The Music Department would like to announce the following results of the 73rd Hong Kong Music Festival (2021) 

Congratulations to Donald Leung (2A) for winning the Talent Quest solo champion, and Donald Leung & Max Yeung (2C) on winning the group championship.

Despite the pandemic, the first ever online Talent Quest was held. Contestants had to overcome many difficulties, from broadcasting their performances live from their own homes to performing in the first ever Talent Quest without a live audience.

Needless to say, Donald and Donald & Max’s victories were certainly hard-earned. Congratulations to the boys once again. 

Heavenly Father,

We pray to thank you for blessing us with hope and peace as we continue to face the pandemic with courage, patience and intelligence.

COVID-19 has taken a much more serious toll on our brothers and sisters in some parts of the world, where the spread of the virus accelerates exponentially. As we pray for their safety and wellness, may we remember to follow the Lord’s example to share with each other the grace and love that you have given us. May we always bear in mind that solidarity in our faith and support for each other will help us overcome the ordeal of this pandemic.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son. Amen.

St. John Baptist De La Salle, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever.

Loving Father,

We come to you in prayer today, thanking you for your blessings and protection over everyone at school.

We pray that you take special care of all the Secondary 6 students this year so that they may be kept safe and well to give their best in the DSE exam that begins today. Help them to keep in perspective the many blessings you have already given them that they may face the challenge with confidence and pursue excellence.

The BAFS Team is pleased to announce that Alex Chan Hoi Chi (4G) and Marcus Yau Chun Hei (4G) have achieved excellence in the FedEx Express/JA International Trade Challenge 2021 – Hong Kong Finals held on 28 th January 2021. Their team, Alcus, was one of the three Hong Kong Winning Teams, and they will represent Hong Kong at the Asia Pacific Finals which will be held on 1-3 March 2021 via Zoom.

Alex and Marcus’s winning idea was to create an anti-theft backpack named “Safety MTB (Meant-to-be) Backpack”, targeting pickpocketing and robbery in Cambodia. The second team, named “Float”, composed of Daniel Chun Ka Hong (4C) and Anson Kwok Yee Shun (4G), who also advanced to the Hong Kong finals proposed a water transport kit named “Floatbike”, which is a self-sustainable water transport allowing Cambodians to commute conveniently.

Co-organized by Junior Achievement and FedEx Express, the competition aims to nurture students’ entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen. The scoring criteria for the competition includes the originality of the design and the feasibility of business strategies.

Due to the rescheduling of the competition this year, it was the first time that our Form 4 boys represented the school in this regional competition, as our Form 6 boys focus their energies on preparing for the upcoming HKDSE exams. Both teams demonstrated the willingness to challenge themselves and commitment to teamwork.

Congratulations to the teams for their achievements. The students would like to express their sincere gratitude to their teacher advisor Ms. Helen Law for her guidance throughout the competition. We sincerely wish Alex and Marcus the best of luck in the Asia Pacific finals!
