Application for 2025-2026 Secondary One

 

The application period for 2025-2026 Secondary One admission has ended.

===

Application Period: 23rd September – 2nd October 2024

 

Since our establishment in 1860, it has been our mission to offer an excellent all-around secondary education for girls, based on a blend of Christian values and Chinese traditions and culture. English is used as the medium of instruction in all subjects apart from Chinese Language and Chinese-related subjects. Our school offers 25 sports teams, 11 musical groups/orchestras and numerous other ECA activities.

Once admitted, your daughters will embark on a journey of discovery about the world and their place in it. At Secondary Five, students can follow either the HKDSE curriculum or the GCE Advanced Level curriculum, depending on their strengths and needs. Irrespective of their pathway, most graduates go on to prestigious tertiary institutions locally and non-locally to further their education. 

The annual school fee for each student in the 2025/2026 academic year is HK$ 40,000.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Diocesan family.
