Students taught a lesson

St Joseph's Anglo-Chinese School celebrated its 40th anniversary with two days of festivity, camaraderie, and a touch of solemnity.

Day One started with a prayer gathering, followed by a football match between the students and teachers for the Headmaster's Cup - which was won by the teachers.

The crowds then moved on to the many exhibitions and displays around the grounds that covered the school's history and revealed an impressive list of celebrities among the alumni.

Day Two started with students playing at the game stalls, followed by a tour of the school for parents.

The student football team then challenged the old boys to another game, but found they were no match for the older team, who took the Reverend Brother Paul Sun Cup.

One highlight of the day was the guest appearance of Cardinal John Baptist Wu Cheng-chung, who inspected a parade of the Road Safety Patrol, the Boy Scouts and the Red Cross.
