Questions asked by RTHK:
1. 為甚麼會成立學濟社?
2. 你們主要希望能幫助哪些弱勢社群
3. 學濟社由成立至現在，曾舉辦過甚麼活動? 有沒有難忘的人和事?
4. 學濟社未來發展如何? 例如會否招攬更多退休或專業人士作導師?
Answers given by Grace Tutors Association Limited (Edward Sin & Ronald Tong):
1) Many of us retired to live "jobless" life, but invited by relatives or neighbours to teach their children. In many cases, there are mismatches, not making good use of people's talent. Grace Tutors helps to match the talents to NEEDY students. The matching service is the HUB, which is simple work. It would never be a bottle neck because of the ease of expansion.
2) 過五關，斬六障
六障 包括：
視、聽、肢體殘障、或受傷、病、毒禍所影響。
五關 包括：
仁愛、學養、善導、高瞻、堅毅
3) NEEDY students we have helped are, progressively, students with visual impairment, hearing impairment, coming from poor families, last batch of students taking Form 5 examination, students with Leaning Disabilities, students from Chinese schools wishing to improve their English standard, students of drug ex-Addicts, and students serving sentences in prisons.
4) 學濟滿天下. Now most of our tutors are HKU graduates. We are serving schools in HK West, HK East, Kowloon West, Kowloon East, Tin Shui Wai and Sheung Shui. We would like to mobilize graduates from other local universities as well as overseas universities. We would like to cover all corners of HK, and further to Mainland China, and everywhere in the world. We can conduct class in English, Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin), in traditional as well as simplified Chinese characters, which covers as much as half of the world's population.

SPC #94: Uunveiling the Class of 1966 donation plaque

May 20,2010
Unveiling ceremony at Wong Ming Him Hall 5:30 pm
Attendees :
Teacher : Mrs. To , So Kwok Chun , Mr. Yuen Chik Kam , Mr. Kenneth Ng Chi Him
Principal : Dr. John Kennard
secretary : Mrs. Josephine Ho
Alumni : Philip Cheung Kwok Kee, Frederick Kan Shiu Cheong, Tse Sik Yan, Sonny Yau Tai Lin, Wong Kam Shing, Frank Fu , Henry Shum Koon Lam,and Lo Chun Kay
A speech written by John Leung and read by Frederick Kan Shiu Cheong was excerpted below :
SPC Speech on the unveiling of the Class of 1966 donation plaque
Thank you, Dr. Kennard, for your generous introduction and for giving us, the members of the Class of 1966, the opportunity to “give something back” to St. Paul’s College. Thank you for unveiling this plaque that symbolizes the loving relationship that we have among ourselves and with our alma mater. At this auspicious moment, as we celebrate our class’s financial contribution to St. Paul’s College, we would also like to celebrate, at the same time, your stewardship of our College. The Class of 1966 attended SPC before you took over its helm, and so we were not, technically speaking, your pupils. (Come to think about it, perhaps, if you had been our principal and had known us for the rambunctious, wild, bunch of individuals that we were 40-some years ago, you might now have a very different opinion of us. [Laughter]) Nevertheless, some of us, over the years, have had the honor of working closely with you to advance the cause of the College, and know that what we have accomplished today in this place would not have been possible without your vision, your efforts and your leadership. For all of that, we would like to thank you and celebrate you.
We would also like to say a word of special thanks to Ms. Josephine Ho, whose consistent help on so many logistical matters has been critical to the success of our donation campaign. Without your assistance and patience with us, Ms. Ho, this plaque might not be here today. Please accept our grateful thanks.
For all the members of the Class of 1966, those who are able to be here today, and those who could not be with us, and particularly for those of our classmates who have departed from this world, this is a moment for jubilation, and gratitude, as well as for somber memory. To all of you, for all you have contributed, not only to this particular campaign, but also to that unique identity of being the SPC Class of ’66, we express our profound appreciation. This plaque and all the spirit of love and comradeship it carries belong to you.
In the same spirit, we would like to thank all those who taught us at St. Paul’s College. We are greatly honored to share this moment with so many of you who have taken the time to be with us today. We also particularly remember, with enduring fondness and deepest thanks, those of our mentors who are also dearly departed. We thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for guiding us with your knowledge and inspiring us with your wisdom, for putting up with us when we were your pupils, and for turning us into your friends later on in our lives. With you we share our common bond with St. Paul’s.
Once again, allow me to borrow from the words of our namesake. In the fourth chapter of Saint Paul’s letter to the Christians in the city of Philippi, he admonished his brethren, saying: “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are beautiful, whatsoever things are commendable; if there be anything virtuous, and if there be anything worthy of praise, think on these things constantly.” We, the Class of 1966, hold the education that we have gained from St. Paul’s College to be in every way fitting of these descriptions. So let us then ponder some of the good things that we have received from this place, this institution, from our teachers and from one another. Here we have received the education that has formed and molded us, and equipped us for our whole lives. We have learned from this place the liberal education that gave us the freedom to think independently, to act upon the knowledge that we have learned and to be creative with the wisdom we have acquired. This institution has given us the education that is the cornerstone of every civil society throughout humankind. Here we have learned the discipline to be life-long learners, to bring the spirit of unending and continuous learning into every walk of life that we have come to inhabit over the last five decades, here in Hong Kong and in all the far-flung corners of the world. That spirit of life-long learning has, for example, motivated many of us, as we retired from our various professions, to come together and continue the grand enterprise of education through Grace Tutors Association Limited. It is the same spirit that brings us together today to celebrate our small part in perpetuating education in the thousands of sons and daughters of St. Paul’s College that are yet to enter these halls and who will eventually proceed from the portals of our alma mater.
This plaque represents a permanent union between ourselves and St. Paul’s College. It speaks loudly that just as there will always be a piece of the Class of 1966 embedded, as it were, here in Wong Ming Him Hall, there will also always be a piece of St. Paul’s College in the Class of ’66 and its members, collectively and individually. We, gathered here today, are the lucky few who bear living witness to this relationship, but we also know that we stand amidst a much larger cloud of witnesses, those thousands of St. Paul’s alumni and parents, teachers, administrators, and staff members, that have gone before us, as well as the thousands who will come and join us in the decades and centuries ahead, all of whom attest to the struggles and the labors, as well as to the achievements and the glories of this College. Together then, we humbly and prayerfully ask for God’s immeasurable Grace upon this, our College; May it forever flourish and thrive as a Fountainhead of God’s Blessing of Education, of Knowledge and Wisdom for All Humanity. Thank you.
