Dear Students, 細說日出印象 日出與日落是畫家最愛的題材，然而，能讓人留下深刻印象的莫過於Claude Monet的「日出」。1872年Claude Monet的「日出」終於面世，當時的Claude Monet已經患有眼疾，視力日漸衰退。人生就是這樣，畫家遇上眼疾，是諷刺還是磨練？是宿命還是機會？在視力模糊的日子，他仍舊在不同的時間站在同一個位置上觀察光、影落在海上、碼頭及環境的變化。他照着眼前所見的光、影及動態，用十分鬆散及熟練的筆觸繪出朦朧的日出，因為有這種堅持，後世才可以從他的畫作了解他的眼疾及畫作之間的微妙變化，而「日出」更被譽為印象派的代表作品。如果我是Claude Monet，眼前的光景由清晰變成朦朧，過往的色彩分明變得難以識別，如果事情不能逆轉，我可以像他這樣接受視力的限制，不放棄所學的知識及興趣嗎？有人說Claude Monet的印象派畫作，近看是模糊的，遠看卻變得清晰。是的，當人站在遠處回首昨天的遭遇時，或許能夠豁然開朗。 On Impression, Sunrise Dawn and dusk are among the most commonplace subjects of paintings, yet we still can’t help being impressed by what Claude Monet managed to do in his “Impression, Sunrise”. The painting was finished in 1872 while the sight of Monet was declining. It’s […]

Dear Woo Singers, “Me” Merry Christmas 聖誕節往往代表奇蹟將臨，這個聖誕節前夕，我閱讀了一年級同學的Me Project，每一個Me Project就好像一顆顆耀眼閃爍的小星星掛在聖誕樹上，發出小小光芒。一年級同學的Me Project只做自己可以及喜歡的小事情，沒有高估自己的能力，也沒有小看自己。例如為家人煮飯、獨自遠足、重拾運動樂趣、改變生活習慣及畫一隻貓等。這些都是平實有趣的Project，沒有嘩眾取寵，不需模仿別人，也不用比較高底，按着自己的步伐踏實的走出去，不計較理想遠大還是微少，就在自己的角落發揮光芒。或許我們不再期望聖誕節的奇蹟，因為它就在每一天踏實的一小步裡。祝願聖誕快樂，期待你有層出不窮的”ME PROJECT” 。 “Me” Merry Christmas Christmas often reminds us of the amazing and miraculous things in life. While this Christmas is drawing near, I spend long hours reading the “Me Project” reports written by our first-year students. These projects are like stars aggregated on a

Second Home During the graduation ceremony last week, our master invites the graduating Woo Singer to take the college as their second “home”. At that moment, I was thinking what would it be like to be a second “home”? Then a few lines of lyrics in the song “North” by Sleep At Last (YouTube Link
