Welcome Speech by Principal Chan Ying Ying
傳承白沙半世紀 昂然踏入百周年
From decades to centuries Carry forth Pak Sha's legacies
Dear SWCS Chan Pak Sha School students, welcome back to our warm learning community. I am your new principal, Chan Ying Ying.
It is a tremendous blessing, and I am truly grateful to join you all in this esteemed institution rich with our ancestors’ wisdom and vision. Together, we will inspire and support each other in our journey of learning and growth.
This year marks our school's golden jubilee, a significant milestone that symbolizes our steadfast commitment to the educational spirit of our founder, Mr. Chan Pak Sha. For half a century, we have embraced his principles of "Openness, Inclusiveness, Pragmatism, and Innovation." As we step into the following decades, we remain dedicated to facing the ever-changing challenges and opportunities of the new era with courage and determination.
As the principal and teachers at Chan Pak Sha School, we are guided by Mr. Chan's noble spirit of "Educating to strengthen the nation, providing education for all without discrimination." Our mission is profound and far-reaching.
We believe that our school is not just a place for academic achievement and examination preparation but a sacred space for nurturing the minds and expanding the horizons of young people. We are committed to awakening students' talents and potentials, cultivating good citizens with moral integrity and intellectual capability to meet the needs and challenges of the 21st century, and building a better future together.
Our Educational Beliefs:
As the saying goes, "It is not ability but thinking patterns that determine one's achievements, and imagination leads you to fly higher and farther."
Therefore, I hope that every student at our school, starting from the new school year, will broaden their minds, set noble ideals, and soar towards their goals on the wings of dreams. Even when facing challenges and setbacks, see them as opportunities for growth and tests, as difficulties and challenges are shortcuts to growth. You will eventually achieve great victories if you don't give up, surrender, or quit!
We firmly believe that everyone can succeed. Therefore, all teachers' mission is to guide, encourage, and be companions to the students, ensuring that each student grows in character and ambition, progresses in academic performance and achievements, and shines brightly in various fields in society and the country, creating a beautiful life ahead.
Together, let's:
Live Meaningfully: Live with purpose, live wonderfully.
Act Boldly: Pursue dreams and display talents.
Reach Out: Share achievements and contribute to society.
Create the Future: Embrace sustainable development and commit to lifelong learning.
I wish everyone a vibrant and creative new school year as we forge a splendid future together!
Principal
Chan Ying Ying
