What a beautiful start to the semester! On 7 September, we held our first High Table of the term—one of SJC’s most cherished traditions and the perfect way to bring our community together. 🎉
A huge welcome to our freshmen, a warm welcome back to our returning students, and a heartfelt welcome home to our alumni. We’re so happy to have you all as part of the SJC family as we begin a brand-new semester together. ✨
We were honoured to have Mr. Sunny YEUNG (Director of Estates, University of Hong Kong) as our Guest of Honour, performing on the Shakuhachi, alongside Miss KWOK Ka Ying on the Yangqin. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Asian music with us and for filling the evening—and our new term—with laughter and joy. 🎶

Here’s to a semester full of connection, culture, and wonderful memories at SJC.

What a historic day for St. John’s College! We are incredibly proud to announce that SJC has officially recaptured BOTH major inter-hall titles this academic year, bringing home both the Olma Challenge Rose Bowl and the Malayan Alumni Challenge Cup in the same year for the first time since 2012.

Presentation Day saw our hard-earned championship flags return home to the College in spectacular fashion. Our athletes' sweat, grit, and relentless dedication throughout the season culminated in an extraordinary haul: 9 red flags, 7 green flags, and 1 purple flag! A massive thank you to all the captains, players, coaches, and the entire SJC community for your unwavering support. Let’s carry this winning momentum into the next season!

We extend our sincere gratitude to Ms. Joanna Yuen, Managing Director at Live Nation (Hong Kong) Ltd., for being our guest speaker at the end of Term High Table. Her insightful speech offered valuable perspectives on the evolving landscape of live events and entertainment, emphasising the opportunities and challenges currently faced by industry professionals.
This last High Table of the semester, in addition to bidding farewell to the final-year students, also provides an opportunity to present a new scholarship - the “James and Michelle Memorial (JMMS*) Scholarship”. We are delighted to announce that Ms. Cheng Pui Kiu, Zelda has been awarded this year's JMMS Scholarship, the first recipient of this meaningful award with HKD5,000. Zelda, a Year 4 student in 8F Science & Law, has demonstrated outstanding leadership and dedication through her roles as Hockey and Athletic Captain, Choir Master and YSOC Chair. Her commitment, responsibility, and kindness have earned her this well-deserved recognition. Congratulations to Zelda!
We encourage all St. Johnians to continue striving for excellence and to reach their full potential. VIVA~

We were deeply honoured to have Professor Lau Chak-sing, BBS, JP, Dean of Medicine, HKU Vice-President and Pro-Vice Chancellor (Health), as our distinguished guest speaker. His insightful talk, “Innovations and Challenges in Medical Education and Research,” shed light on how shifting demographics are changing disease patterns, and on how the evolution of medical technology must keep pace. The Q&A session that followed was equally inspiring—Professor Lau shared from his own journey, leaving us all with much to reflect on. 🩺📚
What made the night even more special was the presence of our MBBS alumni who joined us, bringing together doctors from different eras under one roof. Old photos, familiar faces, and cherished memories—an uplifting reminder that SJC will always be your home.
Last but not least, 28 student leaders from Dream Compassioneers joining us for this special High Table, adding energy and fresh perspectives to the evening. It was truly inspiring to see our community come together in the spirit of service and learning.
