Cheung Chau Government Secondary School, located in Cheung Chau, is a government Chinese secondary school in Hong Kong. The history of the school can be traced back to 1908,[1] founded by the American overseas Chinese Wu Songyiu.

A primary school run by the government in Cheung Chau, it was later converted into a five-year grammar school in 1961 and renamed Cheung Chau Government Secondary School .[2]

History

In the early days of the school's founding, the training hall at Daxin 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.[3]

In 1961, the primary school section was closed, the secondary school entrance examination course was introduced, and the school was renamed Cheung Chau Government Secondary School.[2]

Historical conservation

The red-brick school building served as the Japanese military headquarters during World War II. It is now listed as a Grade II historic building and is one of the six existing pre-war government school buildings.[1]
