Description: Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (LPCUWC)
is one of 17 colleges that share the value and philosophy of the UWC
movement and the mission of UWC. Sharing a firm commitment
to diversity, LPCUWC is a boarding school that goes beyond being
“international”. We are a vibrant community interwoven by more than
250 students from over 80 different nationalities, cultures, and various
socio-economic backgrounds supported by scholarships. Living in a fully
residential college, students get to learn from and with friends of different
backgrounds in their shared living experiences.
Description: Tai Po Sam Yuk Secondary School (TPSY) has been faithfully
serving the young people and the community of the northern New
Territories since its establishment in 1956. This well-established tradition of
service enables us to hold our heads high and at the same time drives us to
reach out more widely and serve with an even stronger commitment.
