Completely funded by the Government of Hong Kong, the grammar school is one of the two secondary schools located in Long Ping Estate.

History[edit]
Initially named Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Number Fifteen School upon its establishment in 1987,[2] the school is the fifteenth secondary school established by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.[3] The school was then bestowed its current name from the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals after receiving a donation from family of Lo Kon-ting, a Jewellery company founder,[4] under the name of Lo Wing Yip Tong.[4]
Shortly after suffering a stroke, Yim Chin-ming, then-principal of the school, passed away on 11 May 2013.[5] He was succeeded by Lam Chi-ming, then-vice-principal of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Kap Yan Directors' College, in October 2013. Lam is the incumbent principal of the school.
