Dear Students, Teachers and Parents,
Welcome back after the Easter holiday. It is appropriate to take time to reflect on
the fact that we are now closer to the end of the year than we are to the beginning.
It is amazing how fast time has flown this year. Talk around our school is now
focused on final school examinations, external examinations, Enrichment Week,
Graduation Dinners and Graduation Ceremonies.
Much has happened since I last wrote to you all in early December. We have just
finished a series of examinations, in fact four separate sessions of examinations,
and yet there seems to be no time at all before we once again go into ‘examination
mode’. We’ve had school based examinations for students in non-examination
years (Forms 1 - 3 and Form 5) then ‘mock exams’ for students in our examination
years with our Form 4, Form 6 and A1/A2 students all taking examinations at
different times. I can’t help but think that this is terribly disruptive to our school as a
whole, with there always seeming to be some students in regular classes whilst
other students are in examination mode. To this end I have made some changes to
the way we construct our school calendar for next school year. The first semester, school based examinations as well as
the ‘mock examinations’ for our external examination students will all be at the same time next school year, in late
January. Effectively, this means that all students in all year levels will be in examinations over the same 8 day time
period, in late January. There will of course be quality teaching and learning right up until the examinations begin and
then the whole school will take their examinations at the same time. At the end of the examination period the whole
school will then break for the Lunar New Year holiday. With both Chinese (Lunar) New Year and Easter falling at
different times from year to year the creation of an effective school calendar presents as a yearly challenge but one that
I feel is worth taking up for the good of our entire school community. I’ll explain some details of the changes to our new
school calendar later in this article. Further details of the new calendar, along with the new calendar itself, will be
shared with everyone later this school year.
Competition for places in our Form 1 class for next year, the Class of 2019, has been very competitive. We have had
approximately three students applying for every one place we are able to offer. This is both very satisfying that so many
families desire to trust us with their child’s education but at the same time it is difficult to have to disappoint so many
families when we say that we are unable to enroll their child. For me personally it is one of the most difficult times of the
year.
1
Principal’s Welcome
Another change that will occur for next years’ Form 1 students is the timing of the Bridging Course. Every year our new
Form 1 students attend a two week bridging course to help to identify and rectify any gaps they may have in their
learning, specifically in Mathematics and Chinese. The program has been successful, but in recent years it was also
been held at the start of summer. This created a couple of problems. First of all not all primary schools (local and
international) finish at the same time for the summer so some students were leaving early to attend our two week
course while others were waiting around for it to begin. However, the more important issue for me was the real fear,
borne from conversations with students, parents and teachers involved that having such a course, then going on a 5
week holiday before returning to start the new school year, was that a serious amount of information was lost or
‘forgotten’ over the break. To that end I have relocated the bridging course to the last two weeks before we start the new
school year. The course will run from 19th August and finish on 30th August. This means that our new Form 1 students
will finish their bridging course on the Friday and start the new school year with the rest of our community two days later
on 2nd September. It is our hope that the learning undertaken in this course will then be of great value and that the rate
of retention will be significant as the gap between the end of the summer course and the start of the new school will be
reduced from five weeks to merely a weekend.
Recently we hosted a very successfully received Parent Teacher Conference program. These conferences presented as a
tremendous opportunity for parents and teachers to get together and have informative conversations about the
academic progress of our students. I was especially impressed with the number of students who attended these
conferences with their parents. Personally I feel very strongly that students should attend these conferences. Put simply
it is their progress that is going to be the focus of the conversations, why shouldn’t they be a part of these discussions.
Previously I mentioned a new calendar change I, along with our teachers, will implement for next year. This will also have
implications for Parent-Teacher(-Student) conferences for next year. In the 2013 - 2014 school year we will, as a school,
move away from a ‘term based’ school year. The idea of having three terms yet having semester examinations didn’t
seem to fit, especially as how first semester is currently 60 days long and second semester is 90 days long. So we will
roll out a ‘quarter based’ structure for teaching, learning and assessment in the 2013 - 2014 school year. There will be
four quarters across the year with Quarters 1 & 2 forming Semester 1 and Quarters 3 & 4 forming Semester 2. A report
card will be issued at the end of each quarter. How does this apply to our Parent-Teacher Conferences? Well as
impressive as they were and as positively as they were received there was, to me, one simple drawback. They were too
late in the year.

