St Stephen’s College Preparatory School implemented ‘One student - One instrument’ programme about 30 years ago. The School Orchestra was established in 1986, which made St Stephen’s the avant-garde of primary schools in this area in Hong Kong. In the past years, the Orchestra has achieved very outstanding results in the inter-school competitions in Hong Kong: It was the champion and gold prize winner in the Primary School Symphony Orchestra Competition in Hong Kong Schools Music Festival and Hong Kong Youth Music Interfl ows respectively.
