Community Engagement
As a school community, we seek to raise consciousness of our social responsibility to the wider communities
that we’re an integral part of. Our students are encouraged to consider themselves as full members of their
local, national and global communities. Membership of these communities carries rights and responsibilities,
and our students graduate from CKY with a keen awareness of their sense of duty towards their broader
community. We cultivate active citizenship and Community Engagement among our students. We aspire for
students to be not only aware and knowledgeable of the social ills and challenges confronted by our
neighbours locally, nationally and globally. Far from shaping a generation of armchair spectators, our
emphasis on well-rounded character development engenders a spirit of active community service among
students who are compassionate and engaged in tackling some of the problems facing society.
This edition of the CKY Newsletter pays tribute to some of the many ways in which our students are making a
positive wider impact outside of our school community. Our students benefit from various opportunities to
actively learn about environmental sustainability and how they can help in practical ways to reduce their
carbon footprint. Competitions, field trips and guest speaker sessions bring these key issues to life and leave
a lasting impression on our students’ personal values.
With many of our wonderfully supportive parent volunteers

Wishing you good health, peace and happiness in the Year of the Tiger!

alumni sharing
Our students’ are engaged in volunteering work through
community service, while preparing and delivering Boxes of Joy
to neighbours in our community who are less privileged, as well
as CAS experiences where our IB students are of active service
to local NGOs and charities. By engaging in service to their
wider local communities, our students become reflective and
active citizens who understand their place in society and their
duty towards building a better world.
As usual, this edition of the CKY Newsletter is packed
with news and updates across our Primary and Secondary
sections, which reflect a thriving school community full of life,
vigour and vibrancy. Despite the latest move to full-day online
learning that we are now all too accustomed to, our wide array of
extra-curricular activities, some of which are featured in this
edition, highlight our school’s enduring vision to realise the
unique potential of every child by providing a joyful education
that is rich in opportunity, variety and care. As always, we are
ever thankful to our devoted parents and teachers for their
tireless support and close cooperation in achieving our
educational mission.
We wish you and your family an abundance of good health, joy
and prosperity in the Chinese New Year of the Tiger!

It’s funny how we throw around
big words such as “climate action”
and “waste reduction” like it’s
nothing. Most of us in the CKY
community are educated and
aware of the environmental crisis
in Hong Kong, but we are too
preoccupied with exams and
school to be mindful of how we
actively worsen the issue. It is not
an eccentric, un-cool thing to
connect with nature. Rather, it is
problematic that we pay so little
attention to our surroundings.
With this in mind, our CAS project
group chose environmental
conservation as our area of
engagement during challenge
week. To appreciate what others
have done to improve our
environment, we paid a visit to
Wetland Park and Kadoorie Farm,
where we participated in native
tree conservation and learnt about
wetland wildlife. Although many of
us have visited these places early
in our childhoods, we seemed to
YEAR 12
forget about them and their
significance as we grew up: which
is why it was a much-needed
reminder of what we will lose if we
do not take responsibility for our
surroundings.
Then we decided to contribute our
efforts to resolve this issue, by
engaging in trail cleaning at Lion
Rock with the Conservancy
Association, and beach cleaning
at Lung Kwu Tan and Lung Ha
Wan. The conditions of those
locations were simply shocking:
we even began calling Lung Ha
Wan “styrofoam beach” from the
styrofoam particles blanketed
across the sand. At Lung Kwu Tan
we picked up around 20 large
sacks of rope, fishing line, bottle
caps, cigarettes and plastic
straws, although the beach looked
spotless from a distance (except
for the suspiciously black sand,
which turned out to be from
pollution). This begs the question,
why does nature have to shoulder
Y12 WORKING WITH CHILDREN
the consequences of our actions?
A lot of the rubbish we saw on the
trails were discarded there
deliberately (toilet paper balls on
trees, bags of leftover soft drinks
etc.), so why didn’t our community
take the extra small step to place
their litter into a trash can? It was
something that we couldn’t make
sense of.
At the end of the week, we met up
with Ecodrive, an organisation that
taught us the importance of
reducing the consumption of
plastics, an approach to reducing
waste that is far more efficient
than recycling. Drinking one less
cup of boba tea per week could
mean reducing up to 5 pieces of
non-biodegradable plastics. And if
every citizen in Hong Kong made
an effort to order 1 less drink…
which is why we believe climate
and environmental action is a
community effort, but always
starts with the individual.

