Father Cucchiara Memorial School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Father Cucchiara Memorial School (Traditional Chinese:郭怡雅神父紀念學校) is a catholic primary school established by Sisters Announcers of the Lord (Traditional Chinese:顯主女修會) in Cheung Ching Estate, Tsing Yi Island of Hong Kong in 1977. Catholic Church started to be in-charge of the school in 1987.
The Sisters Announcers of the Lord named the school to memorise the Reverend Joseph Cucchiara's great contribution to their rebuilt, and his service in Hong Kong and southern China.
The School is divided into A.M. school and P.M. school. Two school are gradually merging into one whole-day school as the birth rate decreases siginificantly in Hong Kong.

[edit] School Song
The school had no school song at the beginning. In the mid 1980s, the then-headmastress Sister Mary Gertrude Tai (戴振容) and the Reverend Clement Kong Hak-moon (江克滿) wrote a Chinese school song (sung in Cantonese). The lyrics is by the sister and melody by the father.
The lyrics are:
