Music Scholars (2026-27)
(For Form ONE Entrants)
Purpose and Scope
Wah Yan College, Hong Kong strives to provide quality education to nurture students who can excel in both academic studies and non-academic activities. In fact, great emphasis is put on academic learning as well as non-academic developmental experiences for each student as part of our vision to offer a holistic, liberating and transforming Catholic education. It is believed that active involvement in musical activities can effectively develop not only skilled musicians, but nurture well-valued attributes like perseverance, sense of responsibility, resilience, self-confidence, loyalty, ensembleship, leadership, etc. The title of “Music Scholar” is a highly sought after honor in Wah Yan. The scheme is launched to recognize Form One entrants who are exceptional in their holistic development, i.e. not solely musical excellence, but equally an academic intellect, and an exemplary role model that contributes to their community as leaders in their field.
