Over the years, alumni have earnestly and diligently contributed to society. They have striven hard to establish their careers, witnessing and participating in effecting huge changes in Hong Kong along the way. They have never forgotten their roots at HKU and wanted to contribute in any way they can. A group of alumni, including Antony Leung, Evelyn Man, Stanley Chu, Yeung Pak-sing, Kenneth Tse, Fanny Lam, Mak Chai-ming, Christina Wong, Ernest Wong, Annie Chu, and Mabel Lee, among others, established the HKUGA Primary School and the HKUGA College aiming to provide innovative and high-quality teaching models, creating an environment conducive to pre-eminent learning for the younger generation. Their initiatives and hard work to make this dream come true have harvested fruitful results. There are impressive stories and visionary thoughts behind how these alumni fulfilled these new ideas and concepts in teaching and learning. They introduced Life and Career Education, Concept-based approach for Liberal Studies, Positive Education and Philosophy for Children to the local education arena, pioneering trials at the two schools sponsored by the Hong Kong University Graduates Association Education Foundation*. The success of the two schools and the school-plus model adopted for promoting quality education witness the enthusiasm and persistence of HKU alumni’s contributions to society, and their drive to uphold the motto of their alma mater : “Strive for Virtue, Quest for Truth”. * Hong Kong University Graduates Association (HKUGA) was established in the 1970s by a group of HKU graduates with the aim of furthering their bonds, friendships, professional development and ideals that the group had established as undergraduates, and to create an ongoing link with the University and enhance its reputation and development. Its members later established the Hong Kong University Graduates Association Education Foundation in 2000, and that Foundation set up and sponsored two schools under Direct Subsidy Scheme: the HKUGA Primary School and the HKUGA College. 89
