IN LABORE GAUDIUM

That’s the motto of the Tak Sun Secondary School in Hong Kong, one of the most tech savvy schools you will find anywhere. It means “Joy in duty”, and the 900+ students that attend the school have many reasons to be joyful. Founded in 2000, TSSS has spared no expensive in creating one of the best learning environments possible, complete with an Integrated Learning center, Language Studio and refreshing Canteen.

The high quality of Mackie gear (not to mention the reasonable price tag) led TSSL to contact Mackie to outfit their facility.

The large Performing Arts Theatre is home to a TT System32, feeding a 5.1 surround sound setup comprised entirely of SRM450s (and an SWA1801z for the LFE channel).

The Integrated Learning Center and Canteen also benefit from the punch and clarity of the SRM450, run through an Onyx 1620. The Student Activities Center features an 1402-VLZ3 routed through power amps to four C300z Passive Loudspeakers.

The school has a highly developed music arts program and performances are often recorded for archiving and distribution to adoring parents.

Mackie is proud to be a part of this great school. In fact, we would like everyone to join along as we sing the school song. click here for the music and follow the lyrics below:

Let us sing out for our school,
Backed by mountains, faced by sea.
Where we learn to write our poem of life,
And to live as family.

Where the bond of friendship's born,
With our classmates loyal and true.
As we strive to win our daily fight,
They're the strength that sees us through.

What the world needs today are generous men,
Who will serve our society.
Here the knowledge we gain, with our gifts and skills,
Will lead forward our mother country.

Take heart, one and all,
Every family, each teacher and boy.
Offering God work well done, setbacks overcome,
We will find in our duty, joy.
Through our love, in our duty, joy.
