This season’s winner is …
This season’s winner is Capricorn, whose real name is Wong Hang-nam from Good Hope School.
After nine creative and challenging rounds, the 12-year-old’s relatable and empathetic writing won over our voters and editors.
Hang-nam is in touch with her classmates, as she showed in Round 5, when she described how the desire to fit in often led to a breakdown in respect among students, resulting in gossip and social exclusion. In Round 8, she expressed a deep desire to communicate with her cat in hopes that understanding the feline language would help her to meet her pet’s needs.
Congratulations to the first and second runners-up: Libra, Cedric Ng Yan-lun from Wah Yan College (Kowloon) and Cancer, Leah Lei Lok-ching from Cognitio College (Kowloon).
