HPH Dock School Programme
The HPH Dock School Programme aims to match
“a school to each port”. In Hong Kong, HPH Trust adopts
two local schools through which it provides scholarships
and other educational initiatives.
Tsuen Wan Trade Association Primary School was the
frst school to be part of this programme. It was adopted
in 1992. Since then, HIT has presented annual scholarship
awards to students who demonstrate outstanding
academic performance. HIT also sponsors special classes
to help local students improve their English-language
abilities, and to help South Asian students raise their
Chinese-language abilities.
Building upon the success of Tsuen Wan Trade
Association Primary School, CCC Chuen Yuen College
was adopted in 1999. HIT focused on providing
information technology courses and supporting green
initiatives at this middle school to promote IT and
environmental protection awareness among the younger
generation.
More recently, HIT adopted Hong Kong Institute
of Vocational Education (“Tsing Yi IVE”) as their
Dock School. HIT sponsored this year’s Final Year
Project Competition organised by the IVE Business
Administration Department, as well as the contest
organised by Tsing Yi IVE for secondary school students.

For eight consecutive years, YICT has been organising
exchange programmes for Dahaicun Hope Primary
School, located in Shilin County of South China’s Yunnan
Province. Every summer, YICT invites ten top-performing
students from the school to attend YICT Summer Camp
in Shenzhen. The students tour the terminal of YICT,
visit SZU, and scenic spots in the city. All these
experiences have broadened the students’ learning
horizons.
YICT also arranges for two teachers from the school to
attend a two-week seminar at Shenzhen Tianxin Primary
School. This programme is credited with attracting
outstanding teachers to join, and more students to
register, at the school.
