「每個人都是上帝的寶貝,具有其獨特性和可塑性。學校的使命在於發掘和發展他們的潛能,使他們的生命展現光芒。」
這既是我的教育信念,亦體現了慕德中學的辦學宗旨和方向。我們期望栽培學生於不同範疇的能力,讓他們能更好地裝備自己,以應對二十一世紀的挑戰,特別是在逆境中仍能以堅毅的心沉著應對,最終成就更好的自己。此外,作為一所基督教學校,我們亦看重建立學生的正面價值觀,而耶穌基督親身實踐何謂僕人領袖,正好成為我們的榜樣。
2025年是慕德中學建校75周年。在過去四分之三個世紀,慕德中學秉持基督真理,著重培育學生的「六育」(德、智、體、群、美、靈)。多年來本校校友於不同領域作貢獻所長,並熱心提攜後學,把學校的美好傳統代代傳承下去。深信在上帝的恩領和教學團隊的齊心協力下,學校必定能在先哲前賢的基礎上,繼續肩負教育使命,以「宏揚主愛‧追求豐盛」、「關愛同行‧啟航尋夢」和「創知展能‧力爭卓越」作願景,為社會、國家以至世界培育更多優秀人才。
宏揚主愛,追求豐盛
教育不單著重知識的傳授,品德的培育亦同等重要。在價值觀越趨模糊的世代,培養青少年有明辨真理、擇善而行的態度和能力實在至為重要。慕德中學是一所基督教學校,因此我們十分看重對學生的靈性培育,亦藉不同機會向他們傳揚福音,使他們活出豐盛的人生。〈約翰福音〉10:10這樣說︰「我來了,是要叫人得生命,並且得的更豐盛。」耶穌基督珍視每個學生的價值,也深願他們藉基督教信仰得著永恆的生命。「扎根基督真理」一直是慕德中學的核心價值,也是我們秉持的原則。
關愛同行‧啟航尋夢
慕德中學以「關愛同行」為信念,致力幫助每個學生成就自己的夢想。老師藉陪伴傾談,幫助同學更深入認識自己,並按能力、興趣和性格特質訂立目標。在實踐目標的道路上,同學難免會遇到挫折和困難,因而感到沮喪和無助。校長和老師又為他們送上的鼓勵、一張心意卡又或一份小禮物,凡此種種都彷如荒漠中的甘泉,令他們重燃鬥志,堅毅地跨越生命中一個個難關,朝著美好遠大的夢想進發。
創知展能‧力爭卓越
二十一世紀是一個變幻不定、,也是人工智能發展急速的時代。慕德中學的課程與時並進,整體規劃緊貼教育發展趨勢,當中尤其著重引發學生對探求新知識的好奇心和建立自主學習的習慣,幫助他們更有系統地獲取知識。此外,我們深信每個學生都各有所長,學校藉不同範疇的活動,為他們提供展示才能的舞台,並鼓勵他們要力求進步,突破自己,從而令自己的生命發出更耀眼的光芒。
慕德中學以「信義仁愛」為校訓,而我們每一位教職員、家長、校友和學生都稱呼自己為「慕德人」(QMERs)。慕德人有六項特質,包括︰渴「慕」成長、追求美「德」、待人誠「信」、秉行公「義」、處事寬「仁」、對人關「愛」,當中不但包含了校名和校訓,也成為慕德人之間的共同語言,確立了彼此的身份認同。同時,這些特質亦正好展示我們對學生立身處世的要求,提醒他們不單要有頭腦上的認知,更要在生活中加以實踐,成為知行合一的人。
作為校長,要管理這所歷史悠久的學校,我感到任重而道遠。我會以謙恭的心去與不同持份者交流,聆聽他們的意見,並以上帝所賜的智慧去發展學校,提升教學團隊的專業,並善用資源開拓各類型的其他學習經歷,讓學生於不同範疇均得到適切的培育。我深信,那位昔日藉先賢之手創立慕德中學的上帝,未來會繼續賜福予學校,讓我們成為明亮的燈臺,照亮他人,成為社會、香港以至世界的祝福。

Every person is God's treasure, unique and malleable. Our school’s mission is to discover and develop their potential, making their lives shine.
