Po Leung Kuk Tsing Yi Secondary School (Skill Opportunity) (Chinese: 保良局青衣中學(技能訓練)) was a skill opportunity secondary school on the Tsing Yi Island in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It was the skill opportunity school founded by Po Leung Kuk in 1998. At its opening ceremony, Anson Chan, the then-Acting Chief Executive of Hong Kong, gave an opening speech on 5 March, 1999.
The school was closed in 2004 when the Hong Kong Government decided to close all skill opportunity schools and the building was transferred to Tung Wah Group of Hospitals for a new primary school, TWGHs Chow Yin Sum Primary School, in 2005.
Famous quotes containing the words school and/or secondary:
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
