The district's journey began in the 1960s with the development of public housing estates, attracting a substantial population and fostering a strong sense of community.

Given that it is made up of a very small area that extends from Fortress Hill through North Point and Quarry Bay out to Siu Sai Wan and is encircled by mountains, the Eastern District has been likened as a sea snake writhing along the shores of Victoria Harbour. It is the second most populous district with 600,000 people living in under 19 square kilometers. According to archaeological findings from the Song Dynasty (AD 960–1279), the area began as a collection of fishing towns, subsequently transformed into quarries and dockyards, and is now a tangle of largely residential high rises.

Have they been raved about in a facebook parent post?

Before the new term starts in January, we felt it was important to debunk some myths about signing up to after school activity programs at international schools.

This saves you having to plan a trip by car/taxi/MTR to another venue. However, there are some significant drawbacks to these programs which parents may not be aware of.

Did you know that the name Wan Chai (meaning small bay) is due to the fact that the coastline used to sit where Queen’s Road East now runs in the form of a small bay? Walking the streets of Wan Chai today, it’s hard to imagine that it was once a fishing village.

The community of Tseung Kwan O was built in the 1980s on reclaimed land that used to be part of a narrow inlet called Junk Bay, lined with small fishing villages including Tseung Kwan O Village and Hang Hau Village. Over the past 30 years, Tseung Kwan O has been transformed into a vibrant community now affectionately referred to as TKO, largely because of its plethora of MTR stations (Po Lam, Hang Hau, Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Leng), its proximity to Central (~10kms) and Kwun Tong (its western neighbour), and the numerous parks and shopping malls that dot its neighbourhoods.
