* * * *

THE F19H MARKETING ORGANISATION (FMO) SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN PRAISED FOR THE SPECIAL EMPHASIS THEY PUT ON CULTIVATING THE MORAL CHARACTER OF THEIR STUDENTS AND ENCOURAGING STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

THE COMPLIMENT CAME FROM A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. MR LAU WONG-FAT, WHO WAS ADDRESSING MORE THAN 400 GRADUATES ATTENDING THE 20TH FMO SCHOOLS JOINT GRADUATION CEREMONY HELD AT THE CITY HALL CONCERT HALL TODAY THURSDAY).

THE FMO SCHOOLS, FORMERLY KNOWN AS FISHERMEN'S CHILDREN'S SCHOOLS. HAVE A HISTORY OF OVER 40 YEARS. THE FMO NOW RUNS THE ABERDEEN SECONDARY TECHNICAL SCHOOL WITH 470 STUDENTS AND NINE OTHER PRIMARY SCHOOLS WITH A STUDENT POPULATION OF ABOUT 1.100.

MR LAU SAID HIS IMPRESSION OF STUDENTS IN FISHERMEN'S CHILDREN'S SCHOOLS WAS THAT THEY WERE MODEST IN CHARACTER AND BRILLIANT IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. HE WAS GLAD THAT THE FMO SCHOOLS HAD KEPT UP THE GOOD TRADITION.

HE ALSO PRAISED THE TEACHING STAFF OF THE FMO SCHOOLS. "THEIR DEDICATION TO THE CAUSE OF EDUCATING FISHERMEN'S CHILDREN HAS BORNE FRUIT AND THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS ARE OBVIOUS TO ALL. HE SAID.

MAINTAINING THAT EVERYBODY HAD A PART TO PLAY IN HONG KONG'S PROSPERITY AND THAT THE NEW GENERATION WAS THE COMMUNITY'S HOPE FOR THE TERRITORY'S CONTINUED SUCCESS. MR LAU URGED THE SECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATES TO BE FULLY DEVOTED TO THEIR FUTURE CAUSE. WHETHER THEY CHOSE TO WORK OR TO PURSUE FURTHER STUDIES.

THE PRIMARY SCHOOL GRADUATES WERE URGED TO CONCENTRATE ON THEIR STUDIES AND ENRICH THEIR KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO EQUIP THEMSELVES WITH THE SKILLS REQUIRED TO MEET FUTURE CHALLENGES.

EARLIER. IN ELIS INTRODUCTORY SPEECH. THE DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES. DR LAWRENCE LEE. PRAISED MR LAU FOR THE GREAT CONCERN HE HAD SHOWN FOR NEW TERRITORIES AFFAIRS ANTI FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD OF EDUCATION THROUGH THE HEUNG SCHOOLS.
