Father's Day Lunch Gathering

Father's Day Lunch Gathering

The Father’s Day Lunch Gathering was successfully held on 21 June 2026, bringing together Fellows, specialist trainees, and their families for an enjoyable afternoon of celebration and connection.

To mark the occasion, a themed Father’s Day photo backdrop featuring stylish decorations and festive props was set up, allowing participants to capture treasured family moments and celebrate the important role of fathers in their lives.

Guests enjoyed a delicious dim sum lunch accompanied by fine tea in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The event was warmly received and provided an excellent opportunity for Fellows and their families to come together in appreciation of fatherhood while strengthening bonds within the College community.
