* Complimentary afternoon tea will be served

Come meet your friends, alumni, and former teachers. You are welcome to bring guests along too!

At this year's gathering, Rev. Steve Hackman, our head of Christian and Community Development, will share with you a meaningful Seeds of Hope event in celebration of Yew Chung's 85th Anniversary:

This summer, Steve will be walking a 2000 km pilgrimage from Canterbury Cathedral in England to the Vatican in Rome to raise funds for Kids International Ministries to build a new secondary school in an impoverished area outside Manila in the Philippines.

We invite all YCers / YWers in the UK to be part of the ceremonial launch on June 1, and you are also welcome to join the walk for the first 2 short distance days to the English Channel. Steve will share more details on Feb 3.

FROM OUR COMMUNITIES

Learning Is to Discover the Undiscovered – Haruka Ostley

Haruka is a multidisciplinary artist (painter/ muralist/ performer) who hails from Japan. Growing up and living across four different continents allows her to easily work with people from different backgrounds, and has given her art work a bigger variety and style! Both Haruka and her husband Gabe Ostley used to work as Artists-In-Residence in YCIS Hong Kong and eventually worked in different campuses across China. Although Haruka left Yew Chung in 2014, her story with us doesn’t just end there!

Former Students Share Real Life Stories for Teacher Insights

To highlight and promote good practices in teaching, Yew Chung and Yew Wah held an "E-Learning Professional Development Days" event on November 27-28, 2020. Apart from the university professors and education experts who spoke during the event, we also invited four alumni to share their views – Ms Kwan Ki Sze, YCIS Hong Kong Class of 2008, Mr Able Chang, YCIS Shanghai Puxi Class of 2009, Mr Liping Lin, YCIS Shanghai Pudong Class of 2012, and Ms Bethany Ru, YCIS Shanghai Puxi Class of 2018. Our alumni brought valuable former-student perceptions to help our educators better understand the core needs of a Yew Chung or Yew Wah student.
