Prepare for exciting changes ahead, Form 5 graduates told

IN just 40 years, Hongkong has against all odds developed from a relatively obscure entrepot into a thriving industrial and financial economy. So, what made our society so successful today? Providing the answers to this question at the Baptist Lui Ming Choi Secondary School's speech day was Mr Lo Wai-kwok, winner of the 1992 Young Industrialist Awards as well as the 10 Outstanding Young Persons Selection.

''Hongkong's strategic geographical position and the political and economic environment gave us the prerequisites for success,'' said Mr Lo. ''Equally important is the efforts of Hongkong people, thanks to their talent and diligence.'' He said the school's Form 5 graduates would soon experience a momentous historical milestone in 1997. They should make use of such an opportunity to help Hongkong achieve further success.

''To face the many challenges, you have to prepare yourselves,'' he said.

Mr Lo suggested the ''3Cs'' concept for the graduates. The 3Cs are ''Challenge'', ''Change'' and ''Charge''.

No matter where the graduates would be heading after their graduation, Mr Lo hoped that they would tackle their tasks enthusiastically with the 3Cs.

In his report, principal Mr Cheng Cho-chak said the organisation of clubs and societies was becoming more and more the responsibility of students.
