Summer Issue 2016 News for Students, by Students WELCOME BACK!
Hello Readers, the summer holidays are fast approaching but before we wind down another year at CYC, let’s take a look at what our
students have been doing since our last issue. In this edition, you can get to know our new NET, Mr. Dunlea. You can also get some study
tips for the upcoming final exams from our top students. We’ve included some of the winners from the writing competitions and you can
find out what your fellow schoolmates have been doing both inside and outside our school. We also invite you to guess the winners of the
Chuen Yuen’s Got Talent show. So there’s bound to be an article that interests you.
Mr. Dunlea was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1978. He is one of
three children. His older sister is a lawyer and his older
brother is a psychiatrist. His father is a retired
accountant and his mother works as a part-time tour guide
and housewife.
After leaving school, he studied a Bachelor of Arts in psychology for 4 years
including one year living in Madrid, Spain. He thought the course was interesting but
later decided he didn’t want to pursue it as a career. Instead, he went to Sydney,
Australia for a year and got a job as a travel agent!
He returned to Dublin after a year and continued working in
a travel agency. Later, he heard about an opportunity to
teach English in Japan and decided to apply. Luckily, he was
accepted on the programme and moved to Osaka where he
learned a lot about Japanese culture and language and finally
decided what he wanted to do with his life: teach English to
foreigners! Do you know the Hello Song? Watch this funny
video of Mr. Dunlea teaching this song to Japanese kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIIxdH3Uewg
Then, he heard from a friend who was living in Hong Kong about the chance to
work as a Native English-speaking Teacher there. Chinese culture had always
interested him so he decided to apply and landed a teaching position with
Buddhist Sin Tak College, just down the road from Chuen Yuen College!
He worked in BSTC for 4 years as their NET and during that time took French
classes in the evening. In his first lesson, he met his future wife - his classmate!
She is from Guangdong province (so please don’t tell him if you dislike

Spain once again. A few months ago, he heard that a school called Chuen Yuen was
