Chinese Foundation Secondary School

The Chinese Foundation Secondary School (CFSS, Chinese: 中華基金中學, 中基) is a co-educational secondary school located in Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong. It is a Direct Subsidy Scheme school.

Background

The school was founded in 2000 by Maxim's heiress and CPPCC member Annie Wu, through her Chinese History and Culture Educational Foundation.[1]

The premises occupy a total area of approximately 7,460 square metres.

Controversy

In 2019, school founder Annie Wu controversially put pressure on the school to punish staff and students who supported the ongoing pro-democracy protests.[2] Alumni gathered outside the entrance on September 4, 2019 to express their disappointment and anger towards the school's unsupportive attitude.[3]
