Heep Yunn School

What Heep Yunn School does

Heep Yunn School is a Christian secondary school for girls located at 1 Farm Road, Ma Tau Wai, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Founded in 1936 by the Church Missionary Society, the school operates under Hong Kong's Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) and serves students from Form One through Form Six, delivering a Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) curriculum with electives including Chinese Literature, BAFS, Tourism and Hospitality Studies, ICT, Visual Arts, Music, and multiple foreign languages (French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish). Co-curricular offerings span athletics (notably swimming), music (symphonic band, school choir), drama, debating, Girl Guides, Christian Fellowship, and a student-led Prefects Team and Student Association.

The school's signature non-academic program is the Personal Growth Programme (PGP), a form-structured experiential learning curriculum that combines life-skills training, cultural exchanges to Guangzhou and Guizhou, careers exploration, and overseas tours to Okinawa. Technology infrastructure centers on eClass IP, a learning management system with OTP authentication delivered to teachers, students, and parents via dedicated apps, supplemented by a Wise Search research resource. Strategic partnerships include the HYS Family network (Heep Yunn Private Kindergarten and Heep Yunn Primary School as feeders), the Education Bureau as regulator, HKFYG Jockey Club Sai Kung Outdoor Training Camp for PGP activities, and Diocesan Boys' School as a venue partner.

Heep Yunn generates revenue primarily through annual DSS school fees of HKD $39,160 per student for Forms 1-6 (2023-2024), supplemented by a tax-deductible donation program with naming rights and ancillary event income. A multi-tier Fee Remission Scheme (25%/50%/75%/100% waivers) supports CSSA/SFO-eligible families. The school is governed by The Council of Heep Yunn School, with Ms. Bella Leung serving as Headmistress. Admission is selective, weighted 40% on written assessment and interview, 20% on academic performance, 20% on co-curricular activities, and 20% on conduct. The institution has no disclosed external equity ownership, no subsidiaries, and operates exclusively within Hong Kong.
