Book Synopsis
St. Stephen's Girls' College is one of the many schools run under the auspices of the Anglican Church in Hong Kong. Starting as a tiny missionary school for upper-class Chinese girls and their younger brothers, it has evolved into a large establishment, comprising kindergarten, primary and secondary sections, playing its full part in the public sector of education and now serving a complete socio-economic cross-section of the community. As one of the earliest schools for girls in the territory, St. Stephen's played a significant role in the opening up of educational opportunities for Chinese girls.

This book records the history and development of the school and is written for its 90th Anniversary, using much original source material. The author, who was head of the school for over thirty years, has set this history within the educational, social and political context of the times.

This book will be of obvious interest to those who have a connection with the school: council members, teachers, parents and students. It may also be a useful reference for those interested in the history of education in Hong Kong during the 20th century—a period which has seen immense social and political change.
