St. Catharine's School for Girls (Kwun Tong)

St Catharine's School for Girls (Chinese: 聖傑靈女子中學) is located in Hong Lee Road, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong.

[3] Ms. Bennett first visited the school site at Ngok Yue Shan in late 1965.

As the government first requested an establishment of 24 classes in the school, Ms. Bennett then planned to set up four different subjects (Arts, Science, Commerce and Technical) to satisfy the government.

After a long search, Ms, Bennett proposed the name "St. Catharine's", after Catharine of Alexandria, the patroness of young women, wheelwrights, attorneys, and scholars.

She was considered to be a particularly appropriate model for a school which was to combine academic and technical education.
