HS Yearbook 2018-19

FOREWORD 

Our mission is to cultivate learners with knowledge, skills, integrity and discernment, 

growing in love for God and service to humanity. 

CAIS can be best portrayed as a mosaic form of culture rather than that of a melting pot. Our stakeholders 

comprise from all races, nationalities and cultures. The Yearbook is our longstanding tradition of 

communicating and celebrating the diversity of students, parents, staff and learning culture within 

and outside the school. We endeavored to highlight a comprehensive overview of student life, and bestow 

perspectives regarding symbolic aspects of activities, friendships, expressions and jauntiness of success. 

Beneath such portraits lies the culmination and cultivation of character and behavior shaped by wisdom 

from God’s Word. 

This year, the theme of “Shine like stars” was employed to motivate the school community to be a positive 

influence for one another through words and deeds. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness 

of sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12: 3) As you 

turn the pages, I would like you to envisage the kind of stories that are being communicated by our students 

and the many memorable events. 

To our beloved grade 12 students who’ve been with us for many years, being nurtured in the values and 

teachings of Scripture will continue to shine like stars for Christ in this dark world. As we bring a closure to 

the school year, the yearbook team will continue to venture into new landscape of imagination, creativity and 

unfold the pandora box of myriad projects.

EDITORS’ NOTES 

The art of crafting a neon sign is one that requires great skill and dedication. In fact, it takes at least half a year to 

acquire these skills. In Hong Kong, neon lights are a unique part of the visual culture and aesthetic of the streets: 

the neon diffused into the flow of the cityscape. In the same manner, we wanted to put equal care and thought 

into capturing the essence of this year, the highlights. 

As upcoming graduates of CAIS 2019, and being involved in the yearbook for many years, this year as Editors in Chief, 

this project holds even more significance to the both of us. Each year holds its own challenges, and this year was certainly 

no different. As the school grows, we have had to adjust to many new additions including making the decision 

to divide the yearbook into two sections, communicating with more classes, and gathering photos, names, and writing 

was no easy task. 

We could not have done this without our amazing team of students and teachers who have sacrificed multiple hours 

every single week and share a willingness to learn and grow. In particular, Mr. Nadar, thank you for your heart for the 

yearbook and the students, and for believing in us. Mr. Nadar has been head teacher of the yearbook for many years 

and still strives to better the yearbook each year. A special shoutout to Laura Ciamei, who is not only our best but an 

amazing artist who has put in so much time and effort to design the yearbook and decorate the yearbook team page. 

To the editors of photography, writing, and layout, your leadership is appreciated and we wish you the best in the coming 

years. Lastly, to the next Editor-in-Chief, may you begin strong end strong. 

As you flip through these pages we hope you feel the same warmth and glow from the memories carefully encapsulated 

through the pictures, the design, and the words. 

Through the little snap of a camera, click of a mouse, and lots of team effort you are now holding the highlights of 2019.

NOTES FROM THE 

HEAD OF SCHOOL 

When we travel from one place to another, we plot a 

course. We consider our current position, identify the destination, 

and then determine the best way to get there. 

As it is for us individually, so too it is for a school. The ‘destination’ for the students of Christian 

Alliance International School is that they become “learners equipped with knowledge, skills, integrity and 

discernment, growing in love for God and service to humanity.” That is the mission of this school for your sons and 

daughters, the destination we journey towards. The mission statement sets out a purposeful destination, however, one that is not an 

end point in itself, rather, it is a destination always ahead of us. 

For me personally, our school mission statement is beautifully summed up in Luke 2:52. “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in 

favour with God and man.” Why would we not want our children to grow up in the same manner as our Lord Jesus did? 

At the heart of our mission statement is the idea of growth. We are “cultivating” learners to grow in wisdom and stature, and we desire 

to see them “grow” in their love to God and humanity. All of us seek to grow. Maybe it is to learn a new hobby, or a new sport. For some of 

us it is to grow through reading literature on topics of interest. Innately, none of us like to stagnate. We want to see our relationship with 

our children grow. Even where these relationships are strong we know that to stop growing is not beneficial in the long run. 

My prayer for the students at Christian Alliance International School is that they have a growth mindset. Not a mindset of perfection 

but one of progress. Progress toward a worthwhile destination. This is where the school mission statement sets out a beautiful and 

purposeful destination. Imagine a society where all its citizens are growing in knowledge, skills, integrity, discernment, and crucially 

growing in love for God and service to humanity. These are the characteristics of the students that Christian Alliance International School 

seeks by God’s grace to graduate each year. 

If Christian Alliance International School is to influence society for good then it must focus on cultivating the best students for Hong Kong. 

From preparatory to Grade 12 every teaching moment, every interaction we have with students, every chapel or assembly time must 

without fail point our students towards a purposeful destination. 

Our students need to see that an authentic Christian education has a goal in mind: to equip our students so that they grow in love towards 

God and in service to humanity. 

Jesus Christ summed this up beautifully in Matthew 22:37-39 where he said “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all 

your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself.” 

It is my prayer and hope that our students, your sons and daughters leave, Christian Alliance International School fully equipped to serve 

God and their neighbor. 

Mr. Richard Vanderpyl 

DR. CORA HUI 

Principal 

Our mission is to cultivate learners with knowledge, skills, integrity and discernment, growing in love 

for God and service to humanity. 

As I consider the School’s mission statement, I am very much inspired by it. I love the fact that the 

School’s mission statement openly declares that it is cultivating learners, and I see it in action every 

day. CAIS is obviously a place where teaching and learning is going on, but these words show that CAIS 

is being intentional about the main activity that happens as a result of its programs- the cultivation 

of learners. What are we cultivating our CAIS learners with? Knowledge & skills - just what we would 

expect to see in a school, & indeed they are easily seen at CAIS, from Preparatory to Grade 12. These 

elements help students move from one level to the next academically, within and beyond CAIS. I am 

also very encouraged that this cultivation is not limited to students, but rather is purposely extended to 

teachers, support staff, and parents- all members of the CAIS community. We want the world to know 

that every member of our community is a learner! 

Another thing that makes CAIS unique is our desire and efforts to go beyond a focus on knowledge 

and skills - something that drives so many other schools - to the intentional cultivation of integrity 

and discernment. The purposeful addressing of issues that affect our community members’ character, 

morality and honesty, while simultaneously helping our learners to be discerning, to have the wisdom 

to make sound decisions, to perceive between virtue and vice, even between what is good and what is 

better. We do this through a variety of means, such as daily devotions, CE classes and chapels where 

we learn about and discuss the character of God and His love for us. We deliberately include other 

events, such as Gospel camps, Spiritual Emphasis Days and Spiritual Emphasis Week, which allow 

us to go into greater depth on many important topics and foundational issues. All of these activities, 

combined together, help to produce integrity and discernment in our CAIS community members. 

Finally, the last part of the mission statement says, “growing in love for God and service to humanity.” 

As we intentionally cultivate learners with knowledge, skills, integrity and discernment, something else 

happens. When cultivation takes place, fruit is a natural end result. So, just as in nature, the cultivation 

process that we undertake at CAIS also produces fruit, with the main one being a love for God. When 

we love God, we seek to please God, and this love for Him results in the desire to serve others. At CAIS, 

this desire to serve others manifests through various service opportunities, like chapel, worship team, 

social justice, GID and more, and in the future, I hope that we will be able to add many other avenues 

for CAIS students to show their love for God through serving others. 

I have stayed at CAIS these many years because for me, it’s a real blessing each year to see our 

students growing older and gaining more knowledge, while at the same time, developing a solid 

character, understanding and loving God, and desiring to step outside of themselves and serve others. 

May God continue to bless CAIS for many years to come! 

The apostle Paul launched multiple missionary journeys, planted many churches, 

mentored several spiritual leaders, and wrote most of the letters recorded in the 

New Testament. We can surely learn “ONE THING” from him. 

Do you admire Paul’s curriculum vitae (CV)? Paul said, “If anyone else thinks he 

has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth 

day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in 

regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic 

righteousness, faultless” (Philippians 3: 4b-6). Furthermore, Paul stated that he 

was a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Under Gamaliel, a 

greatly esteemed teacher by all Jews, Paul was thoroughly trained in the law and 

was zealous for God (Acts 22). Wow, isn’t that stunning! 

Have you ever used the phrase — forgetting what is behind and straining toward 

what is ahead — to encourage someone who goes through setback? This phrase 

is taken from Paul’s letter to the Philippians, which connects to his listing of 

glamorous successes above. It is not about his friends or him facing failure and 

needing words of comfort. To our surprise, Paul likened his wealth of knowledge, 

experiences and established credentials to rubbish (Philippians 3: 7-11). Yikes! 

“But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I 

press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward 

in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3: 13b-14). That is Paul’s work ethic and his worldview 

of ministry. Paul knew where he was heading and why it was a worthwhile pursuit. 

He strived and thrived along his journey. He did not dwell on his past but looked 

ahead for growth and new opportunities. A grittier plodder! 

This is the ONE THING we can learn from Paul’s life of resilience. Let’s embrace 

a growth mindset and fix our eyes on the author and perfection of our faith. Be 

salt and light! Be faithful and fruitful. Be a Christ-like servant leader. This is what 

counts: May our study, work, relationships, families, school and everything else 

bring honour and glory to God!

DR. RICHARD LEE 

Principal 

I am very honoured and grateful to join the CAIS community this year. Time flies. I 

have been with this large family of over 100 teachers and around 1,400 students 

for almost ten months. When I walk to the school every day, I always meditate the 

picture of countless Lord’s blessings and human interactions happening in this 

huge, artistically curved and modernized building. 

In the first week of orientation, we were reminded by Dr. Cora Hui about the 

school’s mission statement. The mission statement reminds us the purpose of 

working in this place: cultivating learners for God and humanity! In that week, 

I meditated frequently how to help our lovely students equip knowledge, skills, 

integrity and discernment (abbrev. KIDS). These thoughts appear constantly in 

my mind in the last ten months. 

My main responsibilities are on the strategic and administrative work for the school. 

I meet various stakeholders, including school managers, school administrators, 

teachers, students, parents, staff, and government officials. I enjoy collaborations 

with a mixed group of people to achieve some goals. Each person I interact is 

unique with his/her KIDS. The chemistry in the interactions enlighten and inspire 

me new working knowledge and people skills. I have to make plenty of strategic 

and working decisions to help the school grow in God’s will and for the benefit 

of the society. These decisions always demand my discernment and integrity in 

balancing flexibilities and limitations. Overall speaking, my daily work acts as a 

powerful tool to help me strengthen my KIDS in breath and in depth. 

As a senior leader in the school, I visualize and plan what the school will be in a 

medium and long term. I always have two principles in my mind: growing in love 

for God and service to humanity. I truly believe if our educational plans are not 

able to help our students to be closer to God or to serve mankind, these plans 

are futile. How precious these two principles are! I firmly assure that our work is 

highly valued by our God and He will continue to bless CAIS to become a glorifying 

lighthouse in this city. 

Lastly, I would like to use the bible verse to encourage ourselves: Love the Lord 

your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and 

with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27)

Class of 2019

5 years in CAIS might not seem like a long time but 

I am delighted to row into the person I am today. I 

would like to thank Mammi and Daddy who have 

continuously provided me with a happy learning environment! 

