Cswcss All-Round Education Foundation

CSWCSS ALL-ROUND EDUCATION FOUNDATION Cheung Sha Wan Catholic English Secondary School (CSWCSS) was founded in 1970, and has entered its 50th anniversary in a blink of an eye. CSWCSS has always adhered to the belief in quality teaching. The development and achievements in various fields such as art are obvious to all. Graduated alumni still adhere to the spirit of the school motto of "unstoppable self-improvement". Quality education enables students to improve their competitiveness. Schools need the full support of various stakeholders to help improve teaching effectiveness and promote diversified education, so that more students can develop their strengths. In addition, whole-person education is the general trend, which requires a lot of additional and stable resources. Whole-person education not only cultivates students' development in many aspects, including morality, intelligence, physique, social group, and beauty; CSWCSS is also determined to develop youth leadership training, hoping that they can pass on this spirit to other students in the school, and use their lives to influence lives. Let them give back to the society and their alma mater after graduating in the future, so as to achieve the effect of passing on fire from generation to generation, and sow excellent seeds for the long-term future. CSWCSS is located in Sham Shui Po District. Many students come from grassroots families. We must not let them lose their studies and opportunities for upstream because of their financial ability. In view of this, under the promotion of successive principals, the "CSWCSS All-Round Education Foundation" was officially established on October 27, 2018 to assist CSWCSS in fully implementing whole-person education. After a long application process and complicated procedures,"CSWCSS All-Round Education Foundation" was finally officially notified by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department on July 15, 2020 as a Hong Kong charity organization, and an official

The Yeh Family Philanthropy

The Yeh Family Philanthropy (YFP) is a Hong Kong based family foundation with the mission of “Collaborating to reimagine learning systems for the development of youth potential." YFP's program portfolio supports education development focusing on social emotional learning (SEL) in Hong Kong and early childhood in China. YFP adds value beyond funding, having patiently scaled programs through grantmaking, and in developing our own programs. We seek to create systems-level impact - through deeper understanding of the systems in which we operate, forging alliances across sectors toward shared system views, and nurturing promising, evidence-based solutions. We believe SEL to be a critical tool to address the current and future needs for all learners in Hong Kong, to help them achieve personal and professional fulfilment. We also believe that engaging parents and providing quality interventions during the crucial early days of a child’s life can have tremendous impact on their subsequent development, contributing to educational equality between rural and urban China.

Social S 體育係
