Piercy Sykes Featherstone Sargent Goodban George She The Diocesan Boys' School (DBS) is a day and boarding Anglican boys' school in Hong Kong, located at 131 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon.

As stated in its first annual report, the purpose of the school was "to introduce among a somewhat superior class of native females the blessings of Christianity and of religious training".

The school sat on Bonham Road, a small concrete house on a paddy field.

The Second Opium War aroused strong anti-British sentiment and so it was very unpopular for Chinese girls to learn English.

[7] On 30 January 1869, in a bid to gain popular support, Bishop Alford issued an appeal to admit boys into the school and to turn it into an orphanage.

Bishop Burdon proposed to stop admitting boys into the school and to bring it under the FES.

In July, he withdrew his proposal following pressure from William Beswick, honorary treasurer of the DHO, although the Bishop still thought it inappropriate to have boys and girls boarding in the same school campus.

[12] Piercy focused on the students' academics, and the school attained satisfactory results in the Cambridge and Oxford Local Examinations scholarships.

[19] During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, most of the school staff, including then-headmaster Gerald Goodban, were imprisoned.

The school building was transformed into a military hospital for soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army.

As headmaster, Canon She welcomed students from poor households and affirmed the Chinese language in school culture.

Based on his previous experience in the school, he restructured the administration to improve efficiency and appointed more teachers to posts with designated duties.

In 2002, Lai was succeeded by Terence Chang, an old boy and then-headmaster of Jockey Club Ti-I College.

On 4 October 2002, the school committee proposed to join the Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) with effect from September 2003.

In September 2012, Chang retired and Ronnie Kay Yen Cheng – an alumnus who had been the conductor of the school choirs – succeeded him as headmaster.

[28] The school is located on Kadoorie Hill in Ho Man Tin, Kowloon City District.

Currently, both the Primary and Secondary Division follow the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority's curriculum.

In March 2009, the school received media attention when a Form 4 student complained that he had had a nude female model as a subject in his art class, and alleged embarrassment.
