Kowloon Tong School
(Primary Section)
2011 Issue No.6
Welcome to our fifth issue of Kowloon Tong School’s Newsletter – The Vision (Vivid Inspirational Stimulating Intelligent
Outstanding Newsletter). This year, students have been taking part in different activities which can widen their horizons.
Also, they can develop their interpersonal and social skills through outdoor visits and English room activities.
English Language Day and English Room Activities
Theme: KTS 75 th Anniversary Open Day
As our grand day in May is only weeks away, our theme for this particular language week was our 75th Anniversary.
Students enthusiastically donned costumes to sing a brand new rap song. More enthusiasm was generated in the reading
of birthday messages and balloon decorations. A rousing karaoke session on the final day ensured that everyone was
eagerly anticipating our special day.
We are over the moon to take a photo with Mr
Sellers, Justin Bieber and Lady Blah Blah!
“Happy Birthday, KTS!”
Students are reading out the chant “KTS
75th Anniversary” together at the School
TV Station. Their garlands add colour to
their performance.
Who is that? Justin Bieber at our
school to sing us wonderful songs.
Students are delighted to see him.

Happy Birthday, KTS
Having studied in my school,
A place I met all of you.
Playing, learning in two terms,
Plenty of knowledge I have learned.
Years of five, time really flies!
Being a P.5 student in KTS,
I often like to chat in recess,
Ring the bell, I play with care,
Trees and plants are everywhere.
Happy time always runs so fast,
Don’t forget what Miss Tong said in the class,
“Always be honest and study hard,
You should work with plenty of heart!”
KTS, my honour to study here,
Thank you teachers for your love and care.
Surely I won’t forget, and will do my best!
“Happy Birthday, KTS”
1B Chort Chun Yuk
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Seventy Five, celebrate high.
Everyone is dancing,

Make a wish, make a
wish.

Deep from our
hearts all the best.

Dear teachers of KTS,
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to KTS for the
coaching and guidance from my professional teachers who have
brought me up from a little shy girl to a confident, independent
and self-motivated girl.
My specific thanks to Miss Tong and Miss Wong from our
music department who offered me such a great opportunity to be
one of the KTS Angels for the performance during this year’s Christmas
party. I am so proud that I was assigned to play violin solo during the
school visit to Shenzhen. All these events added terrific colour to my
primary school memories.
I am most grateful to Miss Wong, our class teacher. Thanks to Miss
Wong, I started to love Maths and got full marks in a Maths test for the first
time in Primary 5.
I am proud of being a student in KTS and I will do my best in my
future school to be a key contributor to our society.
Yours sincerely,
Heidi Suen
Outdoor Visits
Every year, students have outdoor visits related to the subject they are learning. During the visits,
students have the opportunity to develop their interpersonal and social skills.
Outdoor Visit – P.1 Kowloon Tong Fire Station
6A Felicity So
Our P.1 students are holding the heavy
fire hose. It seems that they are very
professional!
‘Go! Go! Go!’ Our brave
little firefighters are sliding
down the fire pole to put out
the fire and save people’s
lives.
The fireman is talking about the
equipment used to put out a fire. Our P.1
students are listening very attentively.
Outdoor Visit – P.3 Hong Kong Heritage Museum
5A Dorothy Chiu
They are very happy to
have their photo taken
with a robot. Are you
interested in knowing
what the robot can do? Look! The P.3 students are actively
participating during the outdoor visit.
The students are playing some
stick games. I think they are
enjoying the game very much.
Students’ Corner
In order to celebrate our school’s 75th anniversary, we asked the students and their parents to write an article.
Students were asked to write down their feelings about studying in KTS, and their parents were asked to express
why they thought KTS was such a special place to send their children.
Students’ Feelings about Studying in KTS
6D Venus Chow
My name is Chow Tsz Tung, Venus. I have
been studying in this school for almost six years.
Kowloon Tong School has given me a lot of fun.
There are a variety of subjects and activities
provided, such as Chinese, English, Mathematics,
different sports teams and drama classes.
The subject that I most like at this school is Music. Music
teachers have taught me how to sing and play musical instruments.
When I have some difficulties, I will ask the music teacher. She is
very kind and patient towards me.
I have been a member of the School Orchestra for two years.
I play the violin. I am proud of being a member of the orchestra.
I have entered a competition with the orchestra, and we won the
second runner-up prize.
The thing I love about this school is the school environment.
It provides us with fresh air because there are a lot of trees and
beautiful flowers. A lot of facilities can be found in our school,
such as KTS TV station, computer room, library, music room, etc.
I feel very happy that I can be a student at Kowloon Tong
School. Teachers and schoolmates are very kind and friendly.
When I leave this school, I will never forget them.
Parents’ writing about the school
6D Parents of Venus Chow
Thanks so much to you and all the
teachers. All of you are so kind and
patient to guide and teach our daughter
Chow Tsz Tung. We appreciate your
efforts so much. During these past six
years, we have learned a lot and tried
hard to meet your school’s educational policy to balance all
aspects of child development.
We were so happy to hear the good news that Venus had
become a student of Kowloon Tong School six years ago. It
seemed that we had won first prize! Kowloon Tong School is
a very renowned, elite school in this area. And also the unique
campus style, spacious classrooms, sports playground and green
campus which is really our dream school. We felt very happy that
our daughter could be a student at KTS.
Venus had a hard time keeping up the school programme in the
first few years. Both of us were too busy with our own business
in China. Although we hired private tutors to help her, it didn’t
work. We were invited to discuss her situation with the class
teacher several times. We were given a lot of effective methods
to encourage and help her. Now, she has improved and she is
much better than before. Due to this, we really appreciate all your
care and teaching. We have been proven correct in choosing your
school from the beginning and we are proud of your school and
all that it stands for.

