蛻變十年
歷任教職員、家長、舊生感言

回頭已是十年了。

「大家努力，一定要在明天開學前做好所有設定，辛苦大家」這句話是我在2009年8月31日晚上，在校內跟資訊科技組組員說的。當時大家仍忙於準備第二日開學的工作，希望可以有最佳的設備供師生使用。

雖然我已在夢芹下午校工作了十年，但在銀禧開學初期，仍然有不少「人」和「事」要去適應，但感恩這一切很快就適應下來，亦讓我有機會嘗試不同的工作。而在陸國森校長的帶領及同工的努力下，銀禧在區內逐漸得到坊眾的支持和認同，

不經不覺銀禧已經十周年，而我亦離開「母校」接近三年了，但我仍然懷念銀禧的一切。願上帝繼續祝福銀禧，能夠作鹽作光，教養孩童，實踐基督使命。

I am thankful to God for granting me such incredible memories from my Lovely Students and my Passionate Colleagues at Jubilee. My students were sincere and affectionate. They really cared about one another, and always did their best for me. They were warm-hearted and generous too. We developed a close relationship and I would say they are now my friends. I will cherish the years we spent together. My colleagues and I put every effort in to inspire creativity and meaningful methods to motivate and encourage students to learn and to grow. We are not only colleagues but good partners. I am delighted to have worked with them in the past. All of them are always On My Mind!

May God bless the students and the teachers in Jubilee with Lots of Wonder and Joy in the future! God be with You!

光陰似箭。轉眼間，踏足阮鄭校園已是二十年前的事。

我是阮鄭下午校的一名插班生。雖然只有短短兩年半的日子，但我對母校卻有着深厚的感情，有很多事仍歷歷在目，與很多人仍保持聯繫。猶記得第一天上學便認識了第一個朋友，昔日我們一起學習、一起打羽毛球、一起表演；今天我們仍是好朋友，每次相聚仍有談不完的話題，還一起旅行過聖誕及新年以慶祝我們長達二十載的友誼，實在非常感恩。

我也很感激母校老師們及同學們給予我的機會、對我的信任及栽培，讓我可以參與不同的活動及擔任不同的角色，從而增廣見聞、開闊眼界、建立自信、提升能力、發揮所長，確是「良師益友，切磋砥礪，培育心靈」。願每位同學都抱持非以役人乃役於人的心，並謙卑學習好好裝備自己，與神與人同行，同造美好將來！

感恩老師的教導及陪伴

還記得，上學第一天我因忘記帶文件而擔心不已；中學派位結果未如理想而對前途感到迷惘；勝出比賽而喜出望外。當我感到傷心和開心時，老師都會安撫我的情緒，一起尋找解決方法和分享快樂。雖然我在下午校只就讀四至六年級，但老師在我心中留下他們陪伴我成長的片段人依然歷歷在目，為當年緊張怕事的我提供很多養份，讓我有很多的勇氣面對成長路上的種種挑戰。

小學於很多人而言是模糊的，但對我來說，即便過了十多年，當時的點滴仍是清晰的落印在腦海中。

我是一位轉校生，在二年級時才加入夢芹銀禧這個大家庭。曾經不明白為何媽媽堅決要我轉校，與原來的同學仔分開，但現在回看一切，我十分感激媽媽為我作了這個重要的決定。

因為，在夢芹銀禧，我遇見了一位對我十分重要的啟蒙老師，我遇見了人生中最要好的朋友，更重要的是，我認識了天父，得著上帝一直的帶領和祝福。

回想在夢芹銀禧的五年裏，我由戰戰兢兢的一個小女孩變成「橫行無忌」的大女孩，我學懂了勇敢去嘗試不同的事情，我學懂了犯了校規後要承擔責任，我學懂善良、謙卑和分享。 全賴師長的悉心照顧和栽培，讓我在人生的漫漫長路上向著正確的方向前進。

感謝夢芹銀禧，感謝與我在夢芹銀禧上相遇相識的每一位，你們成就了我美好快樂我小學生活，更是我回憶中不可或缺的一部分。

六年小學生活有很多值得感恩的事。最值得一提的是我校的復活節崇拜，還記得每年復活節將近，老師都會在每年級選兩位學生參與崇拜，並到台前獻上心心作奉獻。很慶幸六年的復活節崇拜我都能夠參與其中，奉獻的時候我們要一起説：「萬物皆從主而來 我們把從主而得的獻給主。」

小時候的我或許不太明白這句説話的意思，長大後，在信仰中了解更多，發現這句話對我的人生很有幫助。感謝母校在我們還小的時候在我們心中埋下一粒種子，沒有人知道種子何時會發芽，但因為老師們給了我們一個機會，以致往後的日子我們能夠茁壯成長。

