Construction of the secondary school at the Macau New Neighbourhood (MNN) in Hengqin began on 27 May 2024 and passed its final inspection last month, with registration running from 1-8 March and the school expected to open for the 2026/2027 academic year, according to Macau Urban Renewal Limited (MUR).
The completion of the project signifies full coverage of basic education within the MNN, which will provide Macau residents residing in the Guangdong-Macau In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin with all-round educational services and a high-quality learning environment that aligns with Macau’s standards.
The secondary school is located on the southern side of Xiaohengqin Mountain, to the west of the MNN, covering approximately 20,000 square metres, with a total floor area of around 29,000 square metres.
The five-storey school building features an outdoor sports field, a sports hall, a library, an academic lecture hall, a science laboratory, and multi-purpose classrooms, among others. It is expected to house 36 classes and accommodate around 1,200 students.
Continuing the elegant, classical European architectural style of the kindergarten and primary school and skilfully utilising the local topography, the secondary school opens towards the northern mountain, which creates a more expansive sense of space. This fosters a lush, high-quality environment where the scenery is integrated into the campus, allowing students to learn and grow in beautiful surroundings.
There are currently over 4,000 residents residing in MNN. The community offers a full range of amenities, including public service facilities integrated with Macau’s systems, such as a school, a health station, an elderly service centre, a community service centre for families, and a 24-hour self-service centre for Macau government affairs.
MNN also features a residential car park, an outdoor children’s playground, a swimming pool, a clubhouse gym, a tennis court, a basketball court, a pickleball court, and a landscaped garden, ensuring a comfortable and convenient living environment.
