Sing Yin Secondary School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sing Yin Secondary School (聖言中學, literally Divine Word Secondary School) is a boys' school located in Lam Tin, Hong Kong. It was established in 1970. It has 5 classes in Form 1 - 5 and 3 classes from form 6 - 7. The principal is Kwok But.
Sing Yin Secondary School was established in 1970 by the Divine Word Missionaries. It is a subsidized school for boys. Our mission is to empower students to live a full life as understood in the light of John 10:10 - “I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full.” Three years ago, we also affirmed our vision - we aim to provide one of the best educations in the world with a global perspective for boys in the local community.
At the beginning, our students were mostly Band 3 and Band 2 students. Through the efforts of the former Principals, Father H.P. Canavan and Ms. Wong Wai Yein and our teachers, we have been providing optimal care for our students and our educational outcome has been improving steadily. We have good results in public examinations. We have excellent value added performance. Our achievement in extracurricular activities is outstanding. Above all, our students share our values and behave well. As a result, all the students allocated to Sing Yin have been all Band 1 students since the early 1980s.

[edit] Mission and vision
"I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full." John 10:10
Sing Ying Secondary School, which has its origin in the mission of the Roman Catholic
Church, has as its fundamental goal the complete and integral human development
of each student: mind and spirit, body and emotion
(as understood in the light of John 10:10).
Sing Yin is committed to helping students to live a "full life" by: promoting the spiritual and moral, intellectual and emotional, cultural, social and physical development of the students;
Preparing our students for the challenges and responsibilities of adult life;
Guiding our students, in the spirit of our school motto"克明峻德", to discover Christian values and beliefs, and the meaning of life.
Guided by the mission and goals, it is hoped that through the direction of the School Management Committee, the effort of the teachers and other staff members, the support of the parents, alumni and the community, Sing Yin will be able to provide one of the best educations in the world with a global perspective for boys in the local community.
