Heep Yunn School, Grade III historic girls' secondary school in Kowloon City District, Hong Kong

Heep Yunn School occupies a site on Farm Road in Ma Tau Wai. Its white main building stands behind a gateway whose beam reads "HEEP YUNN SCHOOL" with "1936" beneath and four Chinese characters on the right column. A metal gate and a curved staircase sit between the gateway columns. The Main Building and St. Clare Chapel are Grade III historic buildings.

The school formed in 1936 when the Church Missionary Society combined Fairlea School, founded in 1886, with Victoria Home and Orphanage from 1887. In 2012 it joined the Direct Subsidy Scheme, allowing greater independence in school management.

The name "Heep Yunn" means "cooperation in grace", joining the two merged schools under God's grace; the motto reads "協力藉恩,信主愛群". Each year on the third Sunday of January, students build stalls and design games for a public fun fair. The school song, in Chinese only, uses the melody of "Forty Years On", written for Harrow School.

The campus entrance is at 1 Farm Road in Ma Tau Wai, marked by a white gateway inscribed "HEEP YUNN SCHOOL" and "1936", with a metal gate and a curved staircase between its columns. The school is a working secondary school, so the grounds are not open to the public; the gateway and main building can be seen from the street. The annual student-run fun fair, held on the third Sunday of January, is the occasion when outsiders are admitted.

The gateway on Farm Road carries the school's name and the year 1936 in black capitals, with four Chinese characters on the right column. The foundation stone of the Farm Road campus was laid on 23 October 1936 by Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott, and the school was dedicated on 19 May 1937 by Bishop Mok Shau Tsang.
