At Munsang, we encourage students to fly high to an altitude on a par with the sky. All of them
can achieve it. as long as they have the determination to do so. Take this to heart: Genius is one
percent inspiration, but ninety-nine percent perspiration.
It is my honour to join the High Flyers Scheme this year. I am pleased that this scheme provides me
with a mentor to nurture me and give me the utmost care throughout my senior secondary school
life. Not only can the High Flyers Scheme bring together teachers and students, but it can also let
us aim high and fly high. I am looking forward to the coming meetings and projects in the scheme
which can help me a lot in academic study and most importantly, in my future life and career
planning.

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine
that you are a poor student struggling to
make ends meet. Your favourite snack
is a chocolate bar which costs $10. One
day, you are given $100. Will you make
a bee-line for the chocolate bar or buy
a pack of rice that costs 80 dollars?
In the High-Flyers meeting, our alumnus
adviser, Mr Wong Chung Kit, mentioned this
intriguing metaphor. In our life, we are given
plenty of opportunities. Some may defy our
imagination and distract us from our original
intention. However, we should never forget
to follow our dreams. Although dreams may
seem untouchable like the distant stars in
the sky, they are the motivation in our life.
Moreover, Mr Wong emphasized the
importance of prioritizing our tasks. The
trick is to be as ruthless as you can stand,
prioritizing until you only have one task to
focus on right now, so you can’t help but get
to work. This is particularly useful when you’re
drowning under a million things to do which
prevent you from meeting deadlines.

My progress, slumped during study leave. I felt
lost and devastated with the seemingly endless
assessments. Serendipitously, my notepad one
day reappeared from my mountains of books
and notes. I read through the tips Joseph
gave us. ‘High Flyer is not a label for you, but
more of a vote of confidence in you from the
college.’ This quote of Joseph’s miraculously
and magically revitalized and rejuvenated
me in a sense that I no longer stood alone.
Following the little tips Joseph shared with us,
I shattered the wall of lack-of-confidence and
found another way to stand and fight.
F.6B Ching Heng Markus
Alumni Mentor, Mr. Joseph Chan Ping Hung (Class 1991)
Alumni Mentor, Mr. Wong Chung Kit (Class 1998)
Being a typical Munsang student, I have been
working on my academics from the first day
I stepped into the NSS curriculum, which
has been notoriously demanding. Soon, the
college put the High Flyers Scheme notice
on the blue board and I was one of the lucky
ones selected. I thought it would involve some
extra drills to brush up on our academic skills
(an innocent thought though). We were,
surprisingly, invited to a number of sharing
sessions by a renowned alumnus, Mr. Joseph
Chan. He shared his experiences and tips
on effective learning, and examination stress
relief. It is said that something is not worthcherishing until you are desperately in need of
it. This is so true. I noted down the tips on my
notepad, but had them all hanging in the air
very soon after.

AFS returnee visiting Germany as her
Graduation Trip in June 2015
Cultural
Exchange
Munsanger Viki Lam spent a year studying in Germany back
in 2012-13 and returned to Hong Kong to finish Form 5 and
6. As a treat for herself and to recapture lost memories, she
visited Germany again after completing her HKDSE exams.
To be able to set foot again in this exotic yet familiar land is so
unreal! I left for almost two years but nothing has changed! It’s
just like travelling back in time! “Exchange is not a year in your
life; it’s a life in your year.” I can’t be more grateful for all the
changes and experiences that happened to me in my exchange
year and I hope I can keep coming back!

Mini Cultural Fair II organized by PTA & CEA on 19th May 2015
I joined the Mini Cultural Fair for the first time and was astonished by the fun and breath-taking
experience. Learning Italian numbers through scarf-snatching was really thrilling and the most
unforgettable part was trying on gorgeous Korean costumes. My classmates and I could not stop
laughing. I broadened my knowledge about various cultures through this cultural fair and I look
forward to the coming fair!
F.1A Luk Wing Sum, Sonia
Holding the Mini Cultural Fair II with our helpful and dedicated parents was an exceptional
experience as it was a day full of experiences to enhance the intercultural atmosphere at school.
We definitely had a blast with parents and
students from both the primary and secondary
sections, enjoying foreign food and music and
trying costumes of different countries. We thank
our school for the valuable opportunity to have
this fair.

