From High School to University
Shiu Pong College 1st High Table Dinner (2017/2018)
Are you ready for the transition from high school to university? On September 19, 2017, College Master Professor Kenneth Leung presented to the new students with a seemingly simple, but profound question, which provoked students and guests to ponder deeply.
There were about 200 students and 15 guests attending this first High Table Dinner of SPC for AY 2017-18. As the keynote speaker, Master Leung contrasted the differences between high school and university education. For example, high school focuses on providing answers, while university focuses on asking questions; high school focuses on the acquisition of existing knowledge, while university education explores new knowledge; high school focuses on laying a foundation with segmented modules of knowledge; while university links up different disciplinary knowledge and develops in student the ability of lifelong learning. Steadfastly, Master Leung hoped that all students should maintain a sense of curiosity, pursue truth, and maintain kindness and elegance, asking questions courageously, living up to challenges, not fearing frustrations and mistakes, caring one another and connecting together as a loving family at SPC.
The dinner was interspersed with two wonderful performances, which received continuous applauses from students and guests. One was a piano solo by Sherry Huang, who played the tunes of “Melody of the Night #5” and “Bid Time Return”. Another was a Pipa solo by Octeven Gao, playing “Shi Mian Mai Fu.”
As it was the first time for year-1 students to attend a High Table Dinner at SPC, many stayed behind to take pictures of each other as their mementos.
從高中到大學: 你準備好嗎?
紹邦書院2017/2018學年第一次高桌晚宴順利舉行
紹邦同學，你們準備好從高中到大學的轉變嗎？在2017年9月19日的紹邦書院高桌晚宴上，梁偉賢院長向新生們提出了這個看似平凡、卻絕不簡單的問題，引起了學生和嘉賓們的深入思考。
這是紹邦書院2017/2018學年的第一次高桌晚宴，有近200名院生和15名嘉賓參與。梁偉賢院長在主題演講中為同學們分析了高中教育和大學教育的區別。例如，高中重在回答問題，大學重在提出問題；高中重在吸收舊知識，大學則要探索新知識；高中重在打基礎，讓彼此割裂的知識模塊從課程講授中吸收；大學則要把不同的知識模塊聯結起來，并鍛煉終身學習的能力。基於此，梁院長希望所有紹邦同學可以具備好奇心、追求真善美、勇於提問和接受挑戰、不怕挫折與犯錯，更能與他人彼此關愛連結、形成團隊。
在晚宴中，還穿插了兩次精彩的表演，讓嘉賓和同學們掌聲連連。一個是由黃數妍同學表演的鋼琴獨奏，《夜的鋼琴曲第五章》及《時光倒流》；另一個是由高慈君同學演奏的琵琶名曲《十面埋伏》。
眾多一年級的同學是第一次參加高桌晚宴，在結束之後仍不捨得離開，紛紛拍照留念。
