Inauguration Ceremony 領袖生交職禮

To continue the spirit of serving the others, “Inauguration Ceremony of New Student Leaders”was held on 30 September, 2015 at the Yu Chun Keung Memorial College No.2. New Student Leaders of this academic year are from student groups such as Christ Followers,“Advancement”(Student Union), Association of Senior Form Students, the Four Houses, Library Prefects, Information Technology Prefects, Animal Ambassadors and Sunshine Ambassadors, exacta.

Student Leaders are “Salt of the Earth”and “Light of the World” as mentioned in Matthew. Student Leaders are to let the light shine before people, glorifying God in the Heaven.

Mr. Stephen Li, the Principal, pointed out that not all leaders are born with characteristics and qualities needed for being a leader. Instead, one can become a leader through working hard in learning and self-cultivation. Mr. Li quoted William Jack Baumol, Princeton University Professor, as saying that an entrepreneur should have ten conditions, such as decisiveness, ability to respond to changes, and willingness to take up challenges. Besides, there are also ten kinds of abilities essential for being a capable leader: ability to judge, creativity, logicality, a plan-oriented mind, insightfulness, persuasiveness, being able to put herself in someone else's place, ability to solve problems, being able to train subordinates, and to motivate them.

Over the years, owing to our teacher’s effort, YCK2 students have been approaching perfection in their development. Mr. YEUNG, Chung Yin (F6C), the Chairperson of the Student Union of last academic year, said serving as a Student Leader enabled him to communicate with people and to learn the importance of retrospection. He is thankful for the school's leadership training programme which allowed him to improve himself, being able to take up the responsibilities with other students and establish an exemplar.

Shouldering responsibilities and honouring promises are important signs of one's reaching maturity. Upon receiving certificates of appointment from Principal Li, the new Student Leaders made a promise with candle lights before the audience that they will serve the school with utmost effort and uphold the spirit of cooperation in order to build a healthy and harmonious school.

Upholding Catholic Education Principles, the Yu Chun Keung Memorial College No. 2 is dedicated to filling the learning environment with love and care. Moreover, the College provides students with diversified learning opportunities, so that students can develop life-long abilities and become the members of the new generation who are confident and able to appreciate themselves to a moderate degree.

余振強紀念第二中學於九月三十日舉行「領袖生交職禮」，延續委身服務的精神。本學年新一屆的領袖生包括基督青年團、學生會、學長聯會、四社、圖書館風紀、資訊科技風紀、關懷大使和陽光大使等。

領袖生，是瑪竇福音「地上的鹽」、「世界的光」。領袖生就是要勇於把自己的善行光照人前，光榮在天的父。

李校長指領導者的特性和品質並非全是與生俱來，而是可以透過學校學習，努力訓練和培養。他引用美國普林斯頓大學教授威廉•傑克•鮑莫爾，提出領導者應具備十項條件：合作精神、決策能力、組織能力、精於授權、善於應變、勇於負責、勇於求新、敢擔風險、尊重他人及品德超人。此外，有效的領袖，也同時兼備十項能力，包括：判斷、創造、思維、規劃、洞察、勸說、對人理解、解決問題、培養下級及調動積極性等等。

多年來，振強學生得到師長的教導栽培，成長確愈趨美善。去屆學生會會長楊頌賢同學(6C)表示領袖生的角色，讓他學懂了與人溝通和自我檢討的重要。他感謝學校的領袖訓練，讓他不斷進步，有能力與同學一起承擔使命，建立榜樣。

肩負責任，重視承諾，是成長重要的標誌。新一屆領袖生從李校長手中接過委任狀後，便以燭光為記，在老師和同學面前，承諾以熱誠服務、盡忠職守、團結合群的精神，完成任務，共同建設和諧健康的校園。

余振強二中秉承天主教辦學理念，致力營造充滿愛與關懷的校園氛圍，並為學生提供多元的學習經歷，讓學生建立終身能力，成為負責任、充滿自信及能欣賞自我的新一代。
