Auditorium

The Auditorium is a large auditorium reserved for house meetings, various other events like annual concerts, orchestra practices, opening ceremonies, closing ceremonies and most commonly, assemblies on Friday.

The whole of the Primary and Secondary divisions can be seated into the auditorium by themselves, but not them together.

According to the CKY's internal documents, the auditorium has a total gross area of 1680 m², or around 18083.4 ft², the second largest area of the school, after the carpark.

## Layout and Description

There is the main section, which slowly rises up, step by step, from the first floor to the second floor, and a relatively small balcony on the same level as the fifth floor. There are in total three main exits and three secondary exits, not including the backstage ones. There are three large columns of rows of chairs and many main rows of chairs for both sections (the main section and the auditorium balcony). The main exits are all on the left side, while the secondary exits are all on the right side. The sides of the Auditorium are lined with straight, tall, thin blue lights sparsely. The front wall of the balcony also has a similar blue light pattern, as observed in the image on the top right. The walls of the Auditorium are similar to wood planks, but are smooth and decorated with engraved straight line patterns.

### The Exits

There are two main exits and two other secondary exits in the main section, one main and one secondary exit for each level (the first and second floors).

The main exit on the first floor of the main section leads to the glass room with the Auditorium Female Toilet, while the secondary exit on the first floor of the main section leads to the fifth stairwell and the Auditorium Male Toilet. At the bottom of the fifth stairwell, there is a corridor, which is believed to end at an exit facing the back of the swimming pool at the area behind the swimming pool where all the green rubbish carts are stored, on the far left, near the staircase leading down to the building. This door, if closed, cannot be accessed again from the outside, as it will lock. There are recycling bins at the end of this corridor, and a separating small corridor with a staircase that takes one down to a door that leads inside the swimming pool, on the side of the main entrance into the swimming pool from the changing rooms.

The main exit on the second floor of the main section leads to the main corridor outside the general office. The secondary exit on the second floor of the main section leads to the sixth stairwell, which is connected to the auditorium balcony and the ground floor, in an area behind the swimming pool where all the green rubbish carts are stored.

The fourth stairwell can be accessed through a door in the passage between the Auditorium and the glass room, or the backstage left (from the audience) corridor. The fourth stairwell connects to the back of both staff rooms, the back of the general office, the instrument rooms corridor, the reading area outside the library and the second floor (balcony) of the library.

There is a secondary and main exit for the auditorium balcony. The main exit of the balcony leads out to the main corridor of the fifth floor. The secondary exit of the balcony leads to the sixth stairwell, which is connected to the Auditorium main section second-floor secondary exit and the ground floor, in an area behind the swimming pool where all the green rubbish carts are stored.

### The Stage

The stage is a large stage. There are dark purplish-blue curtains on both sides, which can close to separate a shallow section of the stage. A large grand piano is stored on the left side of the stage, from the audience. There is one exit for both sides of the backstage.

The backstage exit on the right (from the audience) leads back to the fifth stairwell, connecting it to the secondary exit on the first floor of the main section and the auditorium male toilet. At the bottom of the fifth stairwell, there is a corridor, which is believed to end at an exit facing the back of the swimming pool at the area behind the swimming pool where all the green rubbish carts are stored, on the far left, near the staircase leading down to the building. This door, if closed, cannot be accessed again from the outside, as it will lock. There are recycling bins at the end of this corridor, and a separating small corridor with a staircase that takes one down to a door that leads inside the swimming pool, on the side of the main entrance into the swimming pool from the changing rooms.

The backstage entrance on the left (from the audience) leads to a corridor with many changing rooms, both male and female, with some being used as storage rooms temporarily. This corridor ends at an exit to the right basketball court, and the fourth stairwell also ends at the bottom there. The fourth stairwell connects to the back of both staff rooms, the back of the general office, the instrument rooms corridor, the reading area outside the library and the second floor (balcony) of the library. One is able to access the fourth stairwell without leaving the area inside the door.

There is a large plaque spanning the entire width of the stage on the top of the stage facing the audience with the PLKCKY badge and a name. There is an area on the right side of the backstage (from the audience) where all the mics and computers for the projector and all the supporting technology is stored and controlled. There is a big screen that is hung down, with a projector near the top of the first large corridor between the rows of seats in the middle large column (the one that directly connects to the main section second floor main and secondary exits) from the back onwards, which projects onto the screen. the projector can be lowered or raised. The Projection Room is at the back of the auditorium balcony. There are two large spotlights on both sides of the front of the auditorium balcony.

There are two staircases, one on the left and one on the right, that lead up to the stage from the 'ground floor'.

There is a glass elevator on the left side of the stage, which leads from the 'ground floor' to the backstage area. It is next to the left (from the audience) staircase.

### The Seats

The seats of the Auditorium have plush seating, panelled back,s and wooden armrests. There are three large columns of rows of chairs and many main rows of chairs for both sections (the main section and the auditorium balcony). The rows are numbered on each columns' side chairs, both left and right, with letters on a round metal plate. Each chair is also labeled with numbers on a small round metal plate at the back of the chairs. The numbers restart for each main row (not separated by the large columns). They come in three colours and three different rarities respectively.

 Blue
 Light Purple/Violet

It is a common belief that the more rare the chair according to the table above, the softer the chair is. For example, light purple/violet chairs are really soft, and the common dark blue chairs are less soft. But, there is no evidence supporting this belief.

There are a few 'hybrid' chairs at the back of the main section. The seats and backs of these chairs have different colours.

## The Balcony

The Balcony has a steep staircase with about ten rows of chairs. The chairs are also separated into three columns. The top exit leads to the left end of the main corridor of the fifth floor. The Projection Room is at the top of the balcony, at the back. The Sixth Stairwell can be accessed on the right side (from the audience) of the bottom of the Balcony.
