Kai-ping is a privately run vocational middle school that has gained a reputation in recent years for its liberal approach to education. The school does not enforce a hair code and its students are free to perm or dye their hair as they please. Thus, visitors are often astonished to see all sorts of hairstyles in the schoolyard. But Kai-ping is also a renowned cooking school.
私立開平中學近年以「開放」聞名，平日完全不管學生的頭髮，要燙、要染，悉聽尊便，因而在校園中可以見識到各式各樣的流行髮式，令人嘆為觀止。
