Vision & Mission

School ethos

We place a strong emphasis on the integrity of students. Teachers are strict but compassionate and teach students with patience. In the latest report of External School Review, we received high appreciation as follows: School puts priority in caring for students, strongly believes students can distinguish the right from wrong, they are willing to learn and can be changed. Principal and teachers care students and guide them steps by steps, aiming at giving students to experience of success and helping them to build up confidence. In turn, they can have stronger motivation to learn. School enriches students’ learning experience with a wide range of extra-curricular activities, inter-school competitions and cross-border learning. Students are encouraged to strive for excellence both inside and outside of classroom. Teachers and students, therefore, build up a strong bond with mutual trust and respect. Such a caring learning atmosphere enhances students’ sense of belonging to school. Parents also appreciate the school’s support and care for their children. Teachers have strong team spirit and offer mutual support. Middle managers also set good role models and are willing to take up responsibilities. School has successfully laid a strong foundation in managing and nurturing students and will continue to help students cultivate good learning habits and strengthen moral education.

Vision & mission

Buddhist Ho Nam Kam college provides high-quality education. We nurture students with the teaching of Buddhism, prioritizing the cultivation of good character and positive attitudes. We are committed to upholding the school motto of "Enlighten with Wisdom, Manifest with Compassion" and contributing to society and the nation.
