Hear from a student

Hongkonger CHLOE YUEN is 16 years old and in Lower Sixth Form at Malvern.

What have you enjoyed most about your time at Malvern?

Being surrounded by such diverse peers with a vast number of interests and ambitions. I’ve also enjoyed being able to explore and blossom in so many areas of different subjects whether that be languages, sciences or the performing arts.

What’s your favourite subject and why?

My favourite subject is Biology – I’ve always enjoyed the subject, but our science teachers at Malvern make the lessons engaging and interactive. For myself, a hands-on experience is the most effective way of learning; we’ve done numerous experiments and activities, one of the most memorable of which for me was dissecting a pig’s heart.

What are some of the ways MCHK has helped you prepare for the DP?

The school has provided me with guidance on subject choices and decision making. Not only have the subject teachers been a great help, but the pupils in the higher year levels have also given their thoughts on different subjects.

And how has it helped in other areas?

In previous years, I was the Head of my House. I loved working alongside my Deputy Head to build a stronger community within the House. Having this experience both challenged me and helped me realise that leadership is one of my strong suits. In the coming two years, I hope to continue to demonstrate my leadership skills within the school community with my leadership scholarship. Alongside that, my drama scholarship has encouraged me to participate in various performances and CCAs.

What do you hope to do in the future?

I hope to study psychology and become a child developmental psychologist in the future. I want to particularly work in the field of developmental psychology because I want to help special needs children become better versions of themselves.
