Love @ Po Leung Kuk

俊俊在保良局慧妍雅集幼稚園暨幼兒園畢業快將一年，這天放學後與爸爸媽媽一起回到幼稚園探望校長和老師。「你長高了許多呢！」眼前的俊俊不只長高了，說話也成熟了不少。 憶起這三年來俊俊在幼稚園的點點滴滴，俊俊媽媽心中泛起無數感動。「我們是雙職家長，每天都要上班工作，爸爸有時還要OT，好在幼稚園有提供延展服務，我們可以放心將俊俊交託給學校。」俊俊從K1開始，每天課後都會留在學校至六、七時，無奈 疫情突襲，全港學校曾一度停課數月。「疫情初期，我們的確很懊惱，畢竟家中長輩年紀大難以長時間照顧俊俊，慶幸學校靈活彈性的安排，提供託管服務，讓我和爸爸可以繼續上班。」   疫情停課期間，學校持續開放給有需要的學生，當時回校的學生寥寥可數。「由於學校只能提供基本的照顧，每當俊俊做好功課，就會主動幫老師擔任小助手，又不時找我聊天，無論是日常課堂趣事，抑或是心事秘密等都無所不談，使託管的時間過得充實。」成為俊俊最佳玩伴的黃老師道。 俊俊能夠在疫情期間，仍然愉快度過學習旅程，媽媽最感謝校長、各位主任和老師，甚至是校務員姐姐的用心教導和照顧。「即使去年疫情期間，實體上課的日子不多，多得學校的體貼支援，深深感受到學校的關愛。看見俊俊這三年來各方面都有明顯的進步，性格慢熱的他，在學校結識了不少朋友，全賴學校活動教學，令他對身邊的事物充滿好奇心，而且混齡教學，令他學會與不同年齡的小朋友相處，每天放學回到家裡總是會捉著我和爸爸分享學校趣事，又會表演唱歌跳舞，所以俊俊K3畢業時，便親筆將所有感謝說話一字一句寫在卡上，藉此向學校送上最真摯的謝意。」   這封簡單的感謝卡，包含了俊俊一家對學校每一位教職員的感謝和肯定。

Yu Tin Ching (Ching) has resided in Po Leung Kuk’s dormitory (also known as “the House”) since 2 years-old. The shy little boy would only sit quietly aside in the beginning, even the in-house staff could hardly notice him. Fortunately, he got his chance to shine on stage. Whenever Ching danced, the invisible boy stole the limelight and became the “dancing king” among the children in the House.     Ching loves dancing since he was small. He originally taught himself by watching online dance tutorials. However, it is difficult to master the basic skills or make further progress through self-study. Luckily, Ching met with another dancing enthusiast, Ms. Cheung, in Primary 4. Ms. Cheung discovered the talents of Ching, she initiated him into dance trainings and practices, as well as arranged him to participate in various stage performances of the Kuk, such as the Child Sponsors’ Day, so as to build up his self-confidence gradually.     Ching dreams of becoming a professional dancer. He hopes to learn more dancing techniques from dance schools, but stepping out from the comfort zone of the House and the expensive tuition fee made him feel confused about his future. “Do you really want to be a Dancer?” Ms. Cheung reassured Ching and let him finally made up his mind.    Later with the help of Ms. Cheung and social workers, Ching received financial assistance from “Angels for Orphans” programme of Po Leung Kuk, and started learning jazz dance and street dance at professional dance schools. At the last Child’s Sponsor Day of this 18-year-old boy, Ching decided to express his gratitude to the Sponsors by delivering his best dancing performance before leaving the House.    After DSE, Ching targets to enter The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to further develop in dance studies and achieve his dream as a dancer, “I wish that one day, I can come back to the House as dance tutor, and contribute to the Child Sponsor’s Day.”
