Lok Sin Tong Leung Kau Kui College (Chinese: 樂善堂梁銶琚書院, abbreviated as LSTLKKC) is a government-subsidised co-educational secondary school located in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong. The institution is affiliated with The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society Kowloon and is sponsored by philanthropist Dr Leung Kau Kui.

Established in September 1991, the school was initially known as Lok Sin Tong College and was situated at Hill Road, Sai Ying Pun. In 1993, it underwent a name change to Lok Sin Tong Leung Kau Kui College in recognition of the generous contribution of 1.5 million Hong Kong Dollars made by the businessman and philanthropist Dr Leung Kau Kui. This substantial donation was utilized for the construction of the school.

The current premises of the institution, located at Hospital Road, Sai Ying Pun, were previously occupied by several other educational establishments, including the Sir Ellis Kadoorie School, Helen Liang Memorial Secondary School, Yu To Sang Memorial Secondary School, and the Kennedy Town Government Secondary School (now Tseung Kwan O Government Secondary School^[1]).

Chinese serves as the primary medium-of-instruction at Lok Sin Tong Leung Kau Kui College, with the exception of Mathematics and Sciences during the early years of secondary education.

LSTLKKC is situated among traditionally prestigious schools within the Central and Western District of Hong Kong. The school faced several difficulties in the early years of its establishment, such as a shortage of school facilities, due to a rapid increase in enrollment numbers. The situation improved due to rectification efforts undertaken over the years.

In 1997, the school underwent a major educational reform with nearly 30 changes in teaching and administration, leading to a three-year cumulative increase of 148% in the passing rate of students undertaking the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination. This was a result of various learning initiatives implemented that include classroom recognition, self-learning assessment, and sharing of extra-curricular reading.

In a bid to remain abreast with the standards of the other prestigious EMI (English Medium-of-Instruction) schools within the locality, LSTLKKC strives to continue to improve through educational reform in areas such as subject structure, course content, teaching methods, and course preparation.

From 2000 onward, LSTLKKC students achieved excellent scores in public examinations. A student once received a 3A result in the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination. In addition, LSTLKKC allowed students with good exam scores to switch from a science course to a business course in pre-university years, attracting many students from traditionally prestigious schools who wanted to change classes. The interaction between transfer students and elite students from LSTLKKC created a conducive learning environment that augmented the potential of LSTLKKC to improve the school's branding.

In 2000, LSTLKKC gradually began rising in the banding system. This occurred partly due to lower standards in traditionally prestigious schools in the Western part of Hong Kong and education system reforms. This has improved LSTLKKC students' grades, enabling LSTLKKC to absorb students from other schools. In 2020, LSTLKKC is currently ranked at banding 3A-2C and is rated 269-303 out of 446 schools in Hong Kong.^[2]

(The transfer students mainly come from Sacred Heart Canossian College, St. Louis School, and St. Stephen's Girls' College.)

After the handover of Hong Kong, the government raised the quota of permanent residencies for children of Hong Konger parents who had been born in China. This resulted in many families migrating to Hong Kong to reunite the family. Some of these children were already in junior or senior high, making it difficult for them to find suitable schools when they entered Hong Kong.

It was difficult for them to enter EMI (English Medium-of-Instruction) schools as both getting accepted and getting used to the school were difficult. Furthermore, there were only two CMI (Chinese Medium-of-Instruction) schools in the Central and Western administrative district, of which LSTLKKC was one.

LSTLKKC took in many students who had migrated, most of whom enrolled in Secondary 1 to Secondary 4. Those who entered the fourth year of high school had had senior high education in China and had obtained good grades in the national examinations. The school has introduced adaptation programmes to help these immigrant students raise their English standards.

After many years of education reforms, there has been a considerable improvement in academic results and student conducts at LSTLKKC. The school is well-recognized by parents in the neighbourhood. As student enrollment increases, the school has introduced additional programmes in the academic year 2015-2016 with English as a medium of instruction. This is an attempt to improve the prospects of their graduates.

Since 2010, a number of students from the school have been awarded Hong Kong Island Outstanding Students Award.

In recent years, LSTLKKC has circulated its students 'legendary' breakthrough results in national examinations. This includes one student who, despite previously failing a science course, switched to a liberal arts entrance examination and obtained a good score of 3A1B. Students who had recently migrated also achieved decent grades on the national tests. The university acceptance rate of LSTLKKC graduates is about 13%.^[3]
