Principal’s Message
Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back! The commencement of a new school year is always an exciting time, filled with fresh opportunities and new beginnings. I am particularly excited to extend a heartfelt welcome to all the newly admitted F1 students and their families who are joining our school community this year.
Throughout the summer vacation, several issues have emerged on social media and in the mainstream media regarding plagiarism, cheating, and the originality of students’ creations. There have been an abundance of discussions surrounding these topics.
Because of technological advancements, we have observed that:
- These issues have been recorded and gained public attention.
- Investigation and cross-verification have been made easier.
- Most importantly, these concerns will persist on the Internet!
As outsiders, we can’t judge, but it truly reminds me and our team to reflect on the core values of education, especially in this technological era.
1. Planting Seeds of Integrity and Compassion
This year marks the third and final year of our 3-year development cycle. With our school motto, which is commonly shared among all PLK schools: Love, Respect, Diligence, and Integrity. Love will be deeply integrated with Benevolence, Empathy, and Filial Piety directly into our curriculum, daily lessons, and various co-curricular activities. Our goal is to create a vibrant school community where compassion and respect aren’t just taught—they’re lived.
For over four decades, our focus has extended beyond academics to encompass the character development of all Centenarians. As technology and AI advance at an unprecedented rate, fostering integrity and honesty has become increasingly vital. These qualities are not mere buzzwords; they serve as the moral compass that will steer our students through the digital landscape and beyond.
2. A New Chapter in Teamwork: Our “Working Together” Initiative
We are thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new program for our Form 1 centenarians, titled “Our Clean Space, Our Shared Grace.” This initiative goes beyond mere tidying; it represents a daily commitment to fostering a sense of shared responsibility and teamwork. By collaborating to clean their own homeroom, our students will not only enhance their environment but also gain an appreciation for the strength of collaboration and the significance of contributing to their community. We will be learning alongside them, and as we gather insights from this experience, we aim to extend this meaningful initiative to other form levels.
3. Celebrating ALL Our Champions, the Class of 2025
As we prepare to welcome the new year, let’s take a moment to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our Class of 2025! They have truly excelled, demonstrating outstanding performance in the HKDSE. We are immensely proud to share that a record high of 7.4% and 22% of our students achieved a score of 5** and 5*, respectively. This cohort is indeed exceptional. They entered Form 1 in 2019, filled with enthusiasm, yet faced unexpected challenges, including social unrest and a global pandemic, along with their 6-year secondary school life. Despite these hurdles, their dedication has shone through, nurtured within PLKC. Most of them have received offers for bachelor’s degrees through JUPAS. Approximately 40% will be attending HKU, CUHK, and HKUST, while more than 60% are set to enrol in top QS 100 universities around the globe.
Their hard work has paid off in amazing ways. This year, six of our graduates are heading off to become medical doctors, and three will be pursuing a career in law. Some have gained entry into renowned programs in global business, quantitative finance, and global economics and finance. In the allied health fields, we are delighted to see three graduates entering occupational therapy, two in radiography, and one in physiotherapy. Their success is a shining example of what happens when dedication meets passion.
A special shout-out to Grace Wong, whose academic journey is nothing short of inspiring. She received two offers from Imperial College London, and Du Man Siu received an offer from the London School of Economics and Political Science, along with offers from top-tier universities like Tsinghua University and Peking University.
The accomplishments of our graduates, alongside the collective achievements of all Teachers, Parents, Alumni, PLK, and various stakeholders within the school community, underscore the importance of a holistic approach that integrates academic excellence with character development to foster a community of well-rounded individuals prepared to face future challenges.
I wish all our students a wonderful and enriching academic year ahead!
Centenarian is something more!
