Students from Queen's College have rarely failed to deliver at the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE). And this year was no exception, although only one student gained 10 straight As.
Science student Li Chung-fai heads the list along with six others who scored nine As - Kwock Yin-lun, Anson Wong Man-hoi, Max Chan Chau-fai, Johnny Fong Ka-keung, Kenneth Lau Kin-shing and Alex Wong Ho- lun. Last year, five science students from the school obtained 10 straight As, while four candidates gained top marks in 1997.
This year's winners attributed their success to active participation in extra-curricular activities and faith in God.
'Appreciation of music and spiritual support from Christianity have helped me deal with exam stress,' Chung-fai, who plays the flute, said.
'I think God guides me all the way, giving me the chance to re flect on things and come up with the right solutions.
'The change in the exam format made us think more rather than just memorising everything,' Chung-fai said.
