History
In 1945, after WWII, many children could not afford to go to school. Therefore, Sisters of the Precious Blood rented a place in Wan Chai as a school and named it 德貞第二女子中學, which was dependent on government subsidies. Seven years later, in 1952, it moved to North Point. And Sisters of the Precious Blood built a playground for it to commemorate Jesus Christ, and changed the name of the school to Precious Blood secondary School(寶血女子中學).
