Mr. Emanual R. Belilios, a Jewish philanthropist, donated HK$25,000 for a new building for the Central School for Girls in 1893, at the old site of Central School where a three-storeyed building was erected between Hollywood Road and Gough Street.

In April 1965, the school moved again, to its present premises in Tin Hau Temple Road.

While its students generally achieve superb academic results, the school promotes also all-rounded development in different fields of arts, music and sports.

Entrance hurdles are high and the school is reputed to have one of the toughest admission criteria in Hong Kong.

7 x 5** "Top Scorers" are described by media and HKEAA as candidates who obtained perfect scores of 5** in each of the four core subjects and three electives.
