W F Joseph Lee Primary School operates under the Direct Subsidy
Scheme in Tin Shui Wai. The school founder, Dr. Joseph Lee, GBS, OStJ,
JP, recognized the importance of contributing to the society by fostering
the youth and caring for the elderly to make Hong Kong a better place
to reside. Wofoo Foundation Ltd. was therefore established in May 1997
to provide social services run by itself to give support to people in need.
To respond to the call for education reform and fulfill the mission of
“supporting young people”, the Foundation successfully applied to run
a primary school under the Direct Subsidy Scheme in 2000. We believe in
the significance of early childhood education as a basis for life education.
We have chosen to start the school under the Direct Subsidy Scheme for it
provides flexibility and independence in, for example, curriculum design,
medium of instruction, criteria for enrolling students, etc. W F Joseph Lee
Primary School was founded in 2002 against this background.

圍。學校創辦人李宗德博士 金紫荆星章，聖約翰官佐勳銜太平紳士於一九九七
年五月創立和富慈善基金，李博士懷著「培育年幼，關顧長者，建設更美好的
香港」的抱負，將和富社會企業的工作推向前線，藉以回饋社會。為了響應教
育改革的號召，貫徹落實「培育青年」的理念，和富慈善基金於二零零零年成
功申辦一所政府直接資助的小學。我們深信教育從小做起的重要，以直接資助
的模式運作，讓學校在課程設計、教學語言、招收學生等各方面有較大的自由
度。在這個背景下，和富慈善基金李宗德小學於二零零二年正式創校。