Mr. Jong, Mr. Fong and Mr. Schick, thank 

you for the encouragements. Megan and David, 

thanks for being my fam. To Diane, Denise, Kia, Trevor, 

Danny, Carlos and Jo, thank you for all the amazing 

memories. Sarah and Izzy, thanks for being my 

moral compasses. Laura, I’m looking forward to see 

you grow confidently as a woman and thanks for 

being so loving. To Courtney and Tiron, I’ve missed 

you guys so much and I still do. To everyone else 

who holds a special place in my heart, no matter 

where we are now, I’m forever grateful. To the class 

of 2019, we did it! I love you all so much, I’ll never 

forget you. 

First of all, I’d like to thank my mum and dad with all 

my heart for everything they have done for me, for 

their endless and love and support and giving your 

all to make sure I’m happy. Words cannot express 

how much I love you including my siblings of course 

Nat and Matt. My friends Court, Kia, Den, Lau, Sam, 

Char we’ve all been through so much and have 

never failed to put a smile on each other’s faces 

including Trevor, the Aesthetic boys. And, of course 

I’d like to thank my teachers, coaches Mr.Fong, Mr. 

Jong, Mr. Schick, Mr. Leoppky, Mr. Nadar for always 

believing and elping me enhance my capabilities. 

To the U20 Football team, without our beast goalie 

(Matilda) we wouldn’t be as scary on the field as we 

have been for the last years. The U20 girls’ volleyball 

team, this team was filled with so much joy and love, 

I love and dig every single one of you. Last, but not 

least I’d like to thank God for everything that he’s 

blessed me with. It has been a great 6 years of a 

roller coaster ride with CAIS. 

“Learning to love others begins with learning to love 

ourselves unconditionally first.” - Anita Moorjani 

“There are all these moments you think you won’t 

survive, and then you survive.” - David Levithan 

This is it, my 10th year in CAIS. It has been a long, 

bumpy journey starting from 3rd grade all the way 

to the 12th and I am truly grateful to be a part of 

this community. I thank God for blessing me with 

my family who has helped me in times of troubles 

and difficulties, and who has helped me grow into 

the person in who I am today. Ate, thank you for 

being the best older sibling anyone could ask for 

who’s loving, patient and selfless. To the “Aesthetic 

Bros” thank you for the fun year. To Hou Yin, thank 

you for everything you’ve done for me. To Mr. Fong, 

*awkard silence* To Mr. Jong, thank you for noticing 

my new shoes. To Mr. Schick, thank you for being the 

best coach and Matilda, for biting me. To my friends, 

Danielle, Kiora, Laura, Samantha, Charmaine and 

Trevor, thank you for all the laughter, tears, and for 

making my life a little more interesting. To everyone 

else, thank you for being a part of my life. To more 

years of learning! 

I’ve never felt quite at home in this school. Maybe it’s 

just me but who knows. It’s the end of this part of our 

lives anyways. We all move on. Before these years 

fade off into a distant memory, I would like to thank 

Ms Ma and Ms Lapp for being my mentors in life 

and guiding me through tough times. Even though 

at times it’s hard to find the right words. Mr Schick 

for being my target to overcome in the (hopefully) 

near future and being there to support me on my 

journey in discovering the wonders of English. All of 

the people that I’ve grown to know and talk to, I wish 

you all the very best in life and I would be praying for 

you as long as I remember you. Goodbye.

frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is 

with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9

all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up 

with people that make you feel all alone.”

I want to thank God, my parents and my friends for 

the past 9 years in CAIS. I have been through a lot 

during these 9 years and it has made me who I am 

today. I am very thankful for all my friends because 

spending time with you guys makes me very happy. 

I am also very thankful for my parents because even 

though I am very lazy, they still support me and love 

me so much! Finally, I need to thank God because 

he has changed me and made me who I am today. 

Without him I am nothing and without him I would 

not have a purpose in life. 

Although it has come to an end, I’ve always wanted 

to say that i’ve enjoyed the past 6 years at CAIS. 

Let alone meeting a lot of amazing people, I have 

made a lot of unforgettable friends.I want to firstly 

thank you all for accepting me as a classmate and 

a friend of yours. I am grateful to the ones who stuck 

around during my ups and downs. Secondly I want 

to thank Ms.Yeung, Mr. Campbell and Mr Fong, 

the teachers that I’ve looked up to for the past 

few years. Despite how unorganized or annoying I 

could be, your jokes and chattering always brought 

me to laughter. I want to thank the OG Aesthetic 

gang for giving me all the fun memories we had 

when we were gyming together, pulling pranks and 

doing really questionable activities. I’m glad we 

are treating each other like the closest bros and 

hopefully these connections would never break off. 

Most importantly, I need to thank my parents for 

working their butts off to raise me and providing me 

emotional support. Lastly, I have to thank God that 

he has blessed me with this opportunity to be here 

at this school. 

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power 

and love and self-control.” - 2 Timothy 1:7 

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or 

terrified because of them, for the LORD your God 

goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake 

you.” - Deuteronomy 31:6 

021 

At my height of 5ft, the world might just be too 

big. CAIS’ small, tight-knit community has not only 

embraced my 5ft with warmth but has also nurtured 

what little I had to offer. In all this, it truly was only 

through and by God that I am able to do what I 

do: God, thank you for being my cornerstone. 媽咪 , 

thank you for reminding me of my purpose and for 

being my strength. vv, thank you for pushing me to 

my potential; Bethany, for your irreplaceable humor 

and understanding, Aless, for being ever-present. 

Lauren, Laura, and Michelle, thank you for keeping 

my heart and stomach full, always. Sarah, for being 

brilliant and loving, Cloudy for your kindness and 

acceptance, and David for being a brother. 

Teachers ---- Ms.Ma and Mr.Campbell, your wisdom 

and encouragement has been and is invaluable. 

Mr.Fong and Mr.Jong, thank you for believing in all 

that I am and can be. To all the students and staff 

who have given me the opportunity to learn, grow, 

and serve, thank you. 

Farewell CAIS, the last decade has been truly, truly 

beautiful. Now, I leave with confidence knowing 

that I am 5ft and more. Bye felicia! 

“A little consideration, a little thought for others, 

makes all the difference.” - Eeyore (Winnie the 

Pooh) 

Time really flies without you ever realizing. My 13 

years in CAIS have been full of ups and downs. I want 

to begin by thanking my family,for all your support 

and love. Next, I will be thanking some people and 

teachers for my time here. Firstly thanks Mr. Fong and 

Mr. Jong for joking around with me and enjoying my 

random comments, Laura, Lauren, Izzy, Charmaine, 

and Sarah, thanks for being kind and helpful to me, 

letting me joke and have fun sometimes, although 

I can be annoying sometimes. Isaiah, thanks for 

being a very close friend. Terri, thanks for helping 

me feel confident about myself, Hino, although we 

may not have had the best relationship, it was nice 

knowing you for 13 years. Victoria, thanks forhelping 

me emotionally and in my walk with God. And 

lastly, thank God for everything He did in my life. To 

everyone I met in CAIS, I want to thank you for being 

part of my journey, I’ll never forget you. 

“You can overcome anything, if and only if you 

love something enough”- Lionel Messi 

022

Above all, God and my family. Mamma e papi, 

grazie per tutti i sacrifici e per avermi insegnato 

a vivere la vita con compassione, intelligenza e 

ammirazione. Paolo, thanks for being the most 

wonderful boy in the world, I’ll miss you most. E zia, 

la mia anima gemella, grazie per essermi sempre 

affianco. Vi amo tanto. Bella and Lauren, you are 

my greatest blessings, I will eternally love and “protec” 

you. To my 6 crazies, Charmaine, Kia, Dani, 

Court, Dennis, and Sam, you’ve filled my days with 

laughter and irreplaceable memories that made 

life worth living, I will always love all of you. Sarah 

for your genuine love and the immense joy you 

give me. Matty for being a real keeper. Rachel

Thank you friends for making me laugh. Thank 

you family. Amen 

Throughout the two years, I had a lot of bittersweet 

memories, ups and downs, always struggled in 

academics. Never really fit in with my grade. Aside 

from the negatives, thank you Miss Yueng, Mr Kwok, 

Mr Ward for giving me those touching life talks. 

Thank you Mr Best for always giving me cheerful 

smiles and jokes to brighten my year. Thank you Mr 

Campbell for being so patient teaching me Chem 

and Physics. Huge thank you Laura for inviting me to 

your “squad” on my first day, and introducing me to 

Deer. Thank you Roy Tam being there for me when 

I hit rock bottom, driving from Tsing Yi to Kowloon 

Tong at 11pm just to hear me out. Thank you Deer, 

Chris OY, Carley Lee, Samuel Wong for being here 

for me 24/7, those deep talks at TST pier. Lastly, thank 

you Ching for teaching me love. 

“I have a dream.” - Martin Luther King Junior 

“Leave the field with no regrets.” - Mr John Ward 

Time sure flies when assignments are always due next 

week. Nonetheless, my time at high school has been 

a pivotal life experience for self-discovery and mental 

growth. I would like to thank my parents and brother 

for being a wonderful support system throughout 

my times of stress to help me continuously strive 

for improvement. I am truly indebted to each and 

every one of the teachers that have facilitated my 

enrichment in knowledge throughout high school, 

especially all the English and Social Studies teachers 

over the years who have helped me develop a 

profound interest in literature and history. I am also 

grateful to all the friends I have met in high school 

with whom I can host discussions with from time to 

time, whether it be through some chatter or a bit 

of friendly banter. Graduating high school marks an 

important day in any student’s life — yet, it is merely 

just the beginning of a new journey. I look forward to 

this new chapter in life to pursue my ambitions and 

endeavor to leave a mark on this world. 

Thank God it’s over.

me to my full potential. To the person I love most, 

umma, I will be forever grateful for your selflessness 

and support. Danny, thank you for developing my 

patience and counselling skills, I’ll miss lecturing 

and babying you. Mattie for being the big bundle 

of energy that you are. Laura for your warmth and 

for being someone I can always go to. Bella and

Loeppky, for challenging me to act out my faith. 

Jong, for all the prayers and valuable advice. Mr.

Well, I guess it’s my turn to graduate. My 13 years 

in CAIS wasn’t always splendid, but it has been 

memorable, be it good or bad. First of all, I’d like 

to thank you mum and dad for the unwavering 

support you’ve given me throughout the countless 

years in school. It can be hard to deal with the 

menacing and tiresome tests, assignments and 

homework, but you’ve given me the capability to 

finish my work diligently through continuous and 

perpetual directions and discipline. I should also 

thank my incorrigible sister for helping me with some 

of my work, especially English. I’d also like to express 

my gratitude to Mr. Khiatani and Ms. Yeung for the 

aid and assistance they’ve rendered. It wouldn’t 

have been possible without you both. Furthermore, 

a special appreciation to all the mandarin teachers 

who’ve taught me, including Ms. Sophie Chen. Last 

but not least, I’d like to thank my friends for the times 

we’ve had together, especially during lunch where I 

could share my thoughts about the issues regarding 

our contemporary world. Goodbye CAIS, I might not 

miss you. Maybe just a wee bit eh? Now it’s time to 

cepat jalan balik kampung lah!

trained; he can be disciplined.” - First Prime Minister

I love you Megan and Sarah. If I had to use one word 

to sum up highschool, it would be courage. It takes 

so much courage to survive in highschool. people 

are just rude, classes are hard, success requires you 

to take initiative. I am so thankful for my parents and 

my sister, 多謝家姐 , 爹哋媽咪 , for always supporting 

and encouraging me to chase my dreams around 

every corner of life. I love my friends so much, Kia, 

Diane, the boys, Denise, Charmaine, Sam Lau and 

Luk. They have comforted me whenever I needed 

it, showed love whenever I couldn’t love myself, 

knew me better when I didn’t know myself, they 

couldn’t promise me that I’ll be happy forever but 

they promised me that I will never feel alone. The 

things that I’m gonna miss most are the smallest 

moments, banters in freeblocks, conversations that 

get emotional real quick, I honestly don’t think I can 

ever get over the fact that I’m graduating and I 

will never get to relive it. But always remember that 

there will be way more tremendous things in the 

days coming than the days we leave behind. 

