Arriving at LPC




Welcome

Welcome to Li Po Chun United World College. This page has been designed for international students who will be joining us in September.

Orientation Week

“Everyone made me feel so welcome. It was an once-in-a-lifetime experience. I
don’t think it’s possible to get so many nice people in one place!”
“Fantastic International Evening! The second years did lots of preparation to
welcome the first years, creating a memorable Orientation Week.”
“Orientation Week was daunting, overwhelming, scary, exciting, and exhilarating.”

(Quotes from recent LPCUWC students)

Orientation Week is dedicated to making our new first year students welcome, introducing them to Hong Kong (both the city and its country park area), and attending to necessary administrative things: making initial subject choices, registering with the nurse, going to Immigration Department to get a Hong Kong ID Card, getting stationery supplies and most important of all(!) stocking up on pot noodles. Whether it be the highly entertaining No Talent Show, the stylish Orientation Week Cafe, the energetic Sports Night, the astonishing Hong Kong evening Orientation, the exhilarating Camping Trips, or the extravagant International Evening, both first and second year students have enjoyed every minute awake during the week. It is by far the best way to begin a great new year at a new school. The schedule of orientation week differs between different residential blocks, but a typical schedule given to a new student would be:
