皇仁舊生會中學
第三十七屆陸運會
天氣幻變熱情不變 健兒締造輝煌佳績
皇仁舊生會中學第三十七屆陸運會於三月四日及五日圓滿舉行，是屆陸運會為疫情後第二年舉辦，並由去年的葵涌運動場回歸「主場」青衣運動場進行，可謂別具意義。
今屆陸運會舉辦前，天氣預告這兩天有機會下雨，尤幸比賽期間天氣大致密雲無雨，更間中放晴。場地雖有些許濕滑，但同學仍在顧及安全下落力作賽，急救人員亦及時照顧意外傷者。校長許建業先生於閉幕禮致辭時，亦特別表揚比賽同學的鬥心及急救人員的盡責。此外，是次陸運會正值本屆中六生最後兩天上課日，所以他們對比賽及相聚時刻更見珍重，陸運會完結後仍留在會場中拍照，良久不去。
賽事方面，初賽日已見不少健兒磨拳擦掌，決賽日賽事愈見高潮迭起，3000米「林健忠盃」除學生及三位教職員參與外，還有去年榮休的鄧國榮老師回歸參與。而師生接力賽則有十四隊參加，最後由謝普祺老師帶領的隊伍取得金牌。至於壓軸的四社啦啦隊比賽，四社幹事及中一同學使出渾身解數，全皆演出亮麗，最後由紅社奪得啦啦隊冠軍，實至名歸。至於全場總冠軍則由藍社奪得，舉社歡騰。
決賽當日，校監陳記煊先生及兩位家長校董蒞臨觀賽，大會亦有幸邀得前校長許湧鐘太平紳士擔任頒獎嘉賓及主持閉幕儀式。許湧鐘太平紳士曾於二零零六年至二零一九年擔任本校校長，退休後繼續熱心公益事務，如南區撲滅罪行委員會委員、香港仔坊會副理事長、香港體育學院董事等。他在閉幕儀式致辭時，先表示樂見同學於體育運動方面的長足進步， 然後感謝現任校長的邀請，讓他重溫昔日在校的甜蜜時光，他更讚揚學生無論校內校外皆有序而守規，最後祝願本屆文憑試考生於公開試獲取滿意成績。

Press Release
Date: 5 March, 2024
37th Annual Sports Days
Students and teachers of Queen’s College Old Boys’ Association Secondary School assembled at the Tsing Yi Sports Ground on an appreciably dry track for the 37th Annual Sports Days on 4th and 5th March, 2024. In a well-decorated opening ceremony, cheerleading squads duly waved the red, blue, yellow and green pom poms and flags of all four Houses, and student members of the Hong Kong Red Cross, Hong Kong Road Safety Association, Scout Association of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps uniformed groups marched proudly in rank and file to greet spectators in the stands.
Over the course of the two days, school spirit surged as the sounds of noise makers and house chants took to the air. Students of all forms showcased their sporting skills in a range of athletic events and engaged in healthy competition to win points for their Houses, while first aid trained student volunteers stood by, ready to assist their fellow students. Only minor injuries were reported. Congratulations are in order to Blue House for winning the 2023-2024 Annual Sports Days House Championship, having gained a total of 760 points, and also to Red House for winning the Best Cheerleading Team competition, with a total of 1,508 points.
Leading by example, retired former teacher of Visual Arts, Mr. Tang Kwok Wing, once again took his place at the starting line of the Men’s Open 3,000-Metre race. After bounding seven and a half rounds of the track, a well-deserved victory was clinched by Red House’s young champion runner, Form 2 student Jin En. It was a noteworthy effort that neared the existing record of 10:34.34 by 19 seconds. In another highlight, Physical Education teacher, Mr. Tse Po Ki, sprinted an incredible last leg of the 4X100 metre Student-Teacher relay race, securing a victory for their coed team.
In the closing ceremony, Principal Ronald Hui welcomed back this year’s Guest of Honour, Mr. Yung Chung Hui, former QCOBASS Principal of thirteen years. The purposeful reunion struck home, particularly among the Form 6 cohort, who had studied under Mr. Y. C. Hui’s principalship five years previously. To round off the Annual Sports Days, also the final day of school for the Form 6 before their public exam leave, attendees sang a heartwarming rendition of the school anthem: “Hail! Alma Mater! Glory to Q. C. O. B. A. Secondary School.” In parallel with the school song’s chorus, the special guest reminded the student body about the benefits of loyalty and commitment to their secondary school in his closing speech.