Thank you for your support!

I have found myself in these few years, learnt 

valuable lessons in life and being able to love self 

and others. I am beyond blessed to have all these 

amazing people in my life, who listens and deal with 

my craziness, aggressiveness, and mood swings. 

There are no words to express how thankful I am 

for my family. Mom, Dad thank you for being my 

best friend, always being here for me, loving me 

unconditionally. Grandma, Bro, Sis thank you for 

the love and support you’ve shown me, I love you 

so much. I have a love hate relationship with this 

school. 6 years of my life here in CAIS, lucky to be a 

part of this community, loved and protected. To the 

teachers who I look up to and could always rely on, 

Mr. Fong, Mr. Schick, Mr. Loeppky, Mr. Nadar, Ms So, 

thank you for your kindness, caring and goofy self, 

and always being so understanding. To my favourite 

people in school, Diane, Denise, Laura(ma), Kia, 

Jeffrey and the boys, I love you all.Thank you for your 

supportiveness and never failing to cheer me on. 

There are no other ways I would choose to spend 

my highschool years than here. 

As the years of my highschool life comes to an end, I 

would first like to thank God for always being there in 

every step of my way. Secondly, I would like to thank 

MOLBIES for all the joy and nerdiness we shared 

together. Beat, Michel, Jane, Rachel, and Nichole, I 

appreciate all the memories we had, and you guys 

have always been so considerate and loving despite 

my flaws. Jason, you are one crazy crazy man, but 

thank you for always filling me with your ceaseless 

positivity. Finally to my wonderful family: 엄마, 아빠, 

오빠! 여태까지 잘한거없이 말대꾸만하고 이기적이였던 

기억이 많아서 죄송하면서도 감싸주셔서 감사해요. 

어렵게 12특례라는 큰선물을 주신다고 홍콩에 남아서 

저의 안정을 우선시해주셔서 감사해요. I think through 

my past years in CAIS, many had made sacrifices 

in love and care for me, and I value all the kindness 

and mercy that was gifted to me when I did not 

deserve them. It breaks my heart to think that I will 

be drifting away from all these amazing people that 

God has placed in my life, but I pray for everyone’s 

peace and joy with the guidance of God. Thank 

you all for being a part of my chapter.

I would like to say that I am extremely grateful for this 

community that I got to know over the years and if 

I don’t mention everyone by name, blame it on the 

word count and know that I truly treasure everyone 

that God’s put in my life. Firstly, I would like to thank 

my PARENTS for playing such an important role in 

shaping me to be who I am today with their love 

and care. I want to thank Mattie for all the rewarding 

memories we made during high school. I would also 

like to thank all my “SIBLINGS”, “MUM”, KIBC SQUAD 

and ALL MY CLOSE FRIENDS AND BUDDIES for being 

there to support me and to scream at me when I do 

something stupid. Thank you to the WORSHIP TEAM, 

TECH TEAM, GID, SRC, SJC and the CLASS OF 2019 

for dealing with my loud voice for all these years and 

giving me the privilege to work alongside amazing 

talented members, leaders, teachers and mentors. 

Last but not least, huge thank you to GOD for giving 

me life to go by each day and to have such an 

awesome community to call home. Y’ALL WILL BE 

MISSED!!! #DingbitsYumYums 

The idea of using less than 200 words to write a 

summary about my life is just as daunting as writing 

a diploma personal response essay... only this time it 

will be read by the 1383+ students of CAIS. 

Firstly, I would like to thank God for placing me in 

this school, learning his word and growing in him. My 

family not only for paying the tuition and giving me a 

home but also staying with me through times of thick 

and thin and loving me no matter what. Teachers, 

thank you for being part of this wild journey, I literally 

couldn’t have done without you. Lunch Club 

Humans... what can I say? You guys had somehow 

single handedly made my life a lot less boring and 

made me a better person. To the class of 2019, you 

guys are truly amazing and I know we will all do 

great things. Last but not least, the unsung heroes 

of our generation: Spotify, Quizlet, Crash Course, 

Wikipedia, Google docs, my graphing calculator 

and citation machine...Thank you for making me a 

little smarter so I can get grades a little bit higher

So since I’m an idiot who can’t remember to put a blurb 

in until 5 am on the day after they were supposed to be 

due, here’s a blurb so I don’t get stuck with the default 

blurb I would otherwise get and thus look like a double 

idiot. 

I would like to thank everyone I have met at this school 

for turning me into the person I am today. I used to be 

the disgusting loner kid who had a penchant for nose 

picking and sleeping in class. Well, I’m still disgusting 

and I still sleep in class, but you get the point. My thanks 

especially go to Mr. Jansen from 6th grade, who made 

my transition to this school a particularly smooth one 

and helped me through a time where I was emotionally 

vulnerable, and to Noel Marcus, who I somehow was 

in the same class with for seven years straight and 

played the role of both encouraging me to work harder 

(primarily by getting far better grades than I do) and 

being the friend that you sometimes feel is getting a bit 

clingy but otherwise can’t get enough of. 

I’d say this moment in my life is like the fourth Friday 

the 13th movie, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. It 

may look like the final chapter, it may feel like the final 

chapter, but there are eight more flipping movies after 

this. 

Time does fly by doesn’t it? 12 years of spending time 

with the grade and watching people come and go 

really makes you reminisce about all the things that has 

happened. Thank you Mom and Dad for supporting my 

various endeavors and putting me in this school where 

I was able to experience and grow. Big thanks to Mr 

Ward, Doug, and Hamlett for being great mentors to me 

throughout my highschool life, whether it was helping me 

solve problems or just general conversations, the three of 

you have been instrumental to my growth at CAIS and 

being role models to live as. Tech team, it has been an 

honor and a privilege for me to lead you and serve with 

you. Continue to work and support Mr Hamlett and each 

other as you move forward. Worship team, it has been 

an honor for me to serve with you over the last few years, 

continue to grow in you service to others and to our God. 

Finally and most importantly I am grateful and thankful to 

God for providing me with the opportunity to come to this 

school to both grow and serve others in the community. 

To the Class of 2019 it has been a great couple of years 

with you and seeing the growth in everyone of us. As we 

leave high school an embark on the next journey, don’t 

fear the future as you are never alone in the wilderness.

What a phenomenal experience. In this school I’ve 

grown up alongside my beloved friends and dear 

family. Mom, though we have a history of conflict 

I know you really love me and Dad, we don’t talk 

much but I know you support me and will no matter 

what. Renata, please come back home I miss you 

so much and life sucks without you! 

Coming back to CAIS was like being welcomed back 

into home; I was embraced by the open arms of 

my friends (ALPHABETICAL ORDER) Beatrice, David, 

Jane, Jessie, Michelle, Nichole, while I developed 

unexpected new bonds with Kelly and Jason :) 

Thank you to Mr Fong for still being here despite his 

old age, and for always having my back. “b00ty” I 

love you guys 4ever and I truly cannot imagine my 

future without you. You rock my world! KIBC :)! Bella! 

Laura! Hagao! Sushi! 

Thanks to you every moment no matter how sucky 

has been truly wonderful, and they will continue 

to live on as precious memories in my heart. There 

were ups and downs, twists and turns, but now we 

are finally at the end- or perhaps, the beginning of 

something new! Good luck to all!

Man, this has been the greatest 12 years in CAIS. 

I would like to thank my family first for putting me 

here. Without their help and courage, all of this 

wouldn’t have happened and I would still be trying 

to find where I belong. I would like to thank the 

MAN up there for being with me throughout this 

whole journey, because wherever I go, you are 

always there to assist me. I want to thank my REAL 

G’s, AESTHETICS Brothers, you guys form a big part 

of my life. The times we be laughing till we burn 

10000 calories, then showing our muscles in front of 

the mirrors and y’know being ourselves in the most 

unique way. Jo, Carsun, Carlito, and Cloud Bei, 

you are my brothers, and I can never forget those 

memories we had together. I hope you all the best in 

the future. I would also like to thank the people that I 

got to know over the years, you mates have been so 

beautiful and lovely. Mr. Jong, Mr. Fong, Mrs L Chan 

and Mr Campbell, I am very glad to have you help 

me improve who I am today. Peace out, I’M FREE...

The past 7 years at CAIS has been quite the journey. 

Thank you to my parents who supported me through 

my struggles. And to my brother who will be taking 

my spot as a senior next year, good luck. I want 

to thank my friends who pulled me through these 

7 years, I am blessed to be able to know you all, I 

would name you all but there are too many of 

you. To all the teachers who had to put up with 

me sleeping in their classes, I apologize and thank 

you for all you have done for me. And a shoutout 

to my online friends that I have known for almost 5 

years, Dante and Ninfernist, we started out from the 

bottom of the rankings but made our way to the top 

together, I hope we get to meet each other one 

day. But most of all, I would like to thank God, I know 

that I have not been the greatest servant to Him but 

He has blessed me with a community of people that 

I have, I am unworthy of His grace but my everyday 

joy is powered by His love. 

Innumerable as the stars in the sky, so are my 

blessings: 

Mom and Dad, for giving more than I could ever 

deserve, 

Beatrice, Jane, Kelly, Nichole, Rachel, for being the 

best friends I could ever ask for, 

MOLBIES, for all the laughter and joy, 

guidance in the form of teachers and internet, 

peace in the strength of God, 

and lastly, the years i’ve spent at this school (perhaps 

this one is a blessing in disguise); 

for this I will always be grateful.

The older you get, the faster time seems to fly. Dad, 

Mom, thanks for loving and supporting me and my 

dreams through various ways. Nathan, thanks for 

being my best friend and always being there for me 

even though I get super stressed and emotional all 

the time. Jeffrey, thanks for your sense of humor and 

being able to both have fun together but also listen 

to each other when times are hard. “Berry”, thanks 

for always coming to find me during lunch when 

I’m usually sitting alone. It really means a lot to me. 

Nicole, thanks for introducing me to other animes 

and hate-watching other stuff with me. Doug, thanks 

for listening and giving me advice when I’m having 

trouble with my relationship with God. Hamlett, Raph, 

and the rest of the Tech Team, thanks for being like a 

second family to me. Yin, Hope, Shelby, and Thaovy, 

my Internet friends, although we haven’t talked or 

Skyped in forever, I hope we will be able to see each 

other one day. Lastly, thank you, God for loving me 

despite my flaws and putting all these amazing 

people in my life. Thank you for a great 7 years at 

CAIS. 

What a journey it had been in CAIS! Looking back 

from Grade 1 until now, I am very grateful to have 

walked thus far, through trials, tribulation, and all the 

memories that I will cherish all my life. Firstly, I want 

to thank with all my heart, God, because without 

Him, I do not think that this journey would have 

been possible at all. Weather it be in academics, or 

anything else, because it is His gift, and I will never 

forget to use what I have to glorify God, and spread 

His kingdom. Secondly, I would like to thank my 

Mom for her many pep talks, and emotional support 

throughout this journey. Without her, I do not know 

how I would have been able to nurture my passion. 

Because she would always encourage me to do 

what I love, and when I would stumble, she would 

always encourage me with spiritual guidance, and 

care, so that I won’t feel discouraged. Lastly I want to 

thank Mr.Khiatani. Thank you for your guidance, and 

your advice. I am very grateful for your contribution 

to my academic growth, and spiritual support, and 

do not know where I would be without you.

