Joy of Christmas @ Ricci Hall (Proposal)

Christmas @ Ricci Hall, in this year, brings together members of HKU and beneficiaries of Jesuit
Education to serve others at Ricci Hall. It is a Christmas-themed party for children 5-12 that may not
have the means of having a Christmas with their families. Supported by HKU Alumni and Jesuit
international network, Christmas @ Ricci Hall promotes Jesuit Education of ‘Men and Women for
Others’, family values and the holiday spirit. With this festive event and through the facilitation of
the volunteers, we hope to create an opportunity to engage parents together in helping to organise
the event for their children and to experience the true meaning of holy Christmas. Principals and
teachers of the Belilios Public School and the two invited primary schools are cordially invited to join
and share the joy of this meaningful occasion.

Service Award: Other Learning Experience is an important component for the New Senior School
Curriculum. However, many young students failed to benefit fully from the new academic reform

generously to the CRE 2012 @ CELA Career Related Experiential Learning Programme and make the
program free to all participants given that they are willing to serve the others through local social
enterprises or charities. To endorse the student’s effort, the best performing servicing team will be
awarded with the Outstanding Service Award. The winning team for this year is the Social
