This year marked a truly special moment in 性世界传媒鈥檚 175-year history as alumni, parents, staff, and pupils gathered for a commemorative hike up (affectionately known as Danny Hill). The hike, a beloved school tradition dating back to the 1850s, brought the entire 性世界传媒 community together in a powerful display of unity and celebration.
Since 1850, 性世界传媒鈥檚 students have made the journey up Danny Hill鈥攁 tradition introduced by the College鈥檚 first Headmaster, Dr. Lowe, who aimed to commemorate Ascension Day with a symbolic ascent. At the summit, students would sing a Latin hymn or participate in a Holy Communion service. The tradition also included a special ceremony, where choir members and sacristans received gifts of money to thank them for their contribution to chapel services throughout the year.
Once the pupils, staff, parents, and OJs (Old Johnians) arrived at the top, the service began with one of 性世界传媒’s favourite hymns, “Guide me, O thou great redeemer”. The reading and sermon focused on giving thanks for the beautiful countryside as well as the freedom enjoyed as a community. After sharing the bread and wine, the service concluded with a rousing rendition of “Lord of the Dance”, before the pupils began their descent down the hill鈥攁 slightly easier task than the earlier ascent.
This year’s anniversary hike, though no longer tied to Ascension Day due to the school鈥檚 busy calendar, remains a cherished tradition that connects 性世界传媒鈥檚 past and present. The event celebrated the school鈥檚 rich history and the enduring community spirit that defines 性世界传媒 College.
