American Chamber's Charitable Foundation Prize Book Award 2012
	Tyson Wai In full support of our high school faculty Tyson Wai has been nominated as this year’s winner of the 2012 AmCham Charitable Foundation Prize Book Award. Tyson has unquestionable talent and ability. His exceptional character, leadership, and high involvement in our after school programs and community service have, for three years, been a shining example to our school. Courageously, Tyson continues to achieve our Expected School-Wide Learning Results with refreshing resolve. Academically, Tyson has earned a 3.87 G.P.A. amidst a very difficult course schedule including three Advanced Placement courses in Biology, Psychology, and English Language and a strong focus for university preparation with his SAT results. He is well on his way to becoming an AP scholar. Tyson’s outstanding personal skills and attributes are most visible in sports, Model United Nations, Debate Club, his Peer Tutoring Coordinator role, and Treasurer of our school’s Student Council. These areas demonstrate his outstanding critical thinking and inclusive interpersonal skills as well as his concern for the global world, that are so attractive and endearing across the school. Valiantly, his contributions in leadership, academic scholarship and service are highly regarded. It is a joy to award Tyson the AmCham Prize Book Award. The AmCham Charitable Foundation Prize Book Award is established by the American Chamber of Commerce in 1986. A prize book and check for HK$1,000 is presented to each awarded student in the next to graduating class who combine excellence in scholarship with achievements in community service, leadership, and other related fields.

	EARCOS Global Citizenship Award 2012
	David Hong In unanimous decision the High School Faculty proudly presents this year’s EARCOS Global Citizenship Award to Sung-Chul (David) Hong. This award is given to the Grade 11 student who most characterizes concern and community service to the school, our local community and the world. David has consistently earned Principal's Honor Roll and this year placed 1st in the American Mathematics Competition in all of Hong Kong as well as earning a near perfect 3.96 G.P.A. in four AP Courses including Chemistry, English Language, AB and BC Calculus. Yet, as impressive as these attainments are, David is being recognized in this award for extending and using his talents in compassionate concern towards others. As his homeroom teacher points out, David has been involved in numerous clubs and activities with the sole purpose of helping others. As President of the Human Rights Club, he effectively organized ice-cream and bubble tea sales to raise money for several charities. He also improved the nature of the club itself making it more enjoyable and meaningful for others. As a peer tutor, David not only has offered his intellectual abilities to others but he made a point to be concerned with other students and made friends in the process. In addition, David was involved in the Global Issues Network as a school ambassador in Manila where he learned about the 20 most pressing global concerns impacting society today and worked with others to focus on effective means of intervention. For all that he has accomplished, we congratulate David as our EARCOS Global Citizen Award Winner of 2012. An East Asia Regional Council of Overseas Schools (EARCOS) Global Citizenship Award is presented to a student who embraces the qualities of a global citizen. He/she is a proud representative of his/her nation while respectful of the diversity of other nations, has an open mind, is well informed, aware and empathetic, concerned and caring for others encouraging a sense of community and strongly committed to engagement and action to make the world a better place. Finally, this student is able to interact and communicate effectively with people from all walks of life while having a sense of collective responsibility for all who inhabit the globe. The student receives an engraved plaque with the student's name, a travel wallet and a certificate issued by the EARCOS.
