Campus
The College is located at 7 Kennedy Road which is only five minutes walk from Central, the central commercial district of Hong Kong. Neighbours include St. Joseph's Church and Hong Kong Park. St. Joseph's Path, which joins Kennedy Road and Garden Road, runs along the east side of the College.
The College's architecture is an interesting combination of typical colonial European (British Imperialist) and modern styles. The Old Building (north block), constructed in 1920, houses most of the classrooms. The Chapel Block (west block) houses the Old Hall, music room, laboratories, lecture room and school chapel. These buildings were built in a Colonial style reflecting European influences; features include the clock towers, the turret and the verandahs built for ventilation. The two blocks are declared monuments of Hong Kong since August 2000.
The modern New Building (south block), which replaced the original Club Germania on the site, houses the higher grades' classrooms. The New Hall, senior laboratories, library and computer rooms are located here. The Multimedia Learning Centre (MMLC) on the second floor has been in use since 2000. This special room has been equipped with a number of personal desktop computers and various audio-visual instruments for the enhancement of effective teaching.
In 2003, the school had installed kiosks within the campus for students to log in to the Internet. Due to enormous usage, the number of these workstations will be increased.
In 2007, the school had five new rooms : an art room, two staff rooms, a remedial room and an Information Technology Learning Centre (ITLC) under the new hall.
