It was not until 1969 when the government carried out the Secondary Education Development Policy that the Yuen Long Merchants Association reinstated the committee, which took up the sole responsibility to plan the establishment of the new school. The objective was to build a fully equipped secondary school with a high quality school building. In due course, the Yuen Long District Office gave its consent to grant the committee a piece of crown land with an area of some 60,000 sq. ft. adjacent to the Yuen Long Chamber of Commerce Primary School, and also a substantial amount of building and equipment funds. The committee was encouraged by further support from the local community as well as from earnest individuals who generously gave their donations to the project.

In April 1970, Mr. Choi Chong Yip, Chairman of the Yuen Long Merchants Association, flew to Europe and America at his own expense, and urged expatriates from Yuen Long residing in countries such as England, the Netherlands, and the United States to donate to the project. The fund-raising exercise gained great support from the overseas Yuen Long expatriates, while at the same time all the members of the committee gave generously themselves. In addition, local celebrities and businessmen followed suit and donated eagerly. The fund-raising target was thus completed successfully.
