Secondary school in Tin Shui Wai, Hong Kong
Shap Pat Heung Rural Committee Kung Yik She Secondary School is an aided Hong Kong secondary school founded in September 1996. Located at Tin Shing Road in Tin Shui Wai, it is the only secondary school established by Shap Pat Heung Rural Committee. Since the retirement of then-principal Yeung Ng Wai-chun, Liu Siu-lin has been the principal of the school.
School academics.
The school actively arranges science and technology related competitions for students. From time to time one may encounter small groups of students collaborating or discussing the competitions on campus. The students are talented in many ways, which laid the ground for the development of gifted education. Some students are not confident enough of their abilities, though.
When the school opened in 1996, the course "life education" and the corresponding Subject Board were established. The school was the first in Hong Kong to teach "life education" in secondary schools. The school plays an important role promoting life education in the local academia.
In recent years, the school's public examination results have improved. The school's add-value rate is the highest in the district. 2009 HKCEE subject pass rate of 94%; HKALE subject pass rate is 85%. ;ref name="newsletter 09/2" ; of the same reference ;/ref ; Schools have also invested lot of resources in English education.

Science Park.
The school is recognized for its science and technology education. The school has established a large-scale "Science Park", which is committed to the development of science and technology education. Science Park costs approximately 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars, mainly sponsored by the Quality Education Fund and the China Light and Power funds. It includes a biotechnology lab, greenhouses, plant tissue culture rooms, orchards, and other ecological-centric facilities.
Teachers and students from Mainland China, Singapore, Thailand and the United Kingdom have visited the Science Park. Nevertheless, the project has been criticized for focusing solely on science education, ignoring the needs of arts students. Also, the volleyball field is too close to the facilities, affecting the training of volleyball team. Meanwhile, many teachers and students regard such a project serves for promotional purpose more than educational purpose.
History.
From 2004 to 2008.
In addition to the award-winning science and technology, an increasing number of programs, including music, arts and sports, see increased development. The former English teacher Miss Cheung Chok Yee describes the school "as a young institution...experiencing rapid growth after the establishment of the school."