These 9 years in CAIS are like Jackson Pollock’s

to meet many wonderful people in my life. Thank

Thanks for the laughs and hilarious talks! Miku, thank 

you for always being there for me for 6 years and

advice and support; Mr Nadar for printing papers 

for me and the laughs in your psychology and CE 

class; Ms Wong for inspiring me to explore more in 

art; Mr Khiatani for the interesting talks about art and 

helping with the university applications. Thank you 

everyone for being part of these 9 years. So long, 

CAIS!

Looking back, my 8 years at CAIS seemed only to 

have lasted an instant. Each year has accelerated 

in its passing and will likely continue to do so from 

here on. I do not recall every detail, nor do I believe 

it was a journey of nothing but radiant jubilance. 

It was challenging and tiresome, but all done in 

preparation for what is to come. Considering the 

average lifespan of a modern human being, the 

end of high school is merely the end of a prologue; 

the main narrative is just beginning, and I cautiously 

look forward to what is to come. I want to thank Mr 

Khiatani for aiding in my various technical endeavors 

and Ms Yeung for bearing with my repetitive requests 

for proof-reading my personal statements. I also 

want to thank Mr Schick for burgeoning within me 

my newly found appreciation for literature; it was 

truly a blessed discovery. AR was a tiresome ordeal 

to suffer through each year, but it was still a useful 

exercise which practically enforced a need to 

experience new works, and looking back, I am glad 

it was a part of the curriculum.

Joy! School is officially out, therapy and selfcare is

am (questionably) grateful for it. I consider myself 

blessed to have had God with me, day to day, 

along with the most wonderful gals I could ask for. 

Eunz, Jessie, Mandy, Loren, Queenkle, Matty, thankyou 

for the laughs, the PUBG, the loveee. Molbies, 

I’ll cherish the lunch dates and boba runs you all 

made that much more special. So much gratitude 

to my teachers Campbell, Cheng, Nadar, and Ma, 

for I wouldn’t be the individual I am today without 

their devotion and support. 엄마, 아빠! 저를 이 비싼

you provided. Bubs, thankyou for being so weird 

with me, you’re a real one. Injurious and inglorious as 

highschool has been, still I appreciate the trials I was 

put through, and the triumphs I gained of it. Bye!

It’s normal to feel stress. Especially if you have three

physics test tomorrow, calculus and chem mastery 

quiz next week, socials assignment in three days 

and less than half way through an online course 

that expires in one month. If you are feeling too 

overwhelmed, its ok to take a break. Taking a break 

doesn’t mean that you are weak, it just reminds you 

that you are human too. I wish everyone in the Class 

of 2019, a promising and successful life in the future. 

I pray that no burden will block y’all from chasing 

after what your heart truly desires (ㆁᴗㆁ ). 

Anyway, thank you Farrah, Hyerin, Jane, Jessie,

especially freeriding me. 真心 thank you m(_ _)m.

Jessie tang 

Honestly, if you ask me what do I remember in high 

school, all I could say was being super unproductive 

and fooling around all the time. I’m glad to move on 

and can’t say that I will really miss this place because 

I wouldn’t come back for another day if I didn’t have 

to (jokes! maybe). But there’s a lot of stuff that I take 

for granted so if I come back crying one day, don’t 

be surprised. Thank you, family, friends, MOLBIES, and 

teachers for your guidance, endless laughter, and 

love. Like I can’t express how greatly appreciated 

and treasured you are in my heart because you 

have shaped me to who I am today and even further 

down the road. Also because without you, I literally 

couldn’t have graduated! Thereby, my thesis is to 

continue tackling you guys with hugs and affection 

as an expression of my love :D. And lastly, all praise 

to our Heavenly Father because all my life you have 

and will be faithful. 

Staying awake for 6 years’ worth of classes was 

not easy, neither was having to complete 3 Physics 

lab reports with multiple assessments coming up. 

Therefore, I would like to start off by thanking God for 

giving me strength when I had none. To my favorite 

person, 媽媽 , thank you for always encouraging me 

to pursue my passions. I will be eternally grateful for 

your love and patience. 爸爸 , you will forever be my 

role model and I cannot thank you enough for the 

sacrifices you’ve made for this family. Home is never 

complete without you. Farron, I apologize for being 

a bad sister. I love you to bits and there’s nothing 

I won’t do for you. Lok, my best friend for the past 

17 years, I can’t wait for us to make more memories 

together. Thank you to everyone in MOLBIE for 

helping me pass school and letting me freeride off 

you since grade 11. I will miss our time of intimacy 

during lunch. To the class of 2019, I wish you all a 

fruitful future and I look forward to seeing each one 

of you change the world with your own unique gifts. 

All the best.

have drama tests. And all my friends for loving me. 

and Samantha for hisoka! 

It only seems like yesterday was my first day of school 

in CAIS; where I put on my blue uniform and my hair 

was tied neatly into pigtails. I will never forget Mrs. 

Reeves’s compassion and kindness that allowed 

me to come to this school that taught me a lesson 

of love that I will never forget- though 13 years has 

passed. I am very grateful for Ms. Bailie; not only she 

taught me to read, but to have a loving heart and 

to find strength in our Father. I am also very thankful 

for my family that has always supported me and 

encouraged me to never give up. Thank you so 

much for loving me and guiding me when I am lost. 

My Chingus!! I will miss you guys and thank you for 

always sticking around with me. I love you guys very 

much and thank you for bringing so much joy into 

my life. Lastly, to whom I owe the most, God. Thank 

you so so much for giving me so much love in my 

life and the people around me that have showered 

me with love as well. Thank you, my heavenly Father, 

that has walked along by me and fill my cup when 

I am weak.

Firstly, I want to thank God for placing wonderful souls 

in my life, and my family, for loving and nurturing me 

unconditionally so that I became the person I am 

today. Thank you, Matthew, for taking such great 

care of me and never complaining even though I’m 

often spoiled and insecure. Thank you, Charmaine 

and David, for being my “lit” family and making 

my high school experience memorable. Thank you, 

Sarah, for being a kind listener whenever I open up 

to you, and Mattie, for always biting me hehe (I know 

that’s how you express your love). Thanks “Berry”, 

even though you’re really quiet, I love how real 

and genuine you are around your true friends. I will 

miss the chapel team, the late rehearsals, “morning 

voices” and our hyped worship sessions. Lastly, thank 

you class of 2019, for all the laughter and joy you 

brought into my life! Each one of you is so unique in 

your own way, and I wish you all the best. Now, I will 

be entering a new chapter of my life, but I will never 

forget these five amazing years at CAIS. 

It has truly been a journey filled with many stressful yet 

joyful days. Thank you God for giving me guidance 

and perseverance to push through the years of my 

high school life. Mom and dad, for providing me 

daily support and encouragement and giving me 

more than I could ask for through your hard work. 

Andrew and Brian, for showing me guidance in life 

and school through your experiences and giving 

me a daily dose of stupidity and laughters. Beatrice, 

Jane, Michelle, Kelly and Rachel for always being 

there for me and being the best friends I could ask 

for. MOLBIES, for the great laughters and panic 

modes I can ever imagine. (including free riding you 

guys. Thanks) The teachers, for your kindness and 

patience in guiding me through the years. Last but 

not least, the class of 2019 for all the laughter and 

fun you’ve brought into this chapter of my life! I wish 

you all the best for your future!

thanks firstly to God for his unending love, guidance, 

and his place for me in this school. To KIBC peeps, 

Thanks for always being so supportive, I am grateful 

for the small group and fellowship together. I’ll also 

like to thank and appreciate my 妈妈爸爸 and 姐姐 

for loving me and encouraging me on my decisions. 

Thanks for raising me well and constantly reminding 

me that God will provide for everything. To Fong, 

Campbell, and Ms. Yeung, doing all your schoolwork 

would’ve been a pain in the butt without your 

entertainment in class. Most importantly, I want to 

thank my AES bros for always being there, watching 

my back, keeping me fit, and shaping me into the 

cheerful person I am now. I will never forget about 

the OG bodybuilding days, where we worked out in 

class, doing tricep dips, and the endless pranks we 

attempted to pull off. To end this milestone with the 

class of 2019, I am extremely proud to say that God 

has done great things within each of us individually. 

GOOD LUCK :) 

For the past 10 years at CAIS I have experienced 

many memories that will last me a lifetime. I have 

met some of the best people that have played such 

a big part in my life. Thank you to my family, who 

have supported me through everything and have 

always had the best interests for me. Thank you Mom 

and Dad for encouraging me and sacrificing your 

time to help me when needed, and for Chenoa who 

always knew what to do when I didn’t. I also want 

to thank Diane, Lau, Denise, Sam and Charmaine 

for being there through the toughest times and sticking 

by me. Thank you for never failing to make me 

laugh and making me the person I am today. Thank 

you to Trevor as well even though you get on my 

nerves, and also thank you to the aesthetic boys. I 

want to thank Mr. Nadar for everything. Thank you 

to Mr. Fong, Mr. Jong and the volleyball team for the 

fun times we shared and for Matilda’s killer serves. 

Lastly, I want to thank us seniors. I couldn’t think of 

a better group of people to end this chapter of our 

lives with. I wish all of you the best with everything 

that is to come.

Throughout this school year, the class of 11A has been 

one that is energetic, humorous, and united! With a class full 

of a variety of unique people all with their own distinct stories 

and backgrounds, there is never a dull moment in 11A. With 

each event such as Fall Fest to dress-up days (and the class 

planning that comes with it), each event showcased our individuality 

and unity, making our class fun and diverse. It’s been 

a wonderful experience being in a class with variety of unique 

people with their own distinct stories and backgrounds from 

learning together to playing Mafia!

Not one word could fully describe 11B. As one of the most diverse classes ever existed in CAIS, it is 

a community made up of idiosyncratic and quirky characteristics, talents, and personalities. Here is 

the proof by contradiction: 

If 11B only consisted of ordinary people, then... 

Student wellbeing and community would not fall into the hands of Loren, Samantha, and Marko who 

held half the seats in the 23 rd SRC Executive team, 

Popsicle sticks would not come to life as an operational guillotine that lead the entire 11B French 

Revolution rebels to win 1 st place in both the Read-a-thon Dress Up and the Popsicle Stick Sculpture 

Contests, 

Elderly, children and younger CAIS students would not have smiles on their faces and anticipate the 

weekly visits lead by Daniel Lu, Dimitri, Jasper, Osborn, Gabriel and Loren from SJC, SSLC, and Peer 

Mentorship Club, 

Competition of solving Rubik’s Cube would not be as epic if Matilda, Jasper and Enoch did not 

represent the entire high school Grade 10-12 Division. (Also, they would not have more than 10 

different types of Rubik’s Cubes!), 

Interschool tournaments would not be as fun to cheer for and be as worth noting if athletes Danny, 

Dimitri, Enoch, Hino, Benjamin, Irwin, Marko, Esther, Matilda, and Loren were not on the courts and 

fields to demonstrate their sportsmanship and passion for basketball, soccer and volleyball, 

All girls clan—Denise, Sydnie, Charlotte and Ionie—would not sit together, not communicate between 

themselves using a language of their own, and not be able to turn in quality assessments despite 

being awfully quiet in class, 

Last-but-not-least Moses would not show his professional dance moves in his GID trip to the 

Philippines, and Martin would not face off with his splits rival Thomas Leung of 11A in Atrium 5 on a 

random school day. 

Since one contradiction would suffice in mathematics, the seven above all the more proved that 11B 

was neither ordinary nor boring. 11B was, is, and forever will be a S-P-E-C-I-A-L community who 

added spices and brought joy to the past 180 school days. As “God created mankind in his own 

image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27 NIV), 

11B showcased the multifaceted characteristics of God. CAIS is thankful for God’s blessings of 11B.

