Dear Alumni, Parents, Students, Teachers, Staff Members and Friends of Wah Yan,

Marathon 2016

Greetings from the Foundation! Following the opening of the new School Hall (Wah Yan Hong

Kong) and the new football pitch (Wah Yan Kowloon) last September, we are most pleased to see a

wide range of activities such as training, friendly matches, social and cultural gatherings organised at

the two venues. Not only that these new facilities have enabled our young Wahyanites to improve

both their physique and mental strength, but they have also provided more opportunities for

students, parents, alumni and friends to gather in different interesting events.

These new hubs of Wah Yan created a stronger bonding and unity as one family across the

entire Wah Yan Community.

Over the years, your generosity for our Marathon campaigns had enabled our Schools to

provide professional training to help students pursue new heights in different sport. For instance, 15

sports teams are now competing in Division One of the Inter-School competitions and have won

medals even in open divisions. Now our Principals and Sports Masters are aiming to embracing all

young Wahyanites through a series of sports development programmes, to achieve overall

participation and continuous improvement in some major sports events in the next three years.

In order to keep up the momentum for our energetic Wahyanites and provide sufficient

funding for sports development in the two Schools, we are appealing to you to continue your support

for our Marathon Campaign this year. Unfortunately, due to immense competition, we have only got

200 group enrolment places in the SCB Hong Kong Marathon in 2016, detail as below:

encouragement because they are running For and With Others. For inquiries please call our team

Your generosity will enable the 2 Wah Yans to provide better support for physique and mental

development for students, the very essence of whole person development for all young Wahyanites!

Again thank you for your selfless support for Wah Yan.

With gratitude and very best wishes,

Rev Fr Alfred Deignan SJ Chairman
