Students sing their gratitude

THE Sir Ellis Kadoorie Secondary School (So Kon Po) choir touched the hearts of students and teachers with the meaningful lyrics of their songs at the school's prize-giving day held recently in the school hall.

The lyrics go like this: ''I can't be contented with yesterday's glory. I can't live on promises, winter to spring . . .'' Principal Dr Latiffa Khan chose two special folk songs - Today and All Kinds of Everything - for the choir to perform to mark the red-letter day.

''Today is my moment and now is my story. I'll laugh, and I'll cry, and I'll sing. The song reminds us that we should treasure the present,'' said a student representative.
