Creative Primary School and Creative Primary School’s Kindergarten Celebrate 40th Anniversary with Successful Open Day

On 24 May 2025, Creative Primary School (CPS) and Creative Primary School’s Kindergarten (CPSKG) held a grand open day to celebrate their 40th anniversary, welcoming numerous guests, parents, alumni, and community members. Nestled in the prestigious educational hub of Oxford Road, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong, China, these two institutions have, for four decades, served as distinguished private schools, delivering exceptional education and nurturing generations of outstanding students.

Student-Led Exhibitions and Performances

The day's events included the IB PYP (IB Primary Years Programme) Units of Inquiry (UOI) Exhibition, student-led research project presentations, interactive workshops, and performing arts performances, showcasing the school's long-standing commitment to student-centered holistic education. During the open day, the school set up a curriculum consultation area, allowing parents to gain an in-depth understanding of the school’s teaching philosophy and its advantages in academic progression.

At the event, parents curiously explored different corners of the campus guided by students; alumni revisited their alma mater, reminiscing about their carefree childhood days amid the warm laughter and care of teachers; education experts also attended, offering insights and guidance. Special guests from the International Alliance for Invitational Education (IAIE) in the U.S. even crossed oceans to participate in this grand occasion, witnessing the school’s 40 years of educational achievements. The lively atmosphere fully embodied the school’s culture of "Care, Respect, and Trust."

For the CPSKG’s "Sky of Growth" exhibition, this child-led showcase not only displayed rich learning outcomes but also vividly reflected the school’s educational philosophy of "Inspiring curiosity, nurturing explorers." Teachers served as guides in the children’s learning journey, while students constructed knowledge and problem-solving skills through research, analysis, and synthesis. Coupled with a fun and engaging curriculum design, the school fosters their critical thinking and passion for lifelong learning from an early age.

The exhibition covered learning units such as English language, Chinese and Putonghua, science and technology, robotics and artificial intelligence, art, and emotional education, while also highlighting Creative’s caring campus culture as a Happy School. The most precious aspect of this exhibition was not only allowing parents to admire the children’s astounding creativity but also fully demonstrating the essence of the school’s student-centered curriculum.

What made the exhibition truly special was that guests not only felt the enthusiasm and confidence of CPS and CPSKG’s students but also marveled at the children’s impressive creativity, fully showcasing the core of the school’s thought-inspiring curriculum.

Many parents who attended the event expressed surprise and admiration for the students’ performances and the school’s educational achievements. One alumnus shared, "Returning to my alma mater for the open day not only brought back memories of my school days but also allowed me to witness the school’s continuous efforts in educational innovation."

Forty Years of Excellence: From Founding to a Complete Educational System

Established in 1985, CPS and CPSKG have championed holistic education, aligning with Hong Kong’s 2000 education reforms emphasizing critical thinking, character, and lifelong learning. With the later addition of Creative Secondary School (CSS), the institution now offers a seamless 3–18 education, blending Eastern and Western pedagogy.

Global Recognition and Future Vision

As an IB World School, the institution emphasizes inquiry-based learning, with trilingual (English, Chinese, Putonghua) foundations in early years and English-medium secondary education. Its "Inviting School Award" from IAIE underscores its nurturing environment.

Mr. Victor Fong, Open Day Committee Chairman and School Supervisor, noted: "In an era of AI and rapid change, we remain committed to cultivating adaptable, compassionate leaders." He thanked faculty and parents for their support.

The open day celebrated past achievements while marking a new chapter. The school invites the community to join its journey—inspiring future generations of learners.
