New Building Project: Dormitory and Facility Extension Block

The Principal

Together We ATTEMPT Great Things

A warm hello to all UCCKE friends! This pamphlet will provide you with a clear idea of what a special school United Christian College (Kowloon East) – UCCKE is. The school is founded on God’s words with the vision of providing quality Christian school education to glorify His name. In the process of growth, the School has exhausted its facilities. With the aim of providing better facilities to the students and for future development, we are now adding a Dormitory and Facility Extension Block to our existing premises. We are inviting YOU to support our attempt to do great things for the glory of God.

For those who are members of our UCCKE family, I am glad to learn that you are eager to see the School develop and excel. I trust that you will support this building project with your utmost ability. For those who are Christians and for those who support quality Christian education, I believe that God is inviting you to participate in His ministry. Your prayer and possibly your financial support are crucial in advancing God’s ministry on earth. For those parents who are concerned for our future generations to be provided with quality education and would like to see Hong Kong prosper, your participation in this project is imminent to our success. It is beyond dispute that churches and Christian groups have made great contributions to education in Hong Kong. Many prestigious Christian schools have often been sought by parents for their children, and such graduates have influenced Hong Kong in all walks of life.

We believe that our school and students will be much blessed if more caring people are involved in this project. Your contributions, small or large, are essential and critical to the success of this building expansion project, to our future development and to the well-being of the future generations in receiving quality Christian education.

I sincerely look forward to your favorable responses. May God bless you!

David C.S. To, Principal

協力同心成大事

歡迎各位閱讀這本小冊子。滙基書院（東九龍）本著神的話語建立，致力為學生提供優質的基督教全人教育。由於學校發展迅速，為要向學生提供一個更完善的學習環境，我們計劃增建一座學生宿舍及綜合大樓。誠邀您參與我們的校舍擴建計劃，同心為神成就大事！

可能您會問：「我為何要支持學校的擴建計劃？」

假如您屬於匯基書院（東九龍）這個大家庭，相信已無用贅言，您一定會樂意見到學校發展得更為卓越，因而鼎力支持。即使您不是這個大家庭的一份子，您的支持仍然深具意義。擴建計劃本是為神而行的，您若然是基督徒，又或是認同基督教全人教育的理念，這個計劃就與您有關：神要藉著您去成就祂的使命！您的禱告和財政上的支持，對推動天國的事工實在舉足輕重。

又或許您會問：「我既非滙基書院（東九龍）的一員，又不是基督徒，擴建計劃與我何干？」

這計劃與您實在有莫大的關係。基督教對香港教育貢獻良多，全港約有一半的中小學和幼稚園都由教會或基督教機構開辦，當中有不少學校受到家長和學生的歡迎。基督教學校的畢業生，在社會各界都具有影響力。您若希望我們的下一代能夠有機會接受優質的基督教教育，為香港培訓更優秀的人才，請您支持本校的擴建計劃。

Message from the Chairman

Nowadays the world is much more competitive, the young ones are expected to be competent in many skills and to cultivate a global vision. These are essential qualities for a young person in a competitive society like Hong Kong. Training of students in these areas is an expensive and demanding endeavour. Even universities in Hong Kong and the world alike are pumping extensive resources into the training of their students through student activities and exchange programs. Unfortunately, many secondary schools in Hong Kong appear to be lagging behind in exploring new strategies on this issue. This large gap between secondary schools and universities is an unhealthy phenomenon.

I felt ecstatic when I learnt that United Christian College (Kowloon East) has a strong vision and mission for expanding its present school. This bigger and broader vision and mission extends to that of the community. The new project would include building a student complex which would house a chapel, a swimming pool and a student hostel. I believe that these are essential infrastructures for preparing our students for the future society. It is also in line with my own philosophy of a holistic and balanced education. The benefits of having these facilities are many; for example, the hostel can provide accommodations for incoming exchange students from other countries. This broadens student mix and facilitates intercultural exchange. Students from UCCKE can also benefit by living in the hostel for a period of time during their six years of study. This provides a wonderful opportunity for them to live as a group and develop their discipline and interpersonal skills.

I have taken up the helm as chairman of the fundraising committee with great pleasure because I trust that the Principal of UCCKE is leading the School in the right direction. To the community, this may serve as one of the models for the education development in Hong Kong. Together with other members of this committee, we look forward to work with parents, teachers, students and friends of UCCKE on this most important project. We desire to see the generous support of all parties who share this vision through fervent prayer and donations and I trust that we can walk together to fulfill this dream. We hope to raise enough money to fund the construction of the complex, and I hope that we can all work together to see this complex materialize. I wish to appeal to all of you for your financial support or other means of contribution is very important in making this meaningful event successful, and my heartfelt thanks to you all in advance.

