Motto and Mission - The True Light School of Hong Kong

School Motto

「爾乃世之光」 “Thou art the Light of the World”

The motto of the school was derived from the Chinese translation of the biblical phrase: ‘Thou art the Light of the World’ (爾乃世之光) (Matthew 5:14).

We hope our students can become ‘True Light of the World’ – the future light-bearers and seed-sowers of the Christian faith.
