Student Leaders Inauguration Ceremonies 領袖生交職禮

2016-17 Student Leaders Passing Torches of Services

To pass on the spirit of service, our Student Leaders’Inauguration Ceremony was held on September 30, 2016. The organizations that the Student Leaders serve include Head Student, Christ Followers, Student Union, Prefects, Library Prefects, IT Prefects, Sunshine Buddy, Student Mentorship Scheme, STEAM Leaders, Sports Team Captain and the Four Houses.

During the ceremony, Principal Li told students to develop leadership skills through practice. Quoting Princeton University Professor William Jack Baumol, he said leaders should demonstrate capabilities in ten aspects, including cooperation, making decisions, organizing, authorizing teammates, adapting to changes, taking responsibilities, innovating, taking risks, respecting others and being a moral exemplar. Moreover, Principal Li pointed out that a successful leader must master the art of communication, safeguard core values of a team, and build enthusiasm in teammates.

Kristy Hung (6C) and Leung Hau Ying (6D), Student Leaders of last academic year, pointed out that Student Leaders must exhibit responsibility, confidence and perseverance, in addition to basic communication skills. They hope that the new leaders can take on missions together, set an exemplar for others and pass on the spirit of YCK2.

Bearing burden and keeping promises are important indicators of personal development. Receiving certificates of appointments from Principal Li, the new student leaders, with candle lights in hands, stood before teachers and students and pledged to build a harmonious school through services and cooperation.

2016-17領袖生委身服務薪火傳

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。本學年新一屆的學生領袖包括領袖生、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、STEAM大使、關懷大使、陽光大使及校隊隊長等。

李德輝校長指領袖的特質並非全是與生俱來，而是可以透過學習培養出來的。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，李校長還指出成功的領袖，要掌握溝通的藝術、持守團隊的核心價值、培養團隊的積極性及讓組員發揮所長。

去屆領袖生代表熊楚姍同學(6C)和梁巧盈同學(6D)指出領袖生必須具備溝通能力外，還要有「三心」，即責任心、自信心和恆心；寄語新一屆領袖生，一起承擔使命，建立榜樣，把「余二」的精神傳承下去。

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。
