| 各位親愛的家長及同學： |

Dear parents and students, | ||||
| 教育局於7月10日宣佈全港學校提早放暑假。事實上，由復課起，四至六年級學生回校只有23天，而一至三年級學生更只有18天。由於回校人數亦不算太多，部分跨境生及自行選擇留在家中的人數也不少，故學校堅持在下午透過Microsoft Teams為未能回校的同學進行遙距授課，好讓他們可以持續學習。 |

The Education Bureau announced on 10 July that all schools in Hong Kong would commence their summer holiday early. Since class resumption, P.4-P.6 students returned to school for only 23 days, and P.1-P.3 students even returned for only for 18 days. As not many students returned to school, and there was a great number of cross-border students and students who chose to stay at home, therefore our school had diligently taught these students through afternoon Microsoft Teams online classes in order for them to continue learning. | ||||
香港的疫情日趨嚴重，第三波疫情再度肆虐香港，並迅速蔓延開來。家長及同學們要盡量留在家中，減少外出，並時刻保持個人衞生，免受感染。我明白整天留在家中是一件悶透的事，但我們要學會苦中作樂，這也是一種鬥志的磨練。網上有很多免費的學習資源，特別是英文故事，我推薦大家可以在這個暑假中，嘗試多「看」書、多「聽」書、多「說」書。順道給你們預告一下：學校明年將會與不同機構合作，進行話劇活動，當中有專上學院、劇團、教育局等等⋯⋯我們也相當榮幸，能夠邀請到教育局校本支援組（英文）於明年到校協助，小組的負責人封小姐介紹了一個有趣又有意義的網站，讓我們可以閱讀更多不同的英文故事，我也想藉此向大家推介一下網站中的一個沁人肺腑的故事：小女孩Marcenia為着自己的夢想——成為一位職業球員而不斷努力，為的無非是一個機會，她知其不可而為之，當世俗的人皆不支持她，而她卻排除萬難，奮發圖強。最終她一步一步達成願望，過程雖然辛酸艱苦，但她卻無悔無憾。我期望各位可以像Marcenia般始終如一，堅持自己的夢想。(https://www.storylineonline.net/books/catching-the-moon-the-story-of-a-young-girls-baseball-dream/) | ||||
The epidemic in Hong Kong is becoming more critical with each passing day. The third wave of the coronavirus disease continues to spread and wreak havoc in Hong Kong. Parents and students should stay at home, don’t go out so much, always maintain personal hygiene to prevent being infected. I understand that staying at home all day must be so boring, but we need to learn to seek joy amid hardship. Plus, this would be a good chance to strengthen our willpower. There are various free learning resources online, especially English stories. I recommend that everyone could “read” more books, “listen” to more books, and “read aloud” more books this summer holiday. Let me take this chance to announce in advance: next year, our school will collaborate with many organisations to present drama activities, including Hong Kong Community College, theatrical companies, the Education Bureau, etc. We are very honored being able to invite the School-based Curriculum Development Team (English) to assist the school this coming year. The person in charge, Ms. FUNG has recommended some fascinating and meaningful websites for us to read more English stories. I also want to take this opportunity to share a touching story from the website: a little girl called Marcenia fought for her dream to become a professional football player; she knew that she only had a hundred to one shot at success but she still carried on. When the whole world did not support her, she still strove against all criticism, she worked even harder and was incredibly determined to prove to the world that she is capable of success. Finally, step by step, her dream came true. Although it was an arduous journey, she had no regrets. I hope that we can all focus on our goals like Marcenia and have a clear conscience in life.

是次提前放暑假的時間倉卒，在學生們放假後，我們立即進行各項緊急會議安排善後工作。同學們雖然不能回校，但我們繼續使用Microsoft Teams向同學講課。而經我們審慎考慮後，決定陸續安排家長到校取回學生的物件。當我們與學生及家長見面時，大家互相寒暄問候，為彼此打氣支持：我們要共同努力，齊心對抗疫症！張鴻釗主席亦送贈一些物資給有需要的家庭，家長們希望我向張主席轉達他們的謝意，多謝張主席的關心及支持。 | ||||
The short notice before the summer holiday caused our arrangements to be unsatisfactory, therefore, we immediately had a wide array of emergency meetings to handle the aftermath. Although students cannot return to school, we will continue using Microsoft Teams to teach students through online lessons. After careful consideration, we have decided to make arrangements for parents to come pick up students’ belongings in turn. When we saw parents and students, we greeted each other warmly, caught up with each other and cheered for each other. Let’s work hard together to fight the virus! Our honorary president and school manager, Mr. CHEUNG Hung-Chiu, Stewart donated some materials to the family in need. They asked me to convey their gratitude to Mr. CHEUNG and they feel warm and concerned. Thank you very much for his care and support. | ||||
這兩年我們致力推行「家長也敬師運動」，目的是希望家長能利用文字表達他們對學校、對老師的感恩之情。想不到，我也收到一些心意卡，實在令我喜出望外。因為老師站在前線應該是最需要支持鼓勵的，而我只是在背後盡力做好學校的行政工作。然而，家長對我的稱賞實在讓我大喜過望，同時也是對本人及學校的一份肯定，本人對此心存感激，同時也答應大家本人定當為學校力求進步，勇往直前。 | ||||
Over these two years, we have strongly promoted the“Parents-Also-Appreciate-Teachers Drive”. The aim of the Drive is to allow parents to show their appreciation towards the school and teachers using words. As teachers are at the frontline, while I am fulfilling the school’s administration work, they really need all of our support and encouragement. Yet the praise that I receive from parents makes me feel elated, and at the same time, it is a recognition for me and our school. Thus, I feel so grateful for your praise and I promise that I will carry on striving for excellence.

