Introduction
Founded in 1987, Buddhist Wai Yan Memorial College is the 11th government aided co-education secondary school sponsored by the Hong Kong Buddhist Association. It is also the first school on Cheung Chau Island set up by a Buddhist sponsoring body. To commemorate the good deeds of the late Reverend Wai Yan of Macau Po Chai Monastery, the school was named in his honour and it pays tribute to his contributions to education and the community.

Highlights
The school adheres to the teaching of five virtues and the philosophy of Buddhist education. Our school ethos is simplicity, embracing discipline with counseling in order to develop in each student the essence of self-discipline and self-respect. In S.1 to S.5 we adopt the co-form teachers system and there are two Moral and Civic Education lessons cross each form level. To cater for learners diversities, we conduct enhancement and remedial split classes in Chinese, English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies. To widen studentsˇ¦ perspective and their learning experience, the Life-wide Learning Experience Day and S.6 Cross Border Excursion Tour are held each year.

New Senior Secondary Curriculum
We aim at an extensive and balanced NSS curriculum, offering 10 elective subjects and applied learning courses. For other learning experiences, regular lessons are timetabled for civic education, sports, community service and vocational training. Besides, Studentsˇ¦ Learning Portfolios are also in place this school year.

External support
The Parent-Teacher Association sponsors our whole-school King of Reading Scheme. The school receives HK$2 millions to implement the English Enhancement Scheme and extra funding for conducting the P.A.T.H.S. programme.
