History

The school was founded in 1946 by Chinese investors from Southeast Asia and overseas Chinese. The school was originally established in Pui Kiu Lang Park (around Happy Valley to the Mid-Levels area). In the 1980s it relocated to its current location in the Pacific Palisades in Braemar Hill.

Controversy

When the Chinese Communist regime was established, the school announced that it would uphold Communist disciplines in its education curricula. This placed a severe strain on relations between the school and the Hong Kong colonial government, as well as the population at the time, whose political opinion tend towards Anti-Communism. The school was also a hotbed for revolutionary activities during the Cultural Revolution era in China, and also took part in bomb-making, which caused many social disruptions.

In the late 1970s, the Hong Kong government, under the Education laws, took over the school and reorganized it.

Present Day

Currently, Pui Kiu Middle School is part of the Direct Subsidy Scheme. The campus features a swimming pool, student dormitories, laboratories, computer rooms, classrooms, an indoor dining hall, an auditorium, a library and an indoor stadium.
