Unique Talents
Celebrating with Y12 on their last day before study leave
CKY’s school motto ‘Every child is good at something’ reflects our vision of recognising and nurturing
the special interests and strengths of each individual student. We provide a holistic education where
opportunities abound for each student to discover a rich array of interests, and to pursue those that
they particularly enjoy and can do well in. Not only do our students do well, the depth to which they
have developed their capabilities and interests allows them to excel in a variety of fields from arts and
music, to sporting activities and a wide range of academic pursuits. As a school community, we
celebrate the diversity of both our students and staff. We treat each student as an individual who can
make a unique contribution to our school and the wider communities where CKY makes a positive
impact.
The 19th edition of the CKY Newsletter is
aptly themed Unique Talents in recognition
of this fundamental principle which our
whole school strategy rests on: that every
child has unlocked potential that can be
discovered and fulfilled with the right
nurturing and care. The 19th edition
highlights some of the ways we seek to
foster students’ interests and talents in
various activities, including bilingual
broadcasting, enterprise simulations and
the performing arts.

The Art Exhibition at HK Cultural Centre
Our parents and primary students have also shared how a well-rounded education and various
hobbies and pastimes have allowed them to experience some endeavours that are extraordinarily
interesting… what a colourful assortment of characters we have in our student community!
As usual, the Newsletter includes an update on current school news and events across our
community, including in this edition: coding workshops where young computer programmers are
becoming fluent in the language of code; exciting developments in our solar panel garden situated
on the rooftop and our drive towards an increasingly sustainable campus; as well as our annual Art
Exhibition at the HK Cultural Centre which, despite being unable to host an opening ceremony, was
pleasingly well attended and appreciated by proud parents, visitors and students alike. Our
Department Heads have also looked forward and shared ‘what’s next’ for their subject in terms of
any new or exciting initiatives being planned for the near future. Finally, two of our alumni from the
Class of 2017 share their experiences of higher education and what the future holds for them now.
Their sharing is wonderfully insightful and especially helpful for our current and future IB Diploma
students.
After another unpredictable and turbulent term, we look forward to 2021/2022 next year with
renewed hope and optimism for brighter days ahead. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you
and your family good health and happiness, and a most enjoyable summer holiday.

「⼀ 分 耕 耘 ,⼀ 分 收 穫 。」 經 過 ⼤ 家 ⿑⼼ 努 ⼒ 的 籌 備 ⾄ 完 成 ⽐ 賽 , 我 終 於 明 ⽩ 到 這 個 道 理 。⾸ 先 , 預 備
⽐ 賽 的 第 ⼀ 個 步 驟 就 是 要 挑 選 故 事 情 節 , 因 為 《 三 國 演 義 》 實 在 有 許 多 章 節 。 最 初 , 究 竟 該 選 哪 ⼀ 個 情 節 ? 我
們 摸 不 著 頭 腦 ,⼀ 直 猶 豫 不 決 。 幸 好 宜 霏 和 宜 霖 本 身 對 《 三 國 演 義 》⽐ 較 熟 悉 , 經 過 她 倆 建 議 之 後 , 我 們 最 終
下 了 決 定 。 此 外 , 在 錄 ⾳ 過 程 中 , 我 們 四 位 組 員 顯 得 特 別 有 默 契 ,⼤ 家 說 話 流 暢 , 各 ⼈ 在 語 句 之 間 的 連 接 恰
當 , 最 終 才 能 順 利 地 完 成 整 個 錄 ⾳。 之 後 我 們 隊 伍 更 被 甄 選 ⼊ 圍 , 真 令 我 們 喜 出 望 外 ! 經 過 這 次 ⽐ 賽 , 讓 我 明
⽩ 到 付 出 多 少 努 ⼒ 就 會 有 多 少 回 報 , 這 真 是 ⼀ 次 難 忘 的 經 驗 呢 !
在 改 編 劇 本 時 , 我 們 遇 到 了 重 重 的 困 難 , 譬 如 說 : 有 些 隊 員 不 同 意 題 ⽬、 不 知 道 應 該 從 哪 裡 找 資 料 , 整
個 過 程 有 點 紊 亂 。 幸 好 , 珈 晴 同 學 不 斷 啟 發 、⿎ 勵 了 我 們 , 點 燃 了 我 們 對 ⽐ 賽 的 ⾾ 志 , 激 發 了 我 們 的 ⾃ 信 ⼼。
隨 後 , 我 們 ⼤ 家 也 加 倍 努 ⼒, 終 於 「 皇 天 不 負 有 ⼼⼈」, 我 們 的 作 品 竟 然 能 ⼊ 決 賽 ! 這 個 令 ⼈⼜ 驚 ⼜ 喜 的 消
息 , 讓 我 體 會 到 團 隊 合 作 的 重 要 , 以 及 ⾃⼰ 的 努 ⼒ 是 成 功 道 路 上 的 重 要 關 鍵 。 現 在 回 想 起 來 , 我 也 會 為 ⾃⼰ 和
隊 友 感 到 ⾃ 豪 呢 !

