Message from the Principal

Dear Parents, Teachers, and Students,

As the new academic year arrives, I warmly welcome all students back to the Caritas Lok Yi School family. I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful summer break and is looking forward to the vibrant campus life ahead. It is my great honor to succeed Principal Mok Oi-ling, who has recently retired, as the new Principal of Caritas Lok Yi School. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Principal Mok for her years of dedicated leadership in guiding our school to "serve with love," as well as for her unwavering guidance to our students and continuous support for our entire staff. Her vision, leadership, and relentless pursuit of excellence have been the cornerstone of Lok Yi's success.

Outside the staff room hangs a banner featuring Mother Teresa's famous quote: "Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love." This is precisely what I aspire to do for our Lok Yi children. As the poem says, "Though the moon may wane, it glows bright as snow; high above in the sky, who would call it incomplete?" Although the path of education is filled with challenges, having walked, grown, and learned alongside my colleagues and students over the years, I am deeply committed to taking on greater responsibilities for our Lok Yi children. I am also profoundly grateful to our parents and teachers—your trust and support provide the fertile soil in which our students can thrive.

Today, I would like to share with you my vision for Caritas Lok Yi School—a simple yet profound concept embodied in four letters: L.O.V.E.. Each letter represents our educational team's convictions and commitment, guiding our path so that we can better educate every student through "Love."

• L – Learning: At Caritas Lok Yi School, I firmly believe that every student is a unique learner. Therefore, we emphasize Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) tailored to each student's specific needs and abilities. We employ diverse teaching strategies to encourage exploration and help students discover the joy of learning. My hope is that every student discovers their own way to learn and nurtures a lifelong passion for knowledge.

• O – Opportunity: I believe that every student deserves an equal opportunity to learn. Here, we foster an inclusive environment that provides comprehensive social and emotional support to help students realize their full potential. Our goal is to empower every student to confidently embrace every challenge in school and in life beyond.

• V – Value: Education is not merely the transmission of knowledge; it is the cultivation of core values. We encourage students to recognize and respect the inherent worth of themselves and others, building good character through practical action.

• E – Empowerment: We aim to build our students' self-confidence so that each child can become the master of their own life. Close collaboration between our school and residential home provides rich resources and strong support, enabling students to make continuous progress both inside and outside the classroom. We believe that when students are empowered, they gain the courage to face challenges and pursue a life of dignity and quality.

These four letters—L.O.V.E.—uphold Caritas Hong Kong's spirit of "Love in the Service of Hope" and represent my educational philosophy for our Lok Yi children. My goal is to create a learning environment overflowing with love and care, enabling every student to flourish under the guidance of Catholic core values. Let us join hands to sow seeds of hope for every student's future.

Dear parents, teachers, and students, let us work together under the vision of "L.O.V.E." to build a campus filled with love and laughter.
