Light and Shine 2030+
True Light Centenary Redevelopment Campaign For over 150 years, our School, founded in 1872 in Guangzhou, and established in Hong Kong in 1935, has provided an excellent and holistic Christian education where students are given an optimal environment and encouraged to strive for their best. Over the years, True Light has nurtured countless outstanding alumni who shine in different places around the world, serving the community and contributing to the betterment of the country. Today, The True Light Middle School of Hong Kong is a vibrant community of 2,000 students, comprising of a kindergarten, a primary and a secondary section. Our Mission True Light places preeminent emphasis on fostering students’ moral character and is committed to upholding the school motto “You are the Light of the World“. As a school with a long history, True Light not only preserves its excellent traditions but also keeps pace with the times and is courageous in innovating and reforming. The School is committed to providing the best education where our students embrace the school principles of building and creating, loving and serving the community, exhibiting self-discipline and sacrifice, and striving for excellence. The Challenge Having housed the kindergarten and primary school since 1955, we now have a building that has seen 70 years of service and is confronted with significant and costly maintenance. Moreover, the campus complex layout and its facilities have failed to meet the evolving needs of our students. Compounded by the issue of inadequate classroom space, the auditorium, sports ground, and gymnasium are stretched beyond capacity, and shared amongst the student body from all three sections. These critical issues underscore the urgent need for a comprehensive redevelopment to uphold and advance our educational mission. Building for the Future |
To meet these challenges, we are excited to announce the launch of our ambitious True Light Centenary Redevelopment Campaign.
Our vision is to breathe new life into our campus by demolishing the aging structures and constructing a state-of-the-art 8-story building. This new edifice will not only house sufficient and strategically organized classrooms but also foster connections between people and spaces. Features like the grand staircase will encourage interactions, while barrier-free access ensures that our school is welcoming to all.
The new building is designed with the future in mind, supporting a multitude of disciplines. It will be a hub where students can acquire digital knowledge, foster cognitive development, hone social skills, and appreciate music and art, nurturing global awareness. Beyond academics, the space will be a crucible for developing leadership, curiosity, creativity, well-being, motivation, and collaboration. We fully understand that the success of the True Light Centenary Redevelopment Campaign hinges on extensive support and contributions. As we approach the centennial of True Light’s foundation in Hong Kong, we extend our deepest gratitude to our heavenly Father for guiding us on the journey of the redevelopment project. While we recognize the challenges in cultivating support for such a bold initiative, our commitment to engaging with our potential benefactors and leveraging our broad network of alumni, both locally and globally, remains steadfast. With a heart full of gratitude, we invite you to join hands with us, to be part of this legacy of enlightenment. Your support is more than a contribution; it is a beacon that will light the way for generations of True Light bearers to come. May we all be inspired to carry the torch of True Light with pride, and may its glow reach far into 2030 and beyond, a shining symbol of our collective aspirations and dreams. |

香港真光中學百年重建計劃
自1872年在廣州創校以來,真光已走過了152年的輝煌歷程。在上帝的賜福下,香港真光中學在港建校也近90年。位於大坑道50號的校舍設有幼稚園、小學及中學,為逾二千名學生提供15年的優質基督教全人教育。多年來,我們栽培了無數傑出的校友,在世界各地發光發熱,服務社群,貢獻國家。
我們的使命
學校尤其重視學生的品格塑造,致力實踐校訓「爾乃世之光」的使命。作為一間歷史悠久的學校,真光不僅保存優良傳統,更與時俱進,勇於創新改革。
歷代的真光人都能秉持「創造建設、愛群服務、克己犧牲、力求完善」的辦學精神,不斷優化校內設施,在有限的空間與資源下不斷突破,矢志營造優越的學習環境,讓每一位學子茁壯成長,培養他們終身受用的技能和態度,迎接未來的挑戰。
當前校園面臨的挑戰
我們的幼稚園和小學校舍主要建於1955年,至今已近70年,建築結構日趨老化。每年維修費用高昂,且無法徹底解決問題。此外,現有教室數量不足,分布零散,無法滿足學生的學習需求。中、小、幼三部學生共用的空間,包括禮堂、運動場和體育館,使用率已經大大超出原有設計的標準。另外,早期建築沒有安裝升降機和配備無障礙設施,限制了校內的通行效率。這些問題都顯示校舍有重建的迫切需要。
願景與機遇
面對這些挑戰,我們殷切宣布,學校將啟動「百年重建計劃」。我們計劃拆除現有的小學和幼稚園教學樓,以建造一座全新的八層綜合教學大樓。這座新大樓將提供寬敞而佈局合理的教室,並解決三部校舍隔離和共用空間不足的問題,打造一個一體化、無障礙、鼓勵創新的學習環境。新設施將包括:
- 現代化的教室和特別室,配備最新教學科技。
- 多功能活動空間,以支持學生的藝術與文化發展。
- 擴大的運動設施,鼓勵學生參與體育活動,培養團隊精神。
- 綠化休憩區,為學生提供一個寧靜的學習和交流環境。
- 加入無障礙設計,確保校園的每個角落都能安全、方便地到達。
真光在港建校將迎向百周年,感謝上帝讓我們看到了真光的發展願景;縱然困難重重,我們定必盡心盡力完成大工。我們正呼籲各方、各界真光人和善長慷慨解囊;每一位的回應,都是傳承真光的力量,照亮真光百周年的新里程。我們期盼您的鼎力襄助,共創真光輝煌!