令 我 印 象 最 深 刻 的 是 我 們 在 珈 晴 家 錄 製 廣 播 劇 的 時 候 : 有 時 有 ⼈ 讀 錯 字 , 有 時 有 ⼈ 忍 不 住 發 笑 , 有 時 聲
效 ⼜ 出 了 差 錯 , 反 反 覆 覆 錄 了 ⼀ 遍 ⼜⼀ 遍 。 最 後 , 我 們 終 於 ⿑⼼ 協 ⼒ 錄 製 完 成 ,⼤ 家 都 不 禁 歡 呼 了 起 來 。 古 ⼈
云 :「‘ 天 下 無 難 事 , 只 怕 有 ⼼⼈。」 只 要 我 們 付 出 了 努 ⼒ 和 汗 ⽔, 就 ⼀ 定 有 收 穫 。
經 過 這 次 廣 播 劇 ⽐ 賽 , 我 感 慨 :「 精 讀 書 本 對 我 們 的 表 演 有 多 麼 ⼤ 的 幫 助 !」 讀 五 年 級 時 ,⽼ 師 帶 領 我
們 精 讀 《 三 國 演 義 》, 並 分 析 曹 操 、 關 ⽻ 等 ⼈ 物 形 象 後 , 我 深 深 地 理 解 到 描 寫 ⼈ 物 動 作 、 語 ⾔ 和 ⼼ 理 是 刻 畫 ⼈
物 性 格 的 關 鍵 。 四 ⼤ 名 著 將 ⼈ 物 塑 造 得 栩 栩 如 ⽣, 活 靈 活 現 , 令 我 們 表 演 起 來 也 更 容 易 把 握 ⼈ 物 的 特 ⾊ 呢 !

《⻄ 遊 記 》 之 〈⼥ 兒 國 〉
這 是 我 第 ⼀ 次 參 加 這 種 ⼤ 型 的 中 ⽂⽐ 賽 , 在 改
編 劇 本 的 時 候 , 卻 是 遇 上 了 很 多 困 難 , 因 為 我 要 把 整
個 原 本 都 是 ⽂⾔⽂ 的 故 事 改 編 成 ⽩ 話 ⽂。 回 想 起 來 ,
還 真 是 挺 難 的 ! 我 需 要 理 解 原 著 當 時 的 劇 情 與 ⼈ 物 的
性 格 特 點 , 還 要 明 ⽩ 吳 承 恩 先 ⽣ 對 述 寫 故 事 的 特 ⾊。
但 , 完 成 了 以 後 , 我 真 的 很 欣 慰 , 我 在 這 個 過 程 獲 益
良 多 。 我 不 僅 更 深 層 地 明 ⽩ 了 《⻄ 遊 記 》 這 個 故 事 ,
也 不 得 不 向 古 ⼈ 的 智 慧 表 示 萬 分 敬 佩 。 在 錄 ⾳ 過 程
中 , 雖 然 我 們 有 時 候 也 會 發 ⽣ 爭 執 , 但 是 我 們 也 在 這
個 「 爭 論 」 的 過 程 中 成 ⻑ 了 很 多 。 欣 喜 的 是 : 我 不 但
與 朋 友 的 交 情 更 深 了 , 也 對 「 團 隊 合 作 」 更 有 體 會 。

這 就 像 我 賦 予 了 它 ⽣ 命 ⼀ 樣 。 和 朋 友 ⼀ 起 進 錄 ⾳ 棚 裡 錄 ⾳, 更 是 ⼀ 個 ⾮ 常 新 奇 的 體 驗 。 我 還 記 得 , 那 ⼀ 次 真 正 錄 ⾳ 的 時 候 ,
我 ⼿⼼ 冒 汗 , 很 怕 ⾃⼰ 會 在 中 途 說 錯 詞 或 者 有 任 何 失 誤 。 不 過 , 到 了 正 式 錄 的 時 候 , 我 們 做 ⾜ 準 備 , 沒 有 任 何 失 誤 。 於 是 錄

