校長的話


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.
