School Motto

• 'Thou art the light of the world' (爾乃世之光) (Matthew 5:14)

School Song

• English Version

We sing of a school where we're happy as can be,

of course, we mean Chan Kwong;

In our work and in our play, we're as good as we can be,

For the glory of Chan Kwong.

For the glory of Chan Kwong we'll live,

For the glory of Chan Kwong;

In the days that are to be , We'll be good as we can be,

For the glory of Chan Kwong.

In the days that have gone by, there were keepers of the light,

Good keepers at Chan Kwong;

And in the coming time, we too will keep the light,

keep it shining for Chan Kwong.
