STUDENTS TOLD TO CARE FOR OTHERS

GENUINE CONCERN FOR OTHERS IS THE KEY TO INDIVIDUAL HAPPINESS AND A HEALTHY SOCIETY, MR COLVYN HAYE, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION SAID TODAY (FRIDAY).
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF BUDDHIST CHI HONG COLLEGE AT HILL ROAD, HE SAID: THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE IS A WELL UNDERSTOOD FUNCTION OF ANY SCHOOL, BUT THE IDEA OF A CARING SOCIETY IS RATHER SPECIAL.+
THE ONE QUALITY WHICH DISTINGUISHES THE GOOD CITIZEN OR MEMBER OF A FAMILY IS AN UNSELFISH CONCERN FOR OTHERS, MR HAYE SAID.
+THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD LEARN IN THE HOME, IN THE SCHOOL AND IN THE WIDE WORLD, HE SAID.
REFERRING TO THE SCHOOL MOTTO WHICH UNDERLINES THE IMPORTANCE OF ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE AND DEVELOPING A CARING SOCIETY, THE DIRECTOR SAID +THIS IS A YOUNG SCHOOL AND IT HAS STARTED WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE BOTH TO LEARNING AND TO SOCIETY.+
