Over A Decade of Mentor Relationships
Adolf Ho (1972) and Phyllis Lau (1973)
We held a reunion lunch for our past and present mentees in early summer this year, gathering over a decade long of mentor
relationships.
SPCC is the first secondary school to establish a mentor programme, under the leadership of Principal Henry Poon (1962). Adolf
(1972) is one of the founding mentors, and we have mentees spreading over a decade now. Some of our more senior mentees
have got married already and we attended their weddings. Today, they bring along their spouses to the reunion. Over the years,
being mentors provided us with a rewarding experience as we get to know more about the current generation.
At the reunion, which has almost become an annual event, senior members continued the tradition of sharing and giving advice to
the current mentees on university and career choices. Younger mentees learned so much from their senior counterparts, and they
left the party with more confidence in their future. Many will continue to correspond among themselves on their special fields of
interests.
Participants from the left are: Cindy (working in banking), Emerald (current HKU student), Sharon and Nikki (current mentees), Phyllis, Adrian (Phyllis’ son and SPCC F6 IB 2014
graduate), Adolf, Jennifer (working as a medical doctor), Tammy (working in the field of HR and Training), Johnny (working in the logistics field) and current mentee Sophia, who is in
uniform and getting ready for choir performance after the gathering.
