HK SALESIAN GETS KEY UNI APPOINTMENT

HONG KONG: 11th March -- Fr. Peter Newbery, presently Director of Hong

Kong's Salesian Youth Outreach programme, has been appointed to a

teaching position within the University of Hong Kong, specifically to

teach a youth course to intending social worker graduates. Fr. Newbery

is himself a graduate of HKU, and has a further post-graduate diploma in

Criminology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Fr. Newbery, who has extensive experience working with problem youth,

and who was decorated by Queen Elizabeth II for his work as Chaplain

General to Hong Kong prisons, has said that it is not just a personal

honour to be invited to take up this post, but that it was most

appropriate for Salesians to have an influential presence amongst future

social workers in Hong Kong.

The course commences in September, and will focus on social work

practice with delinquents and other young people experiencing emotional

and behavioural problems.
