Cheung Chuk Shan College


Cheung Chuk Shan College is an aided, whole-day co-educational grammar secondary school founded in Hong Kong in 1969 by a group of philanthropists of the Five Districts Business Welfare Association. The School is named after Mr. Cheung Chuk Shan, a famous merchant in South China in the early 20th century. The school motto,“Competent, Conscientious, Studious & Creative”, bears the initials of the school name “CCSC”. It is engraved in the school badge and expresses the four indispensable qualities expected to be cultivated in its students' pursuit towards whole-person development.
