Music Scholars (2025-26)

(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 the 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.