Hong Kong
Competition
Language has always been our main way of
communicating with each other. We began to
develop our language skills during infancy, learning
intuitively from our parents and surroundings.
Luckily for us, our school- CKY has always strived
for every student to be bilingual, or even
multilingual. Since primary, our kind teachers have
spent all their effort in nurturing our bilingualism. In
order for us students to challenge ourselves,
especially in the most common languages--English
and Chinese--students from years six to nine were
recently given the opportunity to translate two
different extracts. One from Chinese to English and
the other vice versa.
Throughout the week, I tested myself to translate
both extracts without translating every word
directly. I focused on the major points and used the
general meaning of each sentence to reconstruct
the piece in Chinese or English.
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this
experience as I felt like an inspiring author writing a
novel full of surprises. Although the translation
wasn’t original, writing a story from a concept in my
own words allowed me to use my imagination to
develop the plot and find the hidden meanings
behind ambiguous words.
Overall, I would like to thank our school for giving
everyone the opportunity to exhibit their fluency in
both English and Chinese. As well as believing that
all of us can succeed in this competition.
7A Sylvia Lee
When our school entered a translation competition in April, as a passionate writer, I was ever so pleased to hear the
news. Some of the class were taken aback, others looked excited. One thing was sure: this would inevitably be a
challenging task.
When we received our translation texts, my estimations were confirmed. However interesting, there were quite a few
obstacles on my journey of translation.
With little to no experience with translating passages, I conquered a few difficulties with translating the specific terms
and names like “ 魯 迅 ” and “ 廈 ⾨⼤ 學 ” into English.
The real trouble, however, was to keep the original style and tone of writing while achieving the primary meanings of
the passage the writer conveyed. This was fundamental as the writer was very genuine with their story, so I did not
want to destroy their efforts.
It was a long process dedicated to trial and error- experimenting with different words to see which fits best; using
different sentence structures to determine the perfect layout; finally getting a satisfactory result.
The translation process was enlightening- it taught me how to think from different perspectives for the best results. It
also introduced me to a new book- The Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne.

Growing up in Hong Kong, we are exposed to English and Chinese at a young age. Being bilingual
seems like an easy thing, but it’s different when it comes to translating. Reading and writing at the
same time is demanding, considering the grammar for English and Chinese are structured differently.
Usually, we think and speak in one language at a time. Combining both languages is like a workout
for my brain, as it requires twice as much effort as normal writing. Having an opportunity to translate
a piece of text for the translation competition was a new experience for me, and I took up the
challenge. It was like a musician interpreting a piece of music.
Playing the wrong note would make the piece sound out of place, so you must understand the time
signature and key of the music. The most crucial essence of translation for me would be to
understand what the true purpose of the piece was supposed to be. Translating a text without
understanding the idea being presented would be the same as running the text through a computer
translator. The words might have the same meaning, but the text doesn’t feel alive. Just like music,
you need to add in suitable emotion and your own playing style. The author has only layered a base
for you to build on and pass through time. Each musician plays Mozart’s 20th concerto in a new way,
building on what Mozart originally had in mind.
After the attempt, I realized that it wasn’t as easy. Like any well-known musician, they have been
mastering their instrument for years. Having little to no experience in translating before this
competition was a struggle. I wasn’t too sure of how to approach the task, but after visualizing it as
playing a new piece on the violin, I got the grasp of translation and ensued a well-written orchestral
solo.

Three students from 9C, Kai Wang, Peter Nui and Ingrid Chan, competed in the Hubro
Championship Business Simulation. The online competition had over 1,000 students
participating from more than 25 countries around the world! They successfully achieved
first-runner-up for creating a business plan for their product range of jetpacks. Below,
Peter reflects on the team’s experience and the entrepreneurial skills they gained.
We had a productive team experience
throughout this competition. Overall we worked
cohesively as a group and that was a driving force
towards our achievements. During the competition
period, we were committed to meet at seven every
evening and discuss our strategies. With the goal to
maximize our shareholder equity, we put great focus
on, for example, the future trend of products based on
the economic data given, and the equity performance
of our competitors. This helped us to be better
strategic thinkers and to make more rational decisions
for our product choice.
In the preliminary quarter round, although
our opinions seemed to agree at times, there were
multiple instances in which we debated over different
perspectives towards our business strategies. For
example, on the last day of the first round, we were
trailing 1st place by a considerable margin. We
argued ferociously on whether or not we should “go all
out” or to play safe. We exchanged our different views
over other teams’ statistics for almost 2 hours. Finally,
we decided to be bold and take risks. It paid off as we
won the 1st round with a narrow margin of about
5,000 dollars.
In the final round, we definitely felt very
excited and energetic with vivid ideas and discussion.
For example, we were very anxious towards making
one simple decision of how much to produce due to
lack of intel shown by other groups. Throughout the
process in the finals, our team collaboration and
communication skills were enhanced with great team
bonding and no form of resentment even if we
disagreed. Finally, we obtained the first-runner up,
although missing out from the champion by a tiny
margin. We are still satisfied with our results.
Looking back, there are multiple skills that we
have improved in this learning experience and
application for what we have learnt during our
Economics lessons. First of all, we learned to analyse
data given by the simulation and hence predict the
intentions of other competitors. For example, we can
employ data to predict what jetpacks they are going to
produce and make our decisions strategically to
monopolize the products that we would like to
produce. We also learnt to control our production
levels by observing data from the demand curve of
our potential consumers to lower the risk of loss.
Furthermore, we also learnt to employ our resources
effectively such as the use of factories in the
simulation in order to maximise production efficiency
and hence increase equity. Lastly, we also learned
effective communication amongst groupmates, which
is very essential towards building a successful
business as different members have to work together
effectively and cohesively in order to thrive.
Overall it has been a very pleasant
experience with the multiple entrepreneurial skills that
equip us with better views of the commercial world.
We strongly recommend year 8s and 9s to join next
year in this fun competition!

