Message from the Principal<\/p>\n
An S6 graduate from this academic year emailed me in early May to introduce to me the song \u2018Maria\u2019 from the musical \u2018West Side Story\u2019 (Maria is my English name).\u00a0 I didn\u2019t ever teach this student, and only paid her a visit when she was ill and had lunch with her and a few classmates of hers once.\u00a0 Still, she thought of me seeing the name of the song and I felt so encouraged receiving her email.<\/p>\n
One thing I\u2019ve realized is that being school principal, I have more opportunity than before to get into touch with students.\u00a0\u00a0 I was worried that students would keep me at arm\u2019s length and would no longer joke or chat with me.\u00a0 Shortly after school started, though, I found that I shouldn\u2019t have worried.\u00a0 Students greeted me, talked to me, and shared with me their joy, difficulties, challenges, their needs and those of their family.\u00a0 At least 178 students of various forms have been to the Principal\u2019s Room, the majority being from S6.\u00a0 Unless I had to be out or was in meetings, I invited S6 students to join me for lunch from early November to mid-January.\u00a0 The Principal\u2019s Room was enchanting to the S6 students, most of whom not having been inside it.\u00a0 They talked about their growing-up, their future study plans, and how much they would miss the school and their schoolmates.\u00a0 Through these lunch gatherings I learned more about how students see Carmel, and how Carmel has had an impact on their adolescence.\u00a0 When students named the teachers who have supported them and cared for them, there was gratitude in their eyes.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve attended student activities inside and outside of school, and been particularly impressed by students\u2019 drive to Gear Up and Go the Extra Mile.\u00a0 They work to equip themselves for academic and nonacademic activities and competitions.\u00a0 They yearn to broaden their horizons and gain precious experience.\u00a0 This year students have won a great number of competitions, and those who haven\u2019t are gracious about losing.\u00a0 They know they\u2019ve tried their best and are without regrets.<\/p>\n
I thank God and feel indeed honoured to be able to serve Carmel, and everyone who studies and works in this school.<\/p>\n
