      Mr. Au Yeung introduces SKSS students to S4B students
                 Our school held a local exchange programme
            with Christian & Missionary Alliance Sun Kei
                                           nd

            Secondary School (SKSS) from 2  to 4  May. Six
            students from S4 (4B Winnie Cheng & Ray Yu, 4C
            Carmen Cheng, Cora Chung, Yvette Ng & Lilian
            Yeung) had a taste of the school life at SKSS for
            three days.
                 It is my pleasure to be one of the exchange
            students. In this short stint, we received cordial
            hospitality from all the teachers and students
            of SKSS. When we were in the campus, there
            were always some friendly faces smiling to us.
            Schoolmates there were nice and they loved chatting   SKSS students present gifts to Mr. Au and teachers on their first day of exchange
            with us. We told them some funny stories about
            CCSC while they shared theirs too. During lessons,
            teachers and classmates gave us support whenever
            we looked confused. Even though the curricula of
            the two schools are not exactly the same and there
            were topics that we had not learnt at CCSC, the
            teachers of SKSS were more than willing to offer
            us help so that we could catch up on the lessons.
            After lessons, we joined various school teams and
            extra-curricular activities like the Robotic Team,
            English Debating Team and Volleyball Team. SKSS
            is renowned for robotics and we had a lot of fun
            playing in the Lego Maker Lab there. Moreover, our