Principal’s Welcome
Having parents meeting with teachers, for the first time, to talk about the academic progress their child was making, in
February, when we started the year in September is just too late. So next year we’ll have two sets of Parent-Teacher
Conferences, one in late November (early in Quarter 2 to discuss Quarter 1 progress) and one in May (early Quarter 4 to
discuss Quarter 3 progress). In this way it facilitates an open and informative dialogue between the school and home
with respect to the progress a student is making, incorporating both commendations and recommendations for areas of,
and strategies for, improvement. Such conversations will serve to be vitally important, not to mention inherently useful,
with a view to an examination period (either school based or external) that will be approaching in a few months after
these conferences.
I also wanted to share with you that there is a large number of our teachers (26 in total) who have joined me in looking
at our school timetable. The current structure is a source of significant stress for many of our students and teachers.
There are so many lessons in the day with very short change over times between lessons. On many occasions we are
moving close to 1,000 people around the school in the same five minute window. These teachers have volunteered their
valuable time and expertise to work with me after school on a number of occasions to research and look at various
options for introducing a ‘block scheduling’ option for our school timetable. Put simply a block schedule involves having
longer teaching lessons across a day but as our school day would start and finish at approximately the same time there
would be fewer lessons in a day. One option, and I stress only one option being considered, would be to switch from 8 x
40 minute lessons in a day to 4 x 80 minute lessons in a day. Block schedules also operate on a cycle basis as opposed
to the current ‘days of the week’ model, so students and teachers would refer (for academic lesson purposes) to days by
numbers, such as today is a Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3 as opposed to a Monday or a Tuesday. Of course we’d still use the
days of the week for all ECA and other afterschool events.
This timetable taskforce group has been working for months now on this challenge. We are researching academic
journals for best practice around the world whilst at the same time we are looking at what other successful schools are
doing both here in Hong Kong, around Asia, and also in wider regions of our world. The overarching rationale for this
work is simple – to facilitate the delivery of quality teaching to enable enhanced and prolonged student learning. All
recommendations from this ‘timetable working group’ will be tabled at the school leadership team who will, in concert
with feedback from the School Supervisor and the SMC (School Management Committee) make decisions about which
option to implement. I do wish to clearly point out however that any changes to our existing timetable would not take
effect until the start of the 2014 - 1015 school year. Our existing timetable structure will continue for at least next school
year. A schools’ timetable is fundamentally important in the operation of a school, it drives the school both inside and
outside the classroom, and so any change needs to be very carefully thought through, researched and examined,
anticipating any potential drawbacks and then how these can be overcome. Even once a new structure has been agreed
upon it is prudent to allow teachers and school leaders to have at least an academic year to plan for the changes in
terms of teaching scope and sequence within the realms of both academic and pastoral frameworks.

Principal’s Welcome
Our students are continuing to excel across a number of endeavors, both
academic and sporting. In the 64th English Speech Festival, open to schools
across Hong Kong, 5 pairs of our students in the Dramatic Duologue
category claimed all three of the top prizes, Champions, Runner-up and 3rd
Place across two consecutive days. Congratulations to Georgina Medd (3A)
and Shannon Tjon (3H) who were named Champions on the first day of the
competition and to Heulwyn Jenkins (3K) and Kim Thuy Gordon (3K) who
were named Champions on the second day.
In the Annual Music Contest, hosted by the Buddhist Fat Ho Memorial
College our school singing group, the ‘Trebles’, successfully defended the
Championship they won last year by repeating as the Champion group on
this year’s competition. Congratulations to the following students: Kleyr
Ombao (6Y), Zarah Lingan (6A), Ysabelle Trujillo Jose (6A), Isaak Manuel
(6C), Nicholas Serneo (6Y) and Jealdrin Madrid (5C).
At the recent Islands District Invitational Cup for Cheerleading, our senior
school team, Blue Phoenix, was successful in winning the overall Invitational
Championship. Congratulations to all our cheerleaders.
In other events around the school in the last few months we hosted a very
successful Blood Donation Day in cooperation with the Red Cross of Hong
Kong. In excess of 100 people, students, teachers and staff donated blood
and I thank all those who did so to help so many in need in the wider Hong
Kong community. The Humanities Department hosted a series of events
around Chinese New Year to help to explain to our community who are
from a non-Chinese background, the history, cultural and significance of
many of the traditions that are a part of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
The Science Department hosted a very successful ‘Chemistry Corner’
across a number of days in an effort to take science ‘out of the classroom’
and show many of its uses in everyday life. The number of hands on
activities and demonstrations were very popular and well received by the
wider school community. The Languages Department also combined
together to host a very special ‘Language Week’, just before the Lunar New
Year holidays. Activities were held at lunchtimes at various locations
around the school, many of which were hands on activities that allowed all
students to participate in many of the cultural practices of the counties that
are part of our languages program. All languages we offer, Chinese,
Japanese, Spanish and French participated on different days in a very
successful program.