I still remember meeting the 10A class on orientation day. 

I had never taught these students before and so we were strangers 

to each other. That first day we broke the ice with some games, 

but we really got to know each other better in science class and 

during Fall Fest preparations. We may not have won the Fall Fest 

but we had a great time preparing our theme of being thankful for 

STARS! Our talent show themed performance was a big hit, with a 

Korean dance number, heavy metal Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and 

especially Jason’s flute solo to “My Heart Will Go On” that featured 

dancing girls Rose and Savannah. I can truly say that my class was 

full of star performers. Thanks Yasmine and Sophie being our class 

reps and keeping our performance on track! 

I enjoyed watching this class grow more mature throughout the year. 

Teamwork in the lab was observed as students shared chemistry 

results and took pictures of their cells and Cabomba (ka-BOMBba) 

plants. Our class also had many school leaders in SRC, GID, 

Chapel Team, SJC, Tech Team, and various sports teams. This class 

grew in responsibility, academics, social skills, and spiritual maturity. 

My hope and prayer for the future is that they will shine like stars 

for all eternity. As I leave this school and prepare to move on, I know 

that I will never forget these students who helped to make my last 

year such a great one. Thanks, 10A!

As the 10B homeroom teacher it has been my pleasure, to 

not only teach these students in Science but to also work and 

support such a fine group of individuals. The 10B Homeroom 

has had an amazing year and they continue to thrive in an 

environment that God has blessed us with. 

The great strength of this group is the strong relationships that 

have developed amongst each other. This has led to a healthy 

respect and appreciation for one another and it has enabled 

them to work very effectively throughout the year. The 10B 

students are a very determined and an extremely hard working 

group. I am confident this group of students will continue to 

strive to no end to achieve whatever they set their minds to in 

the final 2 years here at Christian Alliance International School 

On a personal note I have been encouraged by the relationships 

I have developed with these students over the course of the year. 

They have been warm, friendly and supportive of me and my 

teaching and I would love to be given the opportunity to teach 

them again in the following year. God has been truly wonderful 

in allowing me to teach these students.

This year, 9A has made some good memories together. Even while 

being the first year of Grade 9s to take the PATs, we were able to 

have some fun and build community. Some highlights include this 

year’s Fall Fest, where our homage to the school’s Vending Machines 

helped us win Second Place in the Grade 8-9 category. Mahir’s 

performance as the vending machine was unforgettable, along 

with all the jokes he made at teachers’ expenses (his homeroom 

teacher included). Through everyone’s diligence of reading during 

Readathon and Katie’s creative direction, our Lord of the Flies 

popsicle stick Pig’s Head won Third Place among the Grades 9-12 

Popsicle Stick Structures. Many were outside of our comfort zones 

when we had to read to younger kids as their Reading Buddy, but 

in the end, it was an enjoyable experience. There was also a valiant 

effort on everyone’s part to participate in the Readathon Class 

Dress-Up Day. My hope is that this year will only be the beginning 

of everyone’s desire to invest into the school community, and we will 

all be a greater support for each other as the years go on.

Dear 9B members: 

Once upon a time, we grew up on stories and the voices in which 

they were told. 

It was the story of Kino in The Pearl, who unearthed The Pearl of 

the World, yet forfeited his soul. 

It was Piggy in Lord of the Flies, who stood for justice not because 

he was strong, but “because what’s right’s right.” 

It was Feste in Twelfth Night who sang: “Journeys end in lovers 

meeting”—and Viola who found that there, the journey begins 

anew. 

And it was you, dear students, who reached into a black felt hat 

each day, selected a prompt, opened your mouths to speak, and 

found that you have stories and a voice with which to share them. 

You learned to start fires the old hard way; climbed skywards on a 

hempen rope; saw the world’s first photograph of a black hole. You 

cobbled together a Tower of Babel out of popsicle sticks— surely, 

there’s a metaphor in there somewhere? 

Since the first days of fall, you’ve been welcomed into my classroom 

with the smell of freshly-roasted, hand-ground, single origin 

coffee. 

Finally, we’ve arrived at summer. Is it the smell of the sea that 

awaits? 

It’s been a pleasure learning with you. Thanks for the stories. 

If you need coffee, my room’s always open. 

Cheers, 

Mr. Yee

This year in 8A, we’ve had many ups and downs. Some 

have left and others have come. It was a great year and 

many memories were made. There was a lot of learning, 

fun, laughter and smiles (not from me). Through all the 

school activities and events, our homeroom built friendships 

and bonds that will continue into the future. Many of us are 

apprehensive to change, but I’m excited for what is to come 

next year. In class, I always talk about students who may 

have the privilege of sitting in the “special seat” with me at 

the front of the class but my hope is that we all may have the 

privilege of sitting in a special seat with Him in heaven above. 

May we be able to step forward in faith, integrity and prayer 

with everything that we do. This was an unforgettable year 

for me. 

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility 

count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of 

you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests 

of others. - Philippians 2:3-4

This was a year of growth for us. Every one of us were hand-picked by 

God, to create this team of unique players that grew to become not just 

a strong independent individual, but also caring members of a community. 

We had many opportunities to get to know one another, create 

sense of community and learn to work together in harmony. Some of us 

grew up together at CAIS, some newly joined this year, and some may 

have even left us – but it’s been a year that deserves celebration in the 

fact that we successfully created a supportive, learning community. 

In class, we studied about how our experiences, as well as experiences 

of those before us, affect the way we view the world. Through various 

school and class activities, we grew to become mature thinkers and 

learners. 

As a team, we came up with can-sliding booth for carnival, that had the 

most customers in the whole school. Together we managed to all come 

in dressed up as a Disney character for Readathon, not to mention the 

Cinderella castle we built using popsicle sticks that fitted our theme! 

Some of us had creative ways to upcycle materials that otherwise 

would have been wasted, and turned it into a realistic costume. We 

also received cheers and applause from the class skit we created and 

performed during camp. All of these memories made our days as grade 

8 memorable, unique, and cherishable. 

As we move up another year, I pray that God will show each and every 

one of you the great plans He has written for you from the very beginning 

of your life. Thank you for being my students, and I will miss having 

you all in Room 310!

What a wonderful year it’s been with you Grade 8C! You have 

grown and progressed both personally and academically and I 

am so very proud to have been your homeroom teacher! Getting 

to know one another was a slow start, but through mutual 

listening and understanding we have become family and 

for this, I am so inspired and grateful! Thank you for all the 

laughter and smiles we have shared together, I will cherish 

this always! In the words of Mahatma Gandhi: “The fragrance 

always stays on the hands that give the rose.” Remember to 

be the one who extends a helping hand and limitless kindness, 

the one who is selfless and the one who pursues the best in 

life. Continue to strive for excellence! May the LORD bless you 

and keep you in the palm of his hand, may he enlarge your 

territory, provide for you and protect each one of you always.

It has been a privilege to be 8D’s homeroom and science 

teacher this year. 8D is characterised by creativity and a 

‘refusing to give up’ attitude. This was evident when our 

class came up with the idea of building a dunk tank from 

scratch (when no one would believe a grade 8 class could 

follow through with such a crazy idea!) for the carnival. With 

less than 72 hours to go, the design still being discussed and 

the building materials still nowhere to be seen, 8D managed 

to pull off this monumental task. And the dunk tank lasted 

till the very end of the carnival! This determined outlook and 

commitment to team work has set the tone for 8D. It has 

been my joy to see 8D grow together! May the zeal and 

passion of these young men and women continue to flourish 

in the years to come.

The 7B’s spent the year building lasting friendships and 

enjoying the learning process. There was never a dull day in 

the class; from jokes to humor to funny events happening on 

a daily basis! They worked hard and grew spiritually, mentally, 

emotionally and physically. The class bonded over SRC 

events, Gospel Camp, and the countless academic tests that 

they took together as a class.

It has been an incredible journey and an honour to watch this 

class grow. We’ve spent almost 180 days together. It seems 

like only yesterday, I was introducing myself and trying to 

figure out which one is Caleb and the other one Caden. I still 

mess it up. 7C has worked extremely hard and have made 

so much great progress this year. We have shared a lot of 

laughs and had tremendous fun, but now our year is done. 

It is evident this class loves school and enjoys learning. They 

always took pride in their work. I am always amazed of how 

attentive this class can be during lessons and at the same 

time bring so much fun and positive energy to classes each 

day. This class is the reason why teaching is the greatest job 

in the world. Few words of wisdom to this class… 

Throw that rubik’s cube away immediately and do what the 

Lord has required of you; to act justly and to love mercy and 

to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 

You are special, unique, and have a lot to offer the world. 

Keep up the great work!

In 2018/2019, there are actually a lot that happened in these days. 

G7 has a gospel camp, D’Day, etc. We (7E) even have a “mum” 

in our class. We usually go out to eat lunch. We are enthusiastic, 

yet sometimes, can be loud and silly, acting like monkeys. However, 

we do respect our teachers and we are thankful to them. All 

the teachers work very hard for us. Most of the students in our 

class are friendly. We could laugh together every day. We share our 

happiness and sadness. No matter what we are always there for 

each other. We made a lot of memories together and it’s all about 

happiness. Thank you 7E!

CEREMONY 

‘If plows under his Iowa cornfield to build a baseball field that brings back Shoeless Joe Jackson and other major league 

you build it, they will come’ is a classic statement from the 1989 movie, ‘Field of dreams’. It’s based on the novel, Shoeless 

Joe, by W. P. Kinsella which Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his corn field telling him about the above said statement. He then 

baseball players of the Chicago White Sox were banned for throwing the 1919 World Series. Similarly, CAIS received the calling to 

build an International School 10 years back on Friday afternoon to RMC Chairman, Clarence Cheung, and thus on May 4, 2019, we 

entered the second phase of the building project. Phase II Campus will comprise of space for performing arts and sport activities 

that will enrich the lifestyle and learning experience of students, staff and the local community. 

The ground breaking ceremony was held on Saturday, May 4, 2019 in the carpark area of the Butterfly Valley campus. CAIS 

student and staff choir began the morning event with a beautiful rendition of ‘Million dreams’ from the movie, ‘The Greatest 

Showman’. Staff and Assistant to the Principal, Mr. Schick and Sarah Jeong, grade 12 student were the Master of ceremony. The 

guest of honor was the Consul General of Canada, Hong Kong, and Macau, Mr. Jeff Nankivell. Providentially, Sarah also received 

the ‘Spirit of Canada’ award from Mr. Nankivell in 2018. Mr. Vanderpyl, the Head of School, gave welcome address on the role 

of CAIS as place of transformation of heart and mind. Since phase 2 will encompass a bigger auditorium and facilities related to 

fine arts, there will be flourishing of creativity and development of talents among students for the glory of God. Jeff Nankivell also 

promoted the vision of the social entrepreneurial role of CAIS in being able to serve the community as well as develop students 

with ethical character. RMC chairman, Martin Lau spoke about the investment being made in CAIS and the kind of returns that 

are expected in spite of adversity. Finally, Rev. Wilson Chow spoke of the historical involvement of KTAC’s (Kowloon Tong Alliance 

Church) involvement in the field of education. He exhorted about the interdependence between the Church and school, as well as 

the principle of working together in partnership. The afternoon closed with prayer followed by light snacks.

CARNIVAL 

This year’s Thanksgiving Carnival on October 6th, 2018 was an astounding success 

with fantastic entertainment, crafts, and delicacies for all to enjoy. This community 

event is an annual favorite of students, parents, teachers, and faculty as a wonderful way 

to enjoy family time while supporting the school. Carnival games, crafts, and delicious 

food all added to the festivities, leaving everyone smiling and entertained. An event of 

this magnitude is not possible without the hard-work of many involved. We would like to 

give a very special acknowledgement to all the volunteers, parents, the 22nd SRC, for 

their innovative booths and hard-work that realized the carnival.

The Terry Fox Run Hong Kong aims to continue Terry Fox’s “Marathon of Hope” and keep his 

aspiration of a cancer-free world alive. Since its Hong Kong debut in 2013, the Terry Fox Run has 

become one of the key charity events for both Canadians and locals in Hong Kong. 

The Terry Fox Run is completely volunteer-organized, with no budget for expenses. All proceeds from 

the event go towards supporting cure-oriented, biomedical cancer research in Hong Kong. The event is 

a 3 km, 5 km or 10 km run. 

This year parents, staff, and students of CAIS participated in this race to support a great cause, have 

fun, and getting fit!

Gospel Camp 

The annual gospel camp allowed a time for students to relax from their 

intense school work and to strengthen their relationship with God, whilst 

they reflect upon their Christian faith. It is a great opportunity for students 

to learn Christianity more freely through God’s words from the speakers, a lot 

of students had also opened their hearts and allowed God to fulfill their lives; 

some recommitted their lives to God during the calling. 

Students also had a chance to participate in a variety of minigames and activities 

held by the YMCA organization and the SRC; it enhanced their communication 

and cooperation skills, and left students with unforgettable experiences 

throughout the camp. The yearly balloon shaving, tug-of-war, catapult water 

balloon wars as well as a variety of engaging sports, such as capture the flag 

and ultimate frisbee competitions between different houses.

TUNG LUNG ISLAND 

Grade 10 PE Field Trip 

“My arms didn’t thank me after this.” Sophie Chen 

On the Tung Lung island trip, grade 10 students shared an 

unforgettable experience as they conquered a lot of challenges 

not normally encountered in an ordinary classroom setting. 

Under the blazing sun, the grade 10s accomplished different missions 

and activities on the island in teams. The various tasks pushed 

students to encourage one another and learn cooperation amongst 

people they may not be the most familiar with. One of the most 

memorable activities was the pier jump, in which nearly the entire 

class, conquered their acrophobia, jumped into the ocean and blissfully 

floated in the ocean after a long hot day.

The annual Readathon provides our 

school’s bibliophiles with captivating 

imagery, and chances to allocate creativity 

and to stimulate our literacy skills. The theme this 

year was “Building Novel Ideas”, and everyone built 

different objects with designated popsicle sticks 

that were redeemed with AR points. As per usual, 

there were several events that concurrently occurred, 

which include the class and individual dress-up days, 

fundraising, as well as book swap. 

Readathon wrapped up with multitudinous schematics 

of enthralling architectures. Ranging from The Lord of the 

Flies, a sculpture of a dragon, fully functioning guillotine, to 

Castle of Pennsylvania and a colourful gigantic surfboard. 

Students also rigorously participated in the book swap, 

and it was an inopportune moment for everyone to gain 

access to the sea of uncharted books to further enrich 

our knowledge and arouse our interest in reading.

STEM WEEK 

Stem-week is a week for students at CAIS to come together and appreciate the great minds of 

science and math in human history. The Science and Math department presented a 

fascinating week demonstrating how Christianity and science are compatible 

with one another using morning devotions, lunch time activities, and week-long 

competitions, as well as decorating the school with fun factoids. CAIS also 

hosted its first ever Rubik’s cube competition in SCI-PI week and 

its first ever winner was Ho Kit Kwan in Grade 7A! Other 

events include a Fermi-Estimation competition 

where students were able to surmise the 

total sum of height and weight of all Math and 

Science Team teachers without the employment of any 

measuring tools besides the most valuable asset of all: their 

brain!

Grades 9-12 participated in this year’s annual sports day which was a step 

out of the confinements of the classroom that fostered stronger relations 

with each other while promoting personal well-being. This year’s sports day 

was hosted in the school’s newly erected gymnasium and was operated smoothly 

through the efforts of different staff members and teachers. The event was

organized so that students could endeavour competing different exciting sports 

such as volleyball, handball, ultimate frisbee, dodgeball, badminton, soccer, and full 

court basketball games. This event encouraged team bonding and communication 

between team members and entrenched good sportsmanship and developed a 

sense of understanding towards God. 

131

This memorable fiercely sunny day of sports invoked the Grade 7 and 8 students’ 

sense of collectiveness and sportsmanship in God. The students were dressed 

in diverse colors and gathered together to represent their house in a variety 

of competitions. They competed and triumphed against each other in soccer, 

basketball and ultimate frisbee in Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground. The competition

throughout the day was filled with nervous intensity as everyone performed their 

best for their house, giving it their all and cooperatively, strenuously attempted to 

attain the champion spot. Though not every team returned with ribbons on their 

shirts, everyone proudly glowed with rosy sunburns! 

133 

134

Students had the opportunity to gather and commune with one 

another and reconnect spiritually with God. There were special 

morning devotions held in the student’s advisory groups where 

everyone had the chance to develop intimate relationships with God 

and one another, learning to discern between walking wisely with God 

and the deviant path. The GID students also provided special activities 

and prayer spaces for students to spend time reflecting with God and 

praying over world issues and our school community. 

The week ended with a large chapel as a closure. Every student went to 

the gymnasium to have a time of worship and to listen to God’s words. 

With students praying and having deep reflections regarding their 

spiritual lives, a solemn atmosphere was built within the gymnasium, 

where God has unveiled himself and spiritually supported the students. 

The Holy Spirit has reached some of the students and they committed 

to God on that day. Praise God!

From gorging up rocks, to walking into the ocean along a 

conga line, Fun Adventure 2019 was simply, fun! On the 

first day students greatly enjoyed a relaxing hike whilst 

blasting music from their speakers and singing along. The 

fun adventurers learned to set up tents and really became 

one with nature as they ran around in seemingly revolting 

mud mixed of the wetlands for a game of Capture the Flag. 

Another game student enjoyed was trust building games on 

a kayak: the two partners are required to simultaneously 

stand up for as long as possible, without capsizing. The 

group also took part in a form of beach Olympic Games, 

learning basic survival skills. 

“The view there was nothing short of perfection; mountains 

on one side and the wetlands on the other, filled with water 

buffalos and toads!” - Aqmar Zaman 11A

“We spent the week learning about the rapid advancement 

of technology in our world. We explored the convoluted 

intricacies of 3D printing and the basics of programming by 

coding, designing, and building an autonomous car using a 

MicroBit. At the end of the week, everyone one of us had a 

car, completed with 3D printed components, which we got 

to showcase by moving it through an obstacle course.”

Art Appreciation allowed students to really get a chance to make 

a variety of artwork: pottery making, leather crats, Boston graffiti 

art and Chinese paintings. Throughout the trip, we were also 

allocated with the opportunity to visit the Hong Kong Arts Centre 

where we learnt how artists commonly express their stories 

through their concocted stories. Overall, the trip was enjoyable 

and gave a new perspective on the different arts we got to make, 

which we got to experience with our fellow friends!

The Programming Discovery Days course was fun, practical and 

useful. We had a group of about 20 students. Individually, they 

built their own web poster or website, and a web-based computer 

game – “burger maker”. They all started the project from 

scratch. Almost all of they did not know any computer programming 

language before. However, after these days, all of them, 

not only had learn three commonly used computer languages 

(HTML, Java and CSS) but also created their own personalized 

computer game. 

Every student was working at their own pace but received advice 

and support from a teaching instructor and a CAIS teacher. The 

project came with a user-friendly interface which contained a 

lot of interactive resources, self-help tools and notes. Not all of 

the students were able to finish the project within the Discovery 

Day week. However, most of them had finished over 70% of it 

and continued to finish it at home. At the end, individual student 

had a lovely presentation about what they had learnt. I am very 

proud of them and wish the students continue to develop more 

programming skills for their future career.

Vincent Van Gogh once said, ‘Great things are not done by 

impulse, but a series of small things brought together and 

that’s exactly what the students did over the five days of their 

woodworking sessions at Makerbay workshop at Tsuen Wan. 

They started small and then surprised everyone with their 

amazing creations. The first day was spent in introducing them 

to working with cutting, sharpening and gluing tools, followed by 

a small hands-on project. The remaining four days were spent in 

creating an innovative wooden gaming structure; fun and easy to 

play. Students formed themselves into four different groups to 

brainstorm and design their product. They had to process every 

step in the construction of the game and develop a portfolio 

of infrastructures for future reference. The students under 

the guidance of the Youngmaker professional team designed 

their blueprint on paper, followed by a functional prototype and 

finally to build it. Meticulously working on the materials, taking 

accurate measurements, carrying out different checks, try-outs 

multiple times eventually led to the completion of their projects. 

On the last day, the students were proudly able to display their 

wooden games to the staff and guests at the centre and were 

highly commended for their hardwork.

From arts and crafts to cultivating musical talents; graffiti to volunteering 

at Crossroads, Beyond 5 Senses led students on a journey outside of 

their comfort zones to a plethora of new and fruitful experiences through 

a wide-range of activities. A memorable experience was Dialogue in the 

Dark, where students had a taste of what it feels like to live without one of 

their most relied senses: Sight. We often take the ability to see for granted, 

and forget the magnificent effects bestowed by our eyes. Besides this, 

through activities such as SpeedJam, graffiti, weaving, and embroidery, 

students got to put their imaginative minds and artistic talents to work, 

creating marvelous pieces of art and learning new instruments within 

hours. Aside from focusing on local experiences, on the final day, students 

were given the opportunity to experience the world beyond Hong Kong and 

give back to it at Crossroads through a simulation and volunteering. The 

simulation shone light upon the intricate and frustrating realities of poverty 

by allowing students to sample the conditions of those who are caught up 

in its clutches, and to serve in various sectors of the less fortunate with 

diverse skills. Overall, Beyond 5 Senses encouraged students to interpret 

their surroundings and to express themselves through their senses by 

introducing them to a myriad of engaging activities and new insights into the 

world around us.

Nerve to Serve allowed students to serve the school community again through 

assisting the teachers during the primary spiritual emphasis days. The first two 

days composed of fun trips outside school to experience what a world would be 

like deprived of senses, such as an escaping a room while also being blind. In 

accordance to this year’s theme, we spent the first two days of our discovery days 

redecorating large parts of the of the school with huge sheets of paper to act as 

trees and wild grass. There were also gigantic cutouts of themed animals in the 

Safari Journey – an additionally touch to the once bare gym. The most valuable 

experience was the chance to interact and watch the primary kids get really into 

it at the very last chapel. The feeling of them radiated in their energy, excitement 

and unity in their songs, whilst worshipping Jesus Christ will their peers surely 

gave everyone around them a chance to reflect on their own lives and alter their 

perspectives on children and service.

Beijing 

For the 

Beijing trip, we 

spent our first 2 days in a rural 

town, Miyun, where we climbed up the 

Simatai Great wall and tried different workshops. 

The Simatai Great wall is amazing in its view. Though it is not 

easy to climb up, it is still worth to do so as we can see the whole town 

when we arrived on the top of the tower. At night, it is even more amazing. 

There are lightings placed along the Great wall. After sunset, the lights were 

on and the Great Wall becomes a ‘fire dragon’, roaring along the mountains. 

After 2 days, we returned to Beijing city center and stayed in a traditional 

Siheyuan. We visited various alleys and experienced the old Beijing culture. 