Hi I am Honoria! I have been
learning gymnastics since the age
of 4. I can do the splits and many
different stretches. My stretches
can be used in my jazz and K-pop
routines. I go to lessons with my
best friend.
I am Charley Yip and I love
Latin dance. I have won more
than 20 Gold Medals in Dance
Sports Competitions, but
certainly I have also lost many
more. Whether I win or not, I
remain fully committed to this
great passion.
Latin dance is one of Lois’
hobbies. Lois was the Hong Kong
Dance sport Association under
Six Latin Dance champion for
2019. She likes dancing because
it is fun and she enjoys having a
great time with her sister, Charley,
and friends.
I am Janis Chim of Class 3A. I have been playing the harp
for 5 years. When I was five, I started playing the harp as
my fingers were a bit short for the piano keyboard.
My first public performance was conducted at the age of 5
for Yan Chai Hospital and I have enjoyed playing in public
since then. I was honored to have the opportunity to
perform in Osaka, Japan in 2018 and Calgary, Canada in
2019.
Playing the harp is never easy. I find it most challenging to
read the music scores and plucking the strings at the same
time. My fingers have to be strong and flexible.

Hello, I am Marcus Leung. I have been
greatly interested in performing magic tricks
since I was at kindergarten. I think magic
tricks can help to build intimate connections
between family and friends. Also, it creates
entertainment and amazement for the
audience.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided
to set up my YouTube channel - Marcus'
Magic Channel to spread the joy and
wonder of the magic tricks. There are
different types of magic tricks like object
multiplication and restoration. Personally, I
love vanish and transposition the most.

CKY Solar Garden Roof
Two students in 9C, Kai Wang and Ingrid Chan, recently interviewed Mr. Kenji
Chan (CKY Campus Manager) and Mr. Louis Wong (Head of Secondary STEM) to
find out more about the exciting solar panel developments on the rooftop of our
campus.
Introduction
Nowadays, renewable energy is playing an increasingly large role in our lives as the world
slowly realises the importance of sustainable energy, and the significance of protecting the earth.
Changes, though not easily noticeable, are gradually taking place - a sporadic scatter of proof that the
society is finally starting to care. One of these changes is happening right here at our school. If you
have paid attention to assembly, you may be aware that there is a set of solar panels on the rooftop of
our school. We are going to be briefly looking at the origins of the solar panels and what they are for.
emsd support
The school installed the solar panels due to its participation in a program organised by the
EMSD (otherwise known as Electrical and Mechanical Services Department), which was created for all
schools in Hong Kong as well as NGOs. EMSD would provide advice, consultancy as well as the
mechanical experts for the installation of the solar panels, while the premises would be provided by the
schools or the NGO’s. Since Head Principal Lau was interested in this program, along with the fact that
there is always sufficient sunlight on our school rooftop, our school applied for the program. It is
estimated that the total funding provided by the EMSD is around $100,000. EMSD also provides us with
1 year warranty for the repair or maintenance costs of the solar panels, lest there be any malfunctions.
Page 15

Technical details
Through the implementation of solar panels and the aid provided by EMSD, our school is
capable of generating 1,000-1,200 kWh of electrical energy per month, which is equivalent to HK$5K to
6K per month, where 1 kWh is equivalent to $5. Nevertheless, the electricity generated will firstly go
through the meter of the CLP (for measuring the electricity produced), prioritising our school power load
first, if the electricity produced is more than the load of our school at that moment, then the excess
electricity generated would go outside school. Furthermore, as the school participates in the Feed-in
Tariff (FiT) Scheme, the CLP meter connected to our solar panels would then calculate the total amount
of electricity bills deducted according to the electricity generated.
Repair and Maintenance
The efficiency of solar panels is largely affected by the amount of light which reaches the solar cells.
Since there are dust particles in the air which would accumulate on the panels overtime, the solar panels
need to be cleaned regularly. The school arranges janitors to clean the solar panels on a regular basis,
using warm water and a clean cloth to clean them. If they are not cleaned properly, up to 5-10% of its
efficiency will be reduced. In addition to that, regular maintenance needs to be conducted. As mentioned
above, EMSD provides 1 year warranty for the maintenance of the solar panels. These include regular
inspections by electricians. However, after 1 year, the school would be responsible for the regular
maintenance of the solar panels.
Page 16

Science behind the operation
According to internet research and sources such as the HK government official site, solar panels are
made of an abundant semi-conductive material--crystalline silicon. This is due to the qualities such as being
able to conduct electricity, while maintaining an electrical imbalance needed to create an electric field.
Hence, the solar PV panels are constructed of multiple small photovoltaic cells, meaning that they can
convert solar energy to electrical energy. Nevertheless, this process is conducted with the aid of the electron
difference between P-type and N-type type solar cells. A P-type cell usually dopes its silicon wafer with
boron, which has one less electron than silicon (making the cell positively charged), whilst a N-type cell is
doped with phosphorus, which has one more electron than silicon (making the cell negatively charged). This
hence results in a circulatory flow of electrons from one cell to the other through the wiring at the end of the
cell, powering the designated electrical equipment, or in this case, generating electricity for CLP.

