懷本承傳 逐新望遠 曾珮瑜校長
「十年樹木」 情繋芬芳
培植四十多年、屹立操場的校樹──白蘭,每天佇候在本校後門,初夏到臨,飄出淡淡花香,沁人心脾;風吹葉動,總覺陣陣清涼。今天如此撲鼻芬芳、賞心悅目,有賴多位前人的播種灌溉。白蘭樹雖已不復青年茂盛貌,但為了追本溯源,留住校樹最美一刻,我請畫家運用墨彩把它勾畫下來,展於校舍一隅,為校園增添幾分綠意、歸屬感與感恩之情。
思源感恩 薪火相傳
本校推行正向教育,以感恩為重。感恩之本在於思源,第一個「源」是上帝,是萬物之源,感謝上主賜予天地萬物、賜予寬廣校園、賜予豐富資源。第二個「源」是源遠流長的中華文化,回溯悠久中華傳統文化長河,感謝先哲前賢傳承優秀的中華文化,讓現代學子學習借鏡。本校本學年銳意營建中華文化室「譜藝軒」,陳列古雅中式傢具(源自蔡功譜家族)、六藝器物、書畫擺設等,創設中國語文、歷史、藝術、音樂等一體的學習園地,譜出充滿文藝氣息的空間,建立學生成功的光譜。第三個「源」是學科之源,本校早設探索世界科,帶領學生走進非物質文化遺產的世界探古尋源,並籌劃跨學科學習活動。學生透過思源,進而愛源、惜源,愛家愛國,培養正確的價值觀。
裝備求進 擁抱未來
面對未來社會對科技人才的殷切需求,本校積極開拓創新課程,讓學生從中學階段開始接觸創新科技,及早裝備未來所需能力。本校是首間中學獲得中國航空學會認證的「中國航空特色學校」,本學年開設航空校本課程,涵蓋航空原理、模擬飛行、無人機操作、航空職涯探索、結合各個學習領域元素等,培養跨學科整合、綜合思考及創新能力;鼓勵發展個人興趣與長處,在人工智能工具輔助下創造獨特、富「航空特色」的學習成果。另外,加強人工智能學習,從基礎編程、數據分析到人工智能應用,培養學生的邏輯思維與創新能力,並鼓勵參與校外比賽、提升科技素養、指引升學就業。
「百年樹人」 立德成才
我們除要不忘根本、汲取智慧,還要放眼未來、勇於創新。科技可以改變世界,但只有品德與感恩,才能讓世界變得更美好。《聖經》說:「凡事謝恩,因為這是神在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。」(帖撒羅尼迦前書5:18)本校繼續秉承校訓「忠誠為主,仁愛待人」,為學生提供多元而優質的學習機會,培育他們成為有恩有夢的未來棟樑。期盼每位學生在新學年裡,不但勤奮學習、善用科技、勇於探索,學業不斷進步,而且學會愛己愛人、感謝與關懷,成為才德兼備的人,造福家國,榮耀上帝的恩典。
Nurturing the Past, Embracing the Future

‘A Decade for Trees’ — A Fragrant Bond of Affection
Cultivated and standing tall in our school playground for over forty years, the school tree – the white champaca has graced the back gate with its quiet presence every day. As early summer arrives, its delicate fragrance wafts through the air, soothing the soul. When the wind rustles its leaves, a cool breeze follows. This fragance and beauty today depends on the efforts of our predecessors who sowed and nutured it. Though the tree no longer boasts its youthful lushness, I have commissioned an artist to honor its legacy and preserve its finest moment in ink and color. This painting is now displayed in a corner of our campus, adding greenery, a sense of belonging, and gratitude to our school.
Gratitude and Legacy — Passing it on
Our school promotes positive education, with gratitude at its core. Gratitude is rooted in remembering the source. The first ‘root’ is God — the source of all things. We thank Him for His creation, our spacious campus, and our abundant resources. The second ‘root’ is the long standing Chinese culture. We trace the rich history of traditional Chinese culture and express our gratitude to our ancestors for passing on this excellent heritage for modern students to learn from. This academic year, our school is dedictated to establishing a Chinese Culture Room, ‘Po Yi Hin’, furnished with antique-style Chinese furniture (donated by the Tsoi Kung Po family), classical artifacts from the Six Arts, calligraphy, and paintings. This creates a learning environment that integrates Chinese language, history, art, and music – a space imbued with rich artistic atmosphere, fostering students’ spectrum of success. The third ‘root’ is the source of academic disciplines. Our school has long offered the World Exploration subject, guiding students in uncovering the roots of intangible cultural heritage and organizing interdisciplinary learning activities. Through remembering, cherishing, and loving our roots, students cultivate patriotism and proper values.
Equipping for Progress — Embracing the Future
In response to the increasing demand for technological talent, our school is actively developing innovative curricula enabling students to engage with cutting-edge technology from the secondary school stage and equip themselves early with the capabilities required for the future. Our school is the first secondary school accredited by the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics as a ‘National Aviation-Focused School’. This academic year, we launched a school-based aviation curriculum covering aeronautical principles, flight simulation, drone operation, aviation career exploration, and integration with elements from various learning domains. The curriculum aims to foster students’ abilities in interdisciplinary integration, comprehensive thinking, and innovation, as well as encourage students to develop their personal interests and strengths, enabling them to create unique, aviation-featured learning outcomes with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. We also strengthen AI education — from basic programming and data analysis to AI applications — enhancing students’ logical thinking and creativity. Students are encouraged to join off-campus competitions, enhance technological literacy, and explore future academic and career paths.