最後很想藉這個機會感謝四位我很敬佩的老師：梁老師、程老師、馬老師和杜老師，他們在我六年的校園生活給了我很多祝福，令我有一個很開心的童年，很感謝你們的教導和照顧。

屈指一算，原來今年已經是從母校畢業的第14年，現在我已經踏入社會工作。雖然小學生活已經過去很久，可是當年老師們的諄諄教誨卻一直深深刻在我的心中。記得高小時我十分調皮，儘管如此，夢芹的老師仍然對我百般關懷愛護。當中細節在此不詳述，但現在回憶起依然暖在心頭。

感激夢芹老師默默播種耕耘，當年黃總校長曾訓勉我們，"芹"是一種有香氣的植物，"夢芹"意指"夢想成為一個有用的讀書人"。現在我成為一位社工，希望把老師當年給我的愛延續下去，為世界帶來一點點改變。

I would admit that it is not an easy task to retrieve my primary school memories. Those good old days, almost a decade ago, were full of moments of simple happiness and innocence, something that I miss a lot as an adult.

In my memory, a regular school day started like this - I was on duty as a prefect at the front gate, greeting and welcoming my fellow schoolmates back to our lovely campus. Some of them returned a smile, some might shy away. While waiting to go to the classrooms, they chattered about their favorite cartoon and compared with each other to see whose parents were the best.

I cannot recall what exactly was taught in the class, one thing I am sure of is that the teachers were very nice and patient, even to noisy students like me. The textbooks were inevitably boring, so everyone was basically waiting for the break, then they could rush to the tuck shop for snacks and chase each other along the corridor for fun. Sometimes I might stay in the library as the head librarian, and my favorite part is the exclusive power to use the barcode scanner helping schoolmates borrow books - what a privilege for a 11-year-old.

When school was finally over and everyone could not wait to escape from the lectures, I stayed behind for drama team rehearsals once every week. The play I did was an adventure into the woods and the main characters had to fight against the villain. It was a tough yet rewarding training for me to be confident and adaptable, which is something more important and long-lasting than textbook knowledge.

All these little anecdotes can still make me smile when thinking about them. For most people, primary school is where they shape their own character and make the first batch of friends in their life. Even after so many years, I can still remember the life lessons I have learnt as a kid. Therefore, I am very grateful to YCMC(PM) for providing me with an all-loving environment where I grew up happily and heathily, that helped define who I am today.

This year we celebrate the 10th anniversary with joy, for all the achievements our principals, teachers and students have made in the past decade. Let us all be forward looking and work together to create better memories for the years to come, so one day we can reunite and reminisce the good old days again.

My fond memories of YCMCJ are too many to count, but they date back to knowing my multiplication table in a Primary-2 classroom. This was the first occasion I felt as though I had ever exhausted so much of my brainpower.

Fast forward a year, I found myself in a public speech competition. My first-ever presentation outside of the classroom was the result of hours of guidance from my then English teacher who had challenged me with understanding and supervision. The art of presentation I would then master for the remainder of my life in general, and for my career in particular, stems from this very experience.

My recollection of making two exchange trips to Singapore during the years that followed is still very much vivid. The nights at graduation camp singing karaoke are also highlights of my time at YCMCJ.

I’m proud to be an alumnus here because the place I called home for 6 good years was where my personal and academic growth was always in safe hands.

“Grown-up”, it’s not something easily defined, yet every child once longed for it. I was no exception. Ever since I was little, I have been trying to prove it. To parents, to teachers, to friends, to anyone around me. There wasn’t a day I spent not hoping that I could grow up faster. It wasn’t until later that I realise, growing up is not something that simple. Growing up is a journey. Hidden behind these two little words is everything that shaped the person. The time they spent, the work they put in; there are some successes, but lot more failures; every person that appeared in their life, some would be important, but countless just passing by.

If I have to leave words for the juniors, it would be like this: Have fun, enjoy every single moment of your school life. Whenever you feel down, remember the way you came through, and know that you have never been alone. Time doesn’t stop, so keep moving forward. You would only stop growing up when you decide to. Don’t let others decide your path, because the only person who can stop you from growing up, is yourself.

Seems like only yesterday when I put on that graduation gown and left the place I called home for the past six years. And now, in a blink of an eye, I was entering the fourth year of my secondary school life. Looking back on those years, I remember all the happy memories YCMCJ nurtured, giving me a primary school life that I wouldn't trade for anything. I would like to especially thank my classmates for my final two years in YCMCJ, 2015-2016 Class 6C.

I remember all the crazy moments we had together, how we sang our class song Yesterday Once More day after day, and how we laughed at Peppa Pig like 3-year olds. And to my dearest teachers, I thank you for all your patience. I know it wasn't an easy task taking care of us and nurturing us to be the leaders of tomorrow, but you never gave up on us. If it wasn't for all of you, I wouldn't even be near to who I am now. Most of all, I thank the school for giving me the safest and happiest environment possible to grow up and explore in. It was never stressful, never lonely, never upsetting. It was always just a never-ending cycle of curiosity and delight. Thank you, YCMCJ, for my golden childhood and I wish you a happy anniversary.
