Sing for Love: Christmas Singing Show – Principal’s speech


Teachers and Students,

First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the teachers and students who joined me on stage to lead our singing of "The Greatest Love Of All." Let's give them another round of applause! I also want to congratulate the three students who won during the earlier raffle.

You may not be aware that two weeks ago, we contemplated cancelling today's raffle and instead donating the funds allocated for the raffle gifts to support the victims of the Tai Po fire incident. This was a gesture intended to show our compassion and solidarity. However, after further consideration, we recognized that this raffle has become a cherished tradition at our school, and many of you were likely looking forward to it. Thus, we have decided to proceed with today’s raffle. Simultaneously, I will be donating an amount equivalent to the value of the raffle gifts to the victims of the fire incident, expressing our school’s concern and blessings for them. I have already placed this donation in the box for the "Sending Blessings to the Tai Po Fire Victims" fundraising initiative organized by the Student Union this morning.

The fundraising event spearheaded by the Student Union holds great significance. It's important to remember that the total sum raised isn’t the primary focus; realistically, the amount collected may be modest and may not yield substantial support for those affected. What truly matters is that each student participates by giving what they can — whether it’s ten dollars, five dollars, or even just one dollar. This collective effort symbolizes our shared compassion and heartfelt support for the victims of the Tai Po fire incident. These victims are part of our community, and when they face adversity, it is our duty to show them compassion, blessings, and care. The exact amount is secondary; the small acts of kindness and the genuine intentions from each of you are what truly count.

Although nearly a month has passed since the fire incident, we have not forgotten the impact it had on our neighbours. We will continue our support for the victims, with the hope that their lives will improve and that they will find safety and peace in the future. In this spirit, I kindly request that the Student Union arrange for another session today to set up a donation box in the covered playground after school. This will give students an opportunity to contribute voluntarily, transforming small donations into meaningful blessings for the victims of the Tai Po fire incident.

I hope that our fundraising efforts will lend greater significance to today’s Christmas event and that this year — Christmas 2025 — will be a time filled with warmth and love.

Thank you all.

Principal Lo Kwok Leung
