Farewell to teachers

                                              Farewell SSC!
                               I was a backpacker traveller when I came to SSC to       It’s hard to believe that I
                           fill a casual vacancy in March 1996. It was a temporary   have had the privilege of living
                           post, but I have overstayed on this vast                and working in Hong Kong for
                           campus for more than 20 years.                          20 years! I have enjoyed my time
                               I have often been more recognized                   teaching at St. Stephen’s and
                           as a gardener than a teacher, and could                 Tivo and I will miss this campus
                           be remembered as a teacher who                          and the friends we have made
                           tended a garden – from the plot next                    here. See you again somewhere
                           to the staffroom, to the lawn at Central                sometime!
                           Square and finally Bungalow 3.                             Ms Madalena Jacqueline Elaine
            Through 22 years of service in SSC, I have maintained
        one doctrine I picked up when I was a trainee teacher in IE,
        Singapore in 1981.  In its simplest way, the principle is ‘if  If sakura thrives
        there is no learning, there is no teaching’.   Another guideline  in SSC, SSCians
        I follow for teaching is based on a very Confucian idea related   will excel in
        to education – impart knowledge according to students     Hong Kong
        targeted.
            These two simple credos shaped my lesson preparation, customizing my
        teaching materials, designing assessments and even marking. My students’
        learning was only part of the equation; my learning to teach day in day out is
        equally important.
            Teaching is parallel to gardening.  I have to know my seeds before I sow,
        adjust the amount of water, sunshine and type of soil to suit a sapling to grow
        into a tree with prolific blossoms and mellow fruitfulness.
            SSC allows me to enjoy the best of both worlds: interacting with young
        people to stay young, and cultivating a plot of land to create beautification with
        foliage, flowers, fruit and fragrance.

                        students who have shown me how         easy, but it was also a fun ride. I enjoyed torturing
