PLK Wu Chung College

Medium of Instruction & Curriculum

Chinese is the primary Medium of Instruction (MOI).

Curriculum: Secondary education comprises three years of junior secondary and three years of senior secondary education leading to the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination.

Teaching Language Policy: We have two classes using English as the medium of instruction at each junior level. For other junior classes, Mathematics and Science are taught in English and therefore students' English proficiency can be greatly improved. Students are divided into small classes for the English lessons and there are altogether 33 teaching groups, which is conducive to individual counselling.

Secondary One Admission

The Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System is Hong Kong's official mechanism for distributing subsidized Secondary One places to primary school graduates. The allocation operates in two distinct, consecutive phases. First, the Discretionary Places (DP) stage allows students to apply directly to individual schools based on academic and interview merits. Second, remaining places are funneled into the Central Allocation (CA) stage, which is subdivided into Part A (unrestricted, territory-wide choices) and Part B (restricted, district-based choices). The table below summarises past years’ allocation figures, including DP places, Central Allocation Part A and Part B places, reserved places, and total places.

School Fees

This is an aided school, the most common type of secondary school in Hong Kong. Aided schools account for approximately 76% of all secondary schools and receive government funding to provide free secondary education. No school fee is charged. By comparison, around 12% are DSS schools, 6% are government schools, and 5% are private schools. Only DSS and private schools generally charge school fees.

School Mission & Governance

Our school motto is ‘Love, Respect, Diligence and Honesty’ and we adhere to the guiding principles of Po Leung Kuk to provide our students with an all-round education. Our emphasis on moral education helps nurture a love for life and sense of selflessness in our students. We work in the belief that our professional teachers can inspire students to attain perfection.

Year of Commencement of Operation: 1977
