Founding Principal’s Words 校⻑的話 Joy and Appreciation Since the start of our new school year, we have had much to be joyful about and thankful for. The joy of learning together on campus has created many treasured moments of fun, where we can enjoy each other’s genuine friendship in person, instead of through digital screens. In an academically rigorous school like ours, we should never lose sight of the importance of balance, rest and play. Moreover, being appreciative of all the blessings that life bestows, and the people who deserve our thanks, is an unlimited source of joy. This edition of the CKY Newsletter is themed Joy and Appreciation, and features some of the special ways we are finding joy and expressing gratitude throughout our school community. We are running a series of ‘Fun Fridays’ this school year, where everyone at our campus can see the funny side of school life during these special dress days. Pyjama, fitness, and fancy dress days, for instance, are not only an opportunity to see each other in very unusual and light-hearted circumstances. There are positive messages that can be spread on such days, including the need for good sleeping habits, regular physical exercise, and using superheroes as ideal role models for resilience! ‘Fun Fridays’ is fast becoming a joyous event which everyone, even our senior students, is much looking forward to. Expressing genuine appreciation to our nearest and dearest, as well as others whose kindness does us a good turn, is also a real focus this term among students and staff. In this edition, we shine a spotlight on how we are promoting gratitude through ‘Appreciation Lanes’ and well decorated walls, all full with handwritten notes of thanks. Among the many individuals appreciated in this edition, we give special thanks to the late Mr Viljoen, for many years a dear colleague and much-loved teacher in our Primary section, who inspired countless children with a generosity of humour, encouragement and care.
As a busy school community at CKY, we are accustomed to working at pace. But we revel in staying active and driving forward. We are indeed restless for improvement. After all, standing still, while everything else is on the move, is the same as falling behind. The sheer variety of school events and activities held this term reflect just how close-knit our school community is, through the shared experiences that we are all enjoying together. Some of these entirely new activities are featured in this edition, from enlightening field trips to inter-school competitions and delightful PTA excursions; a testament to our extraordinary home-school cooperation. As we approach the Spring Festival, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones peace and good health in 2023, and a prosperous and Happy Chinese New Year! Dr. LAU, Siu-Ling Founding Principal