YEAR 11
今 年 , 我 們 學 校 的 CAS( 創 意 、 活 動 和 服 務 ) 挑 戰 週 , 我 們 組 的 服 務 對 象 主 要 是 流 浪 的 貓 和 狗 。 我 們 希 望 透
過 這 ⼀ 個 星 期 更 深 ⼊ 地 了 解 流 浪 貓 狗 的 現 狀 , 以 及 如 何 去 幫 助 他 們 。 我 們 的 計 畫 是 分 別 探 訪 兩 間 機 構 ,HKSCDA
(⾹ 港 拯 救 貓 狗 協 會 ) 以 及 HKSFF, 在 過 程 之 中 我 們 會 照 顧 貓 狗 的 起 居 飲 ⻝, 整 理 他 們 的 居 住 環 境 , 甚 ⾄ 會 與 他 們
進 ⾏ 互 動 , 與 貓 狗 玩 耍 和 散 步 。
⼀ 開 始 , 我 的 ⼼ 情 ⼗ 分 忐 忑 。⼀⽅⾯ 我 從 來 沒 接 觸 過 流 浪 貓 狗 , 不 太 清 楚 他 們 與 寵 物 貓 狗 的 區 別 ; 另 ⼀⽅⾯ 是
我 鮮 少 照 顧 貓 狗 的 ⽇ 常 ⽣ 活 , 擔 ⼼ 在 過 程 中 出 現 任 何 的 差 錯 。 在 與 流 浪 貓 狗 的 相 處 之 後 , 我 發 覺 他 們 和 普 通 寵 物 貓
狗 其 實 沒 有 什 麼 差 別 , 差 別 是 在 於 流 浪 貓 狗 的 ⾃ 我 保 護 意 識 很 ⾼, 在 ⾯ 對 陌 ⽣⼈ 的 時 候 更 有 侵 略 性 。 也 許 是 因 為 牠
們 或 多 或 少 曾 經 被 主 ⼈ 棄 養 , 對 ⼈ 類 產 ⽣ 了 警 覺 和 提 防 。
有 ⼀ 次 , 我 嘗 試 幫 ⼀ 隻 流 浪 貓 清 理 籠 ⼦ 時 , 當 我 打 開 籠 ⾨ 時 牠 ⽴ 刻 攻 擊 我 , 甚 ⾄ 露 出 ⾃⼰ 的 獠 ⽛,⾯ 露 兇 氣 ,
當 下 我 嚇 得 不 輕 , 頓 時 懷 疑 ⾃⼰ 是 否 哪 個 步 驟 做 錯 了 。 事 後 , 我 ⽴ 刻 去 找 了 貓 舍 負 責 ⼈, 她 說 明 這 隻 貓 因 為 最 近 才
剛 被 主 ⼈ 遺 棄 在 街 頭 ,⼀ 時 之 間 接 受 不 了 被 遺 棄 的 事 實 , 所 以 「 來 者 皆 拒 」。 當 下 , 我 才 了 解 原 來 是 這 麼 ⼀ 回 事 。
不 僅 於 此 , 令 我 印 象 最 深 刻 的 地 ⽅,⽽ 當 我 和 貓 舍 負 責 ⼈ 回 去 打 算 清 理 ⼩ 貓 的 籠 ⼦ 時 ,⼩ 貓 卻 ⾃⼰ 站 在 籠 ⼦ 的 上
⽅, 倚 靠 著 窗 邊 , 望 向 窗 外 。 負 責 ⼈ 說 :「 牠 應 該 是 在 想 念 曾 擁 有 過 的 家 吧 , 仍 舊 以 為 主 ⼈ 會 帶 牠 回 家 。」 那 ⼀
刻 , 我 才 深 刻 地 體 會 到 : 流 浪 動 物 其 實 都 和 我 們 ⼀ 樣 , 渴 望 被 愛 , 希 望 得 到 他 ⼈ 的 關 懷 , 追 求 著 ⼀ 個 屬 於 ⾃⼰ 的
家 。 傷 ⼼, 憤 怒 , 思 念 ⋯⋯ 這 些 都 是 牠 們 也 擁 有 的 情 緒 , 難 道 就 因 為 牠 們 是 貓 或 狗 就 失 去 被 愛 的 權 利 ?
這 次 的 CAS 體 驗 , 帶 來 給 我 最 ⼤ 的 啟 發 是 「 以 ⽣ 命 影 響 ⽣ 命 」, 與 流 浪 貓 狗 相 處 的 經 歷 , 給 予 了 我 ⼀ 個 反 思 ⾃
⼰ 的 契 機 , 也 使 我 了 每 個 ⼈ 都 應 承 擔 起 責 任 。 正 是 這 些 毫 無 責 任 ⼼ 的 主 ⼈, 才 將 寵 物 託 付 予 的 信 任 付 諸 於 流 ⽔。 在
同 情 和 幫 助 流 浪 動 物 的 同 時 , 我 希 望 更 多 ⼈ 能 明 ⽩ 養 寵 物 的 責 任 , 養 育 寵 物 跟 養 育 孩 ⼦ 都 是 ⼀ 樣 的 ,⼤ 家 應 該 尊 重
每 ⼀ 個 獨 ⽴ 的 ⽣ 命 。

