[3] Due to unsatisfactory HKCEE results, Helen Tam was unable to be promoted to form 6, and she applied for courses in shipping engineering and constructions, but was rejected by both because she did not have enough weight.
As the talent training class of TVB was open for recruitment, she applied in the hope of learning magic, and she was subsequently enrolled.
[6] However, due to human resource decisions, in 2014, she was forced to relinquish her roles as a children TV host after her contract was not renewed, ending her 32-year tenure.
She played the role of a school principal in the "DSE Myth" series produced by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority.
