Global Career Forum on 1 November, 2014 (Saturday)
DSOBA and DBS Centre for Further Studies will be hosting this year’s Global Career Forum at 2:00pm on 1 November 2014 at the School Hall. In previous years, this event was called “University Day”. We would like to invite you to help out at this event.
DSOBA and DBS Centre for Further Studies have been hosting this event for many years with a lot of success, and this event has always been well received by current DBS boys and their parents. The event is aimed at helping upper form students to better understand and plan their higher education and career roadmap after DBS. In the past, the focus was on the university application process and choice of universities. Last year, we took a more rounded approach aiming to provide guidance regarding career options beyond their higher education. We will be doing so again this year, and with a view to better reflecting this approach, the name of the event has been changed to “Global Career Forum”.
The overall format of the event is similar to previous years’. Old boys will be sharing tips and advice with the students in a discussion group setting. We hope to have representatives from each of the four DSOBA professional chapters (medical, legal, IT and media, and design building and architecture) and graduates from a wide range of universities (Hong Kong, UK, USA and Australia) on hand to share their experience with the students.
It is intended to be informative but informal. No preparation should be needed, and you will just need to “speak your mind”. We plan to kick start the event with an optional lunch at 12:30pm in the Glass Pavilion. The discussion forum will start at 2 pm in the School Hall. The entire event should finish at around 4.30 pm.
We would like to invite you to attend and help out. Please let us know if you are interested and you can contact Maggie Ho or Sonia Huen at 2713-5268 or maggie@dsoba.org/ sonia@dsoba.org
We look forward to your support.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Fellow Old Boys:
I am excited to inform you all that DSOBA is in the process of forming our own Old Boys’ Chinese Orchestra (拔萃男書院舊生會中樂團).
The main objective of forming the DSOBA Chinese Orchestra is to reunite old boy Chinese orchestral musicians from graduation classes that stretch over different years. Our mission is to preserve the School’s tradition of musical excellence as well as to participate in events both within and outside our School to serve the Diocesan family as well as the community at large in the coming years.
Regarding this, we have already received very good responses from a number of old boy Chinese orchestral musicians who will be joining our newly-established Chinese orchestra. They are from three existing reputable Chinese orchestras in Hong Kong, namely宏光國樂團,樂樂國樂團and薈萃國樂會. 宏光,樂樂and薈萃are three of the finest active amateur Chinese orchestras in the city. These three Chinese orchestras are founded by our old boys, and many of their existing members are also old boy Chinese orchestral musicians.
I would like take this opportunity to express sincere thanks to Dr. Li Chun Sang 李俊生 (Class of ’68, Music Director of宏光), Dr. Lawrence Leung 梁志鏘 (Class of ’74, Music Director of 樂樂), Mr. Albert Wong (Class of ’83, Convener of our DSOBA Chinese Orchestra) and Mr. Jason See (Class of ’05, Committee Member of 薈萃) for their full support on this meaningful initiative. Quite a number of old boy musicians have also pledged to support this endeavor.
This is a calling for reunion, brothers! We would like to summon old boys’ bowed strings (inclusive of cello and double bass), plucked strings, woodwinds and percussion players.
Our first mission shall take place in the second half of this year. Details will be circulated soon. In the meantime, if you would like to be a part of this initiative, please email info@dsoba.org as soon as you can and provide your cert year, year(s) in school Chinese orchestra (if any), contact details and the type of musical instruments that you are playing. Feel free to call us at 2713-5268 if you have any questions.
Come and unleash the musicians within you! The future of our Old Boys’ Chinese Orchestra relies on you!!
Look forward to seeing you very soon.
Best,
David Wong
DSOBA Music