The visit to the Nursery school and the Peking University also enable us to 

reflect on our opportunity to receive good education. It is also remarkable that 

in Beihai Park, we had a little morning workout with the locals. 

Beijing food is also amazing. We tried Peking duck of different styles and each 

style was so different yet so delicious. We also had a dumpling meal, and we 

realized that there was so many different stuffing that can be placed into a 

dumpling. Also, the traditional street foods are amazing. Every time when 

we go into a walking street, we were attracted by the lovely and exotic street 

food.

Shanghai 

The 

Shanghai trip 

was great! We experience the 

modern and ancient part of south east 

China. Shanghai is such a modern city. The night 

view of the Bund is amazing. Also the mag-train was so 

impressive, over 300 km/h. Suzhou is an ancient water town in China, 

famous by the gardens and food! The Humble Administrator’s Garden has over 

6 hundred years history, but still so beautiful and poetic. Students enjoyed 

taking pictures in this garden. Shopping is always the most popular part of the 

trip. You will see many interesting food in this ancient town. We also had the 

privilege to appreciate Kun Opera in an old house of Suzhou. Kun Opera is listed 

as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity 

by UNESCO since 2001. Only five masterpieces were listed in China. Although 

students do not quite understand the words, the melody was touching. 

Hangzhou was the last stop. Students watched a fantastic show about some 

stories in Song Dynasty. The last day, we took a boat on the West Lake. It has 

so many historical sites around the lake with beautiful stories. Unfortunately, 

we did not have enough time to visit any of them. Students were so happy and 

did not want to return. Some even danced by imitating some grandmas’ group 

dance in a square. It was so fun, the high light of the whole trip! 

Over all, this a great trip, although the pollution in Shanghai was 

bad!

Taiwan 

The 

students were 

taken on an adventure that made 

them smile, laugh, work together and relax. 

They checked out a bookstore the evening of our arrival 

just before retiring for the night at our hotel. The next day, we 

went to the fire museum where we did a simulation of hallways filled 

with smoke, just like in a real fire, to try and see if we could navigate our 

way through it the way a real firefighter would. Subsequently, they also 

underwent a simulation of a typhoon while in firefighter gear for the full 

experience. Throughout the next several days and nights, we were able 

to check out the night market, the science museum, a robotics museum 

and the students also had the opportunity to learn some dance moves 

during a professional dancing lesson. Finally, they were taken to a camp 

site where they got to try archery and make sticky rice. Towards the 

end of the trip, the students had bought souvenirs and were also able 

to take home sweets, candy and popcorn. The trip was filled with novel 

things that a few students got to try out for the first time. The trip 

upheld a sense of adventure that the students will 

remember for years to come.

Laos 

Originally, the 

prospect of hiking, trekking, 

and ziplining in a hot, humid country was 

daunting, the trip description emphasizing that it 

was an active trip only exacerbating my fears of signing up 

for Laos. This challenge has proved to be one of the most 

enjoyable trip experiences I have ever had. We got to marvel 

at ancient ruins, explore under waterfalls, climb rocks, trek 

into valleys, live in treehouses, and zipline into the leafy 

canopies of seemingly endless, lush trees, all the while 

eating good food and being surrounded by breathtaking 

natural scenery, fatigue quelled by the Thai massages we 

got during the night. This trip was filled to the brim with 

inside jokes, puns, laughter and wonder, and being able 

to share these experiences with my closest 

friends- students and teachers 

alike, is my privilege. 

167 

168

Cambodia 

Although the 

prospects of sweltering weather 

and irritating insects for five days was not 

eagerly embraced, students quickly found a way to look 

past the negatives and take something valuable home. In Siem 

Reap, students witnessed one of the seven alternate wonders of 

the world, Angkor Wat, and were impressed by the details of the 

stone carvings worthy of its title. The hand carvings were then 

juxtaposed by a trip to Phnom Kulen National Park and a hike to 

the park’s waterfall, displaying the natural beauty of Cambodia. 

“Being confronted by this type of human cruelty impacted my 

understanding of the importance of preventing crimes against 

humanity and awareness as to how blessed I am to live in a 

developed city that is Hong Kong.” - Tanya Leung 10 

169 

170

Singapore 

The 

Singapore 

trip was filled with exhilarating 

activities; we learnt about the differences 

in culture and history that are very similar to that of 

Hong Kong’s. We had an opportunity to visit one of Singapore’s 

most featured pilgrimage – the Merlion Park. Unfortunately, the Merlion 

statue was being renovated, so we only had the chance to see its son 

that is located beside to it. Other attractions included Gardens by 

the Bay, Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, SEAquarium, Universal Studios 

and Adventure Cove. The fantastic line-up of activities provided us a 

great break from schoolwork, and everyone took lots of pictures to 

make the trip memorable. Despite the activity-domineering trip, we 

were introduced to the cutting-edge technology of water treatment in 

Singapore’s NEWater water treatment facility; they are the forefront 

runners that are innovating ways to alert the citizens in conserving 

water in our post-Industrialized contemporary world. Overall, the 

experience was indefinitely memorable for everyone.

Japan 

Japan 

offered students 

an insight to the lives of 

Christians during the 17th Century and the 

tragedies that followed them. Students were given a 

better understanding through museum tours, landmarks and 

churches, such as the Oura Catholic Church, which was dedicated 

to immortalizing the Christian faith of Nagasaki. But of course, a 

trip to Nagasaki is never complete without an understanding of the 

events that took place during World War 2. with a solemn visit to 

the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb museum, students get to see a glimpse 

of the terror and pain that nuclear warfare can bring and come to 

remember those who fought for world peace. Treated to a broad range 

of Japanese delicacies, from the toothsome tempura to the strange 

first encounter of horse meat, students have grown to have a deeper 

understanding on the development of Christianity in Nagasaki and the 

promise to never repeat the horrors of war again.

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. The OHANA 

starts with Omega and ends with the Alpha, as God has said that “I am the Alpha and 

the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” (Revelation 22:13); our 

team wishes to carry on the baton of the achievements by the CARBS and continue 

their legacy of fostering school cohesiveness and the sensation of being one family. 

OHANA has proceeded with the CARBS’ work in providing high quality school life and 

fostering cohesiveness and harmony within the school community, through holding a 

variety of dress up days and decorating the atrium. 

The CARBS aimed to build a bigger school spirit alongside a growing student body – 

and building – through improving the everyday school life. CARBS symbolize a source 

of energy in many shapes and form to represent the sustaining energy we hoped to 

provide. As the CARBS I believe we accomplished our goal: from bringing in the vending 

machine to creating new events such as the talent show and Christmas dinner. Sprinkled 

throughout the year were dress up days, valentine’s day cards, an Easter egg 

hunt, leading camp activities, atrium redecoration and more. We’d like to thank each 

one of you reading this for your continuous support and hope that you will continue to 

take care of the vending machine and foosball tables for the years to come.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” 

John 15:5 

To say the GID philippines trip filled each members hearts with God’s love and fullness would be an understatement. A small church, 

community of christ, was our home for many days 

GID 

GID’s theme this year was commitment to Christ and to the community, emphasizing on being intentional in relationships within the 

surrounding community and above all, in the members’ relationship with God. A big thank you to Ms. Ma, for her faithful servant 

leadership and for truly leading by example. GID will miss you greatly. 

A fellowship of believers empowered to be a light in the community and to the ends of the earth. 

To say that the Community of Christ church will always hold a special place in each member’s hearts is a mere surface reflection of 

God’s love and fullness that was experienced in this small, tucked away community in New Manila, Quezon City. The small group of 

GID students and teachers spent each day at COC interacting with the youth group hoping to reignite a disappearing demographic 

in the church. Prior to the trip, students and teachers fundraised through many ways, including a bread run, in hopes to provide a 

blessing to the church. But the true blessing was the team’s willingness to take time out of the Christmas break and go where God 

calls. The team not only got to grow in relationship with the COC youth, but also with one another and with God. 

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

to the community with the different branches; each branch is 

targeted to a specific social issue that persists in Hong Kong. Students 

have performed a variance of compassionate acts and the members 

are all keen servants who are serving the community for God. The SJC 

has expanded into 5 branches this year in order to extensively address 

to different social issues, spreading God’s love with the gifts they have 

been given. 

Branch 1 – Reading with kids: “Kids 4 Kids” program

mentorship through 

the ELL program is a wonderful opportunity for 

primary students to integrate English skills they’ve learned in the classroom 

and employ it into everyday language use through telling stories, finding 

hidden pictures, establishing a point of view in a debate and more. ELL is a 

chance for students to meet new friends and gain high school mentors. The 

high school students acted as English mentors guiding them in various 

activities, meeting every Monday at lunch to discuss lesson plans and 

once a week to meet with the mentees. The primary students acquired 

language skills in debate, prepositions, idioms, and much more. The goal 

is to grow a collaborative family and friendship within CAIS and allowing 

students to acknowledge that God multiplies any skills we have to offer.

Student Service Leadership Club (SSLC) or CAIS Cares aims 

to enable primary and middle school students to express their 

opinion and engage in discussion on pertinent, real-world issues. 

Through grade 11 and 12 student leaders, various topics are 

covered. At the end of the year, a final service project is enacted 

for students to not only demonstrate what they have learned but 

also to show that everyone can be agents of change, no matter 

how small! 

The grade 7s cares students culminating project was creating 

small packets of joy, containing notes with words of encouragement 

and small goodies, to be handed out within the school and 

neighboring Lai Chi Kok area – one student chose to deliver it 

to a Kingyo bubble tea worker – ultimately this project was to 

demonstrate appreciation and a reminder that everyone in the 

community should be valued. 

““Thank you to the fellow grade 7s for the wonderful time and we 

hope you’ve learned something valuable.” - Jasper Chan 11B 

The grade 5 cares primary students’ service project was creating 

a personal basket for their domestic helper at home. Each 

basket was crafted based on their helper’s favorite things such 

as snacks, a drawing, or other items they have come to know 

about their helper. Throughout the year topics that were covered 

include refugees in Hong Kong, bullying, poverty, and ethnic 

minorities. 

1 Peter 4:10 

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good 

stewards of God’s varied grace 

“Grade 5s, we hope you continue to grow in knowledge about the 

issues in your community and more importantly, to find any way 

you can to help, big or small.” 

-Lauren Delvenne and Isabella Cheng 12

The tech team comprises of students from grades 6-12 who provide 

valuable work and support behind the scenes. The team started with tech 

support for chapels and have since grown to cover many major school 

events to ensure audio and visual components of the events run smoothly. 

With the help of the teacher coordinator Mr. Brunel Hamlett and fellow 

student leaders, Samantha Luke, Raphael Lo, Chloe Fong, Vanessa Yau, 

and Vincent Ma, the team has grown in technological skills. Most importantly, 

the tech team has provided the opportunity for students to serve 

God in a different capacity. 

“This experience has shown me how much work is put in behind the 

scenes and has allowed me to grow much closer in my relationship with 

God. This is also a good opportunity to tell teach team that your efforts 

are recognized and appreciated! A big thank you to all of you!” 

Jane Yung 

The worship team consists of students who have a sincere heart to serve 

the Lord through their musical talents. By working together as a team, 

they were able to develop a cohesive team spirit and build a deeper 

spiritual relationship with God, leading the audience into reciprocating 

that love for God. The theme for the team this year was for each member 

to know their identity before in order to give full praise to God. This theme 

has helped refocus the meaning of worship to be more than just music, to 

be a sincere confession to God. 

“Learning to praise God through different ways has allowed me to learn 

what it truly means to humble myself and praise God. Worship has taught 

me to let go and to seek God in times of trouble as well as the true 

meaning of being the Lord’s servant.”