Primary section
Every year at Christmas .me, our senior secondary students deliver ‘Boxes of Joy’ to people at Po Leung Kuk
organisa.ons around Hong Kong, including elder residents in elderly care homes, and ins.tu.ons which support
people who are disabled. These Boxes contain essen.al goods kindly donated by parents of our younger junior and
primary students. They bring joy to those who open them, and allow our students to create smiles and happy
memories while playing, singing and dancing with our neighbours in the community.
In December, the school teachers told us that there is an ac.vity
called, “Box of Joy.” We were given a list of things to buy. I was
preMy excited because you buy the things for people in need. I
went to Wellcome to buy the items. There were so many things
to buy on the list, including oil, biscuits, and drinks. I bought
them all! I had some trouble finding every item. AQer finding
them, I went to the counter and paid. I was thrilled because I
could help many people in need, and I think that I was very kind
and helpful. I even bought things for my mum, me, and my
family! What a lovely, wonderful, and happy day.

In December, Box Of Joy
was held. The Y8's had to
prepare 2 packs of chips for
the primary students that
the Y9's were going to visit.
Guilty pleasure snacks are a
good way to make the kids
feel excited and get the
Christmas Spirit going on
during the holiday season.
We also helped by moving
all the Box Of Joy presents
from the primary section,
particularly the Y3's and
Y4's. During recess in
December, our head of year,
Ms Wacky Chen, instructed
us to move all Y3-4's Box
of Joy to the conference
room, and so it was. Many
of us went around to gather
all the presents; after that,
we carried them all to the
conference room. That's
when we saw a mountain of
gifts piling on one another
in the conference room.
There were so many gifts
that there was only a small
path to walk in and go out!
It felt great to know that we
Y8s were able to put in a
real effort. Hopefully, it
made the younger kids’
Christmas a bit more joyful.

Clean Waterways Education
On 14th December 2021, two IB students were invited to participate in the Clean Waterways Education Programme, a
workshop conducted by Plastic Free Seas, a Hong Kong based environmental charity, to learn more about ocean pollution,
how our waste enters our local waters and what we can do to help reduce the environmental impact.
During the two hour workshop, students were given the opportunity to test water samples collected in the harbour to
gauge the water quality. They also experimented with microscopes to identify a variety of microscopic marine life which
occasionally revealed tiny fibres and other microplastic pollutants that ended up in our waters. At the end of the workshop,
they were also introduced to Hong Kong's first solar-panelled rubbish collecting "boat", a newly innovative Hong Kong
design which was sponsored by HSBC to build.

HK Green Tech Competition & Zero Carbon Building
When Mr Wong introduced the “Hong Kong Green
Technology Creation Competition” to us in STEM, I looked at my
friend and said, “This is our competition” as it requires us to use
Minecraft to build a green urban city.
Parents have always criticised that video games are
bad for their children's grades and encourage laziness. Even
though that may be the case, video games have helped children
through many mental and physical difficulties. For me personally,
Minecraft was one of the best things that happened to me in my
life. It promotes creativity, and honestly, lots of cooperation. This
competition is about working together to build an eco-friendly
community in Minecraft. It gets people to think about how to use
space and money efficiently since you can only create it within
81x81 blocks of space while sticking to the budget. The ideas
also need to be creative, original and physically attractive—on top
of that, the buildings need to have a purpose, which should be
linked back to the theme—being green.
I joined this competition because I thought this was an
exciting and fantastic opportunity for me to learn as a make-shift
engineer, how to plan the layout of an eco-friendly area to build
an eco-friendly site within a budget. To help us with our ideas, Ms
Chung took us on a field trip to Hong Kong’s Zero-Carbon
Building. I saw how a simple design could save thousands of
dollars in construction and drastically reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. It also gave us lots of ideas for our final construction of
buildings in Minecraft as we learnt new technology such as an
eco-plant and other ways to maximise the intake of solar energy.
This field trip changed many of my original ideas but it helped me
to start thinking about being environmentally friendly a lot more. I
can't wait to see what my friends and I can build!

Year 9 Community Service Trip
On 17th December 2021, the Y9s went to Po Leung
Kuk Gold and Silver Exchange Society Pershing Tsang
School in Causeway Bay, to offer our service to
primary school students there through a mini carnival.
The students in the school consisted mainly of
orphans, children from ethnic minority backgrounds,
and kids who lack parental support.
As a year level, we designed, organized and hosted 20
game booths to create a happy and memorable
experience for them. This day of service was chaotic,
but rewarding and fun. Students of lower year levels
were energetic, and communicating with them was
difficult due to language barriers and their lack of
patience. It was also very crowded within the venue,
due to the endless flow of students playing and
queueing in contrast to the schools’ relatively small
rooms.
Despite these challenges, our service
was immensely meaningful. Not only
were we able to physically bring
company and joy to the primary
students amidst the depressing
pandemic, but we also learnt that not
all children are as privileged as us.
As upper secondary students, we
should learn to treasure what we have
and continue to contribute back to the
community.

Y2-Y5 Guest speaker on climate change
I feel very grateful for the guest speaker. He shared a large amount of information about the
weather and how poor less privileged people live in subdivided rooms. The sad fact was many of
those poor people died of cold weather. He also taught me that we should not waste natural
materials such as paper and water. I want to hear more about the weather which proves
fascinating to me and how the world has changed or is changing. Other information I would like to
hear more is surrounding difficulties poor people face when living in subdivided rooms. I’m sure
those are invaluable experiences which I will not see often in cities such as Hong Kong. One day I
would like to travel to those places to see for myself what really happens in real life. Places
without a computer, phones, internet and how to cook meals in cold weather or keep them hot. I
am very grateful to have a better condition in Hong Kong where I can have a hot meal everyday, a
soft bed and warm sheets to cover when I go to sleep. I feel blessed and thankful. The speaker
has spoken very well and I thank him for it.
Archie Chan 3B
During our assembly, we had a wonderful, special guest speaker who
visited our school. This special guest is Mr. Leung Wing Mo. Mr. Leung
Wing Mo is a climate spokesman for “350 Hong Kong”, a spokesman
for the Hong Kong Meteorological Society and he used to work for
HKO. He talked about disastrous weathers, like flooding, droughts,
typhoons and more. He also talked about what was causing them, like
air condiBoners, hot baths, and other luxuries, which cause global
warming from the carbon dioxide. Rich people would o?en buy coats
made of animal fur, and because of the high demand for this fur,
countries overbred them. Many of these animals ended up catching a
disease, leaving the only choice, kill all the thousands of animals. I
enjoyed this talk as it informed me about how we create this mess of
affecBng so many people without knowing it, and many ways to stop
it. I hope in the future, this will be just a thing of the past!

Mr. Leung taught us that we
should protect the Earth by saving
water and electricity. I also learnt
that many accidents may happen
on very cold days. For example,
driving in the snow may easily
cause car accidents. A?er
listening to Mr. Leung’s speech, I
learnt a lot about Earth’s natural
environment and found it
interesBng.

Appreciating Mr Leung for his time in giving our students an inspiring talk
On 12th January, 2022, we were honored to have a guest speaker
joining our assembly, Professor Leung Wing Mo, ex-Assistant
Director of Hong Kong Observatory to share with us on Extreme
Weather. It was indeed a great pleasure to have learnt the changes
of weather in Hong Kong and around the globe from an
experienced climatologist like Professor Leung.
It worried me when I found out from Professor Leung that we, in
Hong Kong, are having more and more extreme hot days in a year
while the number of normal and cold days are declining year by
year. All this is due to climate change which is a long-term change
in the average weather conditions on Earth. The rise in the average
temperature near Earth’s surface affects more than just polar bears
but all life on Earth!
I ask myself what can I do to save Planet Earth? I can start by
reducing the use of fossil fuel energy, for example, by taking less
cars and public transport but walking and cycling as much as I can.
Through which I can reduce the use of gas and the amount of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Maybe I can even start a Plant a
Tree Campaign in my school or community to raise the general
public’s awareness of global warming.
I hope very soon, polar bears can enjoy their homes again in the
frozen Arctic region while I can always have a cold little Christmas
year after year.
Sophie Lee 3C
Do you remember the typhoon Mangkhut from 2018? It was so
strong that at least 458 people were injured during the strike of this
treacherous typhoon! This is extreme weather! To learn more about
this, our school invited the former assistant director of the Hong
Kong Observatory, Mr. Leung Wing Mo, to explain more about
extreme weather to us. Many of us would have heard about him
from his TV programme called ‘MObservatory’.
Mr. Leung was a very wise and funny person, in which I saw that
many students enjoyed his presentation and were proactively
answering his questions. Throughout his presentation, he shared to
us about many riveting events about extreme weather that happened
in Hong Kong. For example, there was a certain day in Hong Kong
that its temperature fell down to 3.1 celsius. Some people that were
hiking in Tai Mo Shan fell down due to the slippery ice on the floor.
There was also a line graph he showed about the rising temperature
in Hong Kong, which was a cause of global warming. This led to
something he said that I find extremely influential and inspiring,
“There are many poor families in the world, some couldn’t even
afford an air-conditioner, while some children in the Philippines lost
their parents due to some environmental problems, so we should
treasure what you have now and protect the environment. You all
are very lucky in Hong Kong, such a good place with pleasant
weather.”
It is an honour to meet Mr. Leung Wing Mo, a big thanks to him for
bringing such a meaningful message with loads of information that
blew our minds!

YEAR 1 ARTWORK - AMUSING ANIMALS
Year 1 students learned about Elements of Art-line, shape, colour and pattern, along with Susan Forbrigger, a
contemporary artist. They learned about her love of animals and transformed lines into patterns, then drew their
invented patterns and designs inside their animal of choice. They also played with colour and used warm, cool
and various mixed color combinations to create a bright and colourful background with tissue paper. These bold
animals reflect the students’ creativity and their careful observation drawing of animals, patterns and arrangement
of lines.

Y8 “20TH ANNIVERSARY” KEITH HARING INSPIRED MURAL
Students learnt about how Keith Haring promoted activism through his art by using simple
imagery. They also investigated how he utilised in-between lines to create movement,
pattern, and balance between all the imagery. This whole year level collaboration celebrates
CKY school life. It will be completed during this second term.
The process of making the Keith Haring inspired mural was
extremely enjoyable, especially being able to work on such a
huge project with every single student in year 8. I am proud of
how the artwork incorporates different elements of our school
life, like the houses, sports day and monkeys, celebraBng the
uniqueness of our school.

Our class was in charge of the piece with the school emblem,
featuring monkeys. I had a great Bme planning and drawing
hidden meanings in the artwork with my classmates!

Shannon Lau and Carrinna Tong 8A
For our school’s 20th anniversary, Year 8 produced a mural based on the style of Keith Haring, showcasing what
school life is like to us. The mural was mulBple sheets of art paper, with lines and figures created by the year level
and outlined with black markers, aligned to create a cohesive art piece. We write on behalf of class 8A when we
say that this experience was extremely enlightening due to the opportunity to craN a composiBon relaBng to
school with our dear schoolmates.

Recently, I took part in a STEM competition at
the Hong Kong Science Park: the City I&T Grand
Challenge. I entered with my team, a group of
friends I met at The Hong Kong Academy for
Gifted Education (HKAGE). In this competition,
we had to invent and present a solution to the
theme of environmental sustainability. After
extensive research and field surveys, our solution,
Ecovender, came in 3rd place in the secondary
category. We also won the Gifted Star Award of
the HKAGE. We were overjoyed, of course, but
in the end, we all agreed on one thing: that what
we had enjoyed the most in this journey was not
winning the award, but rather the experience of
working together in a team.
Our team consisted of 5 people: Albin, Benjamin, Jane, Ivy and me. We all came from different schools. We had
different skill sets, different timetables, and different working habits. Working together was quite challenging at
first - we had to find times to meet when all of us were available. Often, we had no choice but to meet at 9 pm
or later online! Because of the limited time we had together, we soon became accustomed to working efficiently.
Workloads were divided up according to our strengths so that we could finish our parts independently. For
example, if we had to make a prototype of our product, Benjamin and Albin, who were the STEM experts in our
team, would use online programmes to create it, and Jane, Ivy and I would help give suggestions and help
organise our verbal presentation of the prototype. Lastly, we would meet up to finalise the result. This, for all of
us, was the most satisfying part. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing your work being put together, and
becoming a part of a fully fledged solution.
When we won, we felt an overwhelming sense of pride: in our accomplishment, in our hard work, but most of
all, in our team. We could not have won without any of our members. All of us were integral in some way to our
achievement. We had learned one important concept through this competition, however cliche: Teamwork truly
makes the dream work.

Inter-School A.I. Formula Edge Competition
The Inter-school AI formula Edge competition is a car racing competition where students form teams
to build cars that can find the path by themselves through the use of artificial intelligence. A
computer (Jetson Nano, created by Nvidia) was installed on the car, while students implement and
train the AI program so that the car recognizes the track. The competition is categorised into two
levels, including Jetbot (Beginner) and Jetracer (Advanced). The competition took place from 10th to
12th December 2021.

Overall 2nd Runner Up for JetRacer Division
This is the first time that we participated in an AIrelated
competition. Only one member of the team
Seton has racing car-related experiences prior to the
contest. We decided to join the competition as
Bowen and Ethan took part in a Computer Science
summer course which involved concepts of AI
training, where we thought that this competition is an
opportunity for us to apply the knowledge learnt in
the course.
We spent multiple club and after-school sessions to
prepare for this competition. During weekends, we
also booked function rooms to work on building the
car and attended fun-days organised by STEMPLUS
to train the car so that we can work out the best
algorithm to control the throttle of the car and seek
room for improvement of the car’s mechanics
components.
This competition is a rewarding experience that
strengthened our understanding of AI. Through
engaging in the process of training the AI model, by
taking photos of the track, we got to understand how
AI models are trained and improved. A stronger
understanding of racing car mechanics is developed
throughout the competition.
Engineering is about problem-solving, and we often
face failure as the software programs we write do not
always work and the hardware components are not
adjusted correctly at times. Albert Einstein once said,
“It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with
problems longer”. If we give up when the hardware
or software is not working, it is impossible to obtain
the end product that we have now. We always try to
“debug” our problems and find solutions to solve
them so that the system works. Therefore, we
believe that perseverance is a huge factor that led to
our success.
We would also like to thank Mr Wong and Mr Go for
their supervision. They had spent extra time working
with us and attending both the fun-days and the
competition, which was held during weekends. Mr
Go even used his personal equipment to enhance
performance for our racing car. We would not have
been able to make it this far without all their support!
To us, the most valuable takeaway from the
competition is “perseverance skills”, which is of
utmost importance in the context of engineering.

Awards) received:
Best JetBot Design Award (Bronze)
The AI Formula Edge competition was our first competition involving both
hardware and software elements, hence we met several challenges.
However, we managed to persevere through the numerous difficulties. The
exhilaration we felt when the car finally managed to function for the first time
was ultimately unforgettable.
In terms of hardware, soldering jumper cables on our JetBot was quite
challenging, as we had little to no experience in soldering. The process of
holding a scorching tool to melt solder wires was rather stressful, but we
practised the skill repeatedly, and eventually succeeded in firmly securing the
jumper cables.
We also encountered challenges in terms of software, where we did not have
a specific strategy for photo-taking. We captured excessive photos for curved
roads, and hence the car sometimes travelled in figure-8s despite being
located on a straight lane. As there was minimal time to retake photos, our car
did not always take the most efficient route during the qualifiers.
In spite of the problems faced, this competition was incredibly beneficial to us,
and was generally enjoyable. First, the competition gave us an opportunity to
learn more about artificial intelligence and machine learning. The workshops
before the competition taught us more about the fundamental concept of AI,
while the final competition gave us an opportunity to apply our AI knowledge
during the hands-on operations of coding and building hardware.
Moreover, unlike other STEM competitions that we had participated in before,
the AI Formula Edge competition required several months of preparation
work. Through this lengthy journey, we developed our skills in communication,
collaboration, and working together as a team.
Furthermore, during the day of the competition, multiple technical difficulties
inevitably appeared. For example, the competition organiser’s WiFi router
malfunctioned, hence we had to use an alternative method to connect to the
server. We realised the importance of staying calm when technical issues
occurred, and eventually built up our problem-solving skills and resilience.
As we will likely join the competition again next year, we have thought of ways
to improve our overall performance. First, we would generate ideas to help
our JetBot take the inner route of the track. This would optimise the time it
takes for it to travel two rounds and would be beneficial to our performance in
the competition. Additionally, we would spend more time gathering early
preferences for the optimal speed gain, steering gain, steering kd and
steering bias before the competition. This would minimise the time we would
need to spend on finding it during the limited time slots and will give us more
time to solve technical difficulties that spawn on the day.

Our journey was full of ups and downs! We were
close, but just missed the bronze! Although we did
not make the top 3, we still learned a lot during the
three days in Asia expo. We learned to make
decisions as a team and work on problems
together to reach our goal. AI is unstable and can
leave you disappointed, but to accomplish a good
score, we must accept our mistakes in order to
achieve a good AI model to run on its own without
anything going wrong. We named our robots
“Romeo” and “Juliet”.

The CKY Physics department was very excited to co-organise and host the first-ever Hong Kong Young
Physicists' Tournament (HKYPT) today after a year of planning with Singapore International School. This
was a competition based on the rules and problems set by the international committees (IYPT) that took
place on 20th December 2021.
Each team chose one out of the selected 17 problems, investigated experimentally and presented the
findings with physics concepts. The opposing team would then take the floor to discuss follow-up
questions with the reporting team. It was a very unique competition format that offered opportunities for
presenting formal scientific research to the secondary school students.
This year we ran it as a pilot and hopefully we could expand it to a larger scale next year. It was our
honor to have Dr. Tong Shui Sing from CUHK, Dr. David Yu from HKU and Dr. Bill Yeung from EdUHK as
our jury team. They were particularly impressed by the team who analysed the problem of 'three-sided
dice' with dynamic modeling and phase space concepts.

Candle Powered Turbine
The problem our team worked on was to optimize the parameters for a maximum torque of a
paper spiral, when placed over a flame.
The phenomenon occurs due to convection. The flame heats up the air and produces a
convection current, so the hot air rising hits the inclined surface of the surface spiral,
transferring momentum to the spiral and causing it to rotate.
The challenges our group faced were mostly involved in the execution of the experiment. Due
to the many different prototypes, we had to make two sets of apparatus to maximize the
efficiency - however, the apparatus had to be set with the same parameters so that it would be
a fair test, which was quite challenging. We also had to test out different candle types for strong
convection current without any fire hazards, and many of our spirals burnt and could not be
used afterward. We had to be very careful when using fire, so we kept a sand bucket next to
the paper spiral at all times, in case it caught fire!
Time was also a constraint in this experiment, as we find that the precision of our results could
have been improved if we had completed more trials. We would also have been able to perform
more experiments to test other independent variables, so we could have reached a more
rounded and certain conclusion.
Overall, we are really thankful for this fruitful opportunity and are beyond honored to be able to
come in second place.

At first this topic of investigating the twisting of a water stream, which looks like a chain, usually
seen when pouring water, seemed challenging. We did not really have a direction and just tested
different nozzles made by 3D printing to try to spot a pattern. Unfortunately, that was not really
useful and we just kept struggling. We found out that the difficulty was in the lack of literature we
have on the topic. This means we had to come up with our own theory. This allowed us to be creative
and think of many different possibilities with our physics knowledge as a foundation.
Throughout the process of the competition, the judges gave a lot of constructive comments that are
helpful to future research based projects, such as IB extended essays. Teams from the other school
also provided another perspective to understand and solve the topic, which is also valuable as
different perspectives on the topic increases our understanding of the solution.
Improvements we could have made for a better result could have been searching deeper into the
question and testing for different areas of the topic where our report could be more comprehensive.
We could have used more calculations to quantify our results which could justify our theory more
clearly, making our report more persuasive.
Overall, we are very grateful to have this opportunity to participate in this competition and we
enjoyed making progress in researching and competing with other teams. We learnt communication
skills as well as how to have civilised discussions and debates with other teams. The judges also
provided us with insight on areas we can extend to.

Winter Olympic 2022 Press Conference
On the 4 th January, I represented our CKY Ice Hockey Team to take
part in the Winter Olympic 2022 Press Conference held by TVB.
There were 6 ice hockey players aged from 9 to 16 years old from
respective schools. I was the youngest one but was not the shortest!
I was really excited because I did not know what a press conference
was and was so happy to be able to represent CKY Ice Hockey
Team.
There were many media and journalists with a lot of cameras. It was
really hard to see us smiling when we were wearing masks, so our
eyes needed to look happy. We only had 5 minutes to rehearse for
our section which made me a bit nervous. When the conference
started, the MC introduced us and we marched to the stage. I was the
first one to present the ice hockey pose and then the team
accompanied the chairpersons to kick off the conference. The MC
and guests introduced the Winter Olympics, which will be held in
Beijing from 4 th Feb to 20 th Feb 2022. I also learnt the sports to be
played in the Winter Olympics such as Ice Hockey, Figure Skating,
Bobsleigh, Ski Jumping, Snowboarding and Speed skating, etc. One
of the HK athletes, Sidney Chu who will be representing HK to join
the Speedskating in the Winter Olympics, gave a speech on his
training program and on how he prepares for the competition. A few
guests also gave a speech about the site of the Beijing Olympics and
an introduction of the sports to be played.
After taking the group photos, we were treated to a very delicious
snack - skewers, mini-cakes & sandwiches which made a perfect
ending of the Press Conference. That day was really cool and I was
so happy to see myself on the TV program and news. I hope to watch
the Winter Olympics in February soon!

Never Limit Yourself 未 來 不 設 限
Hello everyone, I’m Kristopher from CKY’s Class
of 2015. Under the pandemic, I am sure a lot of
you have tonnes of questions regarding your
future study plans and concerns towards IGCSE or
IB. During this period of time, for those of you who
are busy piecing together your extended essay or
TOK essay, I can most certainly relate.
See I was there six years ago, when I was doing
my final year in IB. I still remember everyday at
school, sitting around in the library during my free
period, pondering about university choices,
meeting with teachers for countless discussions
regarding my internal assessments, extended
essays and personal statements. It would seem
breathless transitioning from one system where
you depend on others to plan your studies for you,
to one where you must make choices on your own.
Never limit yourself, Make use of any chances you have.
During my junior years, I had achieved poorly in
most of my academic subjects prior to IGCSE. I
know this might come as a surprise to most of you,
but those who taught me in my junior years would
know it is true. And after months of entering
IGCSE, I fell into disappointment and despair,
almost tipping me over on giving up on my
studies.
After I received my final report card in Year 9, I
know some changes had to be made. As if I
continue on my current path, I would not get into
any university, especially if I want to study abroad.
Starting then, I sought help from all my teachers
and classmates in every subject and started to put
effort into revision and daily assignments; and over
the course of Year 10, I saw significant
improvement in my performance.
After passing IGCSE, the biggest challenge has
yet to come, the IB. Before commencement of IB,
we were instructed to choose subjects that may
well determine what we will study in the future in
university. As there were different combinations
and emphasis on different subjects, including HL
and SL. Back then, I didn’t know what to pursue
for my future, so I just stuck to what I did best in
IGCSE and headed on.
I still remember the moment I chose English Lang
& Lit SL, and Chinese Lang & Lit HL. As I learned
second language in my IGCSE years, many others
and I doubted my ability to ascend into first
language. It was a gamble but I didn’t want to let
my past experience limit my exposure to future
career choices.
Page 36

