Education is about nurturing the whole child - our school embraces development of the child in the moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic spheres.

Our school is committed to providing a caring, harmonious and stimulating environment where children are joyful and secure enough to be able to work to the best of their ability.

Since 1996, the school has been run by Po Leung Kuk.

Since the school year 2000/2001, our school has become the pioneer DSS primary school in Hong Kong.
