After a generously cool and dry start to the year, the heat and humidity we’ve been expecting (dreading?) has made its Sappearance. Nearly every conversation among my girlfriends now includes in-depth debates about how to handle your hair and questions about how you’ll spend your summer holidays. While you’re on your own with your hair, we have addressed your summer holidays. Whether you’re heading out on home leave or looking for ways to enjoy Hong Kong’s coastline, we’ve got it covered. And no matter where you’ll be enjoying the season, I hope our tips regarding sun and water safety ensure a happy ending for the whole family. We had so much fun shooting this month’s fashion spread. Thanks to the folks at the Aberdeen Boat Club, we enjoyed a fabulous setting and rewarded ourselves with delicious snacks when the work was done. It was a treat to welcome back one of our favourite photographers – Aimee K – who was visiting from her new home in Mallorca. Aimee will be back again in November for anyone who would like to have some gorgeous family photos taken. For us here at Playtimes, summer means the monthly magazine treadmill will pause, allowing us to take a breath, too. I’m looking forward to my own home leave, where I hope to share some relaxing times with family and do some frenetic shopping. This summer, Wendy will return from her maternity leave. We’ve missed her, and look forward to welcoming her back. But, as she returns, another team member will leave us. After three years on the Playtimes team, Narelle will be leaving Hong Kong. She and her family will set off on their next adventure, this time in Bahrain. Narelle has been such an important part of our team, and she will be missed tremendously. We all wish her the best in this next chapter and are delighted to feature her son James in the fashion spread inside. I do hope you enjoy this summer reading. And, as the song goes, I’ll see you in September.

The last 90 years are brimming with excitement, turbulence and glory for us: We navigated uncharted waters in our early days on Kai Tack Bund, managed to weather storms and remain robust during the Japanese Occupation in 1930s – 40s, and we were, and still continue to be so, dynamic and resilient enough to scale new heights not only in Kowloon City, but also across the territory, and finally on a world scale: It is our mission to sharpen students’ global visions. In this brochure, you are going to find snapshots that represent the pride we take in the glorious Munsang history, and each celebratory event symbolises our determination to render our utmost to serve our students, our School, and the Hong Kong community. Each of the programmes, in pictures, speaks volumes about our resolve to keep Munsang shining as ever from 1926 onwards. We are custodians of the past, and architects of the future! 1 Contents Kick-off Ceremony ..................................................................................................................................

    Chapter 5 Provision of Aquatic Recreational and Sports Facilities

    Chapter 5 Provision of aquatic recreational and sports facilities Audit conducted a review to examine the provision and management of aquatic recreational and sports facilities by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and to ascertain whether there were areas for improvement. Gazetted beaches 2. According to paragraph 2.4(a) of the Audit Report, a consultant, who carried out a coastal safety audit on the beaches of Hong Kong in 2000, had advised that the Rocky Bay Beach should be deleted from the list of gazetted beaches because of safety reason and low usage. However, the LCSD considered that de-gazetting beaches was a sensitive issue and decided not to take further action. The Committee asked about the sensitivity of the de-gazetting and whether the LCSD would de-gazette the beach. 3. In response, Ms Anissa WONG Sean-yee, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, said that: - in deciding to close the Rocky Bay Beach because of its poor water quality, the Administration had considered whether the beach should be de-gazetted. At that time, the Administration was of the view that it should consider the development of the beach water quality. It was also concerned that the relevant District Council and beach goers might consider that they might need to observe the development of the issue for a period of time; and - taking into account the current situation of the water quality, the usage of the beach, as well as other factors, such as the usage rate of the Shek O Beach, the LCSD agreed in principle to Audit’s recommendation that the Rocky Bay Beach be de-gazetted.

    World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems

    WORLD FACTBOOK OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS Hong Kong Ian Dobinson City Polytechnic of Hong Kong This country report is one of many prepared for the World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems under Bureau of Justice Statistics grant no. 90- BJ-CX-0002 to the State University of New York at Albany. The project director was Graeme R. Newman, but responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in each report is that of the individual author. The contents of these reports do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Bureau of Justice Statistics or the U.S. Department of Justice. GENERAL OVERVIEW i. Political System. The criminal justice system of Hong Kong suffers from over bureaucratization and a lack of coordination. In general, Departments and agencies are administered by the executive, with the Governor as its head. Under $4 of the Police Force Ordinance (Cap 232), for example, the Commissioner is directly accountable to the Governor. For the other main agencies, direct administrative responsibility lies with other senior members of the executive. The decision to prosecute is determined by the Attorney General while corrections are administered by the Departments of Correctional Services and Social Welfare, which are the responsibility of the Secretaries of Security and Social Welfare, respectively. The judiciary has apparent independence. However, the powers of the Governor to appoint both judges and magistrates, as delegated by the Queen, may be seen as hampering true independence. 2. Legal System. While there are important differences, the structure of the government and criminal justice system of Hong Kong is the same as other British colonies.

    Recreation, Sport and the Arts

    367 Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport and the Arts Hong Kong is well known for its hard- working people, but it is not an all-work- no-play city. People spend time in a wide variety of recreational, sport and cultural activities, ranging from ‘tai chi’ to yoga, football to rugby, and international arts festivals to home-grown performances. Hong Kong offers many opportunities for people to unwind. Recreation, sport and the arts provide an opportunity for people in Hong Kong to improve their quality of life. The Government helps to nurture an environment in which creative freedom, a pluralist approach to the development of the arts, sporting excellence and recreation can thrive. Government policies on matters concerning sport, recreation, culture and heritage are coordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau. Organisations that help to draw up these policies include the Hong Kong Sports Commission, the Hong Kong Sports Institute, the former Culture and Heritage Commission, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Antiquities Advisory Board. The Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited was set up as a delivery agent to help develop sports in Hong Kong with special emphasis on training athletes for high- performance sports. In January 2005, the Government established the Sports Commission to advise on all matters related to sports development. The commission oversees the Elite Sports Committee, the Major Sports Events Committee and the Community Sports Committee which give advice on different aspects of sporting activities. The new advisory structure is a milestone for sports development in Hong Kong. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of the Home Affairs Bureau, provides leisure and cultural services to the community, preserves its cultural heritage, beautifies its physical environment, and fosters synergy among sports, cultural and community organisations.

We humbly upheld our motto: “From Church, Through Church” over the years by supporting some of the poorest communities in Asia and Africa. It was clear that as we served others, we were often the ones being blessed. By serving the poor, we experienced first-hand God’s grace and amazing works. From our overseas partners, frontline workers, and local Christians, we learned what was the true meaning of dedication and faith. This Annual Report is filled with our partners’ living examples of their faith: we saw our untainted partner in Bangladesh who refused to play by unofficial rules; we saw how churches in Yunnan served their neighbours in need with dedication; we saw Ethiopian churches were determined to fight against harmful traditions for women; we saw our Myanmar partners walked with war-torn communities faithfully; we saw the perseverance shown by the believers in Nepal after the earthquake; and we saw our Zimbabwe partners’ worked persistently to help the drought-affected farmers.
