Ying Wa Girls' School was founded in 1900 by Helen Davies of the London Missionary Society.

[3][4] Supported by the Education Bureau, a new campus will replace the existing one on the same Robinson Road-Bonham Road site which has housed the school for over a century.

On completion, available ground area will be expanded by about 50%, thus making it possible to overcome the recurring and constant lack of space since the founding.

In November 2011, Ying Wa Girls' School received HK $10 million from the Li Ka Shing Foundation.

Students complain about the strangling feeling, especially when they look downward to read or write at the desk, yet the school has a strict rule about keeping the collar properly hooked closed at all times, even during the hottest summers.

The tightly fit collar permits poor ventilation, keeping perspiration inside the uniform, which becomes soggy when the weather is humid.

However, once they learn to endure these hardships, the uniform turns to the most significant icon of their blissful life in Ying Wa, and a source of pride for its graduates.

The aim of establishing the house system is to strengthen the students' ties to the school.

The school maintained that consent forms had been signed by the girls at the beginning of filming and during the production.

Cheung issued an apology, as did Ruth Shek Yuk-yu, the former headteacher of the college who was involved in the film.
