School Motto
The Name of the Academy The Chinese Name of Lutheran Academy is ‘Hong Xin Shu Yuan’, which originates from the scripture, “Love bears all things, believes all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7). We also adopt the scripture as our school motto.
Hóng「宏」
This Chinese character means ‘wide and spacious, great and vast’. It connotes that one should possess the virtues of forgiveness and respect to different and opposite opinions. Furthermore, one should also possess vast knowledge and good manners. In a greater sense, man should acquire global perspective and broad range of knowledge so that we could overcome the limitations of region, culture and experiences to attain great accomplishments. Being able to acknowledge one’s humility for our unnoticeable existence in the universe is important that the only way to overcome the obstacles in our lives is to rely on Lord and seek for the truth.
Xìn「信」
This Chinese character means ‘faith, trust and believe’. It connotes the unconditioned trust in Lord from one’s bottom of the heart. Faith must be founded on truth while learning truth would increase one’s faith. In a greater sense, man always experiences a series of peaks and troughs throughout the history. We should believe the Almighty God has always arranged the best for us, even though in times of uncertainties so that we are willing to bear the pains at the moment and wait until the day we receive the ultimate and eternal honour from the Lord.
Hóng-Xìn「宏信」
Love bears all things — ‘Hóng’ (「宏」),
Believes(「信」) all things — ‘Xìn’ (「信」)

School Song
On my way
Lyrics by: Wong Chung Kit / Ip Wing Tung
Everyone beside me
We stand as one call for unity
With our Lord I can see eternity
In Your love we believe
No matter ups and downs we say:
“With Love, we can be we can be”
Wide and spacious sky
All the difference from my eyes
Varies in nature bringing us together
Luac Family
We are from everywhere
Holding respect
Love is everywhere
Common value we share
Follow You and find our faith
And Your words we crave
I see Your footprints on my way
To the future that I pave
Everyday I close my eyes and pray
With Your promise I’m proud to say “I have You On my Way”
Christian Life
A vibrant Christian community is nurtured through structured lessons and engaging activities dedicated to spiritual growth and service. Weekly Bible lessons are integrated into the curriculum for all students, complemented by whole-school Morning Worship and daily Morning Worship sessions to foster devotion.
Students develop strong character, discipline, responsibility, and discipleship by joining Morning Bible Study and Lunch Recess Fellowship, as well as organisations like the Boys’ Brigade, a global Christian uniformed group that instils these values through drills and community service. They also participate in G.L.O.W. (Gospel Lights Out in Worship), which offers co- curricular activities (CCA) gatherings for extended praise, worship, personal reflection, and focused Bible study, cultivating deeper commitment.
Student-centered chapels every week provide opportunities for students to lead worship and share their faith journeys, further enriching the spiritual environment. The school demonstrates global outreach by supporting WATOTO children in Africa. Annual spiritual milestones include the Education Sunday Service and the Thanksgiving Service, Gospel week and Holy Week celebrating a year of unity in Christ.
