CKPC organizes one High Table Dinner each semester, allowing college students to experience formal social events and engage in a theme speech or demonstration promoting one or more of the seven competencies of college education. Many students volunteer to serve in High Table Dinner tasks, thereby gaining experiences in the organization of a large-scale formal event. Please refer to this page for dress code.
CKPC follows “High Table Dinner 2.0” process (the total number of attendees is about 170~200):
- A reception will be held in the inner courtyard at 6 pm, with a thematic backdrop for students and guests to take formal photos
- Formal entrance of guests begins at 7 pm. During the dinner, the guests at the high table will be served by specially trained students from the college, while the other students will enjoy the buffet dinner
- Before or after the dinner, the guest speaker will give a keynote speech or live demonstration (about 30 minutes, including Q&A)
- After the dinner, all the students moved to the Athena Square for the theme party

曹光彪書院“高桌晚宴2.0”模式流程（出席總人數約170~200）:
- 晚上六時在書院內庭設招待會，並設主題佈景板，供同學和來賓作正裝攝影
- 七時開始進場，晚宴時，高桌來賓由書院特派同學伺候，其餘同學則自助用餐
- 晚宴前或後，主講嘉賓作主題演講和現場演示（約30分鐘，連問答）
- 晚宴後，全體同學移師到書院雅典娜廣場，揭開主題晚會
This is a conscious choice after balancing expense, food experience, and alternative options. For a full-service dinner, the extra service fees increase the per capita spending by 30% or so. On the other hand, our experiences showed that the vendor’s table service typically does not match that of a upscale restaurant. The food quality and quantity often times suffer. With a buffet dinner and without the extra service fees, we are able to spend more on food quality and variety.
We can also use the remaining funds to rent a backdrop, which gives great photographic experiences for students in formal attire. Additional leftover funds may also be used on other college activities, further enriching student’s overall experiences.
這是在平衡費用、美食體驗和其他選擇之後的選擇。若選擇全套服務的晚餐，額外的服務費會使人均支出增加30%左右。 另一方面，我們的經驗表明，供應商的餐桌服務通常未能達到高檔餐廳的服務水準。反而，食物的品質和數量卻會受到影響。 採取自助餐模式的話，由於沒有額外的服務費，我們可以在食品品質和品種上做得更好。
我們也可以用剩餘的資金租借背景板，為穿著正裝的學生提供更好的拍照體驗。 額外的剩餘資金也可以用於其他書院活動，進一步豐富學生的整體經驗。
In November 2023, Macau’s “Alcohol Control Law” became effective. It prohibits serving alcoholic beverages to anyone under 18. Since the College typically has students under 18 participating in High Table Dinner, wine is not served in order to be compliant with the law [reference link].
2023年11月，澳門《控酒法》生效，禁止向 18 歲以下的任何人提供酒精飲料。由於書院通常有未滿18歲的同學參加高桌晚宴，因此為了遵守法律，不在晚宴提供酒。[參考鏈接]