Local Exchange Programme with Ying Wa College from 22nd to 24th Apr 2015
I was privileged to have lessons and interact with one of the brilliant exchange students, Alan, the Head Prefect of
Ying Wa College. He was easy to converse with and respectful in manner. He showed genuine interest in different
lessons and was able to interact with our teachers effectively. I believe he displayed the inner qualities of a good
student, as well as a true leader.

student representatives to participate in JENESYS, the exchange tour to Japan.
“He who travels far knows much” - I was honoured and blessed to represent our school and
through this trip, I was exposed to the fascinating Japanese culture and its intriguing historical sites.
I learned about the three “Rs”, namely Respect, Responsibility and Reflection. It was definitely
worthwhile and I am always going to remember these 8 days in the years to come.

Dinner with Antonio, his Host Family, the

We all had a wonderful time together and it has been a while since
I have seen any Italians, so it was truly thrilling to have such a chance
to catch up with my compatriots and Sarah and her husband were
both exceedingly generous and friendly. My family and host brothers
were also amazed at the precious experience.

Delicious Chinese food and a traditional Swiss dessert stood ready
on the table when Mr. Erwin Luethi, Deputy consul General of
Switzerland, Mr. Thomas Wong, programme director of AFS, and
Mr. Kan came to our house. We spent a cheerful evening together,
where lots of mind-blowing and scintillating stories were told by the
well-travelled.

Blood Donation Day
Blood Donation Day
on 24th April 2015
Two “Blood Donation Days” were held this
year. Students from F.4 to F.6 participated in
this meaningful event. Their beautiful smiles
and charitable minds were inspiring and
attractive. They learnt to have concern for and
contribute to society through this activity.
Student Association
As members of Phantasy the 65th Student
Association, we have devoted our best effort
to offering a comprehensive range of activities
for our fellow schoolmates. With concerted
effort, we co-organized the Christmas Ball
with other schools and received credit for the
delightful atmosphere on that night. A total
of HK$14,340.00 was raised in this event and
the sum was donated to Hong Kong Red
Cross.
In March and April, schoolmates who
engaged in the Running Man and Heat of
Singing Contest found these activities to be

exciting and rewarding. We are now eager to
introduce our up-coming activities: the Final

in the hope that a stronger bond can be
developed between fellows in Munsang.

Social Service Award Scheme
Flag-Selling
In order to encourage our students to participate in social services and
contribute to our society, our school set up the Social Service Award
Scheme in 2006. Until now, our schoolmates have been awarded more
than 2,300 (2,377) badges. This year 139 students got the award . Through
this scheme, we hope to motivate students to serve others of different
classes in society so that they can widen their horizon , learn to respect and
care for others and to be responsible. All of these outcomes are valuable
qualities for life and growth.
All Form 4 students were invited to participate in one flag-selling
activity this academic year. Three Flag-Selling Days were organized
for them by February, 2015. In addition, some F.3 to F.4 students
were invited to be volunteers on the Flag-selling Days in April and
June . This charitable event enabled students to help the needy
in society and this was a wonderful experience of giving hope to
others through care and love.

Campus TV
Dream Comes True
Here we shout “Our dream comes true!” In
November, our Campus TV team participated
in the Build Bridges, Social Innovation Video
Competition which was co-organized by the
SIE Fund and Youth.gov.hk. With our mobile
nursery bus idea, we were are more than
grateful to win the 2nd-runner up out of the 70
entries by over 200 students from 56 schools
in Hong Kong.
Low-income families are in need of affordable
and reliable child care services. Often, in these
cases, either both parents are too busy to
take care of their kids, or they are unable to
increase their family income as one parent
has to stay home to take care of the kids.
A mobile nursery may provide some help.
On the bus, nannies will help look after the
kids and check their homework; operating as
a mobile nursery means saving on monthly
rental costs, and by travelling around, children
get to see more parts of the city.
Small ideas are now going to be turned into big projects to make a huge difference in society.
Our idea was showcased in the “Social Innovation Jam” held by the SIE Fund in shopping malls to
arouse public awareness.

Chinese documentary “ Yeung Yeung with Cows”
《牽牛花》
Hong Kong/2013/Col/25mins
In Cantonese with Chinese & English subtitles
Director: Wong Cheuk Man
With all her heart, Yeung Yeung devotes herself to
taking care of a herd of stray cows.
Animals Hate Us
I was almost going to cry my eyes out after
watching the documentary ‘Yeung Yeung with
Cows’. Yeung Yeung is not like us normal
modern citizens; she has her love and care
for animals and the environment. She took
absolute good care of the cows that people
abandoned and treated them like adorable
human babies.
Even though she couldn’t do much, she outdid
herself, all because of her understanding of
the importance of environmental protection.
She did not just recycle plastic bags, she did
what we would rarely do, she took care of
wild animals.
Nothing beats urban development as the
hottest issue in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has
the money to renovate everything and to
clear any ‘excessive’ rural area ‘for the sake of
people’ providing us with glorious shopping
malls may sound pretty attractive, but
definitely not to cows.
All the cows in the documentary were relying
on Yeung Yeung, not because they were
lazy, but because they were helpless. Cows
used to live by themselves, without any help
from humans. Those were the times when
Hong Kong still had not been developed
so much yet, farmers could be easily found,
and they kept cows on farms. Nowadays,
we can hardly even see a single farmer or a
cow. The farmers did not need help from
cows, because they either gave up on being
a farmer, or they found a new job. Cows are
often seen wandering around hills, looking for
food, except when there is not much food.
I felt so unsettled after realizing the fact that
people treat animals like nothing. De De had
an infection and his life was soon to be gone,
and Yeung Yeung was the only one standing
beside him, showing him support. The director
of the documentary showed us a normal day
for Yeung Yeung. She was just working for
cows, without any entertainment. However,
she was so into it. After all, she was an angel.
People often say that urban development and
environmental protection can be balanced
easily. But we know it is not that easy. To
be realistic, we often have to sacrifice either
economy or environment. When we want
grand malls with air-conditioning, we need
to use undeveloped lands; when we want to
spend time in spacious parks, we need to give
up air-conditioning.
However, it’s not all about what we want. The
thing is, there are animals living in Hong Kong,
and we honestly cannot easily put ourselves in
their place. Even after watching ‘Yeung Yeung
with Cows’, I could just conclude that the
cows were not happy at all, but the feeling is
not as strong as watching a human baby crying
for food.
Not many of us worry about wildlife, because
we usually do not see the problem. The
Hong Kong government seems to be into
environmental protection, by setting up the
plastic bag levy etc. However, the big thing
is not just about recycling, or turning off the
lights. I think all of us know what the big thing
is, deep in our hearts.
According to WWF, about 23% (1,130
species) of mammals and 12% (1,194 species)
of birds are considered threatened by IUCN
today. Global biodiversity is being lost much
faster than natural extinction due to changes
in land use, unsustainable use of natural
resources, invasive alien species, climate
change and pollution among others.
Land conversion by humans, resulting in
natural habitat loss, is most evident in tropical
forests and is less intensive in temperate,
boreal and arctic regions. Pollution from
atmospheric nitrogen deposition is most
severe in northern temperate areas close
to urban centers; and the introduction of
damaging alien species is usually brought
about through patterns of human activity.
Inevitably, human activities often bring harm
to wildlife, for example: chopping down trees
for timber leads to the loss of animal habitats.
With the high living standard of Hong Kong
citizens, we demand more and more, while
we harm the environment more and more.
Anyway, it is not simple for us to help cows or
the environment. If I did not get the chance to
watch all those documentaries, I would have
hardly considered environmental protection as
such a serious issue. I sincerely wish everyone
in Hong Kong, or even around the globe, can
really, think about what we are doing to our
planet Earth.

EMI Schools Association Drama Fest Competition
on 16th April 2015
LAC Week from 20th to 24th
April 2015
In April, the English Drama Club participated in the annual EMI Schools
Association Drama Fest Competition and won two awards: Outstanding
Script and Outstanding Performer. We are very pleased that our Swiss
exchange student, Alissa Frick, received the Outstanding Performer Award.
This weeklong activity which combines
presentations and competitions from various
subjects and forms has definitely broadened
my horizons. Through being a debater in the
Geography Debate, I was given a precious
opportunity to enhance my English speaking
skills. In my opinion, a cross-platform and
dynamic activity like LAC Week not only
arouses the interests of students, but also
motivates us to explore more and expand our
knowledge. I could feel the enthusiasm among
participants and the audiences towards the
breath-taking performances. Take the Science
Day as an example, the audience had an
opportunity to vote for their favourite product
made by the presenters. This facilitates our
interaction and adds spice to the learning
process.
F.4A Fok Ho Man, Carson
Debater and EASE Member
Drama Club is my favourite CCA and it has been exhilarating and unforgettable to have fun
acting and learning with the young and energetic fellow schoolmates and I love the fact that Mr.
Christianopoulos is remarkably passionate about acting.
The competition was a great experience as we supported each other and displayed strong team
spirit. As a result, I was able to put on my best performance and it was an honor to win the
Outstanding Performer Award.

“One small step for English
Ambassadors, one giant leap for
English learning”
For two years, we have been striving to
enhance the English competency of our
Primary Six students by holding rousing English
activities and games during lunchtime every
Friday. This year, with the emergence of EA
(English Ambassadors) in MSCPS, we are able
to take the experience up a notch. Through
mentoring and bonding with the EA weekly,
both students of EASE and EA students
have been infused with enjoyment and skills
necessary for the enrichment of our English
learning environment.

English Exchange Programme with
St. Patrick’s School on 6th March
What a way to celebrate our anniversary
and my last days in Munsang! Having been an
EASE member for nearly all my school life, we
savored the unprecedented opportunity of
having an English exchange with Primary Five
students from St. Patrick’s School. We learned
tongue twisters, danced, laughed and learned
English in an exceptionally fun way. The 20 of
us, ranging from Form 1 to Form 5, enjoyed
ourselves as much as the primary students as
we were able to instill joy and happiness into
them through enticing English games.

This year, we conducted a study on biodiesel.
We learnt many things about the properties
of bio-diesel and the chemical theories
behind through the preparation work before
manufacturing the bio-diesel (watching
videos from the internet). Through the
various processes, we also obtained many
experimental skills as well as a better
understanding of bio-diesel.
We were all glad that we could make a
satisfying bio-diesel product at the end, and
we thank teachers of Science Society who
gave us the task of making the bio-diesel, and
also gave us much helpful advice. We are
going to continue our project by using the
glycerin produced in the making of bio-diesel
to make soap in the coming summer holiday.
F.4A Tse Hoi Yan
Bio-diesel presentation in LAC week (22nd April 2015)
The reason why we chose bio-diesel as our
project this year is that we wanted to explore
more about renewable energy and try to
make our lives more ‘green’, which means
converting the used oil into useful diesel for
vehicles.
The process of making bio-diesel was not
that easy. The most difficult part was that we
needed to use titration method to know the
proportion to neutralize the acidic used-oil.
As there are always errors in experiments, we
have spent all together around 7 hours doing
that.
Bio-diesel demontration to Ping Shek Catholic Primary School (19th March 2015)
We also did experiments comparing the
efficiency in boiling water by using normal
oil and the bio-diesel, and the result is very
significant and delighting that the bio-diesel
This year, we had a chance to take part in
Charity Plant Sales in the school. With the
cooperation of Interact Club and Science
Society, we have learned lots of different
knowledge and skills which cannot be gained
from textbooks. We all benefitted a lot in
various stages, including planning, farming,
promoting and even selling. As for myself,
I was equipped with basic farming skills in
Science Society over the past few years but
the promotion skills could not be gained
much there. We have exchanged our various
kinds of knowledge and skills in order to
ensure the charity plan could run smoothly.
Interact Club contributes the marketing skills
and poster designing skills, while Science
Society contributes the scientific knowledge
and practical skills in farming.

