Dear students, Greetings Students of Lee Woo Sing College. My name is Calvin, and I am happy to be a part of such a great establishment of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. As a Physical Education lecturer, I aim to promote physical activity, health and wellness through education, research, leadership, cohesiveness and opportunity. I […]
Dear students, Greetings! My name is Yufei Tao. “Yu” means universe, “Fei” means “fly”, and “Tao” (my last name) means “cultivating one’s personality”. So, putting everything together, you can see that my grandfather (who blessed me with the name) had wanted me to soar into outer space someday. That has been my dream since childhood,
Dear students, 打卡成為現代人的生活習慣， 當我們到達一個好地方，自然地舉起手機將美景拍下，希望在人生路途上留下痕跡，也與朋友分享美好回憶。 你認為和聲書院最佳的打卡點在那裡？ 今年選擇和聲書院第一及第二志願的新生創下歷史新高，在面試的時候，很多同學不約而同地說: 「選擇和聲書院是因為喜歡她的和諧氣氛。」不錯，「和」是書院的核心價值，我們致力在不同層面的活動締造和諧歡愉的氣氛。 和聲書院今年15歲了，即是 60歲(甲子)的1/4。香港中文大學將慶祝60周年 ，如果甲子代表穩重和有成就 。15歲的書院意味著充滿活力，勇闖未來的青年。在這重要時刻，書院準備製作一幅巨型的壁畫「百和圖」掛在書院入口的側牆。顧名思義，「百和圖」是由百多個「和」組成，選自書法名家撰寫不同字體的「和」字組合而成，我們邀請師生共同雕刻製作，每人雕刻一塊畫磚，上面除了「和」字也會刻上一個代表你的中文字。 「百和圖」將會成為和聲書院的最佳打卡點，相信對於有份參與雕刻的同學來說，它不單是打卡勝地，也刻畫了同學在書院留下的歷史痕跡，記錄他與一眾和聲人共建百和的美好回憶! 你又怎可以錯過參與製作的黃金機會呢? “Photo Check-in” (打卡) becomes a common practice. When we visit a beautiful place, we would take out our mobile phone immediately to capture the wonderful scenery and share our sweet memory with our friends! What do you think is the best ‘photo
Dear students, A month has passed since the beginning of the academic year. Are there any surprises, or are things pretty much in line with your expectations? Have you found people or things that excite you, or are you still on the search? For each of these questions, you might have chosen one answer over
Dear students, 我於2018年開始加入和聲書院，轉眼四年。這四年認識了和聲上下師生及職員，一起經歷過高低起跌，一起見證和聲同學的成長。 今年，有幸參與與崔子揚教授帶領書院Mentor的訓練工作坊，與十多位二至四年級同學一起見面。這十多位Mentor將成為Peer Advisor，與一年級同學一起共渡這一年又緊張又不容易適應的大學生活。Mentor也會以師兄師姐身份與一年級同學同行、建立互助網絡及透過活動建立和聲情誼。在工作坊中，新一屆Mentor嘗試學習溝通的不同方法及基本助人技巧 (helping skills)包括聆聽、合適回應及給善意提醒等。Mentor們又想試交換心得，例如：如何與Mentee展開話題、如何介紹自己及如何邀請Mentee參與書院活動等。集合大家的心得更成為整個工作坊的重點，大家的建議成為Mentor日後的實用參考。由今天開始，一年級同學可能會陸續收到Mentor的一些邀請及關心，不妨積極回應你的Mentor，因為他們本着和聲書院精神為大家服務。 回想四年和聲生活，深深體驗到和聲同學的熱誠，今次參與Mentor工作坊，更感受到和聲精神活現眼前，預祝各位Mentor今年成為一個出色的Peer Advisor。 I joined Woo Sing College in 2018 and it has been four years since then. During these four years, I have got to know the teachers, students and staffs of WS, we experienced the ups and downs together and witnessed the growth of WS students. This
Dear students, 今年是書院成立十五週年，在剛過去的兩個星期，一系列的慶祝活動已經開始。我很榮幸能參與其中，欣賞以「歲月留聲」為主題的歌唱比賽，場面好不熱鬧。 是次籌委的悉心安排及參賽同學的精彩表演，為今新學年的書院活動打響頭炮。接下來將會有更多院慶活動，期待您來參與！ 還記得年前學期開始上書通時，我曾邀請數十位同學於學年初寫下其學年目標，到學期末時再看看其大計有否兌現。總括同學的經驗分享，成功的關鍵往往在於其執行力的持久度。雖説道理簡單，但在我們的生活當中，實在充斥着太多誘惑，到底要怎樣做，才能堅持到底，常常保持最佳執行力呢？最近翻查自己的筆記簿，找到一張由藝術家Chaz Hutton (@instachaaz) 創作的插圖，正正提到，是我們的選擇，影響我們的結果。在這裡，我想和同學玩個「拼圖遊戲」，希望這個新學年，大家都有所啟發，能實踐到自己的目標。 明天便是中秋節，祝大家中秋節快樂，人月兩團圓。 This year marks the 15th Anniversary of Woo Sing. In the past two weeks, a series of celebration activities have begun. It is my honour to participate in it and enjoy the singing contest with everyone. The well-thought theme, the surprising performance by the core organizers and
Dear students, The past few months have been very challenging for many people in Hong Kong and around the world. Let’s take a moment to pause and reflect: How have I been? How am I doing? As a teacher and counsellor educator, I often notice that my trainees are quite good at caring for their
Dear Students, 每個人都有一個心靈空間，這個心靈空間可以如海寬闊，也可以如塵渺少。 心靈空間的大少就視乎我們如何體驗情緒、經驗感受及了解自己當下的需要與境況。 挫敗的時候，我們難免失望。 悲傷的時候，我們感到絕望。 興奮的時候，我們充滿盼望。 等待的時候，我們滿有期望。 總有一天，人生的五味紛陳，你都嚐過。那麼，你的心靈空間就會漸漸變得寬闊，那時，無論你身處在狹縫之中或在荒野間抬頭仰望繁星，你也會心寬自在。 Everyone has a psychological space in their mind, which can be as wide as the ocean or as small as dust. The size of this psychological space depends on how we experience our emotions and how we understand our needs and circumstances at the moment. When
Dear students, 願望成真的快感 創新的人經常都有新想法，但很多時候，這些想法都會胎死腹中，能證明或讓它實現的少之又少。那為什麼每天還會有人興致勃勃的繼續做研究呢？答案應該不止真心喜歡那麼簡單。 最近被運算法推送了一個關於單車的廣告，有趣的是這款外型討好的運動單車是在水面上踏的，原來這款Hydrafoil單車是2018年由紐西蘭創辦人Guy Howard-Willis聯同設計師發明的。像公路單車一樣，它行走時具速度，轉彎暢順，亦能讓單車手在水中重新上車起步。設計面世後，全球訂單湧至，大眾甚至認為該發明能夠發展成一門新的水上運動。踩單車和水上運動都不是新事物，那為什麼之前沒有人能做出來呢？Guy Howard-Willis在一個TEDx分享時就輕描淡寫地打趣道：『因為要達到以上三個條件很難，難到冇人想會去做。』而他撐能過這些難關，關鍵是在於一個信念及一個反思。他相信能想像出來的東西就一定意味著它有能實現的可能性。而驅使他要讓願望成真的是一個反省您真的想到死時還未知道自己的夢想或想法是否可行嗎？ 我想創新大概也需要這種信念及堅持吧。大家有冇一些想法蠢蠢欲動？今日不如嘗試踏出第一步，將想像變成現實！ ＃輕功水上飄 ＃雖然㗎嘢有啲貴 ＃唔係鴨仔款嘅水上單車 ＃熄燈時先知唔可行咁點 ＃未能也_非不能也 When the dream comes true Innovators often have new ideas, but among many ideas that fail, only a handful of them will become a reality. So why do innovators continue their work every day? The answer should be more than just loving
Dear students, I wish you have all had a joyful Christmas and New Year break and has had a good start of the new semester. I understand that some of you may had some difficult times in the last two or three years in your studies or in life, with quite a lot going on.
