Pui Ying Secondary School

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: The School primarily adopts mother-tongue teaching and focuses on enhancing our students' competency in English. The English department strives to promote an English learning environment, such as organising Summer Immersion Programmes in Vancouver and the UK, to provide more opportunities for students to be exposed to English. Putonghua lessons are arranged in junior forms to nurture the fluency in Putonghua and raise their confidence in communicating with others.

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 practises Faith, Hope and Love in Christ to achieve students’ full potential. In order to enable students to strive for excellence, we are committed to promoting students’ moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual development through whole-person education.
