Tsing Yi Fishermen's Children's Primary School

Tsing Yi Fishermen's Children's Primary School () was a school for the children of fishermen on Tsing Yi Island in Hong Kong, founded by the Fish Marketing Organisation.
The school was close to the relocation villages of Tsing Yi Fishermen Village () and St. Paul's Village () for fishermen. The former site of the school is now a Protestant church, the Tsing Lam Alliance Church ().
History
Fishermen's Children's Primary Schools marked that fishing once was an important industry in Hong Kong and there was a concern to improve fishermen's literacy. The good harbours besides the Rambler Channel attracted many fishermen and fishing boats such that here was a need to have a school on Tsing Yi Island. The school was finally built on the top of a hill near Moon Tsai Tong. The school survived until the late 1980s when extensive reclamation forced most fishermen to abandon their living on the sea.
