Founding Principal’s Words
校 ⻑ 的 話
Succeeding Together in Diverse Teams
The theme for our 2021-22 academic year captures the essence of what makes CKY a thriving school
community. Two words reveal a great deal about a core value that runs deep in everything we do and how we
interact with one another. Succeeding Together means that we can accomplish far more by working in
partnership than we could ever achieve by working alone. It reminds us that to be truly successful, we each
have a responsibility to support others who need our help or encouragement, while receiving the support of
others at the same time. While we celebrate the exceptional achievements of individual students and staff, we
are even more glad to recognise and applaud the outstanding feats of close-knit teams who exemplify solid
teamwork and strong collaboration; two watchwords that guide our relationships with each other. As a rather
large institution comprising over 1,800 students and around 250 teachers and staff, as well as parents, alumni
and ancillary staff including caterers, janitors and instructors, the key to our success is that we make the most
of the diverse talents of everyone throughout our whole community. Only by working together can we achieve
our common goals of educational excellence and holistic nurturing of every child in our care. Despite the size
of our community, the close bonds that were forged when the school was established have been maintained to
this day; I am still fond of referring to our ever-growing community as the CKY Family!
Proud to be different on Odd Socks Day!
