This year is the centenary of Taikoo Primary School in Quarry Bay. Originally opened by Swire in 1923 as a free school for children of its workforce at Taikoo Sugar Refinery and Taikoo Dockyard, the school became government-subsidised from 1947. In 1966, Swire donated land as well as paying half the construction costs for a new school building and in 2002, the school moved again into a new campus financed and developed by Swire Properties. Though today fully funded by government, Swire, as School Sponsoring Body, continues to provide financial and other assistance to support enhanced educational programmes. Looking ahead, Taikoo Primary School will continue to offer a caring environment where students can learn and flourish.
