Controversies
Allegations of censorship Some students questioned the school of political censorship, including prohibiting students from wearing black and yellow surgical masks, which hold connotations to the pro-democracy protest movement. Violators would face the risk of receiving a "demerit" from the school. In the school yearbook, the school used blurry photos to cover the protest mascot "Pepe the Frog" wallpaper in the background. The school further specified that the scope of school regulations includes online behaviour outside school. Some students pointed out that the school has never explicitly prohibited students from participating in activities related to the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. After some senior students created a Lennon wall and posted materials related to the protest inside the classroom, senior staff asked students to remove them. In addition, the school had also repeatedly discouraged students from gathering in the campus to sing the song "Glory to Hong Kong" as well as yelling out the protest slogans. Moreover, the school regulations do not have a mask guideline that requires students to wear a "normal colour" mask defined by the school. Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School replied to Apple Daily stating that they did not revise the school guidelines and rules given to students, except that if students are found bullying others and other inappropriate behaviors in the Internet, they will follow up in accordance with the established guidance and assistance mechanism. For the issue of surgical masks, the school is in line with the school's usual principles of "simple dress and appearance". It is recommended that faculty and students should wear light-coloured surgical masks. They can also be obtained from the school office if necessary. It also emphasizes that school journals, school regulations, and epidemic prevention arrangements are all internal affairs of the school. COVID-19 test complaints The Stand News reports on February 9, 2021 that Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School requires all faculty and staff of the school to undergo regular COVID-19 test every two weeks without consulting the teachers beforehand. The school did not deny the relevant arrangements, but they replied that they did not receive any objection from colleagues. == References ==
