The article notes that Shau Kei Wan Government Secondary School is "a prestigious school in the Eastern District" where the previous year 162 students sat for the DSE exam. Almost 80% of its Form 6 students choose to attend postsecondary institutions. The school teaches all subjects in English with the exception of Chinese language, Chinese history, Mandarin, and general education. It has "a special English extensive reading program". Its library houses numerous English comics and magazines for checkout by students. It has a "reading ambassador program" that frequently puts on speeches and debate contests. Teachers who came from other countries lead after-school lessons to strengthen students' English language skills. The article spends several more paragraphs discussing the school.

  The article discusses Shau Kei's volleyball team. From Google Translate, "If the Shau Kei Wan Government High School is mentioned in the academic volleyball arena, fans may immediately remember the "golden generation" of the school's men's volleyball team in the 15/16 season in the D1 school in Hong Kong and Kowloon. However, the two runner up women's volleyball team did not let the female volleyball team win this season. Although they were both runner-ups in D1 with the men's volleyball team, they became the only school in the past 10 years where both men's and women's volleyball teams can reach the finals in D1."

Keep as per Cunards excellent find in sources. Personally speaking I would've liked to have seen more than just China Post however there is a Hong Kong Economic Times included. Meets SCHOOL & GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 01:16, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I have beefed up the article a little bit. In addition to Cunard's finds, there should be more material in historic (pre-1990s) SCMP issues and in Chinese-language sources. I will dig deeper when I have more time. BTW, just to prevent any confusion, I believe that the "Shau Kei Wan Government Secondary Technical School" mentioned in one of the above sources does not refer to this school, but rather is the former name of the neighbouring Shau Kei Wan East Government Secondary School (PDF in Chinese noting former name of SKWEGSS).

Thank you for your improvements to the article and for the correction regarding the source that discusses Shau Kei Wan East Government Secondary School. I have stricken it from the list of sources. Cunard (talk) 07:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
