Students at the Hang Seng School of Commerce celebrated once again yesterday as the school had the most students bagging at least five As for the sixth year in a row and the only students to snatch six As.
The jubilant atmosphere at the Sha Tin school accompanied an announcement from the school management that it was considering scrapping its senior secondary school curriculum after years of success.
The school's administrators have indicated it intends to become an elite private university.
Cheers and tears of joy filled the school as people learned four students obtained six As. In addition, nine of the 17 students in Hong Kong who obtained five As are from the Sha Tin school.
'I never expected this. It is like I am having a dream. I still cannot believe this,' one of the six-A students, Chiu Shing-fung, said.
Wong Kwong-on, another top scorer, said the key to doing well was to study past papers and understand how the questions were asked.
The school netted 507 As this year, some 70 less than last year, but president Chui Hong-sheung was upbeat when he talked to reporters after he handed out the score sheets to the top students.
