Introduction

Pei Chun Public School is a government-aided Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school with a long and distinguished history. The school's mission is to nurture students to be bilingual and bicultural citizens who are rooted in values. Its educational philosophy is guided by its motto of "Sincerity and Perseverance."

As a SAP school, Pei Chun provides an immersive environment for the learning of both English and Chinese, fostering a deep appreciation for both cultures. Its holistic curriculum is enhanced by an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in computational thinking and a Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in the arts. These programmes aim to develop well-rounded individuals with a strong moral character and a passion for lifelong learning.

A Brief Historical Background

Established in 1933 by a group of Hainanese merchants, Pei Chun Public School began as a Chinese-medium school to provide education for the children of the Chinese working class.
