Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School (PLKCKY) Hong Kong
Reviews & Information

As a student of this school, I will say that the quality of the school depends on which area you're looking at. This school is known for their motto "every child is good at something". It is known to offer a variety of subjects and let their students try out everything from food technology to STEM. This is particularly( and only ) enforced at lower grades( primary to lower secondary ). The school does concentrate and put most of their funding into the science subjects/ departments, while many students complain about a lack of facilities for subjects such as theatre, music, or art. This is somewhat understandable, as the school is famous for many alumni getting into science related industries, such as medicine. Many facilities in the school are broken, and they appear to not know where to use their funding in. For instance, many chairs are broken and the wifi connection is very poor, but the school chooses to replace all the doorknobs for a reason unknown to the student body. It is true that the school appears to invest in a variety of areas, but it is honestly mostly just for reputation(hence above I mentioned about how the school seemingly does not focus as much on art related subjects). Quality of teachers vary. Typically, for junior secondary, many of the teachers are bad at teaching. More experienced teachers teach at higher grades for igcse and ib, and they usually are better at teaching and are more passionate. However, primary school was extremely enjoyable and fun, an experience that you would not usually get for primary school. Many teachers quit every year, and there are rumours that teachers are mistreated. I will recommend for your child to join starting primary, but do not continue until secondary.

The teachers are very kind, and give a second chance after if you do something wrong.

Po Leung Kuk CKY is an amazing school! They have a special and fun way of teaching students. To teach discipline in their school, CKY uses something called “Star points” or “Group Points”. The higher the points are, the better the reward they will have! In PLKCKY, every child is good at something.

CKY can cultivate students with good thinking and analytical skills.

As a student studied here through Y1 to Y12, I genuinely have no idea where the hates in comment section come from. I graduated 10 years ago and never experienced any academic stress in CKY. Most of the teachers back in my time have probably left already so it's quite pointless to comment about specific teachers. I enjoyed the culture in campus, students are nice, too nice somehow, it was like they were the flowers in a warm house, never faced the dark side of the society. Above average academic achievement, decent amount of homework and exam. No smoker, drugs nor serious bullying spotted in my life is CKY, and trust me, I would know if they existed. I think parents would be glad if their kids join CKY. But afterall, who am I to comment? I'm just an outdated graduate.

CKY is a super bad place, ask me how I know? I work here. Most of the staff are lazy, incompetent, untrained, poorly educated and some are corrupt. Mistreatment of staff is commonplace, in fact if you are not being abused or mistreated there must be something wrong. They make up salary scales for people and make it impossible to leave. Its like a gulag. Management is very bad and purely self-serving. Students are good strangely....

Very good school to combine the benefit of both Chinese and Western learning culture.

Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School is a school of great ambition. Well that is what it used to be. The school now has changed into something it sweared it never wanted to be, a machine like prison, forcing students through tireless work. I am a student of the senior secondary levels and observed how gruelling it can be in the Primary section. However IGCSE teachings in our school is incredible, even though there are a lot of training and after school sessions, the teachers really care about us and try their very best. But the quality of teachers in CKY is so inconsistent. We have a huge ratio between good and successful teachers with those who can barely teach a class. I don’t really want to name names, but one of them caused an entire class to not get a single A in IGCSE. Our school teachers have a bias towards female students, especially female Chinese teachers. Which I think is extremely unfair. Moreover, our facilities are a little aged, despite being quite a young school, our windows, bookcases and tables can be easily worn out. But overall, CKY is not some god tier school like many rumoured it to be, it’s a pretty average school that is facing massive change. It makes me really wonder, is it worth it to attend this school with the risk of having bad teachers? Quality of education is what’s most valued after all. Also on an unrelated note, our school implemented a better security system and fixed the basketball court, but there is a lot more facilities that needs maintenance. Basketballs and volleyballs are insufficient and also extremely old, which is unable to support those training in teams.

As an ex-student who has studied up until igcse curriculum, i’d say this school is terrible.
