校長鈞鑒：

於全球超過40個國家舉行的、一年一度的「品格日」，定於2017年9月13日舉行，為響應此全球品格教育盛事，「香港品格日」亦定於當日隆重揭幕。擔任「香港品格日」支持機構的一口田慈善教育基金謹代表香港品格教育協會，誠邀貴校參與盛事，與我們攜手，推動香港的品格教育。

去年由品格教育協會首辦的「香港品格日」，獲得社會各界熱烈迴響，以及超過200家學校、機構及團體響應支持。今年繼往開來，「2017香港品格日」定於9月13日隆重揭幕，並以「善良Kindness」為主題，以「選擇善良」為口號，並邀得七位社會名人擔任「香港品格日大使」，包括：香港行政會議召集人及全國人大代表陳智思先生，GBS，JP、著名歌手鄭秀文女士、人稱「明哥」的深水埗北河同行始創人陳灼明先生、基督教正生書院校長陳兆焯先生、鮮魚行學校前校長梁紀昌先生、救狗之家創辦人Sally Andersen女士及香港社會創投基金創辦人及社會企業Green Monday聯合創辦人魏華星先生，為活動拍攝宣傳短片，分享對「善良」的看法，推動社會大眾一同「選擇善良」。

亞馬遜創辦人貝佐斯曾說：「聰明是一種天賦，善良是一種選擇。」聰明與否是與生俱來的，然而善良與否則取決於我們自己的決定。日常生活上的大小事情，皆可以心存善念、以善良的方式去處理。而當我們把善良化作行動，也定能感染他人，令善良的美事傳遍整個社區及城市。

品格教育協會誠邀貴校參與「2017香港品格日」。一經報名，將可取得連結，下載品格日的一系列推廣物品，包括各品格日大使的宣傳短片、學校的建議活動、課堂大綱及工作紙等，以便在貴校進行「2017香港品格日」活動。有興趣的學校只需登入www.characterday.hk 填妥網上報名表格，並在2017年9月13日至2018年5月31日期間完成以下步驟：

  1. 出席於2017年9月13日下午4時假德福廣場舉行之揭幕禮；
  2. 一同觀看一段由我們提供、關於「善良」及品格的短片；
  3. 進行一項關於「選擇善良」的活動（例如一同參與傳播「善良」的義工活動、創作以「善良」為題的壁畫、分享自己「選擇善良」的經驗等）；
  4. 於2018年5月31日前向品格教育協會提交貴校「選擇善良」的活動相片，並完成問卷。

Dear School Principal,

I am writing on behalf of Character Education Foundation to cordially invite your school to participate in 2017 Character Day Hong Kong, a character education movement organized by Character Education Foundation and supported by Seedland Educational Charitable Foundation to be held on 13th September 2017.

Character Day is an international character education event supported by over 40 countries across the globe. Following the tremendous success of the first Character Day Hong Kong launched last year, receiving the support from over 200 schools, corporations and organizations, Character Education Foundation is delighted to announce that the 2017 Character Day Hong Kong will be kicked off on the 13th of September featuring the theme “Kindness” with “Choose Kindness” as the slogan. The Foundation is much honoured to have invited seven ambassadors, including Mr. Bernard Chan, GBS, JP, Convenor of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Hong Kong Deputy to the National People's Congress of the People’s Republic of China, Ms. Sammi Cheng, renowned singer, Mr. Chan Cheuk-ming (a.k.a. Ming Gor), Founder of Pei Ho Counterparts in Sham Shui Po, Mr. Alman Chan, Principal of Christian Zheng Sheng College, Mr. Leung Kee-cheong, Former Principal of Fresh Fish Traders’ School, Ms. Sally Andersen, Founder of Hong Kong Dog Rescue, and Mr. Francis Ngai, Founder of Social Ventures Hong Kong and Co-founder of Green Monday, to endorse the event, share their insights into “Kindness” in a series of short films and call upon the public to “Choose Kindness”.

Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon, once said, “Cleverness is a gift, Kindness is a choice.” Cleverness is something bestowed upon us but kindness is something we each have the power to choose. In small ways or big, we can each choose to act kindly. And when one act of kindness inspires another, we can have a kinder community and city.

Character Education Foundation cordially invites your school to take part in 2017 Character Day Hong Kong. Participating schools will receive access to an array of educational resources, including videos of ambassadors, school activity ideas, lesson plans, worksheets and much more, to facilitate further enhancement of character education in your school. Please sign up at www.characterday.hk and complete the following steps within the period of 13th September 2017 to 31st May 2018:

  1. Attend the kick-off ceremony on 13th September 2017 at 4pm at Telford Plaza
  2. Watch a short video on “Kindness” and Character provided by the Foundation
  3. Choose Kindness through an activity of choice (e.g. doing volunteer work, creating art with the theme “Kindness”, sharing individual experiences of “Choosing Kindness”, etc.)
  4. Submit photos of how your school chose kindness and complete a reflection form before 31st May 2018.
