我中學在一間老牌補助學校 (所謂的「名校」) 讀書,畢業時甚麼也沒有。既無畢業相,亦無謝師宴,連一紙肆業證明書都欠奉。空手吊空臂的從校門走出來,是名副其實的一個 school-leaver*。到大學畢業要找工作才返母校拿 testimonial,因為假假地都係「名校」,希望有幫助。而事實上也極有幫助,找教席只寄了一封信,面試時校長和主任問的不是我大學的學習,反而與我寒暄中學的情況,珍視愛護之情溢於言表。上班第一天就知道前後左右幾乎整個教員室都是名校的 old boys old girls,up 得出都有,包括校長那個讀DGS的女兒。
*Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary: school-leaver [count noun] Brit : someone who has left school usually after completing a course of study instead of continuing on to a college or university。
ANChan59我現在叫你問一問校長這個問題,就是馬禮遜牧師將Ying Wa College從馬六甲(馬來西亞)帶來香港的第一個目的是什麼???
第二個問題是校訓的主要目的是什麼???
All-round education with a key emphasis on Academic Excellence will be the guiding principle of Ying Wa College while we march forward to our Bicentennial Celebration in 2018 (1818-2018).
For nearly two centuries, we have followed the footsteps of Rev Robert MORRISON who pioneered the provision of Christian education to Chinese students in order to prepare them to become society leaders. Today, we are still doing the same.
Our school motto: STEADFAST FAITH & BENEFICENT DEEDS says it all.
