Accompanied by the national anthem, hundreds of graduates, prize-winners and guests gathered for Cheung Chau Government Secondary School's 35th speech day.
Guest-of-honour was Wan Ho-kan, founder of Junior Red Cross, president of the Outlying Islands District Association and an old friend of the school.
Former principals, teachers and students reminisced about their time at the school.
Principal Ku Chak-fun said students had made a marked improvement in sports.
Students from the school won three championships at the Tsuen Wan and Islands District Inter-school Sports Competition, in basketball, table-tennis and field and track events.
Mr Ku said the school's goal was to improve students' academic performance, nurture initiative in learning and lateral thinking, consolidate their language foundation, and strengthen learning through information technology.
