Welcome to WYKAAO
Welcome to WYKAAO
News of the passing of our beloved former WYK teacher, Mr. Wong Chin Wah, brought upon not only sadness but nostalgia. Chok and I, were at WYK from 1952 to 1958, and had Wong, Sir as our mathematics and chemistry teacher. His teaching method was innovative and clever, providing us lifelong skills till today. His extracurricular activities as the main figure in the staging of Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas and Cantonese operas in English claimed for Wah Yan Kowloon a league of its own among all the English high schools in HK. He was an idol to many of his students and the two of us especially wished we could emulate him in life and career. Wong, Sir left an indelible image in our minds that would last till our last days. We wish Wong, Sir, a well earned rest and offer his family and friends our deepest condolences. Wong, Sir, RIP.
~ Chung Yu, WYK 57.
