Dear alumni and friends of Ying Wa,

It is with great sadness to bring you the news of Evelyn Griffin Jenkins passing peacefully at the home of the elderly in Kent, U.K. on 12 September 2021.  She was 91. 

A graduate of the University of Oxford, Miss Jenkins joined Ying Wa in October 1956, teaching History, English and Scripture.

Miss Jenkins was a quick, sharp thinker, and she was very lively.  Students were charmed by her warm, gentle style and youthful image.  She became Headmistress of Ying Wa in 1967.  Under her leadership, Ying Wa was charged with a new spirit of venture and made bold forays into fun events such as fashion and pop music. And unheard of in Ying Wa’s history, male students were admitted for the first time into the sixth form.  All these aroused in the youthful hearts of the students a sense of freshness and excitement.

In this issue, we continue to have sharing from some alumnae residing or studying overseas. Though they belong to different age groups (from over 70 to under 20), what is common is our strong feeling of friendship.  Enjoy reading!

In the run-up to our 120th anniversary (2020), Ying Wa is buzzing with excitement not only because we have returned to our Robinson Road campus, but also because we are ready to kick off a series of celebratory activities unparalleled in our history.

Share the joy with us by taking part in a wide range of carefully-curated events, including the 120th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service, the 120th Anniversary Open Days on 28 and 29 March 2020, and a musical performance, A Stargazer's Fantasy, on 4 and 5 July 2020 at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.  With our fun-filled programme of events, we hope to present to you a new horizon of Ying Wa, and affirm our devotion to girls' education in the 21st century.

Also keep an eye out for our publications and souvenir sale in the coming year.  An album dedicated to the redevelopment project and an anniversary school magazine are scheduled for March and November, 2020 respectively.  As for those who would like something more to mark this special occasion, look no further than the collectibles available at our souvenir sale.  Don't miss out on the chance to recapture the cherished moments of our 120-year-long journey.
