What Sacred Heart Canossian School does

Sacred Heart Canossian School (嘉諾撒聖心學校) is a Catholic aided primary school for girls in Hong Kong, founded in 1860 by the Canossian Daughters of Charity and currently located at 26 Caine Road, Mid-Levels. The school serves approximately six grade levels (P.1 to P.6) across 30 classrooms in a 10-story campus with full wireless network coverage, dedicated facilities including an InnoLab STEAM laboratory, English Corner, Chapel, Library, and outdoor playground. Its curriculum is bilingual (Chinese and English with Putonghua), includes Catholic values-based religious education, STEAM, Science, Humanities, Music, Visual Arts, Physical Education, and Life and Moral Education, supported by native English teachers and specialized instructional staff.

The school's technology infrastructure is centered on the eClass IPX platform for parent communication and fee payments (integrated with AlipayHK), supplemented by HyRead digital reading (550 e-books), Google Classroom, Hong Kong Education City, Raz-Kids, and over 25 other educational content platforms covering coding (Scratch, MIT App Inventor, Microbit, Tinkercad), reading, and physical education. Curriculum delivery combines traditional classroom instruction with these digital learning tools, alongside school-based programs such as the Rainbow Reading Reward Scheme and the StoryJumper digital reading report platform.

As a government-aided Catholic school, Sacred Heart Canossian School is primarily funded through Education Bureau subsidies covering operations and teacher salaries, supplemented by minimal fees for services like school bus transportation, extracurricular activities, and nominal admission stamp duty (HK$2.40 per envelope). It is governed by an Incorporated Management Committee and affiliated with the Canossian Daughters of Charity religious order, with a feeder relationship to sister secondary school Sacred Heart Canossian College. The school operates a direct-to-consumer enrollment model for P.1 admissions and, as of 2026-27, also accepts transfer students for P.2-P.5 through a written test and interview process.