For those of you who are eager for more information, feel free to check out the video below, which
explores more about why the solar panels were installed in our school as well as the background of the
program funded by EMSD.

HONG KONG CONVENTION CENTER
ART EXHIBITION
"Find Imagination Everywhere" is not only the theme of this year's student art exhibition of
Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School, but can also be said to be the core value for Art. Under
such a vibrant learning atmosphere, students' creativity and artistic talents can be fully
realized. For many years, the school’s art exhibitions have been the students’ stage of artistic
expression, creating beautiful memories one after another.

Happy Leaves
The idea of “Happy Leaves” is all
about life. We need to show our
happy life like a leaf to grow their own
shape.
I was curious about different things in the
art exhibition. For example, I saw the Year
5 Woodblock artworks and I wondered
what tools were used and how the marks
were created. I also noticed some of the
artworks from the secondary students
were photographs and I learnt that, other
than drawing and painting, photography is
also a form of art.

I think all the artworks were really cool! It was
my first time to have my artwork in the
exhibition and it was very exciting. I chose to
make the crab dish because my mum likes to
eat crab. It was easy and fun to make.
2C Morgan Leung
I have visited the HKCC Art Exhibition for
three years. I think many students really like
art as I can see their efforts in their nice
paintings. My favourite pictures were the Y3
Mythical Creatures. This picture next to me is
named “COVID-19”. The virus looks so scary
and realistic! I hope the virus will be gone
soon.

I am honored and happy to be among the many talented CKY artists to share our
artwork in this meaningful exhibition. My mythical creature is Kitty's Couch. It
portrays a kitten resting on a live, upside-down jellyfish. The kitten is leaning
against a seashell with a pair of special cat ears. One ear plays nature music,
while the other plays relaxing music for sleep. When dangerous animals come
near, the jellyfish protects the kitten by opening its glow-in-the-dark eyes to scare
away predators.

Woodblock carving
I chose St. Basil's Cathedral as it is one of a kind
and unique. There are amazing colours and
designs, and at the top, I love its dome shape.
It’s like the icing on top of a cake. Carving the
woodblock was fun to create although the
curves and edges were a bit challenging. It also
reminds me of the castle in Disneyland.
5B Cassy Chea
I love how colour pencils were used
to make a gradient effect on the
famous buildings of France. The
fine black marker really made the
buildings stand out. I think this
artwork really resembles the beauty
of France, being the fourth most
beautiful country in Europe. Overall,
it was a wonderful experience
visiting this art exhibition.
8A Meredith Chung
Through creating this wire portrait, I have learnt how to simplify designs because the
entire face has to be done in one line. I am very proud and happy about my artwork
being selected in the exhibit, because more people can see what I created and I am
happy to share what I'm proud of as well. I enjoy visiting the school's art exhibition
and I go almost every year with my mom, and we spend about half an hour looking at
artworks from different year levels. We like to see what projects I might be doing in
the next few years, and just appreciate the art created by the students of our school.
Thank you for exhibiting my work!

