Opening Address by the Principal at the Initiation Ceremony of the “Knotting Hearts Action for Resisting Drugs Campaign”「同心結力抗毒大行動」啟動禮校長致辭 Date: 17-12-10

Good morning, fellow teachers and students. To promote healthy lifestyle in the Environmental Education Week and echo the anti-drug campaign launched by the Education Bureau, our school has joined the “Knotting Hearts Action for Resisting Drugs Campaign”「同心結力抗毒大行動」 . We have to be aware of the perilous effects of drug abuse and make sure that all of us should say ‘no’ to drug. Aiming at creating a hygienic, healthy and drug-free environment, a whole-school anti-drug education campaign is launched. In this campaign, we will put on a Yellow and Blue double-coloured knots to show our determination to resist drugs. We called it the ‘Heart Knot’ 同心結 . Knot may mean unity or insurmountable difficulties. Heart stands for love. In other words, it is a love knot. It symbolizes that ‘We love’, ‘We unite’ and ‘Together we overcome all problems and have the courage to meet any adversities’. Last of all, may I wish all of you ‘a Healthy Living, a Happy Life’ and always remember to say ‘NO’ to Drug 拒絕毒品 健康人生 . Thank You.

Supplementary Information on the Meaning ofthe ‘Heart Knot’ in Chinese

同心結的英譯是 The Heart Knot。結與 Knot 一樣是多義詞。既可以指大家團結一心，齊齊參與；也可指難解之結，需要努力開解；還可指愛心之結（Love Knot），真心關愛下一代。
