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 29 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 the current academic year is HKD $42,000 for each local student. For each non-local student*, the school fee is HKD $118,316 (Secondary 1-3) and HKD $131,786 (Secondary 4-6), respectively. The fee for the 2027-2028 academic year may be subject to adjustment upon EDB’s approval.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Diocesan family.
