Fanling Public School (粉嶺公立學校) is a primary school in Fanling, North District, New Territories, Hong Kong. It is in Fanling Village (or Fanling Wai) and near to the MTR train station.
The school was founded about 50 years ago. Before that, being known as the "Sze Tak Study Hall" (思德書室), it used to be a traditional private school for the Pang's family in the village. The school is intended to service the children of Fanling Village only, although it has extended to all children living in North District now. The current campus, of a size of 12,000 square metres, is just next to the old campus, which has become a historical place. The comfortable, tranquil, and beautiful campus is an ideal learning environment for the students.
The current principal of the school is Mr Li Shui Bor (李穗波先生).

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or school:
“Chippenhook was the home of Judge Theophilus Harrington, known for his trenchant reply to an irate slave-owner in a runaway slave case. Judge Harrington declared that the owner’s claim to the slave was defective. The owner indignantly demanded to know what was lacking in his legally sound claim. The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’”

“[How] the young . . . can grow from the primitive to the civilized, from emotional anarchy to the disciplined freedom of maturity without losing the joy of spontaneity and the peace of self-honesty is a problem of education that no school and no culture have ever solved.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
