Po On Commercial Association – Wong Siu Ching Secondary School
Since 2002 we give scholarships every year to two secondary school students from grass root families consisting of a summer English programme in England. It is highly appreciated by the club members and we have put more focus to motivate these students from low income families to have the chance to have an adventure based learning experience in England. As a result the school has raised from Band 3 to Band 1 and will soon become a EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) school.
