Consider Tack Ching Girls’ Secondary School a place where history and education intertwine. Tack Ching Girls’ Secondary School began as a primary school in 1923. The Sisters of the Precious Blood founded it on Nam Cheong Street.
Let’s step back to 1929. The primary school expanded. It included secondary education. Thus, it became Tack Ching Girls’ Secondary School. The school’s journey has seen its share of challenges.
From 1941 to 1945, during the Japanese occupation, the school suspended operations. Teaching resumed in 1945. A branch opened in Wan Chai. This branch became Precious Blood Secondary School in 1946.
Imagine 1949. Tack Ching Girls’ Secondary School moved to a new building. It was located on Un Chau Street near Yen Chow Street and Castle Peak Road. The Hong Kong Governor Alexander Grantham graced the grand opening.
For over 50 years, the school remained there. Then, it relocated to its current site. This move followed the reclamation of Cheung Sha Wan. Today, Tack Ching Girls’ Secondary School stands on Hing Wah Street West and Sham Mong Road. The relocation happened in 2004.
Tack Ching Girls’ Secondary School uses Chinese as the major medium of instruction. It is an Aided, Girls secondary school. It is located in Sham Shui Po. The school is estimated as Band 3. This is a rough estimate. There is no ranking due to a lack of HKDSE information. The school has not disclosed this information in recent years.
