Sing Yin Secondary School 3.73

Sing Yin Secondary School ( SYSS; Chinese: 聖言中學) is a Catholic boys' EMI secondary school located at 38 New Clear Water Bay Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, and was founded in September 1970 under the sponsorship of the Divine Word Missionaries. It's was built and administered by Rev. Fr. Patrick Canavan who was its principal and supervisor for more than twenty years. Under Fr. Canavan's able leadership, Sing Yin quickly developed into a top quality school where students can receive a good, all-around education.

Sing Yin Secondary School gets its name from the Bible. The Gospel of John opens with the words "In the beginning was the Word". This "Word" refers to the Sons of God who became man in the person of Jesus Christ. For Christian, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Sing Yin is a Catholic school and, following the teaching of Jesus, special emphasis is given to moral education and community service. In this way, Sing Yin aims to give its students the best possible set of values by which to live a meaningful life and, at the same time, to become true pillars of society.

Houses

At the time of admission, each student is appointed to join one of the four houses randomly. Every year, the four houses compete with one another in the annual big competitions such as Sports Day, Swimming Gala and Music Contest, to see which house would be the annual overall champion. The Houses' names are as follows:

Red House (R)
Blue House (B)
Green House (G)
Yellow House (Y)
