Paulinian Alumni Vancouver
Paulinian Alumni Vancouver was established in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1987 with a current membership of 191. All members are Paulinians from SPCS, SPSS and SPLT in Hong Kong and now residing in different cities in British Columbia.
Objectives of the Alumni are:
- to gather Paulinians together where we can rekindle old schoolmates and continue the deep bonds we created during our school days,
- to enhance the development of Paulinian spirit, and
- to meet with past and present teachers, principals and Paulinians of different generations during events organised.
The Alumni is managed by an Executive Committee of 11 voluntary members. Under the leadership of Chairperson, Geraldine Lui (SPCS, graduation year 1967) and two Vice Chairpersons, Sylvia Chok (SPCS, 1966) and Cecilia Tong (SPSS, 1968), the Executive Committee works towards three Missions :
- to assist Paulinians who are newly migrated to British Columbia to quickly adapt to the environment,
- to enhance the friendship of Paulinians by holding at least four events a year, and
- to spread Paulinian spirit by contributing to our local communities.
There are four regular events being organised for all members, family members and friends every year:
- Annual Dinner in lunar January – over 100 guests attend and enjoy a get-together annually
- Barbeque/Hiking in Summer – about 40 participants treasure an outdoor activity together
- One day trip in Autumn – about 50 participants visit to nearby cities, like Whistler, etc.
- Christmas carol at seniors home – carol team of over 30 members visit 3 seniors home in China Town
Since 2010, the Alumni has been maintaining a website: www.paulinianvancouver.com so that all members can keep updated of the news and events of the Alumni. Do visit the website and take a look at our events.
