Congratulations! CKY Battlers!
It's our first time to enter BoB and our team has made their first success at the semi-final held at our school on May 9th.  The three schools joined CKY for the event were South Island School, Hong Kong Academy, and Harrow International School. All teams fought hard, and we're very proud of our achievements today.