The first ever CAIS Robotics team was established this school year by Mr. Sandy Campbell and Mr. Gary Fong to encourage 

the development of STEM interests within the school. The brilliant, inquisitive future mechanics equipped themselves with 

the mentality of having a goal in mind in preparation for the profusion of competitions throughout Hong Kong. The clawbot 

was the first experimental standard robot that the members worked on, using multiple controller options to manipulate 

the courses of the bot: tank, arcade, and duo-link mode. These robots required the young aspiring engineers to apply and 

synthesize prior mathematics, physics, and spatial skills and knowledge to eventually develop a fully autonomous mode.

GAMES 

Strategy Games Club began the year with the card game Euchre. This simple game 

introduced many new students to get concepts of bidding, trump suit, discarding, and 

following suit. They then progressed to German Bridge where they learned to evaluate 

the cards in their hands for strength and weaknesses and in the process, calculate 

percentages of winning or losing with a particular card and bidding the exact number of 

‘tricks’ that they could win with the cards in their hands. Finally, they began to learn and 

play Contract Bridge. This intricate game brings complexities in the way that the game is 

played but was no challenge to the students who all acquired a knack for the game very 

soon. In fact, through this year, students were able to see how math can increase the 

chances of you winning a game whilst increasing the enjoyment of the game! If you too 

would like to learn how you can improve your critical thinking, planning, math skills, or 

simply love to play strategy games, the club invites you to join them in the coming year!

Calligraphy 

Club 

The Chinese calligraphy club is a newly started activity this school year. Students enjoy a relaxing 

time of learning and writing traditional calligraphy. This year, we focused on writing bible verses 

or quotes. So on one hand we practice calligraphy, on the other hand we immersed in, and 

meditate, the word of God. During Chinese New Year, we also wrote blessings on red banners 

(hui chun, 揮春 ). Banners were posted on various locations in school to express our blessings 

to our community. Based on interest and proficiency, we wrote different fonts. This year, we had 

tried writing the regular script (kai shu, 楷書 ), the clerical script(li shu, 隷書 ), as well as the 

semi-cursive script (xing shu, 行書 ). Students found writing calligraphy is enjoyable as they can 

focus well, and release their stress.

“This

U16 boys’ basketball team 

attained gold in the Silver League Division 

One. Being able to accomplish the goal we had set in 

the beginning of the season; it has been an honor to 

be playing with such talented members on the team. 

Everyone on the team had a role to play, and was able 

to fulfill their roles by earning the team a collective 

victory. Throughout our journey, we had some ups 

and downs. One being having our most valued player, 

Mahir Devgun, getting an ankle injury. Without him in 

the starting lineup, everyone had to put in extra work 

-- whether it was playing the entire game without 

substitutes or simply getting minutes on the court. 

Each and everyone of us stepped up our game as 

a team. Some of the exhilarating moments we had 

include being undefeated and getting back-to-back 

banners, especially with all the handwork being spent, 

it was unquestionably worth it! A special mention to 

Mr. Ng who has dedicated hours into coaching us in 

practices, without his help, we wouldn’t have been able 

to make it this far. It has been more than a blessing to 

be captain of this team. Now earning two banners for 

our school, I’m more than excited to say that we are 

all prepared to move forward with hopefully yet again 

another undefeated season, bringing a third banner 

home again.” #noneedmichael

BASKETBALL 

The U14 Boys Basketball Team had 

a great season as they fought hard 

against some strong teams in the 

league. The players had hard times 

on their practices, but it was all worth 

it, as fitness has pushed their limits 

and the team made it into playoffs. 

They had close games throughout the 

season, but with the guidance of the 

Mr Jong as the coach, the team fought 

hard in playoffs and won second place. 

Congratulations to the U14 basketball 

team, you all have worked hard this 

year, and with the development of 

young players on their skills and ingame 

communication skills, their future 

is bright in CAIS with a stronger team 

in the future. 

BASKETBALL 

More than Champions. The verse for 

the U14 Girls Basketball team this 

season was “The joy of the Lord is 

your strength” Nehemiah 8:10. The 

players were supportive of one another, 

determined to give their utmost 

excellence, and experienced joy through 

play. A special mention to Captain 

Natalie Lam who left it all on the court 

when she played her last game with 

the team in CAIS – we will dearly. 

Girls, no matter how life changes, 

remember that the joy of the Lord truly 

is your strength and that you’ll always 

overcome because He already has. 

Pucchos!

Last 

year, we were 

a bunch of individual players 

learning how to play together. This 

year, we competed as a team every 

single time. “Hero ball” was non-existent 

as coaches from other teams 

commended us on our team play. 

Playing their hearts out every time on 

the court, the boys showed grace in victory 

and defeat and never backed down 

from a challenge. I hope they apply this 

attitude and demeanour off the court 

in other areas of their lives. Proud of 

these young lions.

a huge part throughout our season

VOLLEYBALL 

The U20 Girls Volleyball team shared 

a wonderful season of laughter, 

goofiness, and ultimately grew in love 

for the sport of volleyball. What makes 

this year particularly special is truly 

the team chemistry and support we all 

had for one another. Cheering loudly for 

great finishes but cheering even louder 

in the face of mistakes whilst uplifting 

each other. 

Though we did not receive a medal, 

the girls played their best during every 

match. What we did take from this 

season though, arguably more valuable 

than a medal, is an unforgettable 

sisterhood. At last, team #FONGJONG 

would not be possible without our two 

wonderful coaches: thanks for your 

time, dedication, and patience on and 

off the court.

VOLLEYBALL 

“Having a fresh roster and limited 

knowledge about volleyball, the U16 boys 

goes into the season with a hope and 

dedication to win the banner. Making into 

the playoffs gave the U16 boys a sense of 

happiness and anxiety. The results aren’t 

necessarily the best, but the game of 

volleyball has been redefined in our minds. 

The beginning of the season was a 

roller coaster ride. Not knowing how to 

pass properly, not able to set perfectly, 

and not able to spike properly. The U16 

boys has built a chemistry through 

hard work. With the ability to play as 

a team, skills were developed, leading 

us into the playoffs in our first year. 

The results may not be as promising, 

but we appreciate how far we’ve gone. 

Knowing our potential, we will walk 

into the next year with the eager to 

snatch banner. LET’S GO LIONS!!” 

-Ryan Yeung and Mahir Devgun 

VOLLEYBALL 

“The U16 girls’ volleyball team 

has come a long way individually and as 

a team. At the beginning of the season, 

we struggled with shyness towards 

students of different grades. For many 

of us, it was our first time playing the 

sport competitively, but we learned to 

improve from mistakes and slowly built our 

confidence. We went from playing a game 

of “ping pong” to coordinating our plays 

with a finishing hit. Each game we won 

and the encouragement of our coaches 

and each other motivated us to strive 

further and push beyond our potentials. 

We unfortunately did not make it to the 

playoffs, but everyone fought and sacrificed 

every limb until the end of our last game. 

We may not have ended with a medal, 

but the experience was very rewarding. 

Thank you, Ms. Yeung, for pushing us 

to improve and the shuffling drills. The 

sisterhood formed is unforgettable.”

It has been an honor this year for me to 

captain and be a part of the team this 

year. This year was a year of change, 

as there were new players and new 

management. Yet our team continued 

to adapt and persevere. We continue to 

grow throughout the season, not only 

did our soccer skills improve, but our 

relationship with each other improved. 

We learned how to kick a ball as much 

as we learned how to respect each 

other and trust the team. 

- Thomas Leung, Team Captain 

SOCCER 

This year’s 

U20 girls soccer team 

made history. With half of the team 

being new to the sport, limited practices 

and countless rainy days, we’ve had our 

setbacks. Regardless, we’ve had an amazing 

season with loving memories, deserving 

wins, and consistent effort. For the first time 

in 8 years, we were granted the opportunity 

to participate in a soccer tournament abroad! 

We became each other’s sisters, and even 

had our youngest girl be the “mom” of the 

team. From inside jokes like Renee’s baby 

hair, “finding a man” when marking, and 

night pranks to the unforgettable moment 

where we were awarded the only trophy given 

at the tournament. All of us demonstrated 

great improvement in our playing skills 

and character growth on and off the field. 

Starting from the back with our goalie being 

a real keeper, to an unsurpassable defence, 

persistent midfielders, speedy strikers, the 

best possible coach and a godly attitude we 

deserved everything we earned. I’m proud to 

say it was a great honour to be this year’s 

captain.

SOCCER 

The U-14 boys soccer 

team had a wonderful, successful 

season. Every practice and game started 

with a prayer, which as one player even 

said, “was the best part of soccer.” God 

helped the team to get along, play to the 

best of their abilities, and most importantly, 

helped the players develop good friendships 

with one another. The team went 

undefeated during league play, 3 wins, 1 

draw, and finished as the champions of 

the Kowloon division! In the playoffs the 

boys team made it into the championship 

game and fought hard but came up short. 

Receiving a silver medal was still worthy 

of celebration. But the season did not 

end there: the players wanted to continue 

practicing and playing after the final and 

they do so every Thursday. Congratulaions 

to the U14 boys soccer team of 2018-2019. 

You are all champions! Well done!

BADMINTON 

The Boys 

team proved to be very 

strong and competitive in their first 

year of playing in this competition. 

However, the competition being of a 

particularly high standard proved to 

be very challenging. So much so, the 

Boys just failed to make the playoffs 

this time round. Having said that, both 

the Boys and the Girls squads are 

particularly keen to continue playing 

the following year. The students in 

both squads represented the school in 

a tremendous way, providing a great 

example of sportsmanship and commitment 

to the team week in and week 

out. I would have no hesitation coaching 

these squads again next year. 

Mr. Sandy

As the 

coach of the U16 Boys and

say we had a wonderful season, being 

our first ever time competing in this 

sport. The girls finished the season 

with a bronze, with our top ranked 

player, Bernice Yam arguably being the 

best player in the competition, fell ill in 

the final week of playoffs. This made it

however the team played very well as 

they were much improved since the

The regular season saw the team 

achieve a record that put them in 2nd

forth a valiant effort in the playoffs but 

ended up finishing in 4th. However, with 

the development of current and future 

players in the team the future looks 

bright for the CAIS badminton team! 

Well done boys! 

BADMINTON 

The U14 Girls Badminton team headed 

into a tough season that had the girls 

come up against some very strong 

teams. Even though they faced a lot of 

adversity where they played against 

well-established teams and dealt with 

sick team members, they persevered 

and displayed an amazing attitude 

through every single match. This all 

paid off in their final game where they 

came from 2 games down to winning 

the final 3 matches, ultimately winning 

the entire match itself! Thank you girls

HOCKEY 

The U20 Mixed Ball Hockey team 

improved a lot in comparison to the 

previous season. They were competitive 

in every game they played. While the 

team was on the wrong side of the 

score more than they would have liked, 

every player still contributed to the 

best of their abilities. Moreover, next 

season looks very promising as several 

members of the 2018-2019 team 

continued to play ball hockey even after 

the season ended in a youth ball hockey 

league. It has been encouraging to 

witness some students at CAIS develop 

a love and interest in the sport of ball 

hockey. 

AND FIELD 

The Track and Field athletes practiced 

day in day out and gave every practice 

and mini-meet their all. 

We spent all of our time on the tracks 

and fields seeking to maximize our 

potentials. In the process of seeking 

our limit, we managed to surpass that 

our perceived to become the absolute 

best that we can be. This will to improve 

slowly moulded us to become amazing 

athletes in the championships as we all 

strived for gold.
