90TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHUNG LING HIGH SCHOOL
Ninety years since the founding of Chung Ling High School, two days brought together Alumni members from all over the world. The opening ceremony, held at the school, captured memories of Chung Ling's long eventful history, beautifully portrayed through a dramatic play. Moving accounts of the years during the Second World War and of the students who fought were honoured in a video documentary. This opening ceremony recounted to students old and new of the importance of hard work and loyalty to the school.

The afternoon of the first day displayed the solidarity of all the old students with a march procession round the school. Each member carried a colourful balloon that was released after the speeches. Dance and music performances by the current students marked the end of the first day's celebrations.

38TH WORLD-WIDE CHUNG LING ALUMNI CARNIVAL MELBOURNE, DECEMBER 2006
FOREWORD
It gives me great pleasure on behalf of the UK alumni to give my enthusiastic and wholehearted support to the Melbourne Carnival 2006 of the World-wide Chung Ling Alumni.
The organising committee must be congratulated on undertaking yet again this important event in Melbourne and for taking on the arduous and time-consuming responsibility this involves. The success of the Carnival will be measured by the support from the alumni but this success cannot be achieved without the hard work that has gone into its organisation by the local alumni.
The Carnival gives us a very special occasion to renew and strengthen ties of friendship, as well as to present an opportunity for alumni from all parts of the world to gather together once a year and make new friends, especially from the new generations of alumni. The Carnival also provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among the alumni which hopefully may be of benefit to all.
On such an occasion we are able to honour the school in what it has done for us and previous generations. It helps to ensure the continuity of the Chung Ling spirit and our work for the years to come.
We should not need to remind ourselves that the most significant purpose of the alumni organisation is to support the development of the school and promote the spirit and traditions of Chung Ling. It is crucial that the variety of viewpoints of the many members of the alumni organisation are heard, but most important is the need for the forward development of the organisation to be on a united front. Chung Ling is bigger than any individual and greater than the sum of its parts.
I hope that all of the alumni will give their support to the Carnival and that as many as possible will have the opportunity of visiting it and participating in this event.
Lee Phong Thuan,
Chairman Chung Ling Alumni UK
