History and Background
Our school is a kindergarten directly under Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. It was founded in September 1945 as the affiliated Kindergarten of St. Paul’s Co-ed school. In September 1949, it was renamed to be St. Paul’s Private Kindergarten, and in September 1953, it was finally named to be Sheng Kung Hui Kindergarten. A branch school was established in September 1975 and was named Sheng Kung Hui Kindergarten (Mount Butler).
Relocation to Temporary Campus
In September 2012, the two schools moved out of their original premises to a temporary campus at 7 Eastern Hospital Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Upholding the school’s developmental goal of building on the past to open up the future, they embarked on the gradual and phased merger of the two schools.
By September 2014, the two schools were officially merged into one, named Sheng Kung Hui Kindergarten, continuing to uphold the Christian spirit of “not to be served, but to serve” and providing quality whole-person education for the children, allowing them to learn and grow in the love of Christ.
New Campus
The new campus is a well-equipped and eco-friendly campus that can inspire children’s diverse learning and potential. It is expected to be put into service in 2026, providing quality education for 720 students. In addition to the K1, K2 and K3 classes, pre-nursery section will be added to provide a complete 4-year preprimary service. The focus of the pre-nursery section is to cultivate children’s self-care and social development. Using a learning-through-play approach, children will develop knowledge, skills and attitudes in life.
The new campus is a 4-story building occupying an area of 4,292 square meters, with facilities including classrooms (16 in total), a multi-purpose hall, a sensory exploration room, an art room, a music room, a music sensory exploration room, a library, an indoor play area, an Information and technology room, an outdoor play area, a kitchen, offices and more. The new play and exploration areas allow children to have the opportunity to learn through meaningful multi-sensory experiences, enjoy learning, and develop a love for learning.
In addition to achieving the BEAM Plus Gold certification, the new campus is also pursuing the WELL Building Standard Gold certification. The design, construction and operation incorporate the concepts of “people-centric” and “sustainable development”, including regular testing and evaluation of air, water, nutrition, light, materials, activities, and noise levels, to comprehensively care for the physical and mental wellbeing of students, staff, and stakeholders.
