Chinese New Year Message
As we welcome the Lunar New Year on February 17, 2026, we joyfully usher in the Year of the Fire Horse. In the Chinese culture, the Horse symbolizes courage, independence, and a pioneering spirit, while the element of Fire brings passion, ambition, and dynamic energy.
Together, the Fire Horse represents determination, bold vision, and the confidence to embrace new opportunities.
The Year of the Fire Horse (February 17, 2026 – February 5, 2027) is a time traditionally associated with high spirits, transformative momentum, and new possibilities. It calls us to move forward with bravery, enthusiasm, and resilience—qualities that resonate deeply within our school community.
This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate the 50th Golden Foundation Anniversary of our school. For five decades, we have journeyed together in faith, learning, and service. As a Catholic school community, we recognize with gratitude the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit throughout our history.
In the past, the Holy Spirit inspired our founders with vision, courage, and steadfast faith, laying strong foundations upon which generations of students have grown. In the present, the Holy Spirit continues to guide our educators, staff, students, and families—strengthening us with wisdom, unity, and compassion as we face new challenges and opportunities. In the future, we trust that the Holy Spirit will lead us forward with renewed zeal, helping us to remain faithful to our mission while embracing innovation and growth with confidence.
Just as fire symbolizes energy and renewal, may the Spirit’s flame continue to ignite in us a passion for truth, service, and excellence. May we be bold in hope, generous in love, and steadfast in faith as we build upon our golden legacy.
As we celebrate both the Lunar New Year and our Golden Foundation Anniversary, may the Year of the Fire Horse bring courage to pursue our dreams, strength to overcome obstacles, and joy in our shared journey.
Wishing you and your families a blessed, peaceful, and prosperous Lunar New Year.
恭喜恭喜
新年快樂
天主保佑
2026年中國農曆新年賀詞
值此公曆2026年2月17日新春來臨,亦是中國傳統農曆丙午火馬之年。
在中華傳統文化中,馬象徵奮發進取、剛健自立與開疆拓土之志。馬之精神,正契合此種剛毅前行、不懈奮鬥之氣質。而火於中華傳統五行之中,主光明與生發,象徵熱忱、志向與旺盛生命力。
火與馬相遇,寓意志氣昂揚、膽識遠見、敢為人先——象徵把握機遇、勇拓新局之信心與決斷。
丙午火馬年(公曆2026年2月17日至2027年2月5日),在中國傳統上被視為氣象高昂、動能轉化、萬象更新之一年。召喚我們以勇氣、熱忱與堅韌前行——此等品格,亦深深植根於我們的校園共同體之中。
今年尤具深意,我們將迎來學校五十週年金禧校慶。
五十年來,我們在信仰、求知與服務中攜手同行。作為一所天主教學校,我們懷著感恩之心,承認聖神於歷史長河中恆常的臨在與引導。
在過去,聖神啟迪創校先賢,使其懷抱遠見與勇氣,憑堅定信德奠定穩固根基,使一代又一代學子得以成長。
現在,聖神繼續引領教育工作者、教職員工、學生與家庭,在挑戰與機遇中賜予我們智慧、合一與仁愛。
在未來,我們深信聖神必以更新的熱忱帶領我們前行,使我們在忠於使命的同時,勇於創新,穩健發展。
正如火象徵光明與更新,願聖神之火常燃於我們心中,點燃對真理的熱愛、對服務的奉獻、對卓越的追求。
願我們在望德中剛毅,在愛德中慷慨,在信德中堅定,共同承繼並拓展這份金色傳統。
新歲祝願
在我們共慶中國新年與金禧校慶之際,願丙午火馬之年帶給我們:
追逐理想的勇氣
克服困難的力量
同行共進的喜樂
謹祝各位及家人:
新春蒙恩,
闔府平安,
福業昌隆。
