今次是第二次由圖書館老師帶同學參加由香港公共圖書館舉辦，名為 “與作家會面” 的講座。當天的嘉賓是前首席單車運動員– 洪松蔭。
講座一開始他就介紹三位很特別的人讓我們認識。一位是黃金寶、另一位是洪金寶、最後是他自己洪松蔭。他說：「人們總是分不清誰是誰！所以講座開始前一定要先介紹一下！」全場頓時笑聲不斷。 他確實非常幽默風趣。
他分享自己成為作家的經過及奮鬥路時，他提到自己經常記住一句話“前面轉彎直行就到”，他將此話贈予在場人士，希望大家面對困難時，也要記住不要輕言放棄，因為“前面轉彎直行就到”！

         The first school assembly was held on 3rd September 2009. Our school Supervisor, Principal, and Committee Heads unfolded the school theme ‘Strengthening Our Learning Community’ for the development cycle 2009-2012, highlighting the objectives, major focuses and expectations.

         The acronym ‘TOPs’ embedded in the slogan ‘We are TOPs’ best explains the vision of this development cycle – we are ‘Tak Oi Persons’ with ‘Targets’ and the most cherished values ‘Optimism’ and ‘Perseverance’.

         Strategies for being ‘TOPs’ entail 3Es –'Exploration', 'Exposure' and 'Exhibition'. In this regard, some teachers and a S6 student shared with the audiences how they have been striving hard to reach out and to affirm their achievements.

         The effort of all our S6 students in surrounding the whole assembly together with a big piece of self-tied rope brought the assembly to a climax, signifying unity, energy and harmony.