主席的話

在現今充滿競爭的社會，年青人除了要懂得書本上的知識，還要具備多種技能和國際視野，才能在社會上立足。目前香港和世界各地的大學都藉著各種學生活動和交流計劃來培育學生，可惜本地中學在這些方面遠遠落後於大學，這種不良現象成為中學與大學的一道鴻溝。

我為到滙基書院（東九龍）有強烈的願景去擴建校舍而感到興奮，這更廣闊的願景將惠及整個學校群體。這個計劃包括興建一座學生宿舍及綜合大樓，將包括小聖堂、游泳池和學生宿舍等設施。我相信這些設施對裝備學生，投身未來社會都是必須的，亦與我對整全、平衡的教育理念一致。新增設施，好處多不勝數，例如宿舍能讓海內外交流生入住，既擴大本校學生的接觸面，也有助促進文化交流，擴濶學生視野。本校學生亦將受惠於學生宿舍的興建，因為在其六年中學生涯中，必然有機會寄宿，體驗群體生活，並有助建立良好紀律與人際關係。

能夠獲委任為籌款委員會主席，本人深感榮幸，因為我確信校長正帶領學校朝著正確的方向而行。滙基書院（東九龍）對香港的教育發展起了模範作用。本人暨所有籌款委員會成員謹此向各位呼籲：滙基書院（東九龍）的家長、老師、學生及所有認同本校辦學願景的友好，誠意邀請你透過恆切的禱告和慷慨的捐助，與我們一起攜手，令學生宿舍及綜合大樓得以建成！

Fundraising Target

2007-02-12T11:07:00.000+08:00

Fundraising TARGET籌款目標：

HK$45 million 港幣四千五百萬
by late 2008 預計於2008年底達成

HK$45 million is a large sum. We know that "with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26). As we have already experienced years of blessings and abundant love from God our heavenly Father, William Carey’s slogan "expect great things (from God) and attempt great things (for God)”inspires us to attempt great things for His glory. Our Sponsoring Body and School Management Committee have taken the lead to shoulder HK$20 million. We need your SUPPORT, join us in this blessed and meaningful MINISTRY!

過往幾年，本校經歷了上帝豐盛的恩典與祝福，雖然要籌得四千五百萬元，殊非易事，但我們仍然憑著信心向目標進發。因為聖經說：「在人這是不能的，在神凡事都能。」（馬太福音19:26）；近代宣教偉人克里威廉也說：「向神求大事，為神作大事。」這些話語正好激勵我們。本校辦學團體滙基書院有限公司和校董會已分別率先認捐一千萬元。我們仍然需要你們的支持，誠邀您參與此蒙福且具意義的校舍擴建計劃！

What makes UCCKE distinctive?

2007-02-06T08:17:00.000+08:00

What makes United Christian College (Kowloon East) distinctive?

United Christian College (Kowloon East) is a DSS and an EMI school. UCCKE is dedicated to providing quality holistic Christian education. To align with the School's mission, we recruit qualified and dedicated Christian teachers. With concerted efforts led by Dr. David C.S. To, who has over 20 years of experience as a Christian school principal, the School is committed to helping each student develop his fullest potential and become a person with faith, character, knowledge, culture and dream.

In UCCKE, teaching from biblical perspective, cultivating Christian values and character in students, and developing students’ academic excellence to glorify God are the priorities of the School. These are reflected through our core values, i.e. God as the centre, integrity, academic excellence and caring community. In particular, the School has established the United Christian Community Church (UCCC) as part of the school to further take care of the spiritual needs of the students and parents, as well as the wider community. This style of integration of the school and church is quite unique in Hong Kong context.

UCCKE provides a different sky of learning with a broad and challenging curriculum. Students here are growing up happily as well-rounded individuals with better resources and in smaller classes. Our English curriculum is a mix of local and American syllabuses; we also offer Japanese and French. Moreover, we integrate social service in our curriculum to reach out to the community. Students are exposed to all kinds of life-wide learning activities such as overseas study tours and camps. In the past few years, the School has entertained professors, principals, teachers and students from all over the world.

UCCKE is a school filled with love. Our teachers demonstrate God’s love to students. Parents are grateful for the support and partnership they have been experiencing at UCCKE. Together with the school church, we provide Parents’ Institute for imparting wisdom in parenting. The whole school community (students, parents and teachers) show their love to the School through their involvement in a broad spectrum of school activities.

