Centenary face mask embodies QC character and perseverance

2021.09.15

Queen's College Old Boys' Association (QCOBA) today (September 15) launched its Centenary face mask "Labor Omnia Vincit" as another Centenary initiative prior to QC 160th Anniversary (QC160).

The Honorary Adviser of QCOBA and Chair of Infectious Diseases of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, Prof YUEN Kwok-yung, appealed to Old Boys to maintain hand hygiene and keep wearing a mask for personal protection amid the epidemic. Celebrating both QCOBA Centenary and QC160, the face mask reminds us of the dual meaning "celebration with protection". He urged QC Boys to live up to the school motto in the epidemic, looking after ourselves and then those around us, with a view to serving the community as set out in the theme of QC160.

In the school tie's colour and pattern being with us for decades, the mask box set not only recalls the intimacy of the alma mater, but also recaps the school motto as our recipe for success, which has become even more important in braving year-long challenges. The greyish-white face mask carrying the same motto embodies both the QC character and perseverance necessary in giving of ourselves for the greater good in the epidemic. Details are as follows:
