Filled with the joy of reunion, the alumni shared their updated development and New Year blessings with one another, further strengthening the close ties among themselves.

Despite residing in Australia, the alumni always have the Chinese traditional festivals in their hearts, especially the lunar reunion which traditionally celebrates the yearlong hard-work, and good harvest of farmers in the form of dramas that pray for blessings in the coming years.

The Association also organized another dinner gathering at Modern Chinese Restaurant (Chinatown) of Sydney on 10 March 2012 to celebrate the 56^th Anniversary of HKBU. Riding on this occasion, the Association sent its appreciation to alumni for supporting the University over the years.
