Mr Viljoen was definitely one of the most wonderful
teachers in CKY. He cared about his students a lot, and
took time to teach and help us through every little detail
that we didn’t understand. He was compassionate towards
everyone and we have all felt his care and have felt valued
by him. He understood our creativity, wonder and laughter.
Although we might always talk in class, he somehow
managed to make a joke out of it. He did not scold us if we
forgot our homework, however he made us learn from our
mistakes instead of rebuking us. Other times, he may be
strict, by giving us high expectations, but it only enhances
our behaviour and academics. He made my learning
experiences entertaining and amusing. He inspired and
encouraged so many of his students to always keep trying.
Mr Viljoen was truly a marvellous teacher, for his love for
teaching makes learning worthy of everyone’s care. His
memories with 4F will always remain in our minds, and I will
never forget him.

Mr Viljoen was the best teacher we have ever met.
People think that he was mean because he was too strict,
but being strict was actually a good thing for us. Mr Viljoen
helped us whenever we needed him and he always tried his
best to give his class the best education possible. Every
time a student in the class failed to hand in their homework,
he always asked them if they are having any difficulties
finishing the assignment. He cared deeply about his
students’ growth process. Mr Viljoen was always willing to
sacrifice his time to help his students in need. Although he
has passed away, we will still remember him as the most
outstanding teacher of all time.

"HE REMAINS, IN MY OPINION AND

TEACHERS I COULD EVER HAVE MET."
Mr Viljoen was one of the best English teachers that I
have ever had during my time at CKY. He was also a great
class teacher to all of us in 4F (2020-21) as well. Mr Viljoen
has been very nice to all of us and we all wish that we
could repay his kindness. He remains, in my opinion and
many others, one of the best teachers I could ever have
met. He likes to joke and play around with us. One of his
funniest jokes was ‘throw it in the lap-sap’ which is the
Cantonese version of “throw it in the garbage’’. I will
treasure all the memories that I have of him forever.

Mr Viljoen has been a wonderful teacher. I am very
grateful for having him as my class teacher, everyone
adored him because of his kind and caring heart. He was
funny and responsible, and joked around to make learning
much more enjoyable. He cared very much about our
education, and encouraged us to learn and read in a joyful
environment. We are thankful for his support, kindness and
his inspiring personality all through Year 4. Even though he
has already passed away, he will still remain in everyone’s
hearts and will be remembered by every one of us. He was
truly one of the best teachers I’ve ever met.

Mr Viljoen, you were a great teacher. No matter what I
did wrong, you were patient and made me become a well
disciplined student. You gave me a lot of opportunities,
from subject scholarships to Mathematics and English
Writing competitions. You gave our class lots of important
knowledge, and now we understand how it affects us. You
left a meaningful mark in our heart, and we all truly
appreciate your effort to help us learn and become a
successful person.
