S. C. Gaw Memorial College
Tung Wah Group of Hospitals S. C. Gaw Memorial College () is a secondary school on Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong. The school is surrounded by four resited villages, Tai Wong Ha, Yim Tin Kok, Lam Tin, and San Uk. The College is a co-educational school, accepting both boys and girls. The majority of students are residents on the island though there are many students from other parts of Hong Kong. Established by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, a registered charity, in 1984, the school is dependent upon government funding. Instruction is given in English, Cantonese (oral) and Chinese (written). History
In the early 1980s, as part of the major new town development in the area, the Ha Chung Mei village area close to Tsing Yi Lagoon was reclaimed by the government. As part of a government drive to build more classrooms, the college was established in 1984 by the charity organisation Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. It was the third secondary school to be built on Tsing Yi Island and the 13th secondary school of the charity. S. C. Gaw () was the father of a former Tung Wah director, Anthony T. Gaw (). Due to construction delays, it commenced classes in 1984 in 12 borrowed classrooms at nearby Po Leung Kuk 1983 Board of Directors' College. The school moved into its new building in March 1984 and a formal opening ceremony was held in January 1986, the next year, presided over by senior government official  Poon-wai (). In 2005, an extension of the school was completed. In 2015, Latin dancers of the college were awarded prizes at the 90th Blackpool Dance Festival. Motto & colours
