AUTUMN 2009
Look out into the world
W
elcome to 視 界 (Shi Jie), the first biennial issue of the Discovery College magazine. In English, the magazine name means to look out into the world, across the horizon. The magazine opens up our world and community to you; whether you are a student, parent, staff member or friend of the College. 視 界 is about community. Together we can share the stories about what makes up this special group of hearts and minds. 視 界 is about perspectives. Our diversity is a strength and we can use the array of views and knowledge within our community to deepen our understanding about one another. 視 界 is about achievements. What better channel to showcase the student and staff work, accolades and acknowledgements than in this magazine. Now is the time to tell Hong Kong and the world about who we are and what we are about. You can look forward to receiving this wonderful publication twice a year, firstly in December and again in June. It will have regular articles such as student and staff achievements, alumni profiles, community news and student work on display throughout. Our feature articles in this issue focus on two very important areas of the College, play space for students and our Scholarship Programme, and I hope you read with interest about the progress we have been making. As well as this, I invite you to offer any suggestions or hopes for our community to help make 視 界 even better, and look forward to looking out into the world together.
