New school campus, same Christian ethos
School Supervisor's Message
"Grace and peace be yours in abundance" (1 Peter 1:2b). On behalf of the Kowloon Tong Church of the Chinese Christian and Missionary Alliance (KTAC), I am delighted to share with you the reopening of Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) in August 2020. KTAC operates seventeen local and international schools in Hong Kong, and we are committed to providing a quality education for students in Hong Kong. I firmly believe that when we "train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6) Christian education provides a foundation for us to understand the beauty of God's creation, the needs of our soul, and the purposeful work of our life. Adopting the Alberta curriculum with English and Chinese as the medium of instruction, CAPCL aims for learners to be engaged thinkers and ethical citizens with an entrepreneurial spirit. We strive for engagement and personal excellence in our learning journey. As a small learning community, we discover, develop, and apply our learning to serve one another. We look forward to partnering with you in nurturing your beloved child. Blessings,
Mrs. Regina PeiSchool Supervisor
Head of School's WELCOME
Greetings to you from Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL)! I trust that the content of our website is informative and useful to you, drawing your interest to get involved in our learning community. We are all learners in this community regardless of our role or responsibilities. From a Biblical perspective, learners are disciples and disciple-makers. Inspiring a desire to learn and instilling an inquisitive attitude toward learning are our goals, as they are imperative to a purposeful and fulfilling life. Education draws out the potential of each learner. As a farmer believes in the potential of a seed and works diligently for the harvest, our school learning community strives to cultivate a nurturing environment, with holistic approaches, meeting the spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and intellectual needs of our learners. In addition to imparting knowledge to our learners and equipping them with skills, we also emphasize their character development. Psalm 1:2-3 is the scriptural basis of our school logo which sums up our learner profile. "His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers." It is our vision to extend God's kingdom with equipped disciples, faithful and fruitful, who grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Our mission is to develop Christ-like servant leaders who set examples in speech and behavior, in faith, love, and purity. They are prudent in their daily choices and wise in their critical decisions. They are independent, resourceful, and grounded in Biblical principles. Their achievements are evident, and they bring fruitful blessings to the society. Let us partner together on these inward and outward journeys: from a seed to a tree bearing fruit, from bearing fruit to more fruit, and from bearing more fruit to much fruit (John 15: 1-8). God’s blessings to you and your family! Warm Regards,
Dr. Cora HuiHead of School

SCHOOL LOGO & SCHOOL VERSES
Blessed is the man ... his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night.He is like a tree planted by streams of water,that yields its fruit in its season,and its leaf does not wither.In all that he does, he prospers.Psalm 1: 2-3
Blessed is the man ... his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates dayand night.He is like a tree planted by streamsof water,that yields its fruit in its season,and its leaf does not wither.In all that he does, he prospers.Psalm 1: 2-3
Blessings from God for those who grow in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and men are as follows:
Stability: When a tree is planted by streams of water, it keeps growing even in dry and trying seasons. It neither relies on rain nor moisture from the outside. The streams of water represent the Word of God. When we have the roots of our heart and soul into God’s Word, it gives us peace and courage in times of adversity and upheaval. Unshakable, the tree is an evergreen! Character: The tree bears fruit in season. The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23a). Rooted by streams of water, the tree takes in water and tastes the sweetness of the scripture. Over time, it changes our life. Delight: When we meditate on the law of the Lord day and night, it engages our mind, inclines our heart, and moves us through duty toward joy. Psalm 1:2-3 illustrate the lifestyle and destiny of a blessed man.

Holistic Education
Holistic education at Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) can be elaborated with 4Hs. They are Heart, Habits, Head, and Hands. As illustrated by the school logo, which is a tree rooted in streams of water, our teaching and learning are grounded in "heart-work". It is written that "keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life" (Proverb 4:23). How do our learners guard their heart from the distortion of pride and fear? It requires a humble heart. Humility allows us to have the right relationship with God, with self, and with others. A humble person has a healthy self-image, is teachable, and appreciates others’ strength. Humility makes room for one to learn from criticism, mistakes, and confrontation, as well as gives courage for one to take risks in overcoming uncertainty. Furthermore, CAPCL aims to support learners to develop healthy and godly habits. They are mighty learners and citizens who look after themselves and care for others. Building on the solid foundation of "heart-work" with healthy and godly habits, learners are ready to learn and apply their learning. This is represented by the school logo – a tree which flourishes with green leaves and bears good fruits. CAPCL is intentional in integrating Biblical truth with the Alberta Bilingual curriculum. Learners have opportunities to apply what they learn (Head) into services (Hands) to one another within the school community and in our neighbourhood. As mighty learners and citizens, CAPCL learners are servant leaders and community leaders – to be an example in speech and behaviour, in love, faith, and purity. CAPCL believes that development of these four domains – heart, habits, head, and hands – bring forth quality holistic education.
Legacy of Mrs. P.C. Lau
The late Mrs. P.C. Lau was a faithful Christian and devoted member of the Kowloon Tong Church of the Chinese Christian and Missionary Alliance (KTAC). Mrs. Lau took her family to church every Sunday and was actively involved in many church ministries. Her grandchildren spoke highly of their grandmother as a woman with determination, self-discipline and loving-kindness. Above all else, Mrs. Lau was passionate for education. Not only had she supported the opening of Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) financially in 1990s, she also attended various school activities when possible. She wholeheartedly supported KTAC’s vision of evangelism through education. Mrs. Lau was committed to bringing glory to God and service to society through educating the young souls, bodies and minds. Over the past two decades, hundreds of graduates from CAPCL have pursued higher education in different fields and have become contributing members in myriad sections of societies locally and globally. In 2017, the students of CAPCL moved to a new sister school located at Lai Chi Kok. CAPCL at Kowloon City was suspended in preparation for renovation. In August 2020, CAPCL will re-open as an international primary school using the Alberta curriculum. It has the capacity of serving approximately 550 preparatory to grade 6 students and their families. As the Head of School of CAPCL, I am encouraged and inspired by Mrs. Lau’s legacy. Mrs. Lau lived the CAPCL mission because she was a Christ-like servant leader who set examples in speech and behavior, in love, faith, and purity. Mrs. Lau left the world a better place than when she entered. "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master" (Matthew 25:21).
