Cheung Chau Government Secondary School (Chinese: 長洲官立中學) is a government-operated secondary school located on the outlying island of Cheung Chau, Hong Kong. The school was founded in 1908[1] by Chinese-American Wu Songyiu.[citation needed] It uses Chinese as the medium of instruction for all subjects except English language.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]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]
The school was originally a primary school, until 1961 when it was converted into a secondary school and renamed to its current name.[4]
Historical conservation
[edit | edit source]During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in World War II, the red-brick school building served as the Japanese military headquarters. It has been listed as a Grade II historic building since 18 December 2009 and is one of six existing pre-war government school buildings in Hong Kong.[1][5]