‘A Century for People’—Virtue and Excellence
While we must remember our roots and seek wisdom from the past, we must also look ahead and dare to innovate. Technology may change the world, but only character and gratitude can make it a better place. As the Bible says: ‘Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.’ (1 Thessalonians 5:18) Our school continues to uphold its motto, ‘Faithful to God, Charitable to Man,’ providing students with diverse and high-quality learning experiences to nurture them into gracious, visionary leaders of tomorrow. In the new academic year, we hope every student will not only study diligently, harness technology, and explore boldly, but also learn to love themselves and others, be grateful and compassionate — becoming well-rounded individuals who will serve their country and bring glory to God.
延續感恩 與時競進 曾珮瑜校長
「好雨知時節,當春乃發生。隨風潛入夜,潤物細無聲。」感恩四十二年前蔡功譜家族的捐獻贊助,先賢蒙基督的大愛,在何文田忠孝街及牧愛街之間建立聖公會蔡功譜中學,成就芸芸學子。在歷任校長帶領下,學生在品格培育、學習成果、自學精神、創新思維、公開試成績、升學出路、服務表現、潛能發揮等皆不斷進步。全體教職員、多屆校友、學生家長引領及協助學生各展所長,回饋家庭、貢獻社會及國家,譜寫無數成功的光譜。前人為本校奠下優良厚實的基礎,我衷心致以崇高敬意和謝忱。
正向心理學之父馬丁.塞利格曼(Martin Seligman)研究發現,真實的幸福源於發現自己的美德及存在的價值,其中一種美德就是「感恩」。從小懂得感恩的孩子,心靈愉悅滿足,人生往往比較幸福。本校推行正向教育多年,冀盼透過感恩惜恩、品格優勢、成長思維、擁抱錯誤等學習,裝備學生敢於面對逆境與挑戰、善於發揮才能、樂於感激及關懷他人,從而提升幸福感。迎來持續創新的時代,我們努力發展創科教育、跨科組主題學習、中華文化教育等,配合正向教育課程,與不同校外機構及大專院校合作交流,讓學生立德成才,憧憬未來,敢想夢飛翔。
配合社會及國家發展,提倡創科教育是新趨勢。 沈祖堯教授認為喬布斯最成功的地方是他對人的了解,知道人需要什麼,改變了世界;世上機會無限,我們要擺脫框囿,發揮創意。本校本學年其中一個關注項目是「分享創意成果,建立自信」,旨在提升學生的創意思維、學習動機與效能,培養學生的創造力、解難能力、創科精神,透過展示、分享、比賽交流,增強自信及與成就感,並為社會撒下種子,栽培人才,趕上社會發展的步伐,與時競進。
《聖經》說:「教養孩童,使他走當行的道,就是到老他也不偏離。」(箴言22:6) 我們秉承校訓「忠誠為主,仁愛待人」,以陪伴及指導孩子一直走正確的路為重任,栽培他們學會知恩、感恩、惜恩,愛己愛人,造福家國,榮神益人,延綿不斷。願我們一起開展美好的新學年,一同前行、一同努力、一同進步,邁向殷盛的人生。
Continuing Gratitude and Advancement with the Times
Principal Tsang Pui Yu
” The good rain knows its season. When spring arrives, it brings life. It follows the wind secretly into the night, and moistens all things softly, without sound.” (“Welcome Rain on a Spring Night”, Du Fu) Thanks to the donation and sponsorship from the Tsoi Kung Po family, with the profound love of Christ, S.K.H. Tsoi Kung Po Secondary School was established between Chung Hau Street and Good Shepherd Street in Ho Man Tin forty-two years ago, benefiting generations of students. Under the leadership of former principals, students have continually progressed in character development, learning outcomes, self-directed learning, innovative thinking, public examination results, further education, service performance, and the realization of their potentials. With the support and guidance of the entire teaching staff, alumni, and parents, our students are able to excel in their strengths, contribute to their families, society, and the nation, and compose a spectrum of countless successes. Our predecessors has laid a good and solid foundation for the school, and I sincerely express my high respect and gratitude.
Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology, discovered that genuine happiness stems from uncovering one’s virtues and values of existence, with gratitude being one of those virtues. Children who know how to be grateful since childhood have a contented soul and tend to have a happier life. Over the years, our school has been promoting positive education by nurturing in students gratitude, character strengths, growth mindset, and the courage to embrace failure, so that they are able to face adversity and challenges, make good use of their talents, be grateful and caring for others, thereby enhancing their happiness. Ushering in an era of perpetual innovation, we are dedicated to developing innovation and technology education, cross-disciplinary thematic learning, and Chinese culture education. Together with our positive education curriculum, we collaborate with off-campus organizations and tertiary institutions, so that students can develop moral integrity, look forward to the future and dare to dream and fly.
In line with social and national development, promoting innovation and technology education is a new trend. Professor Sung Jao-yiu believes that the key to Steve Jobs’ success lies in his profound understanding of human needs, which reshaped the world. The world is full of infinite opportunities, so it is essential for us to get out of the box and be creative. One of our major concerns this academic year is “To build confidence through sharing creative achievements.” It aims at enhancing students’ creative thinking, learning motivation and effectiveness, fostering students’ creativity, problem-solving skills, and innovative spirit. Through showcasing, sharing, taking part in competitions and exchange activities, it can enhance self-confidence and sense of achievement. Simultaneously, we are sowing seeds for society, nourishing talents, keeping abreast of social development, and advancing with the times.
The Bible says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) Upholding our school motto, ‘Faithful to God and Charitable to Man,’ it is our solemn duty to accompany and guide children to always follow the right path, nurture them to recognize, appreciate, and cherish blessings, to love oneself and others, to benefit the family and the nation, and to glorify God and benefit mankind in an unceasing manner. May we start a wonderful new academic year together, move forward together, work together, make progress together, and move towards a prosperous life.
