The School commenced operation in the DSS (Direct Subsidy Scheme) mode starting from junior forms in September 2012.

It is governed by the Council of Heep Yunn School, also the sponsoring body of the primary and kindergarten sections.

This accounts for the name "Heep Yunn" - meaning the union of the two schools through the grace of God.

The school offers over 20 school sports teams, four choirs, three orchestras, debating teams in both Chinese, Mandarin and English, an active drama group and team and over 60 other co-curricular programmes relating to languages, humanity studies, visual art, science, dance, community services and leadership training.

The school holds a student-led fun fair every year on the third Sunday of January, where students build stalls from scratch and design games for the public to raise funds.
