SALEM-Immanuel Lutheran College (ILC; Chinese: 南亞路德會沐恩中學) is a Hong Kong Aided Co-educational Christian Secondary School with primary and secondary sessions, founded in 1983. The college serves both boys and girls. The campus is now located in Tai Yuen Estate, Tai Po, New Territories.
History
The school was started as Immanuel Lutheran English Middle School in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. It was operated by the South Asian Lutheran Evangelical Mission inside a private mansion. Because of its small size, it was eventually decided to phase out the Middle School and start Immanuel Lutheran College in the New Territories. The college was established in 1983.[1]
An additional wing was constructed between 1996 and 1997. Computer networks and multi-media projectors have also been installed.[1] There are now two Multimedia Language Centres, two Computer Rooms, one Multimedia Production Centre, and one Multimedia Studio (the WoW Production Studio) in the school.
School mission
The college devotes to the provision of a quality education in a Christian context and a healthy environment where students can develop their potential, excel intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually, and prepare themselves for the challenges in life.
School motto
Wisdom, Truth, Virtue, Love to all - 博學明道，臻善益群
Symbolisation of the school logo
The cross at the top represents the school's Christian background; the grid (fish net) and the pearl at the centre symbolises Tai Po at its early stages; the source of book, with pages printed Greek alphabets Alpha and Omega, can be derived from a Biblical scripture: "I (the God) am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." (first part of Revelation of John, 21:6), and also indicates the thought of Christian education.
