St. Stephen's College, Hong Kong : ウィキペディア英語版
St Stephen's College (Hong Kong)

St Stephen's College () is a Christian Direct Subsidy Scheme co-educational secondary school located in Stanley, Hong Kong. With an area of about 150,000 m² (15 hectares), the College is the largest secondary school in Hong Kong, and is one of the very few boarding schools in the territory, many buildings in the campus are listed in the list of historic Buildings and Declared Monuments by the Antiquities Advisory Board. When the College is founded in 1903, there were only five boarders and one day student; in academic year 2011-2012, there were 1200 students. The current principal is Ms. Carol C. Yang. St Stephen's College uses English as a medium of instruction, except for Chinese, Chinese History, Chinese Language and Culture, Putonghua, Visual Arts and Physical Education. St Stephen's College is the first school in the territory having its own Heritage Trail in the school campus.
==History==
The establishment of the College dates back to 1902. A group of prominent Chinese businessmen approached the Church Missionary Society to administer a school for their sons. The inspiration came from Dr. Pibi Nay Nay Yan. The aim was to maintain the standard of teaching and level of equipment which is comparable to the best Public Schools in England. In 1903, St Stephen's College was officially established on Bonham Road in Western District. In the 1920s, the government granted the school 25 acres (101,000 m²) on the Stanley Peninsula in recognition of ''outstanding contributions to education''. The foundation stone was laid in April 1928 by the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Cecil Clementi, and in May 1929, the college was fully functional in its new buildings, many of which are still in use today.
During the battle of Hong Kong in the Second World War heavy fighting took place around the College, which was among the last British strongholds to surrender to the Imperial Japanese Army. Shortly after surrendering the Imperial Japanese Army broke into the College (which served as a military hospital during the battle) and murdered wounded soldiers of the Allied forces. (see St. Stephen's College incident) The Japanese later merged the College with part of Stanley Prison to form the Stanley Internment Camp.
The College reopened after the war and a chapel was built in 1950 to remember those who died during the Japanese occupation.
Originally a private school, St Stephen's College became a government-funded public school during the late 1900s. Since the 2008-2009 academic year, the College has become a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) School, which is a historic change to the College as it freed the school from the centralised funding system that currently administers secondary education in Hong Kong. Students enrolled in the 2002 Primary 1 class at St Stephen's College Preparatory School, also based in Stanley, were the first group of students to enter the DSS system. In order to upgrade the school administrative level, this is the first secondary school in Hong Kong to employ a Registered Professional Housing Manager on its staff to manage and handle all property and facilities-related issues for and on behalf of the school.
