With great foresight, Ms Leung Po Chu, former chairman of Po Leung Kuk, understood how the art of Cantonese Opera can help students develop in all aspects and was therefore determined to promote education of the art of Cantonese Opera in the Po Leung Kuk affiliated secondary schools. By following this direction, COA and Po Leung Kuk Lee Shing Pik College and Po Leung Kuk Tong Nai Kan Junior Secondary College jointly organized the “Junior Secondary School Programme on the Art of Cantonese Opera” in the 2012 academic year and recruited a total of 24 Form 1 students. The courses included singing, basic skills and acting lessons. Starting from the 2013 academic year, the course has successfully gained the support of the Quality Education Fund of the Education Bureau. In the 2015 academic year, the Programme also included Po Leung Kuk Lo Kit Sing (1983) College​. By then, there was a total of 34 Form 1 to Form 3 students recruited from these three schools.
