True Light College 50th Anniversary Variety Show: Golden Jubilation

 With the beautiful voices of Why We Sing resonating in the Jockey Club Auditorium, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the thunderous applause on the curtain call after the musical, the Variety Show literally ended on a high note to mark the commencement of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of Hong Kong True Light College on Saturday, 21st September.

Hong Kong True Light College was founded in 1975, located on Caine Road, and relocated to the current campus by the harbour on Ap Lei Chau in 1995. This year marks the fifth decennial celebration of the College. Started with the grand opening, a classical ballet performance presented by students in True Light. Over a hundred students put on a variety show showcasing their talent from the elegant Cheongsam dance, passionate Chinese dance, enchanting orchestral and choir performances, to the most anticipated musical, Children of Eden

The highlight of the show was the performance by Mr. Pun Chun Lai as the pianist and the school choir led by Ms. Chan Chung Ka. The school choir has performed quite a few shows over several occasions through the past few years; during the Jubilee, they had performed Why We Sing by Greg Gilpin. Their vocal delivery was truly captivating, leaving the audience of the Jubilee impressed with applause. Ms. Chan conducted the choir flawlessly as Mr. Pun put the icing on the cake with his transcending piano skills.

Our school teachers have also taken part in the show. Mr. Cheung Hoi Kit, Mr. Tsui Ki Fan, Mr. Wong Tak Hin and Mr. Wong Yat Sing had performed the song You Raise Me Up before the orchestra performance. Their sonorous voices, pleasant to the ears, left the entire audience clapping in astonishment.

The highly anticipated musical did not disappoint the audience at all. Their performance was nothing short of amazing, showcasing a blend of singing, dancing, and theatrical flair that left everyone in awe. The vibrant costumes and dynamic choreography created a festive atmosphere, inviting the audience to join in the celebration. The story at the Garden of Eden expressed the difficulties and complexities of family relationships, which many of us can relate to. That performance was surely a monumental and meaningful experience. 

The night ended on a high note after the musical, and the event wouldn’t have gone off smoothly without the generous support provided by our alumni, parent guests and above all, the guest of honours, Dr. Gloria Chan, Principal Assistant Secretary (Curriculum Development). “Students’ outstanding performance on stage is the result of their diligence, perseverance, commitment and unity. I sincerely congratulate the school on training the students with these priority values and attitudes,” said Dr. Chan at her closing remarks. She also reminded us of the priority values, which had been increased from 5 to 12 over these twenty years, including empathy and diligence. “They are all to introduce sustainable development and to teach life values to students all around the city.”

The Variety Show does not serve as a celebratory event, but a growing opportunity for our student body. One of the main cast in the musical, Hannah, who played Adam and Noah, shared what she had learned, “Really believe in yourself a lot… don’t underestimate yourself.’ She genuinely reckoned that confidence is key to a successful performance or a successful path and that at any time we should never underestimate ourselves or our potential. This lesson-to-take probably highlights and embodies the spirit of True Light. And the success of the evening has left all attendees wondering what’s more to come in our celebratory events in the year ahead.

Hong Kong True Light College The Centennial Enlightenment Project

Located on 1 Lei Tung Road, the‘1’symbolizes pioneering. Following the path of pioneering women’s education, True Light has been devoted to following the footstep of our founder Ms. Harriet Noyes, who pursued the sacrifical love of Jesus Christ. We are striving for fostering an all-round education. We also educate of the True Light traditions, which help our students to create and develop the community spirit of mutual help and love. We hope to nurture the spirit of
perseverance, sacrifice, and self-improvement.

Time flies. Thanks to the complete dedication of the School Sponsoring Body, principal, teachers and parents, our student are well-nurtured and greatly benefited by excellent resources. Hence, a lot of outstanding True Light girls have been raised to carry forward the school motto, Thou Art the Light of the World, and shines as the light of the world for Jesus Christ’s sake.
