| Wisdom in Action |
|
The motto of the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College, now in its tenth year, is "Wisdom in Action" and the school strives to enable its students to develop insight, values and a passion for learning that will last them a lifetime.
The College has come a long way since its founding a decade ago but its progress has been built on solid foundations. It places emphasis on long-term results rather than short-term gains, as do all the Federation's Education Services. They include three kindergartens and a primary school as well as the College and the message about lifelong education is underlined at the Continuous Learning Centre which runs over 300 courses.
Full information about the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College is at hlc.edu.hk
