      It was formed on 1 September 2006 by merging two long-established subsidized primary schools - Po Leung Kuk Cheung Ning Man Primary School and Bullion Trading Estate School. By complementing each other's strengths, the two schools have sought additional resources to enhance the quality and effectiveness of their educational work and to develop better education services. The merger has strengthened the space, manpower and teaching resources of the two schools.

History of Po Leung Kuk Pershing Tsang Primary School

      Po Leung Kuk Pershing Tsang Primary School was established in 1946 as the first school run by Po Leung Kuk, originally known as Po Leung Kuk School. Initially, it focused on the education of children in Po Leung Kuk's institutions, but later extended its services to other children of school age.

      The school was named Po Leung Kuk Pershing Tsang Primary School on 25 March 1991 after a donation of $2 million by the Prime Minister in 1988 to establish the Pershing Tsang Memorial Fund and a grant of $1.5 million for the complete renovation of the school. Due to the expansion of classes, the school building was not enough for the school and was expanded on the ground floor of the adjacent Po Leung Kuk Vicwood KT Chong Building.

 

History of the Gold and Silver Exchange Society School

      The Gold and Silver Exchange Society was established in 1949 with donations from Mr. Lam Ping-yin, Dr. Ho Sin-heng, Hang Seng Bank and other major banks, totalling over $400,000, and was granted land by the Government to build a school building. The school was initially named the Gold and Silver Exchange Society Volunteer School for the children of employees of the Gold and Silver Exchange Society. In 1950, a free evening school was set up for Primary 3 to Primary 6 students through an open recruitment process. The school was renamed the Bullion Yard School in 1954 and was converted into a subsidized primary school in March 1967 with the approval of the Education Department.
