His Gifts to Us – Stephen SiuFung KO DBS 1980

Mr. Lowcock set a perfect and professional example of selflessness and loyalty in serving DBS and his students tirelessly, so that we could all enjoy better knowledge of rights from wrongs, a great fraternity and a desire to emulate him in spreading the school’s unparalleled social values and cohesive spirit.

Thousands treasure his gifts and thereupon so many more will benefit.

May those who know or hear about Mr. Lowcock continue to make him proud for decades to come!

In Memory of Mr. Lowcock – Chan Meng Chak (Class of 63)

Mr. Lowcock was my form master teaching Pysicis when I joined DBS in April 1960 from Macaowith very little capability of English.

I still can remember well the way he taught chemist – no test book but provided us notes in very simple English.  He also spoke good Cantonese.

It was the next school year that he turned up to be the Headmaster and I noticed that he did not say a word in the first assembly but asked those students who went to the movie of Ben Hur to stay behind and did give us a lesson because of our misconduct in the theatre.

I enjoyed those days in DBS as a boarder and under the leadership of Mr. Lowcock.

Collective responsibility – all for one and one for all – Wong Lok Foo (1982)

When I was in Form 2, somebody sent a note to the Prefects.  I did not read it but the content would probably fall within ‘insulting prefect’ in the school rules.  (My classmates would probably have more details.)

Memories – Stephen SHIH Class of 1979

Still not sure how to start cause it had being so many year ago.

This one summer night in Shatin Hotel ( 1967) when I was out with my father we ran into each other and there he was, a classmate of my Uncle Eugene and 1 year under my father .

Second thing I knew I was sitting with a prefect call James Lau staring at our field.

The same year September I become a boarder in DBS and studying in DPS.

I guess DPS days was the best cause no school rules apply to us, starting  Form 1 thing are different for those who still remember pulling out that chair in the head master office and bending over.

For those who I knew well enough we all love him one way order the other.

I am so proud be a DBS boy until today , the caring and love given to us will be always in my heart .

With our school spirit I am sure Lowcork will not be bored now, you are free do whatever you like .

Beer and  Benson and Hedges should be free after joining the new club .

There is just too much to write after living so many years in DBS .

If you want to hear more stories, you know where to find me.  

My  condolence, to the family esp Brain .

SJ Lowcock – Hsu, Chi-yuan

SJ Lowcock was inspiring and charismatic; an important reason many of us felt DBS was a school not like any other in Hong Kong.  We were freed to think independently always, to be comrades-in-arms with other boys often and to assume the mantle of leadership on occasion.

My Memory of SJ Lowcock – Tsang Pui Sum (’73)

Mr S.J. Lowcock has dedicated his life in the running of DBS as the headmaster.

Through sports and other co-curriculum activities, in addition to the normal academic pursues, we were given the opportunity to fully develop ourselves at our own paces.

He led with his charm and also the cane, maintaining a liberal yet safe environment for young minds to be cultivated.

One of his greatest success is that he touched many of our lives through his personal approach.

He was truly a remarkable and successful headmaster.

May he rest in peace with the Lord.
