Fun Facts about Cheung Chuk Shan College
Principal Au Chun Keung

To commemorate the Golden Jubilee of our Principal’s Message
School, the Gallery of School History was opened on
7 December 2018. Though some fabulous exhibits
are on display there, they just represent a portion of
the memorable past of the school. In fact, the history
of CCSC can also be unveiled in not only some
parts of the campus but also the school documents,
publications, photos and other items stored inside the
Principal’s Office.

adopted until early 1970.
