Message from David Tong

Condolence to Roy and Gigi's families.
When I heard the bad news that our
beloved principal, Mr A C Morales had left us, my brain was surrounded with his voice singing his favorite song,
My Way. The lyric of the song, " I did it
my way", really reflected his character.
Sir, your gracious, kindness and humanity will always deep in my heart.
I am proud to be your student. I love you. May God be with you always.

Former president of Raimondi Old Boys Association.

Message from Stephen Chow

Mr. Morales, our beloved late principal,

 

Thank you for your support to Hong Kong Red Cross Cadet / Youth Unit 7 when you were our Unit Patron. I still remember your encouragement to us every time you attended our enrolment ceremony. Your welcoming address was always impressive and humorous to the audience . Whenever we launched our first aid service in school sports day and swimming gala, you often came to our post and talk to us graciously. Your English with some Chinese was always interesting.

 

Mr. Morales, you have already demonstrated an excellent example to the education system of Hong Kong. You have endlessly posed your influence and perfection to our juniors. We will never forget but continue your teaching consonant with the school motto "In Constantia Fortitudo".  

 

Chow, Wai Kit Stephen

Raimondi 50th Anniversary Dinner

Reunion Dinner: Class 1966

Note from Stephen Wu (Form 7, Class 1974)

Being the class monitor in my secondary school era, and having the privilege of serving as one of the editors of “Ripples” (the school newspaper) and School Magazine in Form 6, I was fortunate with the opportunity in meeting our beloved Principal in group and in person.

Though that was quite 40 years ago, your patience and guidance in our tender young days are still in my fond memories.  Apparently you being solemn and distant in the first sight, I was quickly moved and inspired by a principal of ideals and actions, an educator of care and concerns, a gentleman of discipline and scholarship, and a historian of knowledge and wisdom, and thus my heartfelt thanks for the quality pedagogy and stimulating schooling during my formative years in Raimondi College.  A Raimondian, we have been proud of and our alma mater in developing generations of graduates contributing to societies, locally or elsewhere, in one way or another, and here we sense and appreciate the power of education, and most importantly you sowed the seed with vision and mission.

 

"... And when we leave thy portals fair, At the parting of the ways, The mem'ry of our years with thee, we'll count among the best ..."  The school hymn resonates, with lovely memories of the school through you, and also of you.

 

We express our condolences, and pray for your repose in eternal peace in God's Hand.

Note from Francis Chan, Toronto

In the last hours, I collected my thoughts of Mr. Morales. I remember him as
a very understanding person when he was our principal. He had the kindest
patience to hear us out when we approached him with problems, personal and
academic. We never took any detour to avoid him on the playground or outside
the school and to some of the principals or teachers, we did. He had a great
sense of humour and it brought us closer to him whereas the otherwise, we
distant.

Mr. Morales continued to be the core to all of us after he retired from
school. In the earlier years, before his health took a bad turn, he attended
most of the Old Boys meetings and occasions. He was always the man of the
hour and we shared laughter and fond memories.

Bon Voyage Sir!
