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

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.

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

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. Xavier at:

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

  Leslie Cheung

    <enter for songs and videos

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.
