Po Leung Kuk No.1 W. H. Cheung College, secondary school in Hong Kong
Po Leung Kuk No.1 W. H. Cheung College is a secondary school in Wong Tai Sin District featuring modern facilities including science labs, computer rooms, and a library for student use. The campus contains classrooms, sports fields, a music room, and an art studio where students move between spaces throughout the school day.
Founded in 1971, the school was the first secondary institution opened by Po Leung Kuk, an organization dedicated to education and youth services in Hong Kong. A turning point came in 1994 when a donation from the Cheung Wing Hing Foundation allowed improvements, and the school was renamed in honor of the donor.
The school's name honors a major donor, reflecting the community's gratitude and values. Walking through the campus, you notice posters with the school's motto of love, respect, diligence, and sincerity displayed in classrooms and hallways, guiding how students and staff interact daily.
The school sits in a lively part of the district surrounded by shops and parks, making it easy for students to access nearby amenities during free time. Daily lessons are structured in 45-minute periods with breaks between classes, allowing students time to focus on subjects and socialize.
Many schools run by Po Leung Kuk share similar uniforms, making them occasionally hard to tell apart, yet alumni develop a clear sense of school identity. Graduates from this institution have gone on to hold important positions in government and the arts, showing how the school prepares students for their future paths.
