Before the BBQ,
retired Principal Mr.
Kenneth KC Chan led
our prayers. Principal
Poon, Vice-principals Ms.
Nancy Chung and Mr.
Lam Kwan Him then
took visitors on a guided
tour of the secondary
school campus, whilst
the student helpers were
busy preparing for the
BBQ.
The heat of the hot summer night didn’t chase away
the hungry crowd of 300+ that gathered in the covered
playground to wait for the sumptuous BBQ. They were
joined by another Mr. Yip, the owner of Yin Yin Store (in
business since 1989 and located right next to SJACPS),
whose famous fried chicken leg helped satiate the
hunger before theBBQwas ready.
The start of the BBQ marked the beginning of the
end of the action-packed day. Sitting among the 27 BBQ
pits were teachers and students, parents and children,
and old and new friends. It was high time for them to
enjoy the feast, reminisce the good old days, and just
savour themoment.
By 11pm, when all the participants were gone, the
Josephians Sports Day finally came to an end. Yet, a
small team of student helpers was still busy cleaning up
and putting things back in order until after 1am. After all,
thenewacademic year was to commence in3days.
Undoubtedly, the Josephians Sports Day was a
great manifestation of the St. Joe family spirit where
dedication, respect and fraternal love were warmly
shown and felt byall.
AdAstra! MayGod bless our almamater!
