Kwong Hua Primary School


The Kwong Hua Primary School in Sg. Sadit is one of the earliest schools to be set up by the Foochows in Sarawak under the guidance of Rev James Hoover. 

The Kutian group of pioneers settled here, as the area was allocated to them by Wong Nai Siong. In no time the Kutian group made Kwong Hua area into a thriving and vibrant village.

As the villagers prospered, land was donated to build a primary school and a church.

This school is one of the few with a bell tower, and the bell is still used.' The wooden school block has long ago been changed to a concrete block. The school name was written by Sun Yat Seng.
