History

It was the pioneer of Chinese women’s education in Southern China. The women’s education that it advocates not only raised the status of women in society but also helped nurture the talents needed by the country and made a great contribution to the overall development of society.

In 1935, a branch primary school was established in Hong Kong. The secondary section was added in the post-war period. In 1951, the school was relocated to Tai Hang Road.