疫情越來越嚴峻，政府於七月下旬宣佈收緊限聚令，要求餐廳禁絕堂食，聚集人數限於二人。抗疫期間大家難免會感到有些不習慣，每天戴著口罩又可能會感到有點兒辛苦，我是明白的，但相信這些日子很快會過去了吧！東坡先生教會我們:「回首向來蕭瑟處。歸去，也無風雨也無晴。」我們要撐下去啊！抗疫有如行軍打仗，戰役中只要誰能堅持不懈，誰就能戰勝對方。我們每一位也是這場戰役中的領軍元帥，只要我們能夠克盡己任就能帶領香港走出疫症陰霾，我們一起加油吧！ | ||||
The epidemic is becoming more serious, and the government has tightened the prohibition on group gathering to two people and restaurants have a “no dine-in” restriction. Everyone aren’t used to the anti-epidemic practices. Having to wear a mask daily is tough, I understand that, but I am sure that these hard times will pass! Mr. Dongpo taught us that, “ Looking back over the bleak passage survived,/ The return in time /Shall not be affected by windswept rain or shine.” We need to persevere! Fighting the virus is like fighting a war. In a war, the side that can stand their ground will win. An army that is burning with righteous indignation is bound to win. Each of us is a general in this war, so only we can lead Hong Kong out of the epidemic haze. I am looking forward to our come back. Let’s cheer up! | ||||
在此特別想跟六年級的畢業生說聲對不起，來去匆匆，沒有機會跟你們好好道別，本來安排好的畢業典禮及畢業聚餐統統都被迫取消。一位出家人曾跟我說：「人生沒有再見，因為每一見都是獨一無二的。」但我深信我們之後還是會再次見面的，而他日再遇你們之時，你們都會破繭成蛾，化蛹成蝶，飛得更高，走得更遠。劉德容的大門永遠會為你們打開。僅在此祝願各位志存高遠、不負青春、百事稱心。六年級畢業片連結 | ||||
I would like to say sorry to our P.6 graduates for not having a chance to say goodbye to you. The graduation ceremony and graduation gathering meal that were originally planned had been cancelled. A parent once said to me, “There is no “see you again” in life because every meeting is unique to that exact moment.” However, I do believe that we will see each other again, and when that day comes, you would have all come out of your cocoons and become butterflies, flying high and going far. The door of LTY will always be open for you. I wish you all have great aspirations, have a fulfilling youth and have a smooth journey.

剛剛在七月尾，收到之前所提及的「親子頭條」訪問的林小姐通知，相關訪問已經「出街」了。閱讀後，心中覺得很感動，我們的努力可以向外發佈，亦希望多些人真正認識我們。我們有一群有愛心、有理念、有學歷的老師為學校發展出盡心思。未來我們會以創新、以學生為本去設計不同的學習活動給我們的學生。昔日。蘇校長其中一個發展學校的口號是「經歷為本」。我們會以「經歷為本2.0」加以發展，設計一些動手學習及學習中被感動到的活動，稱為「感動課程」(Touching Curriculum)。正如訪問中的下午新安排，詳情我們日後會再向大家說明，請拭目以待。「親子頭條」訪問連結 | ||||
At the end of July, I am informed by the Education Program Associate, Ms. Lam from “Parenting Headline’. The interview we did before is published. After reading it, I am touched. Our endeavor has been issued and recognized. We wish more people to know us that we have a group of teachers who have love, ideas, qualification to develop the school with their exertion and creativity. In the coming future, we are going to focus on innovation, student-oriented to design different learning activities to our students to learn. In the past, our former Principal, Mr. So had one of the slogan called ‘Experience-oriented’. Now, it is evolved to ‘Experience-oriented 2.0’ which is called “Touching Curriculum”. It is about what we mentioned in the interview that the new arrangement in the afternoon in the next academic year. Details will be launched later and please to rub your eyes in anticipation.