trilingual Poetry Recitation Competition
English
I practiced for a week.
Every day I read it five
times to memorize the
poems. The challenges
are memorizing the
words. I feel happy.
1D Jayden Chan
I was in shock after my class teacher announced that I
have been selected to represent CKY in the Hong Kong
Children Speech Competition. I never thought I would
make it and it is such a big honour. I felt like a star in the
family when I dramatically shared this piece of good
news with them. Best of all, my twin brother, Callum
from 2B was also chosen to represent school in the
competition! My lovely family was just stunned and
thrilled! I keep wondering these days, “Will I win or will I
lose?” No matter what the results are, I will try my best
and won’t have any regrets. Finally, I want to thank my
family for supporting me. I also want to thank the class
teachers for choosing me.
2D Chloe Cheng
When I first started reciting
this poem, I had mispronounced
some of the words, my sound wasn’t
smooth and I struggled a little to
memorise the poem. But after a few
days of trying, I fixed my mistakes
and could recite the poem with
expression and pronounce the words
correctly. When I first read the poem,
I found out that it is about some
aliens who have landed on earth like
a meteor and they are teachers
working in our school.
3E Mischa Lan
It describes how the aliens look and smell, which I think is
very special. After I read this poem, I would really want to meet the
aliens, so I could help them take a shower and remove the bad smell of
dead sardines. It would be fun to go to school with these aliens as
teachers! Because I want to ride the flying saucer to tour around the
Earth.
The poem reminds me of an incident at home. I remember there
was a time that mum forgot to put her uncooked sardines in the fridge.
Then the next morning, our home was filled with the smell of dead
sardines, it was horrible!
5F Ashley Cheung
This is the first time CKY had a
trilingual poetry competition! Everyone
was required to recite three poems in
English, Cantonese and Putonghua. In
the beginning, I thought it was not
easy to memorise everything, but later
it turns out to be quite enjoyable.
Between the lines of the Chinese
poem, I can sense the author’s
nostalgic feeling in memory of her
mother; where in the Cantonese
poem, I was moved by the author’s
positive attitude when facing
challenges; then came the selfdeprecating
sense of humour in the
English poem that brought a smile on
my face. I really hope that there will be
another poetry competition next year!
4F Kaylee Ho
I was enthusiastic when I found out that
we would have an in school speech
competition! Since we studied the
Tudors’ history in the first term, I already
have vivid pictures on how I would
present my speech. My English speech
turned out to be superb! My secret is to
keep practising! This competition is
called “Trilingual Competition” which
means speaking in three different
languages fluently. Even for Cantonese
and Putonghua speech, all I did was
practice, practice and practice. The more
I practiced, the more I became good at it.
As people always say, “Practice makes
perfect.”

WORKSHOP
“Hour of Code Hong Kong” is an organisation that offers free one hour coding workshops to everyone, to
prove that coding is not as challenging as it may seem. It aims to expose the complicated field of computer
science to a broader range of people in a relatively fun way, allowing them to realise how fascinating it can
be to code, encouraging them to think outside of the box as opposed to the traditional way of teaching
step-by-step. Through the lessons, students would also be able to take away important coding concepts so
they can apply them to their daily lives in the future. Since last year, our school has partnered with Hour of
Code, City University of Hong Kong to arrange scratch workshops for CKY Year 4-5 students, aiming to
popularise STEM education in our school.
I have attended 2 of the CKY Hour of Code Workshops and watched one of the
workshop videos. The most rewarding part of the workshop was creating the
games and playing them in the end. The workshops made me learn about various
problem solving skills and the spirit of never giving up when you fail. I like learning
from the IB students from CKY. They presented different concepts clearly and I
also enjoyed the games we made during the workshops. I never knew that you
could make and create so many different games with Scratch! I would like to study
more about coding in the future, as it is fun, useful, enjoyable and educational. I
really liked the game designs used in the workshops, as they were intriguing and
intuitive to make at the same time. I also liked how there was an extra Google
Meet session for individual help in case you didn’t understand something. Overall,
it was a very rewarding experience and I hope to join more coding classes in the
future.
5D Haruka Hung
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!
5F Julian Chang
The CKY “Hour of Code” workshop is Fantastic!
I have attended all three CKY “ Hour of Code ” workshops.
I learned different skills every workshop, like how to set the player’s score, or decrease
the score whenever the player was damaged. The most rewarding experience was
from the first workshop, where the IB senior students taught me how to add sound
effects in my projects. It was a totally new thing to me. So very thank you to all the
senior CKY students in the workshop for teaching me. A lot of people have asked me
how the workshop affects me, and I believe that it sharply improves my coding skills
and it’s mostly fun. The way I feel like learning from the CKY senior students is just
COOL, because they have far more knowledge about coding and we younger kids can
be sure to learn more from them. I would definitely like to study more about coding in
the future because I could create more fun games for others. I could also spend some
time playing or create games while I’m having my freetime, so I can relax for a little
after school time. By the way, I must recommend the projects of my good friend and
classmate Kevin to everybody. His username is Keiwanchan. He joined Scratch for far
longer than me. And I have to say, his coding skills are far beyond mine. I especially
enjoy his Pong (with AI) game. The game is just about bouncing the ball on two sides,
but on the computer. My username is danielsese on Scratch. There is a remix of Star
Wars and Plants vs Zombies. I also have some other games like Dr zomboss and
more. Once again a great big thank you to the IB senior students for teaching me.

Mathematics
We’re continuing to develop our
mathematics curriculum with the aim
of improving students’ ability to think
critically and creatively while solving
problems in daily life as well as
in mathematical contexts and other
disciplines. Mathematics emphasises
the importance of nurturing students’
competence in applying information
technology (IT) while learning maths.
We’ll also focus on strengthening
students’ ability to integrate and
apply mathematics knowledge and
skills through STEM education.
From basic human behaviour to
s o m e t h i n g a s c o m p l e x a s
international government affairs,
there are never black-and-white
issues in the field of Economics.
We are planning to provide more
opportunities for students to
express their insightful criticisms
and opinions on such economic
issues by introducing analytical
and debating competitions.
Students will be more aware of
both local and international
economic topics and learn to
become a critical thinker.

