II Our School

Brief Introduction of the School

Canossa College, the former Canossian Convent Secondary School, was founded by the

Canossian Daughters of Charity in 1959. The Canossian sisters left Italy, their homeland,

to begin their missionary work in Hong Kong in 1860. In 1891, on Mr David Sasson's

generous donation of a piece of land of 3,000 sq.ft in Shaukeiwan, the Canossian Sisters'

convent and a Chinese primary school were built. In 1932, a new convent and a primary

school were erected but were occupied by the Japanese and British soldiers during World

War II. In 1951, the Canossian Chinese Primary School was re-opened and the

Canossian Convent Secondary School was run in the new four-storey premises adjacent to

the primary section in 1959.

To make way for the development of Eastern district, both the secondary and primary

schools were relocated to the present premises in Quarry Bay in 1984 and renamed

Canossa College and the primary section, Canossa School (Hong Kong). Canossa

College began to offer an education in the medium of English.

The Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) of Canossa College was set up on 31

August 2013 to replace the School Management Committee.

School Premises and Facilities

The school premises not only won the 1984 Highest Honours Award in Architectural

Design for its simplicity, harmonious colour scheme, brightness and spaciousness, but also

provide an ideal learning environment for students. The School Improvement

Programme was completed in 2004 with a new wing erected from the parking area by the

main entrance, providing more facilities for students’ learning.

There are now 25 classrooms and 18 special rooms (2 visual arts rooms, 2 computer rooms,

1 language room, 4 laboratories, 5 multi-purpose rooms, 1 needlework room, 1 cookery

room, 1 geography room and 1 student activity center). In addition, the school hall,

library, tuck shop, backyard, two multi-purpose ball courts, two covered playgrounds and

the chapel adjacent to the convent provide ample space for various student activities.

Positive values in life should be strengthened among students of all forms. This could be done

through refining the materials of Life Education lessons, organizing form-based talks, workshops

and competitions to cater to the needs of students.

More student ambassadors will be invited to join various school events next year in order to

create more opportunities for students to showcase their talents and polish their leadership skills.

Since this was the first year of carrying out the ‘Reach out with a humble’ Project, students did

not develop a good habit of keeping a proper record of the service programmes joined. Teachers

could give more instructions and guidelines at the start of the project next year.

ECA advisors could consider giving students more opportunities to maximize their abilities.

They could choose and recommend students to attend programmes organized by external

institutions. There could be more coordination across different clubs, societies and teams.

really help students with different abilities in learning and the majority of them would carry out

different modes of e-learning activities in the coming years. The students’ survey also revealed

that more than 60 % of them enjoyed the e-learning activities.

More STEM related learning activities were successfully held and the emphasis on creativity

and hands-on experience appealed to students. All the participating teachers in the STEM

projects agreed that the activities could train students to solve daily life problems with practical

solutions and innovative designs. The concerned departments will continue to explore more

creative teaching ideas according to students’ interests and needs.

Teachers agreed that the 3-year plans of different departments and enrichment courses in

Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics could help nurture giftedness. The

departments would refine their planning and courses to enhance high-order thinking skills and

creativity of gifted students at school.

Collaboration programmes between English teachers and EMI subject teachers will be refined

and continue. The collaborative lesson planning could help students learn the subjects in

English effectively like the designed worksheets in Integrated Science and History. The

It was found that the school provided a great variety of activities, workshops and programmes

to promote students’ self-understanding and offer other learning experiences to support their

further studies and career development, as well as actualization of personal goals. The school

Understanding and Development”, followed by “Career Exploration” and “Career Planning

and Management”. Finally, it assisted students in managing and adapting to the transition from
