Pui Oi School

History

Our school, formerly known as Pui Oi Club for Children, was founded in 1965, serving physically handicapped children. It was renamed as Pui Oi Special Training Centre in the early 1970s and was financed by the Social Welfare Department. In 1979, our school became one of the first batch of registered special schools under and subsidised by the Education Department and has been officially named as the Hong Kong Christian Service Pui Oi School since then. The temporary school premises located on the second floor of Princess Alexandra Community Centre in Tsuen Wan was later moved to Hin Fat Lane in Tuen Mun in 1997.

After many years of planning and preparation, the school premises and hostel at Hang Kwai Street in Tuen Mun have been put into service since September and December 2014 respectively.
