2. Background
YK Pao School is an independent, not-for-profit
school founded in memory of Sir Yue-Kong Pao
(包玉剛) on his 90th birthday.
YK Pao was a well known Hong Kong private
shipping magnate who acted as unofficial
ambassador for the return of Hong Kong to China
and an enthusiastic educational philanthropist.
His belief in “keeping fit”, “being thrifty” and
“persevering and hard work” has become the
motto of YK Pao School.
