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 re-opened 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).
