# Carmel Pak U Secondary School

Carmel Pak U Secondary School (Chinese: 迦密柏雨中學; Jyutping: gaa1 mat6 paak3 jyu5 zung1 hok6; Abbreviated as CPU) is a Protestant fundamentalist co-educational secondary school in Tai Po, Hong Kong established in 1979. The current principal is Wong Wai-keung.

## School Features
### School management

Four committees are founded based on the four areas of growth of Jesus Christ stated in Luke 2:52, "and Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." These four committees, Academic Affairs Committee, Discipline and Moral Education Committee, Religious Activities Committee, and Extra-Curricular Activities Committee, are formed to take care of the development of students in these four areas. Additionally, a committee named Guidance and Award Scheme Committee is formed to guide the students to have a balanced growth in those four areas and to acknowledge their attainments through the Award Scheme.

### Facilities

There are 8 devices and 1 screen in every room, including the LCD projector, visualizer, overhead projector, DVD player, videocassette recorder, tape recorder, wireless PA system, air-conditioner and the screen. Computers, clocker and thermometers are also installed in each room in recent years. In addition, cable/wireless broadband network is connected and more than 345 computers are installed throughout the campus. In 2007–2008, free telephone-dialing services are set in each floor for the convenience of students to contact their relatives. In 2013–14, TV screens are added to the entrance of the school. Also, the school bought about 20 Tablets.

## Class structures and admission

Students who admitted to the school are all from Band 1 category. In HKCEE 2007, 98.1% of students in the school got five passes (Grade E/Level 2) or above; and 99.5%, 100%, and 97.6% passed in Chinese, English, and Mathematics, respectively. Moreover, 17.5% of students in the school had scored Level 5* in Chinese, which is the highest percentage among Hong Kong secondary schools in HKCEE 2007. Over the years, many have even scored 7 or 8 distinctions in the HKCEE and 4 or 5 distinctions in HKALE. The school is among the few schools that have three F.6 classes. All of the F.6 places are filled up by the own graduates of the school. Last year, 95.5% of our F.7 graduates were admitted to universities through JUPAS, while 3 F.6 students were admitted through Early Admission Scheme.