CKY Science will be adapting the newly installed solar panels (more precisely, the
photo-voltaic cells) on the rooftop to our curriculum in the next academic year. We
feel ecstatic to see the development of green energy in CKY. Nothing is better than
collecting and analysing first-hand data when studying in science!
The History department will be incorporating more elements about social history and
gender equality into our curriculum. We look forward to teaching students about how
societies have progressed throughout the course of history, such as important
reforms in social structures that shape our world today.

The time has come! After years of preparing our students, our department will
welcome our first cohort of students on to the IGCSE Computer Science course.
This will run parallel with the existing IGCSE ICT course and reflects our
continued mission to educate our students as to the evolving importance of data
in our data driven society and the increased interaction between humans and
computers in society today.

After a long time of limited interaction with others, as well as "hiding” behind a
mask, the Drama department will focus on the mental well-being of the
students. Our curriculum will evolve around building confidence, expressing
themselves and showing themselves. We aim to achieve this through
interactive drama games, presentations, performances and most of all a
growth mindset that will help to bring out the best in each of them.

This year, we have changed the TOK curriculum to make it
more exciting and closely connected with real-world context.
We added some new topics, such as technology, to the new
curriculum. The new topics allow teachers and students to
explore different controversial issues, making the learning
process more enjoyable. Besides, we will hold a TOK
exhibition every year to provide students with an opportunity
to show how TOK can be applied in the real world.
DT is planning to start a new Instagram

於 培 養 學 ⽣ 學 習 中 ⽂ 的 興 趣 , 為 學 ⽣ 創 設 更 有 趣 的 學 習 話 題 和 活 動 , 讓 他 們 從 中 得 到
學 習 中 ⽂ 的 成 就 感 , 希 望 藉 此 改 變 學 ⽣ 對 中 ⽂ 的 刻 板 觀 感 , 引 領 他 們 感 悟 中 ⽂ 的 有 趣
之 處 。

STEM in CKY Primary was only officially introduced in the last two years and it's
been exciting to see how much the students challenge themselves to innovate
and create. Moving forward, CKY will continue to add more exciting design and
innovation activities for students to enjoy.

Science Symposium
The science symposium has finally come to an end this year after a long journey of 6
months! Despite the influence of pandemic, our event successfully took place online.
Year 6s are to design and build a balloon-powered car that
can move in the straight direction as far as possible. The
students will investigate the relationship between the size of
the balloon and the car’s performance. They will test the
performance of the car by measuring the distance that it
travels with the help of an inflated balloon.
Winner: 6A Rosaline Chong
Year 7s are to design and build a sound blocking container that can
reduce the transmission of sound that is generated outside the
container to be transmitted into the container. To measure the
decrease in sound intensity due to sound blocking, the students will
use the Arduino Science Journal app. Importantly, they will choose
one of the following three independent variables and investigate
how it affects sound blocking: 1) type of material; 2) thickness of
material; or 3) geometric shape of
Winner: 7A Shannon Lau
Year 8s are expected to come up with an investigation based on
the background study regarding at least one of the elements among
“Energy, Engineering and Environment”. The research question has
to be scientifically and socially meaningful and approved by the
supervisors. The experiments shall be done with the app called
"Arduino Science Journal" which provides data-logging function, or
other digital data-logging devices such as smart watches.
Check out the replay of the final presentations as
well as the posters at our website!

Y5 Geometrocity
Y5 students created a city that uses 2D and 3D, practicing both plane and solid geometry. This project
allows them to practice and apply learned skills in geometry while problem solving and making decisions
based on their own knowledge, creativity and imagination. They have utilised many types of geometric
concepts such as nets to create buildings and structures, designing parts of a city with shapes, lines,
angles and incorporating multiple skills at the same time to reach their objectives.

Jasmine Kwok
(CKY Class of 2017)
Hello, fellow CKY-ers! This is Jasmine from the
Class of 2017. I have just graduated from King’s
College London studying a BA degree in
Geography. By July 2021, I will be working in
London as a Management Associate in Citigroup.
Having been in CKY for 12 years, from 2005-2017,
I remember feeling disoriented when I first attended
university. Looking back, it has been amazing in the
past four years, and I can’t believe how fast time
flies, and now I’m heading into adulthood.
CKY friendship bonds that are made to last
It might be easy for some to fit into the new
university culture, find your group of friends
quickly, and pick up on academics with ease.
However, I recall feeling disconnected, thinking I
did not fit in anywhere at the university. It was a
combination of homesickness and fear for the
future, which I soon overcame in a couple
months. I cannot stress enough that you must
make the most out of your university life, meet
as many friends as possible, upskill yourself and
try out all sorts of activities. Meeting new friends
may be intimidating for introverts but easy for
extroverts that are social butterflies. It is
ultimately your choice in choosing whether to
stay within your comfort circle or broaden your
circle. From my personal experience, I have met
people who have impacted me into a better
person and made the university experience a lot
more enjoyable.
With fellow CKY alumni Gwyneth and Flora
I have met many lovely coursemates who are
helpful and supportive all along — the late
nights we spent on finishing assignments, café
hopping journeys to catch up on lectures. And
surely, the language and socialising skills CKY
equipped me with were useful when I joined a
KCL committee. I adapted to different working
cultures with students from all around the globe
— India, Singapore, Pakistan, Jamaica, Taiwan,
Lithuania. My study abroad experience at KCL
took me out of the cosy bubble. Still, I had no
issue integrating into other cultures.

