Major Events

As the highlight of fundraising events for school redevelopment, Ying Wa Girls’ School held an unprecedented Spring Bazaar on March 19. It was initiated and sponsored by alumnae. Thousands of products, ranging from handmade scarves to abalone, were sold at bargain prices. Alongside the bazaar were student performances and founder's day service. Nearly 10,000 students, alumnae, parents and teachers came and supported the event, contributing over $1.7M for the redevelopment of the Robinson Road campus. 

Fifty years of grace, a lifetime of good work, an evening of celebration …

Around 200 guests, teachers, alumnae and students joined our Thanksgiving Dinner as Ying Wa toasted the 50th anniversary of the ordination of Rev. C.C. Lee. Her illustrious service and guiding principles – "give up not, refuse not, fear not and have hope" – continue to inspire many in our Ying Wa family and Hong Kong. 

A big surprise awaited Rev. Lee that evening. Alumnae not only got together to present her with an album capturing many touching encounters through the years, but some were so moved by her past kindness that they made an unsolicited donation to the School Redevelopment Project, knowing it to be a cause close to her heart. Thanks to Rev. Lee and her well-wishers, $2.8 million was added to the School Redevelopment Fund in one evening.

Come and celebrate with us the 115th anniversary of Ying Wa !

On the back of the School’s redevelopment project and temporary relocation away from our home base, the celebration will prove to be one of the most special occasions Ying Wa is yet to experience. It will mark the beginning of our journey home to our brand new campus in Robinson Road.

Ying Wa is celebrating her 110th anniversary in 2010. The celebration year has already kicked off in September 2009. The major events are the Founder’s Day Dinner and the Thanksgiving Service held on 27 March 2010 (Sat).

Ying Wa celebrated the 105th Anniversary in 2005. Major events took place on 20 March, including the Thanksgiving Service and Anniversary Dinner were well attended by guests, alumnae & family, teachers and students.

On 26 March 2000, over 1700 people gathered at the Banquet Hall of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre enjoying a wonderful reunion evening with classmates and teachers.  Quite a number came from overseas for this occasion.
