As a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) school that does not participate in the Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System, the school manages its Secondary One admissions independently. Parents should apply directly to the school and refer to its official website for application dates, admission criteria, required documents and interview arrangements. Applicants are not restricted by school net. Parents who accept an offer from the school will be required to complete the relevant confirmation procedures and give up any subsidised Secondary One place available through the SSPA System.

School Mission & Governance

We envisage our school as a learning community where quality education, based on Christian beliefs and values, is offered in a joyful and stimulating setting. We believe that the foundation of this learning community is based on the joint partnership among teachers, parents and students. We also believe that students should take an active role in serving and caring for their community. Social service training is given to all students in the YHKCC. They are required to serve in the school and community every year to develop a sense of personal responsibility and a dedication to fostering social welfare.
