School Features
School management Four committees are founded based on the four areas of growth of Jesus Christ stated in Luke 2:52, "and Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." These four committees, Academic Affairs Committee, Discipline and Moral Education Committee, Religious Activities Committee, and Extra-Curricular Activities Committee, are formed to take care of the development of students in these four areas. Additionally, a committee named Guidance and Award Scheme Committee is formed to guide the students to have a balanced growth in those four areas and to acknowledge their attainments through the Award Scheme.Carmel Pak U Secondary School | Secondary School Profile 2008-2009