Essential Qualities of Effective Learning
The following essential qualities of effective
learning must be clearly seen not only
among students in class, but also among
teachers in the 科研課堂, as those
conducted in Tokyo University Attached
Junior High School in Tokyo and Shimone
Junior High School in Ushiku.
• Peer learning in groups (even in Sports,
Visual Art and D&T lessons) with
lessons being interactive and students
owning the learning process
• Peer assessment through discussion and
feedback given for presentations
• Peer encouragement & reminder at all
times to be encouraged
• Keen listening by both teachers and
students throughout the learning
process
(voice volume of both teachers and
students being very low in class)
• Constant and frequent self-reflection
during the learning process
• Passionate care and strong support
among students and teachers, and also
between students & teachers
• High expectation on the learning
outcomes
• Be honest to accept one’s own limitation
(e.g. students’ feedback to teacher’s
question: “I don’t know the answer.”
teachers’ response to colleague’s
comment: “I am particularly weak in ….”
• Be open-minded in the face of others’
frank, harsh and negative comments

第一次加入家教會，本意是閒時可以做做義工。加入這
團體後，看見各位家長盡心盡力做事，烹調色香味俱備
的食物，大家用盡方法為學校、為同學做到最好；看見
幼稚園及小學部的小寶貝們、中學的大哥哥大姐姐們開
心的笑容，作為義工，作為家長的我收穫更多！感恩民
生讓我有機會參於其中，享受他們在校的生活及見證孩
子的成長過程，願有更多的爸爸媽媽加入民生這個大家
庭！

屈指一算，原來我踏足「民生」已是第12個年頭了，
回憶長子在民生幼稚園讀書時的幕幕片段，還記憶猶新
呢！兩年前，幼子也開始入讀民生書院小學部。由於搬
近了學校，我很自然地當上了家長義工，我也十分享受
跟學校及老師們親近的感覺！
非常榮幸，今年更當選為第十屆PTA委員，經過幾個月的
工作，除讓我認識了一班熱心奉獻的委員外，更讓我對
民生書院有更深入的了解！近幾次的活動有：元宵節燈
謎活動、圖書館義工、追思會、環保皮革工作坊、Mini
Cultural Fair等……通通令我獲益良多，執筆同時，也是
我們正籌備6月28日的親子遊的時候，希望在我們努力準
備下，大家都能有一個愉快的旅程，期待跟你們見面！

(14.3.2015)
陳校長、家長執委與老師們共同召開家教會會議，作分享交流，
加強家校合作。

「爸爸媽媽請放心！」
從前，我不是一位成績優異的學生，卻是一位熱愛校園
生活的學生，離開快樂的校園，進身職場，快樂不知時
日過，轉眼已是二十年了，讓我忘記了成人和孩子的分
別，把家中的「小天使」培育成「小魔怪」。
成為家教會執委後，看著天真爛漫的學生們，卻勾起了
我久違的校園回憶，原來家中的「小魔怪」還是「小天
使」，只是自己不經不覺成了「大魔怪」才是……

很高興能參與一年一度家教會舉辦之興趣班「環保皮革
工作坊∼證件套」。為了配合學校的環保教育，我們選
用了回收廢皮為主要材料。當天，我們除了擁有自己獨
特的證件套外，更認識了不同的皮革種類及選購皮革要
注意的事項，更學會了縫合和如何修飾皮革呢！。

