Cheung Chau Government Secondary School
Cheung Chau Government Secondary School is a government-operated secondary school located on the outlying island of Cheung Chau, Hong Kong. The school was founded in 1908 by Chinese-American Ng Chung-hiu. It uses Chinese as the medium of instruction for all subjects except English language.
Due to insufficient enrollment in the area, the school will stop admitting new Secondary 1 and Secondary 4 students starting from the 2026/27 school year. It is set to merge with Tang Shiu Kin Victoria Government Secondary School in Wan Chai, with a final closure scheduled for the end of the 2028/29 school year. This marks the end of secondary education on the island, following the closure of Buddhist Wai Yan Memorial College in 2022.
History
In the early days of the school's founding, the training hall at Tai San Street was used as the school building. It was not until 1928 that the red-brick school building was completed and opened at its current location. The opening ceremony was presided over by the then-Secretary for Education, Woody Woods.The school was originally a primary school, until 1961 when it was converted into a secondary school and renamed to its current name.
Due to a declining student population and insufficient enrollment, the school is undergoing a phased closure and merger with Tang Shiu Kin Victoria Government Secondary School in Wan Chai. The plan, announced by the Education Bureau, will see the school stop admitting new Secondary 1 and Secondary 4 students starting from the 2026/27 school year. The campus is scheduled for total closure at the end of the 2028/29 school year. This marks the definitive end of secondary education provision on Cheung Chau island, following the previous closure of Buddhist Wai Yan Memorial College in 2022.