Principal’s Welcome
At this time of the year we also have to say goodbye to different year levels as they leave us to prepare for their final
external examinations. A few weeks ago we fare welled our Form 6 students (HKDSE) and in a week or so we’ll say
goodbye to our A2 students (GCE-A Levels). Both these groups will not return to school in an official capacity until their
graduation ceremony in June. We wish all these students the very best as they prepare for these challenging
examinations. Our Form 4 students (IGCSE) will also depart soon, along with our A1 students (AS Level GCE), for external
examinations but they will return to us in late May, once their examinations are over.
As we move forward these last few days, towards the Easter break, I encourage all our students to maintain their focus,
to continue to strive for excellence in all your classes, to continue to work with your teachers so that you can enter any
examination, internal or external, with a sense of calm and grace, confident that you can use the opportunity to
demonstrate the learning you have mastered these last months.
To those travelling over the Easter break, I wish you safe travels and a great time with family and friends. I wish you all
every blessing for the Easter season. I look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and recharged after Easter.

Admissions
Admissions
The first two rounds of admission interviews for the 2013 – 2014 school year were completed in November and January.
As the school’s popularity has grown in the local community, so has the demand for places. Since many parents are very
keen to send their children to the school, the number of places is once again heavily over-subscribed. As a result,
applications are now closed.
With this increased demand for places and the limited number of Form 1 places offered by the EDB, the admissions
process has become even more selective as we strive to maintain a high quality, mixed culture and diverse student
body. In the current intake, the school has already accepted students from numerous countries, including the USA, UK,
India, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Korea, Japan, the Philippines and other East Asian countries, in addition to local
students from Hong Kong. New students will come and register in the school on the 11th and 12th July.

Local Curriculum
The NSS/IGCSE Options Evening was held on the evening of 8th March.
About 260 Form 2 students and parents, representing approximately 120
families, attended this event. The turnout, which was among the highest
of similar events, showed that both students and their parents were eager
to learn more about the Integrated Curriculum on offer and how they could
make subject choices.
The Integrated Curriculum,
offered by the school for
students in Forms 3 and 4, combines the content of the local curriculum
with the IGCSE curriculum. In the Integrated Curriculum, besides the core
subjects of Mathematics, English, Chinese/French/Spanish and Liberal
Studies, students can also choose three elective subjects to study in Forms
3 and 4. All students will then sit IGCSE examinations in these subjects in
April/May 2015. At the end of Form 4, students will then choose to continue
with the local curriculum or apply to study GCE ‘A’ Level subjects for the last
two years of school, after which they will sit for either the HKDSE or the GCE
‘A’ Level examinations.
Once again this year, seminars were held at lunch time and after school so
that Form 2 students could learn more about each elective subject. During the
seminars, interested students had an opportunity to ask questions and
discover whether or not they are suitable to study the subjects at Forms 3 and
4. The turnout in each subject seminar was encouraging showing again that
students want ownership in their choices and study. Most students have
already returned their Choice Form to the school, and by mid-May, the school
will announce the allocation of subjects to them.
HKDSE Examinations
Form 6 students have started their HKDSE examinations and teachers
have been busy providing extra tutorials and revision classes for during
this. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of the Form 6 students
every success in their examinations, and pray that they will be able to
approach them with confidence, knowing that they are well prepared.

