legco to vote in
favour of the administration, though I am not in a position to guarantee this.
He probably also sees me as a potential bridge between the business sector and
other parts of the community, because of my links with the welfare sector. I
also bring more financial sector experience into Exco, as does another new
unofficial member, Ms Laura Cha, formerly a senior market regulator in Hong Kong
and then in Beijing.
It was a shock when Mr Tung made me this offer, and I had to think very
seriously about it. As a member of Exco, I am part of the government and must
publicly support all government policies. I cannot criticise or even differ from
the administration in the media or the Legislative Council. So I lose some
independence. I do gain a much higher public profile, but that is not
necessarily a good thing, as this administration is unpopular among much of the
community.
So why am I doing it? Basically, I see this as a rare chance to have some input
into government policy and maybe play a small part in improving the quality of
governance in Hong Kong today. In other words, I think I can do more by having a
voice behind closed doors. Maybe I am naïve to think I can make a difference,
but there is only one way to find out. There are times when an opportunity comes
along, and you have to take it.
This has come as quite a surprise, and it's going to be something of a learning
experience for me. Exco proceedings are strictly confidential, so I won¡¦t be
able to say much about it, but if you have any questions or comments, I look
forward to receiving them.

News about our fellow alumni, Mr.
Bernard Chan - "The nomination period for candidates in the 2004 Legislative
Council elections ended. The Electoral Affairs Commission advises unopposed
candidates not to announce that they have been returned, as this is the
prerogative of officials. Still, with no other candidates coming forward in the
Insurance functional constituency, the media are announcing that I have been
returned for a third term. Assuming they are correct, it is a great honour for
me, and I would like to thank everyone for their support and advice and for the
confidence they have shown in me. I will do all I can to serve all sectors of
the insurance industry and Hong Kong as a whole in the coming four years."
"As I mentioned when I sent out my election platform on Tuesday, I am not
planning to run for a fourth term for this constituency. With political reform
on the way, the business community will have to share more political power with
other sectors, and it will need to form political partnerships and alliances
with other parts of the community. For this reason, I strongly believe we need
more people from the business sector taking an active role in politics. I
therefore intend to encourage some colleagues in the insurance industry to
develop an interest in the coming years and run for election in this
constituency in whatever form it may be in 2008. If I run for Legco again, it
will be in a direct election."

After teaching in Rosaryhill School for 32 years, our Deputy Principal, Ms. Cathy Lau decided to retire. The Rosaryhill School Old Students Association conducted an interview with Ms. Lau. From the interview, you can easily note that Ms. Lau is not the kind of person easily following the drift. With her never defeated spirit, she devoted her youth to the school and educated generations of Rosarians from the 1970s to 2000s. Although she is going to leave the school, she is still an important person linking the old boys. We take this opportunity wishing her a joyful retirement life. Enter here to view event pictures

Leo Chan
(Red), director of site operations, Mandarin Oriental
April 1, 2003
Pop star, actor
and director Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing plunged to his death from the Mandarin
Oriental hotel in Central in an apparent suicide last night. Cheung, 46 - star
of the hit 1993 movie Farewell My Concubine - fell from the 24th floor window of
the hotel and was found lying in Connaught Road at 6.41pm.
It was Nov 2002 when I met him again in Hong Kong. Father Xavier and I was
talking about him, hoping to invite Leslie as our honor guest at our next
reunion.
Cousins of Leslie Cheung, his assistant Chung Pui-kong
(centre), and the star's long-time companion Tong Hok-tak (second right) attend
his funeral yesterday. More than 1,000 fans lined the pavements as superstar
Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing made his last journey through Hong Kong's streets from
the Hong Kong Funeral Home to the Cape Collinson crematorium yesterday.
Followers waved and wept as the hearse, covered with Cheung's favourite white
flowers and green leaves, carried their idol to his last resting place. Many had
been waiting since early morning to say their final farewells. Mourners began
arriving at the North Point funeral parlour at 8am. Among those from the world
of entertainment who paid their respects were Lydia Sum Tin-ha, Derek Yee Tung-shing,
Alan Tang Kwong-wing, Peter Chan Ho-sun, Cheung's first girlfriend Teresa Mo
Shun-kwan, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Carina Lau Ka-ling, Tsui Hark, Jacky Cheung
Hok-yau, Anita Mui Yim-fong, Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia, Nicholas Tse, Karen Mok
Man-wai, Ti Lung and Faye Wong.
