One of the top scorers this year, Mechina Wang once questioned herself during the examination. However, with the encouragement from her classmates, she put herself back on track. Excelled in the field of Mathematics and Science, Mechina recalled, “We would create revision notes with our expertise and share. Alongside the learning materials from our teachers, all these served as motivation, especially when physical classes were suspended.” Another top scorer, Enoch Cheng expresses his gratitude to YCIS’s teachers, “They allow me to explore my interest outside the classroom, such as establishing a student-led club promoting the environmentally friendly lifestyle. Thank you Ms Sam Sze Yin-hung, our Chinese Co-Principal and fellow teachers, I can meet people with the same passion for widening my horizon.”

“All students have achieved their full potential in this two-year IBDP journey. It is such a delight to see they have overcome the challenges and been admitted to the universities of their choices, to name a few, Oxford University, Tsinghua University, Peking University and the University of Hong Kong.” expressed Mr Martin Scott, Education Director and Executive Principal of YCIS Hong Kong. “We are incredibly proud of our Class of 2022 and wish them all the best in their future endeavours as YCIS lifelong learners.”