GCE ‘A’ Level Information Evening
About 140 parents and students attended the GCE ‘A’ Level Information Evening on 28th February, representing
approximately 53% of all families in Form 4. During the evening, students and parents learned more about the UK
GCE ‘A’ level programme and listed to presentations about each of the 12 subjects currently on offer. Teachers
also provided information about possible career paths and university destinations. There was also an opportunity
to ask questions.
As a DSS school, the YHKCC us permitted to offer an international curriculum in Forms 5 and 6 as an alternative
to the HKDSE curriculum, as long as students predominantly follow the local curriculum. As a consequence there
are at most 80 places available on the GCE ‘A’ level programme. The deadline for submitting applications was on
the 25th March and over 100 applications have been received. Applicants will be informed of the result by late
April.

International Examinations
In just over one month, all students in Form 4, GCE A1 and GCE A2 will be sitting their IGCSE and GCE AS/A Level
examinations.
Since the school is now a registered centre for both Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and Edexcel, all
international examinations will be held in the school. The main examination period starts on 7th May and finishes in
mid-June. There are a few examinations which take place earlier, including speaking exams for various language
subjects and the controlled tests for IGCSE and GCE AS Level Art and Design.
The last day of school for GCE A2 students is on the 19th April. Form 4 and GCE A1 students will be on study leave
from 29th April until 24th May. Students on study leave are encouraged to come into school to study, attend extra
lessons or find teachers to ask questions, but they must do so in full school uniform. All students, except for those
in graduating GCE A2 classes, also have to wear full school uniform when sitting their examinations.
Students have been given Statements of Entry for both CIE and Edexcel examinations. The Statements of Entry list
all of the subjects that students have been entered for and the date of each paper. Detailed timetables showing the
exact time and venue of each examination were distributed to students and uploaded to the school website before
the Easter holiday.
Since effective revision programmes start at least 6 weeks before the date of the first examination, students are
strongly encouraged to immediately start preparing seriously for these vitally important examinations if they have
not already done so!

The Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) website is a good source of support materials and advice on how to
revise more effectively: www.cambridgestudents.org.uk
For students in Form 4, acceptance onto the GCE ‘A’ Level programme will depend to a large extent on their
performance in the IGCSE examinations. For GCE A1 students, the results of the AS Level examinations will be used
to make predicted grades which go on the confidential reference written by the school for university applications.
Regular lessons resume for Form 4 and GCE A1 students on 27th May and will continue right up until the end of
June. There is no final examination for students in Form 4 and GCE A1. GCE A1 students will use this time to get a
head start on their A2 studies. There are still some IGCSE and GCE AS/A Level examinations during this period and
students are only permitted study leave on the day before each examination.

The Heads of Year, Class Teachers and Social Workers continue to aim to
provide exceptional care for students by responding to various needs and
concerns.
A number of plans have been devised to help students embrace the school
culture, vision, mission and values, and raise greater awareness of their
social responsibilities. Students are discovering the positive power of
community and how, if we all work together for the betterment of the school,
amazing things can be achieved. For a sustained period of time, and without
the help of janitors and canteen staff, students were encouraged to take
greater responsibility for the school environment in terms of hygiene,
cleanliness and respect for school property. Having to do this for themselves
also taught students to appreciate what the janitors and canteen staff do for
them on a daily basis. We will continue to promote the message of social
responsibility with a view to developing an even greater sense of community
and mutual respect.
The school is delighted to receive support from parents in the community. As
teacher-parent relationships continue to grow stronger, we are seeing a
positive impact in the lives of students. Parental support is especially needed
to help children negotiate the use of new technologies. The inappropriate use
of social networking sites as Facebook, Instagram, and so on, is a matter of ongoing concern. We can obviously only
monitor this during school hours and we would invite all parents to regularly address cyber issues with their children.
Proactive steps can help students avoid many of the issues that could potentially arise.

The Mentorship Programme
To continue to help and support younger students to make the
transition into secondary school, the Mentorship Programme
organized two enjoyable activities in January and February. A friendly
‘Dodgeball’ event and a ‘Bread Pudding Class’. A total of 31 students
participated in the Dodgeball activity. The mentors explained the rules
to Form 1 students and helped them get involved in the game. All of
the students and their mentors enjoyed the activity, which promoted
teamwork and co-operation. During the cookery class, students
enjoyed making the delicious pudding together.

