Macao Pui Ching Middle School held a flag-raising ceremony this morning to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region. Following the ceremony, Pastor Au Yeung led a prayer, expressing gratitude for the students' ability to resume normal learning activities in the past year and giving thanks for the prosperity of our country and the well-being of the residents of Macao.

Principal Kou mentioned in his speech that 2023 is a year full of grace. With the pandemic receding, many activities have returned to normal, and the budget of the S.A.R. government for 2024 recorded a small surplus. We are welcoming the 24th anniversary of the establishment of the Macau S.A.R. in a time of joy. In the field of education, both the PISA scores in basic education and the rankings of local universities have shown excellent performance. These are the results of the joint efforts of both teachers and students.

Principal Kou stated that the coming year will be a year of celebration. Pui Ching Middle School's Coloane campus will officially open on September 1st, the school will celebrate its 135th anniversary, and there will be the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Macau S.A.R. as well as the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Finally, Dr. Kou expressed gratitude for the good weather and wished all the teachers and students good health and overflowing blessings.