今年有幸成為PTA家長委員和民生書院的替代家長校董，
實在非常榮幸和感恩。
參加PTA義工已有四年了，今年成為了PTA的執委。在這
四年裏，認識了很多家長義工，我們由不熟悉的家長，
漸漸變成好朋友。大家不但交流教導兒女的心得，又可
以為學校服務，真是開心。
其實，一直以來不論在校內或校外，我都有參與不同的
義工服務，所謂：「施比受更為有福」。我很高興參與
了PTA不同的活動，例如：協助便服日籌款的點算工作，
能分擔各家長執委及老師的擔子，令他們有充足的體
力，有助孩子們健康快樂地成長。
今年曾參加學校的元宵燈謎活動、圖書館義工、皮革
班、親子遊及Mini-Cultural Fair。最難忘的要算是參加元
宵燈謎活動了。當天是農曆十五，我們為中學、小學及
幼稚園的學生，預備了湯圓及中、西式糖果。當他們輪
流到小食部取湯圓及糖果時，臉上流露着的笑容，真是
令我們很滿足。而當日的猜燈謎活動，場面更為熱鬧。
在AGM上我又認識了很多不同班級的家長，大家互相交
流教導孩子的心得。在元宵燈謎活動和Mini-Cultural Fair
中，我們略盡綿力，派發一些食品給不同年級的孩子和
老師，令他們非常開心和滿足。看到這些既窩心又溫馨
的情景，使我聯想起民生書院校訓：「人人為我，我為
人人」之精神。
希望來年可以繼續為學校服務。
在此，我認為參與了PTA及校董會後，不單加強了與校方
的溝通，也真的使我獲益良多。最後，希望大家亦能多
多支持及參與我們的活動。

元宵節燈迷活動
(5.3.2015)
元宵佳節，學生除可猜猜燈謎外，又
可品嚐家長們烹調的美味湯圓，感受
濃厚的節日氣氛。
何綺雲
(副主席)
大家好，我是SuKi！加入PTA已有一段日子，曾經擔任家教
會司庫及聯絡之工作。回想過往舉辦的活動，都令我十分
難忘，由籌組到聯絡，縱然遇到困難，但有賴家長義工們
的全力支持，使每個活動都能在溫馨、和諧、愉快的氣氛
下完成，最感滿足當然是得到學生們的認同。在此，感謝
校長及老師對我們的信任。隨著AGM換屆，喜見很多新力
軍加入成為執委，為民生服務，我們的動力都是來自各會
員之支持，若想參加活動或加入成為家長義工，請多多留
意日後PTA的通訊！

隨着女兒升中，我也加入了「民生書院家長教師會」這
個大家庭。在這裏認識了很多熱心的家長義工。當中
最難忘的活動是Mini Cultural Fair，家長義工們都七手
八臂似的準備和烹調美食，到中午和放學時共有超過
500位師生共享美食，當天現場充滿著歡笑聲和美妙的
歌聲，真是難忘。當初考慮加入家教會時，心情忐忑不
安，擔心自己分身不下、家中會混亂不堪……今天的我
卻能驕傲地告訴大家：得到的比擔心的多着呢！謝謝。

5月19日的Mini-Cultural Fair圓滿完成，讓老師、同學、
教職員工及家長義工都樂在其中、渡過了一段美好的時
光、至今我還在回味……
經過幾天的籌備和採購，當天早上大家便各就各位，相
互合作，將德國腸菠蘿串、法式迷你泡芙、美式薯仔什
果沙律、意式蘑菇螺絲粉、特色咖喱魚蛋、還有Mocktail
等像變魔法般展現在大家面前！這可不是徒有其名，賣相和
味道均讓人垂涎三尺。放學後，同學們將食物、音樂和歌聲
交集在一起，讓Mini-Cultural Fair 的氣氛推置了高峰，看到
莘莘學子難得輕鬆的一刻，有份參與的義工都深感滿足……
真希望他們的笑容常在，我們下年再見吧！那時又將會有哪
些節目和食物呢？大家拭目以待……

陳月霞女士 （主席）
這是我第三年參與家教會的工作。今年成為主席，感覺有點戰戰兢兢。全靠各執委幫助，所有活動都能順利完成。
合作期間，大家亦由互不相識到成為朋友，就像我們的孩子在學校相識相處後成為朋友一樣。展望將來，希望能繼
續為學校和家長作出貢獻。
