The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong) ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in 1994. Participation rights under Article 12 of the CRC states that State Parties should ensure that children’s views are given due weight on matters affecting them (Article 12 CRC, 1989). Pupils’ voice is often attributed to this Article and has consequently become a growing area of concern in schools (Lundy, 2007). Despite the international call for increased pupil voice in schools, there is currently a dearth of literature in regard to children’s voice in primary schools in Hong Kong (Forde et al., 2018). The Concluding Observations by the Committee states that there is a lack of “effective and broad mechanisms…to promote and facilitate respect for the views of all children and children’s participation in all matters affecting them” in Hong Kong (CRC, 2013). As a Chinese Confucian society, Hong Kong places respect to teachers at the highest priority and children are expected to not challenge or question them (Ng, 1996, 2001). Therefore, this research aims to understand the extent of which children believe they have participation rights in a faith school in Hong Kong and whether school leaders and parents understand children’s rights. Departing from an interpretivist perspective, this research draws on 12 semi-structured one-on-one interviews to better understand the participants’ lived experiences and views of children’s voice at school. The initial findings suggest that tenants and values stemming from Confucianism play a significant role as to why children’s voice is often not encouraged within the school as academic success is prioritized. However, students demonstrate forms of agency by articulating their personal views and voice. Ultimately, this demonstrates conflict between the children’s prescribed behaviours stemming from Confucian culture and their own autonomous thinking.
