You’re Almost There

Composer: Mr NG Cheuk-yin

Lyricist: YUEN Ellen of Munsang College

This motivational song, performed by KIM Ian of Ying Wa College, and TSANG Hui-lam and YUEN Ellen of Munsang College, is produced to cheer for the 2023 HKDSE Examination candidates. In preparation for this performance, a pop singing programme was offered to these students, the winners of the SOW Creative Singing Contest (SOW), to refine their singing skills under the guidance of a professional vocal coach. Ellen, who wrote the lyrics of the song, was also invited to participate in a lyrics writing programme conducted by a professional lyricist to enhance her lyrics writing skills.

SOW, jointly organised by the English Language Education Section and the Arts Education Section of the Curriculum Development Institute, the Education Bureau (EDB) in the 2021/22 school year, aimed to nurture students’ positive values and attitudes and support cross-curricular language learning. With the commissioned melodies provided by the EDB, student-participants wrote lyrics and performed their songs in English.
