School facilities

Adopting orange and white as its fundamental colour, the Z-shaped school campus is mainly divided into the Primary and Secondary Sections. The sections are connected on the first, second, and fourth floors. The campus design is a winning work of "In Search of Diversity in School Design: Architectural Design Competition" held by the Education Bureau [ citation needed ] and is original from its 3 designers, co-operating with the school's activity approach on teaching and making good use of space.

EFCC Evangel College Wendell Memorial Church was founded in 2008 as a gospel partner of the school, serving the school itself and the nearby neighbourhood.

The school plans to build a new education complex at a site near the school's car park, covering an area of about 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) and providing a gross floor area of 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2). The estimated cost for the new complex was HK$4.6 billion, and construction was estimated to end in 2023. As the fundraising process was not ideal, the construction work has not yet begun until now.[ when? ] [1]