6A Ruby Yeung
My name is Yeung Nga Ching, Ruby. I am
studying in 6A. I have studied in KTS for nearly
six years. I like studying in KTS because it’s a
place where I have many happy memories. I like
the headmistress and my teachers because they are
kind and nice to me. They are caring and responsible
too. They do not only teach and allow me to gain
greater knowledge, but also guide me to be a well-behaved student.
I also get along well with my classmates. We always help each other
with our studies. Some of them have become my good friends!
I feel honoured to study in KTS. It is a single-storey building and
it is spacious. It provides all KTS students with a pleasant learning
environment. Besides this, KTS offers us many opportunities to
take part in different extra-curricular activities. Our teachers always
encourage and support us to do our best.
I had an unforgettable experience. Last year, I took part in an
inter-school table tennis tournament. I was defeated at the last
minute. I felt very disappointed and almost cried, but my teacher
said that I had done my best and praised me for my effort. I was
touched by his support!
I am proud to be a student of KTS; however, I shall have to say
goodbye soon as I will graduate from KTS this year. I will miss
my teachers and classmates very much. I am also grateful to the
headmistress and teachers for their help and guidance. I wish you
all the best for the future!
6A Parents of Ruby Yeung
Six years ago, we made the right
decision – sending our daughter, Yeung
Nga Ching, Ruby, to Kowloon Tong
School (Primary Section). Ruby used to
be shy and introverted at kindergarten.
She didn’t like to join class activities
and play with other students. We were very concerned about her
personal growth and development. Like many other parents in
Hong Kong, we tried hard to find a primary school which could
offer a balanced and diversified high-quality education for our
daughter. In view of our daughter’s changes over the past six years,
our decision proved to be fruitful.
Ruby is studying in 6A now. She likes to help with the housework
at home. She enjoys her studies and extra-curricular activities at
KTS. She is willing to participate in different school activities. She
tries to improve her abilities in learning and sports by using her
own initiative. She also enjoys helping her teachers and making
friends with her classmates. We attribute our daughter’s positive
attitude to the teachers’ guidance and devotion. In addition, we are
also impressed with the school’s support for students and parents.
We are always kept in touch with school activities and the students’
school life.
We are very grateful to all the teaching staff at KTS for their
whole-hearted dedication to nurturing and teaching our daughter.