Harmony Ambassador Scheme
By reflecting on previous experience, the Harmony Ambassadors
designed and planned visits to help the elderly. The programme was
well planned and the team members were very cooperative. Students
showed their love and care for the elderly and smiles were shared by
all. A ‘Closing Ceremony’ was held in February where students shared
their memories and happiness together. One of the students
particularly mentioned such joy and satisfaction that will never be
forgotten. A reunion will be held during an overnight camping activity
in July and students will also discuss and plan service activities for
next year.
A visit to the mentally disabled hostel was co-organized with the
Community Service Club. Students and patients enjoyed playing
many games together. A total of 19 students volunteered to join this
activity. The degree of care and maturity shown by the students
involved was all the more impressive because it was obvious that they
learned and understood more about the needs of the mentally
disabled and the challenges they face every day. In May the Harmony
Ambassadors are planning to visit elderly people who are living alone.
All students from Forms 1 to 3 are welcome to join.
An important workshop called ‘Choose to Refuse’ was arranged for
Form 1 and 2 students. The workshop cultivated peer support skills
among students to help them to provide support to others who have
been bullied.
Form 2 students were educated on the dangers and risk of pre-marital
sex though the ‘Teenage Pregnancy Workshop’. A young mother came
and shared about her experiences as a teenage mum.
Finally, students will soon have a chance to participate in different
kinds of adventure activities to enhance their self-esteem and problem solving skills. At the end of the programme,
students will have a chance to learn and serve others by providing services.

Blood Donation Day
(21st January)
Relatively fewer people donate blood in the winter, making it the most
difficult time of the year for the Hong Kong Red Cross. The recent
lingering cold weather coupled with a sharp increase in blood demand
from hospitals has adversely affected blood collection. As a result the
current blood inventory is severely insufficient.
To help with this shortfall in donations, the YHKCC held its Annual Blood
Donation Day on 21st January in the school hall. It attracted a total of
100 participants, including senior form students, teachers and staff, who
showed their enthusiasm, love and care by giving their precious blood.
The YHKCC sincerely thanks all the blood donors in this event and we look forward to seeing more and more
students and teachers next year!

Languages Department Activity - Language Week
(4th February - 8th February)
Before the Chinese New Year holidays, the Languages Department spent a week
focusing on various cultural aspects associated with the languages that students
learn. In order to create a joyful and interesting atmosphere, the Department
selected ‘Celebration’ as the theme for the Language Week. Many students enjoyed
this delightful week by participating in a variety of games and by learning some daily
phrases in different languages from countries including Japan, China, Spain and
France.
The games included the following:
1. Chinese
 Tou Hu’ Game: ‘Tou Hu’ is an ancient Chinese game. Participants have to throw arrows into a pitch pot. The
more arrows that are thrown into the pitch pot, the higher the chance to win the game.
 Grasshopper Making with a Leaf: A teacher demonstrated the techniques of using a leaf to make a grasshopper.
 New Year’s Parade: To celebrate Chinese New Year, a ‘New Year’s Parade’ was organized. Students dressed in
traditional Chinese costumes and blessed teachers and students by giving out red packets containing. chocolates.
2. Japanese
 Japanese Jenga: They introduced a very popular game ‘Japanese Jenga’ to our students. They really enjoyed
hitting the Japanese Jenga from the bottom to the top.
 Wish Making: Students wrote down words of blessing in different languages and made wishes in the Japanese
traditional way. It showed sincerity from students.
3. Spanish
 Baby Jumping: In Spanish culture, ‘baby jumping’ is a fun way to bless all new
born babies. Since we didn’t have any real babies in the school, students
experienced this culture by jumping over ‘baby dolls’!
 Piñata: Piñata is a game played annually in the school. Students very much
enjoyed this fun activity and were all excited to get candies at the end.
4. French
 Petanque: In this French game, players have to try to get a ball close to a target.
Students had a lot of fun playing this game with the French teachers.

Vanguard Student Visit
(8th March - 17th March)
To provide an excellent opportunity for our students to develop their
English and Global communication skills, seven students from
Vanguard College of Canada visited our school from 8th March to
17th March. This is Vanguard’s ninth year visiting our school and it
has always been a rich sharing between our two schools for the
benefit of all involved.
This year was the second year we had the opportunity to provide
Homestay for the seven Vanguard students, so that they may spend
more time with our students developing friendship and the cultural
exchange as well as modeling the speaking of English in real world situations with our students.
The Vanguard Students worked with our students all week and had a wonderful time getting to know our students.
“We just want to work hard and serve the YHKCC community. We want to make friends with the students and help
them to know that they have friends in Canada!” exclaimed Vanguard Team Leader, Ms. Jillian Greig.
We had collaborated with many departments in the school to come up with an enriching activity week. These
include: Form 5 student-led tour trips, discussions in PRS classes, Form 2 PSE lesson on Canadian school-life,
English Assisted Language (EAL) tutoring, Form 3 Canada City career training event, Form 2 Canada English
Language Olympics, Form 1 Introduction to Canada programme, and an all-school Assembly with Vanguard
performances.
“I really liked how the Vanguard Students were passionate in
working with our students. They wished they could stay longer
and get to know our students better. Some even cried as they
were leaving,” expressed Jessica Choi, Deputy Head of The
English Department. It was a great time of teaching and
learning during Vanguard’s visit. We can’t wait until they come
next year! I want to thank the Vanguard students for coming
and visiting our school. In my four years of meeting these
students, all of their activities were very creative and fun! I
hope I can meet them next year!” said Yau Mei Lam, a student
in 4Y.

Macau Excursion Scheme
(11th March - 13th March)
Form 5 students enjoyed a very exciting and wonderful
Macau excursion between 11th March and 13th March. In
the excursion, students investigated the historic sites such as
the Ruins of St. Paul and the A-Ma Temple in the city of
Macau. They have gained great insights in the hybridization
amongst local, Portuguese and European cultures and
understood more on how historical sites are being protected
and transformed from an ordinary building to extraordinary
historical establishments.
Besides cultural study in the city with heavy Western
European taste, students also had great times with their
peers and classmates. They understood more with each other through building up team spirits and coordination
in the amazing race session on the second day of the excursion.
Though our excursion lasted for only 3 days, the joy, happiness and those amazing memories will last long and
inscribe into our secondary school lives.

10th anniversary celebrations - Fundraising Walkathon
(23rd March)
The 10th anniversary celebration activity of YMCA of Hong
Kong Christian College - Fundraising Walkathon came to a
successful close on Saturday 23rd March with over 200
walkers including students, parents, staff and their friends. All
donations will be used to support various capital improvement
projects.
Officiating at the opening ceremony of the Walkathon, Dr. Alice
Yuk, JP, School Supervisor first welcomed all guest, parents,
students and friends to the Walkathon. She expressed her
gratitude of the continuous support from the parents since the school established in 2003. She spoke of the
objective of walkathon is not only to raise funds, but also to unite the stakeholders of the school community. The
school will reach another success when parents, teachers and students “walk” through together as a team.
Mr. Anthony Li, JP, District Officer (Islands) of Home Affairs
Bureau, spoke next and said, “YHKCC has developed to become
an international style DSS school in order to meet the needs of
Hong Kong as an international finance centre and Asia world
city. I believe that the school will continue to fly and scale new
height.” Following the opening ceremony, Mr. Anthony Li, JP, Dr.
Alice Yuk, JP and Mr. Adrian Price, Principal pressed the starter
horns to kick start the walk and led the walkers to “march” to the
starting point.
The fundraising walk started at the school, then proceeded
around a trail loop in Shek Mun Kap. It is a safe and friendly trail
walk for people of all ages for the enjoyment of a uniquely tranquil and picturesque environment in Tung Chung.
The afternoon continued with inter-house cheerleading competitions and family barbecue to enhance the
communication between students, parents and teachers. The school campus was filled with the spectators and the
cheerleaders of the four houses: Morrison, Taylor, Williams and Chambers. They were fueled by the energy they
received from the crowd and dazzled the entire crowd. Taylor House won the Championship, Chambers House was
awarded the Best Costumes Award, the Best Chant Award went to Williams House and Morrison House.
We wish to thank all those who sponsored this event. The donations truly make a positive impact on the capital
improvement projects. We also wish to thank the parent volunteers who worked behind-the-scene on the day of the
event. In this 10th anniversary, it is great to continue to receive such a strong support and encouragement from
parents, students and the local community. The school will continue to strive to achieve its mission to provide a
quality international style education to the local and expatriate community.
