The 60th Issue of Wayfarer: Celebrating the 170th Anniversary of the College

At assembly yesterday morning, the Editors-in-Chief for the Chinese and English Sections were invited to present the major features of the new issue of our school magazine, Wayfarer.

The English Editor-in-Chief, Leung Lok Him Brian (6E), and the Chinese Editor-in-Chief, Au Ki Chun Jeffrey (6E,) both spoke about the cover design.

Brian explained that the digital art images on the covers, which feature the main facades of the College on Bonham Road and its Primary School on Victoria Road, symbolise the close bond between our primary and secondary students.

Jeffrey added that the flock of colourful birds soaring out of the blue frame on each of the covers represents the six houses of Paulines, whose creative, outside-the-box thinking is taking them to new heights. He remarked that the 60th issue of Wayfarer marks the end, as well as the beginning, of a sexagenary cycle by the ancient Chinese calendar.

The retrospective and forward-looking themes are clearly reflected by the feature articles found in both sections. There are, for example, reports on our Anniversary Concert and Speech Day, alongside articles on the 170th Anniversary Seminar Series Plenary Session and the Distinguished Prefects Assemblies, where prominent scholars, experts and our alumni shared their views and perspectives on local and global issues that extend beyond the present horizons.

At the end of their speeches, Brian and Jeffrey offered their thanks to the school administration, the teacher advisors and all the students who were involved in bringing the publication project to fruition.

Copies of the new school magazine will be distributed to the subscribers starting next week.