Making new acquaintances in cosmopolitan London
Additionally, remember that opportunities will not come knocking on your door if you stay in your
bedroom all day. It might be frightening to meet new people, scroll through social media and see your
classmates blending in perfectly fine. However, it is a truism that social media is a façade. People will
always post things that show off their seemingly fantastic life. Making friends will come naturally after
you settle in for a few months at your own pace.
University is a great chance to build up connections for your career — Indeed, you may find new
people less genuine than CKY-ers you have known for more than 10 years. And that is true! In
university, you will find yourself missing your high-school life, people who grew up with you who
understand you in the best way. You will meet many acquaintances and hi-bye friends but aren’t
forming meaningful relationships; some of them might be approaching just for certain intentions.
However, remember that quality matters more than quantity — filter out toxic people and keep in touch
with the genuine and important people who truly matter to you.
Lastly, in the age of a pandemic, finding a job is even more difficult in the competitive market. I have
been in a helpless situation where I felt lost about the future, facing numerous rejections for my job
applications. I would recommend identifying your goal as early as possible and prepare materials to
work towards it. It is not ideal to panic-apply in your final year, finding yourself adrift in messy thoughts.
Remember that the CKY alumni network will always be there for you. Take initiative and don’t hesitate
to grasp any opportunities.

我 的 ⾳ 樂 之 旅
不 知 不 覺 間 , 已 經 從 蔡 繼
有 學 校 畢 業 接 近 四 年 了 , 我 在 演
藝 學 院 的 旅 程 亦 差 不 多 結 束 , 準
備 邁 向 加 拿 ⼤ 多 倫 多 ⼤ 學 進 修 ⾳
樂 碩 ⼠。 這 四 年 間 , 藉 着 不 同 的
演 出 及 ⼯ 作 機 會 , 讓 我 意 識 到 表
演 就 是 我 的 ⽣ 命 。 接 近 ⼀ 年 半 的
疫 情 , 場 地 不 定 時 的 封 鎖 , 令 到
我 們 表 演 者 無 法 預 測 下 ⼀ 次 的 表
演 會 是 何 時 , 所 以 , 對 我 們 ⽽
⾔, 每 ⼀ 個 在 舞 台 上 的 機 會 都 是
奢 侈 的 。 如 此 , 我 格 外 感 恩 及 珍
惜 每 個 在 台 上 表 演 的 機 會 。
去 年 ⼋⽉, 我 舉 辦 了 ⼀ 場
網 上 直 播 的 ⾳ 樂 會 。 原 本 , 這 是
⼀ 場 在 六 ⽉ 的 現 場 獨 奏 會 , 可 是
因 為 疫 情 的 關 係 ⽽ 被 取 消 。 迫 於
無 奈 之 下 , 唯 有 將 它 變 成 網 上 直
播 ⾳ 樂 會 。 讓 我 ⾼ 興 的 是 , 收 穫
的 是 有 很 多 意 想 不 到 的 正 ⾯ 迴
響 。 我 相 信 , 觀 眾 是 會 被 注 ⼊ 靈
魂 及 充 滿 熱 誠 的 表 演 ⽽ 帶 動 的 。
尤 其 是 在 這 社 會 氣 氛 低 迷 的 時
代 , 這 ⼀ 點 的 能 量 能 令 觀 眾 們 抽
離 現 實 , 投 ⼊ 在 其 中 。
在 即 將 來 臨 的 六 ⽉, 我 將
會 在 演 藝 學 院 舉 辦 我 的 畢 業 獨 奏
會 。 希 望 屆 時 的 疫 情 不 會 惡 化 ,
始 終 現 場 的 表 演 是 不 能 網 上 直 播
能 ⽐ 擬 的 。 對 於 將 在 加 拿 ⼤ 進 修
的 ⼀ 事 , 我 感 到 ⼗ 分 期 待 的 同
時 , 亦 有 ⼀ 絲 的 不 安 。 環 境 轉 變
是 我 需 要 ⾯ 對 的 ⼀ 個 課 題 , 但 我
相 信 : 只 要 我 保 持 對 表 演 的 熱
誠 , 便 能 ⾯ 對 任 何 的 挑 戰 。
