Dear Fellow Wahyanites and Friends of Wah Yan,


Our two Wah Yan colleges are going to celebrate their 90th and 95th anniversaries from
September 2014 onwards. Since 2007, the Wah Yan One Family Foundation has launched the Fr
Deignans Dream Campaign and raised over HK$100 million through our beloved alumni and friends.
Small class teaching, teacher formation and whole person development programmes for students in
the two Wah Yans have been implemented since 2008.

Over the years, our efforts have started to bear fruit, as evidenced in the recent DSE results and
the evaluation report conducted by The University of Hong Kong. The report also pointed to the needs
of our devoted teachers for administrative support and enhancement in Ignatian pedagogy and
professional development. Thus our duty is to sustain and further enhance the three worthwhile
initiatives, namely small class teaching and whole person development for students, teacher and staff
member formation, and campus maintenance for the next 5 years and beyond to carry our Schools
forward. To fulfil this task, we need not less than HK$12 million each year to sustain our work. As such,
we have set a fundraising target of HK$60 million for the Anniversaries Fundraising Campaign.

The Anniversaries Celebration Programmes
With the theme Heritage Plus (), the 90th/95th Anniversaries Fundraising Campaign
aims to gather Wahyanites and friends of different times to celebrate the 90th (Wah Yan Kowloon) and
95th (Wah Yan Hong Kong) birthdays of the Schools and amass contributions from these philanthropic
people towards sustaining the heritage and traditions of Wah Yan. Four meaningful events will be
launched from September 2014 onwards:
