Setting ourselves a good role-model,
Teaching our students to help each others
Teachers Against SARS Campaign


Since SARS invaded Hong Kong nearly two months ago, the city has been shrouded in doom and gloom. Our city has been hard hit by the outbreak. Victims died and unemployment inexorably surges. Our city is in an emergency. Being the citizens of Hong Kong, we are interdependent with one another. The other will not thrive if one withers. Now, we must stick together in the spirit of joining forces to fight SARS. We have launched the "Teachers Against SARS" Campaign to mobilize all our teachers to donate money to help SARS victims and bereaved families. We have to set ourselves a model for our students, showing them that social cohesion is essential to fight a protracted battle against SARS. Under the terrible blow, let us hand in hand help restore Hong Kong to normalcy.
