Words from Teachers

Message from former principal Mr. Tam Siu Ping, George 

Ten years ago, a very important need was identified and in the cherished spirit of Wah Yan as ‘men for and with others’, 

students and teachers responded to form the indispensable big brother scheme - JASERs.


That need was to help their younger brothers when they first entered Wah Yan to adapt, to feel valued, and to bond with their

new environment and new classmates. The JASER acronym begins with ‘J’ for Joy as the senior students help their younger 

brothers to find joy in themselves, in each other, and in God. ‘A’ is for Advice as they counsel and guide the junior students to 

deal with their many academic demands and emotional needs. ‘S ‘for Share emphasizes that the senior students can use their

experience to impart their reflections totheir younger counterparts as they embark on the next stage of their learning and 

development. ‘E’ for Encouragement means that younger students are offered support, friendship, and compassion when 

needed. Put all those letters together and what we have is a dynamic, caring group of individuals who give their time and help

to those in need.


Now that we are in the tenth year of JASERs, it has been wonderful to see those who were once recipients of such guidance,

taking on a responsible role a few years later, and becoming the ones to offer help to others. With a team of dedicated teachers,

students from Form 4 develop essential leaderships and communication skills, as well as sense of service and empathy. I am 

proud to have this organization in Wah Yan College and I know that so many of us have benefited from the JASERs. I wish the 

JASERs a very happy tenth anniversary and look forward to many more years of their dedicated commitment and service to 

others.


God Bless,

Principal Tam

JASER 由當初哇哇墮地,經過一年接一年的傳承下去,轉眼已屆十載的年華。恭喜培育的老師們及參與的學長,JASER 在你們的共同努

力下,成長起來了。


JASER 在十年前出現時,是希望作為學長的師兄們能協助新入學的師弟融入校園生活,透過彼此的相處增進師兄弟的情誼,同時亦讓華

仁優良的傳統傳承下去。曾經作為 JASER 的你,是否還記得當初為何肩負這使命?無論你們是否記得,盼望在來年的日子,你們仍能發

揮作為華仁師兄的使命,繼續為這校園締造一份關愛的師兄弟情。

12年前華仁開始大哥哥計劃,由多名中六學生照顧中一學生。當時參加的學生有限,我們只集中照顧非華小的學生。他們已相識

的少,需要多一點的適應。2年後,學校檢討後,認為計劃可行亦有意義,便將計劃擴展到全中一,開始招募中四大哥哥擔起照顧

的工作。「大哥哥」亦由第一界大哥哥正名為JASER、大哥哥計劃被稱為JASER Scheme就由當時開始。而計劃亦加入了對大哥哥

成長的重視。這麼多年來計劃的細節有著不少的改變,但當中核心的部份比較穩定,它們或多或少反映了計劃的精神。它們包括

了:


第1, 對JASERs職前三日二夜的訓練;調校期望、增加對工作的了解和建立團隊。JASER是有要求、有鮮明目的和群體性的工作。


第2, JASERs通過持續的接觸和關懷,使中一學生更能適應校園生活、給予他們一個好的榜樣。關懷和作榜樣是很核心的。


第3, 學期中的每個月JASERs要為他們的體會、反省和學習紀錄下來,與同工和導師分享。希望能在反省中沈殿些幫助成長的東

西。


第4, 每組由一位導師協助,加深JASERs的學習和反省。


上述的做法固然是導師的要求,但亦折射出華仁精神的某一個側面。

每年的JASER都讓同有許多新體驗和成長機會,付得得多,收獲越多,希望同學在人生的旅途上,常懷有喜樂服務的心!

  我與JASER結緣的生活點滴 Mr. Nelson Dai

每年JASER都會舉行訓練營,最初的數屆,更有結業的訓練營,以回顧同學在學年中的點滴經歷,並前瞻成長的前路。我想十週年

紀念活動,也是在這意義下發生,而我與JASER計劃的結緣,亦是與結業訓練開始。


八年前,在當時社工老姑娘的遇然邀請下,我協助了第三屆JASER的結業訓練營。營中,同學以生鬼的方式,滙報學年中與仔相處

的滿足和困難,甚為吸引。第一、二屆的師兄對同學的回應:以王菲歌詞「自己都不愛,怎麼相愛,怎可給愛人好處」,道明

JASER的個人成長與關心中一仔的相互關係,更叫我感動。


除後的一屆,即第四屆,因著之前的感動,我不單參與結業的訓練營,更協助學年中的溝通訓練課程。在這些訓練過程,叫我印

象深刻的,是同學雄糾糾的口號,與及「瞓身」投入活動的表現。這些鮮有在華仁校園出現的場面,令我窩心動容,亦喚發起我

內心的熱情。碰巧第五屆的顧問老師出現空缺,我毅然加入了這計劃。


尤記起我為第五屆JASER的日記寫上的一句話: “Experience isthe Best Teacher” 生活很多時都不是一蹴即至,而是一點一滴的累

積而成。在我的經歷裏,不是我帶領同學,而是同學帶給我經驗,引導著我走生活的路,培育我成長。我想這就人和人的關係和

感染力,生命和生命之間最原初的面貌。我感恩自己與JASER的生活觸碰到這份生命力,在此回顧之際,與你們分享,共勉!

The JASER scheme or Big Brother Scheme is one of the most meaningful activities in Wah Yan. It demonstrates the fraternity love 

passing from seniors to juniors, from one generation to another. When I started to study in Wah Yan some twenty years ago, I did 

feel the care of some senior students from time to time, but there was not a formal scheme or a formal team of students dedicated 

to such helpful activities.


I was lucky and honoured to be a JASER advisor for two years (07-09) since I returned to teach here. I couldn't say I contributed

 much but I did learn a lot from the experience. In particular joining the JASER training camp and all the adventurous games with

 those energetic JASERS and teacher advisors make me feel very young again.


I think it does not take a perfect guy to be a JASER (or a JASER advisor), just like we don't have to be very capable before we can 

offer help to those in need. We understand ourselves better and just grow together with our little brothers.

JASER scheme是一個對我影響很大的scheme。記得2019,我剛剛加入華仁,在首個上課日之前已經被安排到JASER TRAINING CAMP,所以是我對大家留下第一印象的地方,我首次見證到華仁特色既教育,就係比一班大J去搞一個training camp,通常搞camp呢啲野一定會係老師負責,因為更加可控同埋由一班冇搞camp經驗既學生負責,其實會花費十分多時間,但我地都一直堅持呢個practice係因為覺得可以令傳承更完整同埋令學生有更多學習同成長。另一樣我經歷既係完左個camp第一日之後戴sir insist要同大J debrief,但當年既大J唔肯,事後佢地其實相當後悔,令我見識到learning from failurelearning from success有時意義更重大。

到後來我比較in charge呢個scheme,我擔當更多工作同要負起責任。由BOOK CAMP,CAMP, PLAN 活動,開例會,中期檢討等等都需要COMMITTMENT。但我十分相信呢D環節都係成個scheme不可或缺既部分,亦令成個scheme變得有溫度,建立到brotherhood同時承傳到人與人之間既關係既成功要素。


最後,我覺得JASER scheme係一個你比幾多就會收幾多既scheme。你有付出時間心機落黎,自然會有對應回報。希望各位JASER可以do the right thing, not the easy thing。最最最後,希望十年,二十年後既JASER scheme都可以繼續承傳到呢份華仁獨有既兄弟情,延續呢一團火。
