  • Location - The campus is located in a quiet and green haven of Hong Kong, surrounded by trees, mountains, and the beach, whilst simultaneously being only a short commute from the fast-paced skyscraper districts of the city.

The activities are mostly student-led and include Community Service (i.e. Coral Monitoring, Working with Domestic Workers, Animal Rescue), Arts (i.e. Cooking for Healthy Lifestyle, Dragon Dance, Debate, Circus), Physical Activities (i.e. kayaking, hiking, camping and rock climbing), Campus Service (i.e First Aid group, Audio Visual team, Campus Ecologists, and Synergy magazine), China Week and Project Week, Cultural Evenings, Educational Peace Programs, Orientation Week.

Campus and Facilities  

UWC LPC is a 100% residential community. Students live in 4 residences on campus, each of them sharing a room with three other students. Whenever possible, rooms are composed of two second year and two first year students, two from Hong Kong and two from different overseas regions. All full-time teaching staff live on campus and are tutors. The tutors and the tutor groups are important lines of support providing guidance, a ‘home away from home’ atmosphere, a shoulder to cry in time of need and a group with whom to share good news. The campus also includes a sports hall, assembly hall, swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court, canteen, library, classrooms, and laboratories.

Geographic Setting  

Situated in a beautiful setting in Ma On Shan, and overlooking the waters of Starfish Bay and Tolo Harbour, the school campus is less than 10 minutes’ walk from Wu Kai Sha MTR station, making its location very convenient.