This is my educational vision and the mission and goal of QMSS. We aspire to cultivate students' diverse abilities, equipping them to meet the challenges of the 21st century, particularly enabling them to remain resilient in the face of adversity, ultimately achieving greater personal fulfillment. Furthermore, as a Christian school, we prioritize fostering positive values in our students, and Jesus Christ, through His personal example of servant leadership, serves as a fitting model for us.
2025 marks the 75th anniversary of QMSS. For the past three-quarters of a century, our school has upheld Christian truth and emphasized the cultivation of students' "six aspects" (moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic, and spiritual). Over the years, our alumni have contributed greatly to diverse fields and enthusiastically mentored future generations, carrying on the school's fine traditions from generation to generation. We firmly believe that with God's grace and the concerted efforts of our teaching team, the school will continue to fulfill its educational mission, building on the legacy of our predecessors. With the visions of "Proclaim the Love of God, Pursue the Fullness of Life", "Be Cherished: Embark on a Journey of Enlightenment" and "Explore, Extend and Excel", we will nurture more outstanding talents for society, the nation, and the world.
Proclaim the Love of God, Pursue the Fullness of Life
Education emphasizes not only the imparting of knowledge but also the cultivation of moral character. In an age where values are becoming increasingly blurred, cultivating the attitudes and abilities in young people to discern truth and choose what is good is of paramount importance. As a Christian school, QMSS places great emphasis on the spiritual development of our students and takes every opportunity to share the gospel with them, enabling them to live abundant lives. John 10:10 says, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Jesus Christ values the worth of every student and deeply desires that they may gain eternal life through the Christian faith. "Rooted in Christian truth" has always been the core value of QMSS and the principle we uphold.
Be Cherished: Embark on a Journey of Enlightenment
Guided by the motto "Caring for Students" our school is dedicated to helping every student achieve their dreams. Through conversations and support, teachers help students gain a deeper understanding of themselves and set goals based on their abilities, interests, and personality traits. On the road to achieving their goals, students inevitably encounter setbacks and difficulties, leading to feelings of frustration and helplessness. The encouragement, a card, or a small gift from the principal and teachers is like a spring in the desert, rekindling their spirit and enabling them to persevere through life's challenges and pursue their dreams.
Explore, Extend and Excel
The 21st century is an era of constant change and rapid advancement in artificial intelligence. Our school's curriculum remains current, and closely aligns with educational trends. It places a particular emphasis on fostering students' curiosity for new knowledge and cultivating self-directed learning habits, helping them acquire knowledge in a more systematic manner. We firmly believe that every student has unique strengths. Through diverse activities, the school provides a platform for them to showcase their talents and encourages them to strive for progress and breakthroughs, thereby making their lives shine brighter.
QMSS's motto is "Faith, Righteousness, Benevolence, and Love." Our staff, parents, alumni, and students refer to themselves as "QMers". These characteristics of QMers are: being in "admiration" for growth and "virtue", treating others with "faith", "righteousness", "benevolence" and "love". These qualities not only embody the school's name and motto but also serve as a common language among QMers, establishing their shared identity. These characteristics also perfectly reflect the way we expect our students to conduct themselves in society, reminding them not only to acquire intellectual knowledge but also to put it into practice in their daily lives, becoming individuals who integrate knowledge and action.
As the principal of this historic school, I feel it will be a long and arduous journey to manage it. I will humbly engage with various stakeholders, listen to their opinions, and use God's wisdom to develop the school, enhance the professionalism of the teaching team, and effectively utilize resources to develop various types of learning experiences, so that students can receive all-round development. I firmly believe that the God who once laid the foundation of QMSS through the hands of our predecessors will continue to bless the school in the future, allowing us to be a beacon to illuminate others and be a blessing to society, Hong Kong, and the world.
