Buddhist Fat Ho Memorial College is a co-educational secondary school in Hong Kong. The school opened in 1977 and as of 2016 had approximately 350 students.[1] It is run by the Hong Kong Buddhist Association and sponsored by Po Lin Monastery.[2] It is a Direct Subsidy Scheme institution that charges tuition fees. Students can pick between English or Cantonese as their medium of instruction. Situated in Tai O, it is the first co-ed secondary school on Lantau Island.

Around 2009 the school had annual losses of $5 million HKD with 280 students. In hopes of "reduc[ing] annual losses" the school a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) school. According to Elaine Yau of the South China Morning Post, financial performance improved subsequently during the principalship of Eric Yuon Fuk-lung, thanks in part to significant staffing cuts.[3]

Buddhist Fat Ho Memorial College's motto is "Enlighten with Wisdom, Manifest with Compassion and Pursue kindness and virtue".[4] The school is founded on the Buddhist value that everyone has an equal right to learn.[5]

Student body

Elaine Yau wrote in 2015 that "a number of students come from troubled families or have a chequered past".[3] In 2021 a student was a finalist for South China Morning Post's and the Hong Kong Jockey Club's Hong Kong Student of the Year Award.[6]

The Po Lin Monastery has a boarding house with spaces for thirty students. [3]
