Establishment (1991) The College was established on 26 July 1991 as a co-educational college to focus on Hong Kong A-level Examinations. It was Hong Kong's first and only government-subsidised sixth form school, on the former premises of Po Leung Kuk Wu Chung College, which had relocated to
Sha Tin. In its first year, the school offered 16 disciplines. Use of English was the only compulsory module. The
social sciences stream offered economics, principles of accounts,
pure mathematics,
business studies, and
geography. Dr. Chan Siu Kui Darnay was the founding headmaster, previously having served as the head of Po Leung Kuk Tang Yuk Tien College in
Tuen Mun. It opened on 12 March 1992. The official
ceremony for graduation includes the speech days. The first speech day was held on 8 May 1993, officiated by Professor Gungwu Wang, CBE, then
vice-chancellor of
The University of Hong Kong. It developed into a tradition for the College's
founding father, His Excellency Sultan Vicwood KT Chong (MBE, JP, Doctor of Laws), to hand out diplomas to honourable graduates.
Academic Excellence The College became a symbol of academic excellence, Pass rates for all subjects have never been below the Hong Kong average, while credit rates for all subjects have been significantly above those of Hong Kong's since 1995. ==Education==