Road Less Taken
Honestly speaking, during my final year in IB, I didn’t know what to pursue for my future after I graduated
from CKY. I applied subjects ranging from Business, Language studies, to Healthcare, including medicine
and pharmacy. I attended and prepared for so many interviews, making up answers I know I didn’t mean, as
I have no idea what my interests are, I was just hoping I could get into whatever choices were given to me.
And at the end, after the IB results were released, I was accepted into HKU to study medicine
六 年 前 , 我 從 母 校 畢 業 了 , 在 此 之 前 的 中 學 ⽣ 涯 中 , 我 懵 懵 懂 懂 , 對 ⼈⽣ 沒 有 明 確 的 ⽅ 向 。⽣ 活 的 道 路 , 像
是 在 ⼀ 邊 ⾏⾛⼀ 邊 摸 索 出 來 的 。 在 這 段 時 期 , 我 曾 經 年 少 輕 狂 , 曾 經 迷 惘 不 安 。 所 幸 , 我 的 ⽼ 師 、 我 的 家 ⾧ 默
默 地 陪 伴 我 , 等 待 我 成 ⾧, 使 我 醒 覺 ⾃⼰ 需 要 改 變 ,⽽ 發 ⾃ 內 ⼼ 地 想 要 奮 ⾾, 願 意 為 未 來 拼 搏 。 出 乎 意 料 的 ,
我 在 IB 取 得 滿 分 , 這 是 許 多 ⼈ 意 想 不 到 的 , 包 括 我 ⾃⼰。
「⼈⽣ 有 無 限 可 能 !」 我 深 深 地 體 會 。 之 前 ,⼀ 路 ⾛ 來 , 道 路 崎 嶇 ;⼈⽣ 的 未 來 也 未 必 平 坦 , 但 我 想 和 同 學
們 分 享 的 是 : 永 遠 不 要 限 制 ⾃⼰, 請 把 握 時 機 , 勇 往 直 前 , 即 使 前 路 坎 坷 。
如 今 , 我 即 將 從 醫 學 院 畢 業 了 , 也 將 正 式 踏 ⼊⼈⽣ 的 另 ⼀ 個 階 段 。⽬ 前 在 實 習 中 , 雖 然 也 會 ⾯ 對 着 各 種 挑
戰 , 但 是 這 令 我 感 悟 到 平 凡 ⽣ 活 的 美 好 , 亦 更 加 珍 惜 與 家 ⼈ 相 處 的 時 光 。
在 此 疫 情 期 間 , 衷 ⼼ 祝 福 CKY 的 學 弟 學 妹 堅 持 不 懈 , 爭 取 佳 績 , 也 祝 願 ⼤ 家 健 康 。

“
What I’ve been up
to since leaving
CKY
”
After leaving CKY, I’ve been pursuing
legal studies at the University of Hong Kong
(HKU). During my freshman year, I got to meet a
lot of people at orientation and made a lot of
friends. Aside from studying, I decided to run as
an executive committee member of the Law
Association of HKU with my friends. I had the
opportunity to organise various events for law
students and got to meet many people from the
legal field and work with them. For example, I
organised the annual high table dinner, which is a
longstanding HKU tradition for students, where I
invited and got to meet with guests from different
areas of the legal field, including barristers,
solicitors, and judges. I also joined the Rule of
Law Education Project (ROLE) organised by
HKU’s faculty of law, where I hosted seminars
and lectures at secondary schools with my peers
on different legal topics to promote legal
education. During semester breaks, I worked as a
mini-pupil and intern at both barristers’ chambers
and solicitors’ law firms respectively. I was able
to gain first-hand experience in how the legal
field works in real life and gain a better idea of
what I would like to do in the future.
“
How CKY has helped
”
At first, it was challenging to adapt to university life, studying
law and other extra-curricular commitments. However, I believe that the
IBDP has prepared me to better adapt to the mode of teaching and learning
at university. Over time, I was able to get used to balancing different
responsibilities and studying a wholly new subject. The biggest perk of
being an IB student was the research and essay writing skills that I
developed. The experience gained from completing the extended essay and
written work during the IB made writing research papers at university less
challenging, making the transition between secondary school and university
less daunting than I imagined.

“
Words of Advice
”
Personally, the biggest challenge for me at HKU was the pressure of being surrounded by brilliant
and hardworking people, as everyone in law school is extremely competitive. The workload of courses was
also a challenge for me, where each course covered about as much content as each IB subject, but I only had
one semester to study each course, whereas I had two years to do so in secondary school. To overcome these
hurdles, I was fortunate to establish lifelong friendships with my fellow peers. Having such companions
along this journey was vital to get through the difficulties of intense competition and workload. Being able
to attend lessons together and prepare for examinations together with friends made the challenges less
unnerving and easier to get by. My biggest advice to approaching university would be to embrace the
changes and challenges fully and find the right confidants to accompany you along the way. I believe that
university is a great opportunity to challenge yourself with new responsibilities and meet new people
throughout the journey.
