School visit by delegates from Irish Universities
On 27th January, the Consul General of Ireland, Mr. Peter Ryan, together with the representatives from the Irish International Education Center (IIEC) and some universities from Ireland visited our school. Our Principal, Mr. Dion Chen, Head of Examinations, Ms. Kit Ng and Higher Education and University Counselor, Ms. Edith Mok, welcomed them warmly.
Mr. Chen gave a comprehensive introduction of YHKCC and then proceeded to a signing ceremony of Memorandum of Understanding with the Irish International Education Center to provide practical teaching opportunities, employment experiences and the sharing of history, culture, and tradition at YHKCC for the youth from Ireland. It also aims to strengthen the ties and mutual understanding between IIEC and YHKCC by means of educational and cultural exchange, and thus to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic, and peaceful relations between IIEC and YHKCC.
A talk given by the representatives from the universities was also arranged for Form 5 students to give them a better understanding about the education system in Ireland and the entry requirements as well as the programmes the institutions offer. It was a fruitful afternoon which provided students with information about their further study choices.
