Siu Wai Ling Scholarship

​

On the occasion of her 90th birthday in the year 2002, students and friends of Miss Siu Wai Ling set up the Scholarship in recognition of her outstanding contribution as a teacher of Physical Education at St. Stephen’s Girls’ College from 1955 to 1976. Miss Siu pioneered in promoting sports as a subject and well-recognized activity in Hong Kong schools and most importantly, she had advocated and fostered the spirit of sportsmanship amongst students. Under her mentorship, St. Stephen’s has nurtured many outstanding sportswomen in the field of sports, especially physical education, in Hong Kong.

 

Miss Siu presented the very first Award on Speech Day in 2003.

 

After she passed away in December 2005, a group of her students published a book, Whistle of Love, to pay tribute to her and to raise more funds for the Scholarship.

 

Since 2003, the Scholarship has made awards to numerous recipients.