UCCKE is young, vibrant, ambitious and growing. To further improve our quality of education and to provide students a comprehensive learning environment with modern facilities, we sincerely invite you, all parents and friends, to support our $45 million construction project, the Dormitory and Facility Extension Block. This seven-storey extension block includes a dormitory, chapel, lecture theatre, canteen, swimming pool, gym room and activity rooms. It is anticipated that the project will be completed by late 2008.

The addition of the swimming pool and the gym room can certainly enhance our sports training. Dormitory life helps nurture students’ holistic development, with lodging provided to all S.1 students and exchange students from overseas. Hence our students’ global horizon and cultural encounter will be greatly enhanced.

As we are preparing to offer senior form students the IB Diploma Program option in 2010, the added activity rooms and the lecture theatre are of great essence for this expansion. Not only can the new chapel provide a more suitable place for the Form Chapel and other activities during the school days, it will also be a sanctuary place for our school church, UCCC, on Sundays. It is hoped that the school community and the wider community can benefit spiritually with the establishment of this new chapel.

All in all, the new building project will make the School more competitive and bring abundant blessings to the whole school community.

滙基書院創立於1974年，致力為學生提供最優質的基督教全人教育，深受家長歡迎。有見及此，辦學團體於2003年開辦了直資學校滙基書院（東九龍）。新校由一群有理想、有教學熱誠的基督徒老師組成，並在擁有二十多年校長經驗的杜枝生博士領導之下，致力為學生提供「不一樣的學習天空」。短短幾年，本校已經建立了良好的聲譽，家長口碑載道，報讀人數逐年上升。

追求卓越 致力培育社會英才

本校持守校訓「明道尚主、勤學立德」的宗旨，協助學生全面發揮天賦的潛質，讓他們確定目標和方向，建立積極的人生觀。本校著重鼓勵學生追求學業、德行、靈性的卓越，栽培出有信仰、有道德、有知識、有理想、有文化，對社會有承擔的人，榮耀上帝之名。

為了配合未來學制的轉變，使學生有更多元的選擇，本校遂展開四千五百萬元的籌募計劃，在籃球場範圍增建一座七層高的學生宿舍及綜合大樓，預計新大樓最快將於2008年底落成。

完備設施 配合全方位發展

新大樓設有學生宿舍、演講室、小聖堂、特別活動室、飯堂、游泳池及健身室，新翼建成後，校舍設備將會更臻完善。演講室可以舉辦小型音樂會和話劇表演，令學生發揮演藝方面的潛質；新增的體育設施讓學生在運動上一展所長。學生宿舍是全人教育的理想培訓場地，除了在假期舉辦各類營會，還可讓中一學生輪流入住，體驗獨立自主及群體生活。滙基堂的事工亦因著興建小聖堂而得到進一步發展。

國際視野 文化交流凝聚社群

本校是一所具有國際視野的學校，除了一直開辦的日文、法文課程，學校更將於2010年增設「國際文憑課程」(International Baccalaureate Diploma Program)，為高中生提供多元選擇。

本校的初中英語課程糅合美國及本港的課程設計，有助學生日後往海外升學。本校亦鼓勵學生參與海外交流團及各種體驗團，更聘有專人策劃學生參與社會服務，以增廣見聞。本校亦與海內外教育工作者有多方面的交流和協作。宿舍建成後，本校更可以接待歐美、亞洲以及內地交流生入住，既可與本地學生促進文化交流，亦能擴濶本校學生的國際視野。

堂校一體 拓展生命教育工程

具果效的品德教育，必須從家庭教育開始。為了推行優質基督教全人教育，所有老師皆必須修讀有關課程，以生命影響生命。本校還創立了基督教滙基堂，關顧及支援學生及其家人的屬靈生命。堂校合辦的「家長學堂」，協助家長認識教養之道，令學校的教導更為有效和整全。未信者得以聽聞福音，初信者得到牧者栽培，堅信者亦可得著造就，成為基督的精兵。本校校長及部份老師同時是滙基堂的堂委，滙基堂的傳道人亦兼任本校聖經科老師，令學生有一份歸屬感。隨著基督教滙基堂事工的不斷發展和人數的迅速增長，教會因而需要更完善的場地拓展事工。小聖堂的興建，可以在同一天空下凝聚學生和家長，令堂校合一的異象更有效地落實。

UCCKE has been a gift from God – the building, site, location and most of all, its people, since its first year of inception in 2003. I felt excited and honoured to play a role in its pioneering work then. Many wonderful people have been blessed by the school. In similar vein, I genuinely look forward to moving ahead in its mission of expansion for both the school and community. I am eager, excited and enthusiastic to see the school achieve this dream. As the school launches its fundraising activities, and in particular, the Walkathon, I anticipate a united team spirit from teachers, parents and students with joint hearts and efforts to bring about the achievement of the intended targets and objectives of attempting greater things for God. May our endeavours to glorify His name through the school be instilled in all our hearts as we go forward!

