School hymn
We build our school on Thee, O Lord, To Thee we bring our common need The loving heart, the helpful word, The tender thought, the kindly deed. We work together in Thy sight, We live together in Thy love: Guide Thou our faltering steps aright, And lift our thoughts to heaven above. Hold Thou each hand to keep it just, Touch Thou our lips and make them pure; If Thou art with us, Lord, we must Be faithful friends and comrades sure. We change but Thou art still the same, The same good Master, Teacher, Friend; We change, but, Lord, we bear Thy Name, To journey with it to the end. Dear Lord we pray, Thy Spirit may Be present in our school alway.Class structure

Tree pruning controversy
It was reported in the South China Morning Post on 7 May 2011 that the school was charged a fine of $200,000 for pruning a candlenut tree in an "unprofessional" way on campus, violating some terms in the tenancy agreement. After clarifying the issue and providing evidence to relevant government departments, the school was given retrospective consent to the pruning procedure, subject to payment of an administrative fee of $43,000 and agreeing to undertake tree restoration measures.
Direct Subsidy Scheme controversy
The college planned to apply to join the Direct Subsidy Scheme(DSS) in the early 2013. The idea sparked controversy and anger from concerned parents and alumni. On July 7, 2013, over 150 people participated in a widely reported protest in the rain against the college's plan to join the Direct Subsidy Scheme. In total, the college council has held over 30 information meetings with alumni, parents and other stakeholders, yet there was no clear consensus. Eventually on 19 August 2013, the college decided to cease its application to join the DSS.
