向以「培育社會傑出小成員」（JEMS = Junior Excellent Members of Society）為己任的JEMS Learning House，於本年6月22日舉行第四屆畢業禮。JEMS Learning House的品德教育課程以「Identity」、「Relationships」及「Community」三大元素為中心，小小學員在過去一年透過不同的活動認識自己的身份（Identity）及學習與人建立關係（Relationships），學期終結，同學們有機會活學活用，身體力行回饋社會（Community）。剛於6月22日舉行的JEMS Learning House第四屆畢業禮暨社區籌款活動，由逾150位年齡介乎3至12歲的JEMS Learning House全年課程學生親自籌劃，各學員傾盡全力，為香港聾人協進會籌款籌得約港幣10萬元善款，成績教人鼓舞。

是日，畢業禮暨社區籌款活動吸引了逾400位嘉賓出席，場面熱鬧。活動首先由JEMS Learning House創辦人馬露明校長致辭揭開序幕，受惠機構香港聾人協進會行政總監吳應勇先生隨即致辭，向策劃及統籌活動的JEMS學生致謝。一連串精采表演隨即展開，其中最感動人心的，莫過於由JEMS Learning House的學生及香港聾人協進會的學生攜手表演的歌曲節目「Love is Special」。

除了台上的表演活動之外，逾百位JEMS學生更合力設置了多個遊戲攤位，以及出售由學生親自創作的精緻禮品的義賣攤位，為香港聾人協進會籌款。只見學生們向在場喜賓熱烈推銷，務求打破往年的籌款紀錄，氣氛熱鬧。籌款活動結束後，同學們在親友的見證下進行結業禮，為多姿多采的學年畫上圓滿的句號。

JEMS Learning House創辦人馬露明校長表示：「培養孩子的同理心、啟發他們珍惜所有、鼓勵他們回饋社會一直是JEMS Learning House的辦學宗旨。看見年紀輕輕的學生能夠眾志成城地籌辦是次籌款活動，把過去一年從課堂中學會的關愛精神、團隊合作精神、溝通技巧、責任心等一一實踐，為本年度的課程作總結，令我非常感動。希望JEMS的學生能夠把所學實踐至生活之中，成為才德兼備的社會傑出小成員。在此，我亦衷心感謝各位家長及來賓的支持，『培育社會傑出小成員』的目標有賴各方攜手，方能共證成果。」

Renowned as the expert of Character Education for children up to the age of 12, JEMS Learning House held its 4th Graduation Ceremony cum Community Fundraiser Event on the 22nd of June 2013. Based on the three core values covered by JEMS Learning House – “Identity”, “Relationships” and “Community” – the students of its annual programme discovered their uniqueness and own identity, and learned to develop strong relationships with people, via a great variety of activities and lessons. JEMS students were then given an opportunity to round the semester up by putting what they had learnt into practice and working together to contribute to the community. The JEMS Graduation Ceremony cum Community Fundraiser Event was initiated by over 150 students aged 3 to 12, each of them giving their best to work towards the goal of raising funds for Hong Kong Association of the Deaf. An encouraging figure – over HKD100,000 was raised at the fundraising event.

The JEMS Graduation Ceremony cum Community Fundraiser Event attracted an attendance of over 400 guests. The event was kicked off by a welcome speech by Ms Christine Ma, Founder and Principal of JEMS Learning House. Mr. Ng Ying Gung, Executive Director of Hong Kong Association of the Deaf, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the JEMS students for their endeavours in the preparation of the fundraising event. The JEMS students then took the stage to present a series of sensational performances including a singing performance “Love is Special” jointly performed by JEMS students and students of Hong Kong Association of the Deaf.

Apart from the heartwarming stage performances, a number of fundraising booths were set up at the venue by the students. A total of over HKD100,000 was raised for Hong Kong Association of the Deaf. After the Fundraiser was closed, a Graduation Ceremony was held to celebrate the students’ year-long achievement in the accompaniment of parents, relatives and friends.

Ms Christine Ma, Principal of JEMS Learning House was gratified by the students’ dedication, “JEMS Learning House strives to inspire children to be compassionate and thankful and thereby equip them to be ‘Junior Excellent Members of Society’. The success of today’s event should be credited to this group of young children as they have spent a long time on preparing and working closely with each other to come up with what we see now. I am delighted to see them round up the Annual Programme by putting lessons learnt such as compassion, teamwork, communication and responsibility into practice. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the parents and guests who have supported the Fundraiser as well as our mission in helping the children to build proper values and characters.”

The upcoming JEMS Annual Programme is now open for application. To sign up for free trial classes, please call 3188-1516.