Last year, our school had a Walkathon for raising fund for our new school building. It was a great event. Every student needed to participate in this Walkathon. As the funds raised are for a new building including a student hostel, a swimming pool, a gym room, a lecture room, a chapel, a canteen and some activity rooms, etc. Everyone felt excited about the Walkathon. When I received the pledge form, I decided to raise as much money as I could because I am one of the UCCKE students. Someday, I will use this building’s facilities in the future and everyone in UCCKE can use them, especially for overseas students and teachers.

I asked my grandpa, grandma, aunties, uncles, cousins, my friends in the church and even shop-keepers in the shopping mall near my house and the security guard in my block to support me. And I also brought the pledge form with me when I went everywhere. I didn’t want to miss any chance to ask someone to contribute. I feel very happy that I can receive the award for the highest number of sponsors in the Walkathon of October 2006. This is a good experience to ask people to contribute money for a Christian

school and support our school. I have learnt how to communicate with different people.

雖說擴建校舍的新大樓到啟用時我也未必能親身受用，但我和家人也挺支持這活動。其中的原因除了家中弟妹也有機會到滙基書院（東九龍）就讀外，也是因為一份情。

「工欲善其事，必先利其器。」，擴建新校舍確實能令我們作為學生的獲益良多，學校有更多空間教學，配合學生的全人發展，使校園的環境更臻完美。擴建計劃為我們學生帶來了這麼多益處，身為滙基書院（東九龍）學生的一員，我也會支持學校的擴建工程。常言道：「滙基（東九龍）是個大家庭。」家庭中的人必會互相體諒、包容和支持。同時間我們學生也透過支持學校去表達我們對學校未來發展的熱情。

When we first learned about UCCKE’s intention to build a new extension with more facilities last September, we were thrilled. A campus with more classrooms, an indoor swimming pool, a basketball court, a dormitory, a chapel and so on will obviously enhance the student development in various aspects.　However, when we gathered from the Principal Dr David To about the vision behind this new extension project, we were more excited with thanksgiving.

We deeply appreciate and fully support the school’s vision to provide the best quality of a holistic education based on God’s love and biblical principles. This new extension with lodging facilities will enable student exchange in the future, facilitating more outreaching work among both local and overseas students as well as their families. This will not only be a blessing to the local students but also an opportunity to share God’s love with youngsters from abroad. It is a demonstration of good stewardship of UCCKE. As the Bible says, “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10)

With your support and generosity, UCCKE’s new extension project will not only stand for a new building but also a life example to bless the lives of many youth. Your participation in this meaningful task would be very much appreciated. May our gracious God richly reward your generous gift.

一所好的學校，除了要把學生教好，同時要讓學生懂得生活：懂得在生活中學習，懂得與人相處，明白處世做人的道理。滙基書院（東九龍）就是這樣的一所中學。我的兒子在這裡讀書，三年來我看到他一直在成長。成績雖然仍有改進的空間，但待人處事方面，無疑有不錯的表現。

我常覺得，學校對學生最大的貢獻，不是把他送入香港或海外第一流的大學，而是教化和激勵學生做「第一流」的人：敬畏上帝、孝順父母、自愛愛人、積極進取、知書識禮、熱愛生命。在這個方向上，滙基書院（東九龍）正是朝著優質基督教全人教育的目標進發和實踐。

本人謹祝願學校百尺竿頭，更進一步，籌款擴校成功。

吳思源先生（吳逸之家長）

教養工作非常重要，但父母沒有接受專業的培訓，如何負起這重要的職事呢？我們需要學校的協助，才能將子女培育成材。滙基書院（東九龍）擁有一群有使命感和充滿愛心的教師團隊來為我們提供優質的基督教教育，使學生喜愛學習，有責任感。這裡的老師是家長的好夥伴，陪我們一起建立學生的生命。感謝主讓我的三名子女都能在這片「不一樣的學習天空」一起成長。

學校與基督教滙基堂合辦的「家長學堂」，令許多家庭都得到適時的輔導和幫助。我們很高興教會和學堂願意為家長提供教育課程，令我們認識到家庭教育的重要性，更學會如何建立良好的夫妻關係和正確的人生方向。隨著滙基堂人數日增，小聖堂的興建相信會造福更多學生，即使畢業校友也可以參加職青團契，教會導師會協助年青人投入社會，活出豐盛人生。
