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30日舉行第三屆畢業禮。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30日舉行的JEMS Learning House第三屆畢業禮暨社區籌款活動，由150位年齡介乎3至12歲的JEMS Learning House全年課程學生親自籌劃，各學員施展渾身解數，為香港耀能協會羅怡基紀念學校籌得約港幣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約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，受惠機構香港耀能協會羅怡基紀念學校周雅儀校長隨即致辭，向每一位傾盡全力策劃活動的JEMS學生致謝。特別嘉賓2010年度十大傑出青年及三指鋼琴家黃愛恩博士除了分享其排除萬難攻讀音樂的親身經驗之外，更帶同學生簡恩翹即席表演，悠揚的樂韻，叫在場人士如癡如醉。隨後，足畫家陳冬梅小姐亦獲邀上台，即席揮毫，分享「神是愛」的訊息，為是日活動添上濃濃的愛與感動。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，為香港耀能協會羅怡基紀念學校籌款。在籌款活動結束後，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，叫一眾導師及家長皆為他們感到驕傲。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。」

Renowned as the expert of Character Education for children up to the age of 12, JEMS Learning House held its 3rd Graduation Ceremony cum Community Fundraiser Event on the 30th of June 2012. 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 had been taught into practice and working together to contribute to the community. Held on the 30th of June, the JEMS Graduation Ceremony cum Community Fundraiser Event was initiated by 150 students aged 3 to 12, each of them giving their best with the sole purpose of raising funds for  the SAHK B M Kotewall Memorial School. The hard work of students paid off with an encouraging figure, as over HKD100,000 was raised at this fundraising event.

The JEMS Graduation Ceremony cum Community Fundraiser Event attracted an attendance of about 400 guests. The event was kicked off by a welcome speech delivered by Ms Christine Ma, Founder and Principal of JEMS Learning House. Then, Principal Chow of the SAHK B M Kotewall Memorial School expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the JEMS students for their endeavours in the preparation of the fundraising event. Dr Connie Wong, renowned pianist and winner of the Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons of Hong Kong 2010, was then invited on stage to share her story about conquering difficulties and striving for becoming a pianist. Apart from performing herself, Dr Wong also brought along her student Eunice Kan to perform to the audience. While the audience were indulged with the touching notes that Dr Wong and Eunice presented, foot artist Chan Tung Mui was invited on stage to share the message of “God is love”.

Apart from the sensational 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 the SAHK B M Kotewall Memorial School. After the Fundraiser was closed, all the students attended the Graduation Ceremony to celebrate their 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 a junior leader to serve our community. The success of this meaningful 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. We are all so proud of them! I sincerely hope that the students can exercise what they have learnt at JEMS in their daily lives and act as ‘Junior Excellent Members of Society’.”

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