The 60th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony & Inauguration of Student Leaders (30/9/2022)
The first thing that happened was the inauguration of the Student Leaders and of the Student Association. The nine chairpersons had made a vow that was witnessed by our Principal, Ms Cheung, and had their badges presented to them by different teachers, followed by speeches given by the former and new presidents of Student Association, Onyx, and an official transferal ceremony. Next up is the prize presentation for external awards and competitions that were held for the 60th anniversary, like the Slogan Design competition, Student Handbook Cover Design competition and Upcycling competition.
Finally, a speech was given by the principal and several ceremonies were held, the first one would be the time-capsule ceremony, which people put in items with special meanings into the capsule, and it would be reopened in 10 years. Next is the Ribbon-cutting ceremony, the ribbon was cut by school managers, signifying the start of the 60th anniversary celebrations. The last ceremonies were lighting and cake-cutting, which signified the start of a series of celebratory events! We had also witnessed a remarkable singing and musical performance at the very end. It was great!
The ceremony was unforgettable and fantastic in its own ways, the speeches were inspiring too. And congratulations to all those who received a prize!

德雅六十周年慶典啟動禮
金秋送爽，值此佳期，德雅中學在九月三十日，展開了六十週年慶典的序幕。
六十週年慶典以一連串的佳績開啟序章，由去年開始，學校已經進行了各項有關的比賽，如六十週年標語創作、學生手冊設計、壁報設計……得獎同學優異的作品意味著德雅中學已經邁進了一甲子，歲月荏苒，六十年彈指間白駒過隙，而德雅女兒原來經歷了如此驚艷歲月。
啟動禮另一個重要環節——封存時間囊，先由張嘉慧校長上台致辭，重申德雅中學的辦學核心及主持時間囊封存儀式，小小的時間囊內擺放入了各大組織的愛與期盼︰我校辦學團體顯主女修會會長曾修女回顧六十年前，慈幼會郭怡雅神父創立德雅中學，以上主恩寵定為基石，在困境中不忘初心作育英才，秉承聖若望鮑思高預防教育法的理念培育學生，於時間囊擺放了郭神父的照片、小傳及以其命名的獎學金獎狀；法團校董會肯定德雅中學持守天主教五大核心價值，作為發展之基；校友會回顧學校的發展歷程；家教會的感謝與祝福；在職老師一張張的心意卡；學生會親手製作的禮物「德雅心．星」……，各人一顆顆滾燙的心滙聚起來，凝結成一團火，將對學校的祝福及對學生的希冀通通坐上時光機寄給十年後的德雅中學，期望十年後再打開時，我們的願景、德雅精神得以一一實現。
隨著學生會推出精心準備的蛋糕和燈牌，三發鞭炮響起，一片昏暗驟然亮起斑斕的燈光，「TNSS 60」的字樣躍然於眾人眼前。台上、台下的每一個人都為此而雀躍歡呼，正式宣告德雅中學迎來六十週年，繼續邁向新領域。
十年之後，在座的老師或有斑白者，在座學生或許已是社會中堅，新生代的學生也將踏入德雅的大門，我們堅信德雅精神必將薪火相傳，生生不息。
