History
The school was founded in 1978 by the Wellwisher Foundation. It was originally divided into morning and afternoon school. Between 1992 and 1994, the school was in transition to a whole day school. In 1995, the school was taken over by the Hong Kong Cheung Shi Clansmen's Association. On 1 September 1997 the school was renamed to the present name, in memory of a founding member of the school, Cheung Chi Cheong, who died in May 1996. In 2003, all members of the school, including pupils, teachers, principal and directors, joined the Scout Association of Hong Kong and made scouting activities part of their daily curriculum. It was the first school of its kind in Hong Kong.
Future
With ever decreasing birth rate in Hong Kong, the primary school was destinated to close after summer 2006. All the pupils were transferred to the TWGHs Chow Yin Sum Primary School. Her Scout Group, the 7th Group of Tsing Yi District, was thus disbanded on 1 August 2006[1].
The school building was re-occupied by National Education Services Centre, promoting nationalist ideology of PRC for students and teachers.[2]
