SynopsisIn Daily Giving Service: A History of the Diocesan Girl's School, Hong Kong, Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung and her fellow contributors present a comprehensive history of one of Hong Kong's oldest girls' schools. As an alumna of the school, Chan-Yeung traces the history of her alma mater from its establishment in 1860, to its development over the last 160 years until the recent decade. Having experienced stability and turbulences in Hong Kong in the twentieth century the school has become one of the most prominent girls' schools in the city. In several chapters written by other alumnae, various aspects of school life of different eras are reconstructed and remembered. The author and other contributors focused on the postwar era in which Hong Kong grew from a small city to a global metropolitan. The expansion of the Diocesan Girls' School largely followed this trend. The history of the school has also long been connected with the socio-economic development of Hong Kong society, sharing its happiness and sadness., A history of a Hong Kong girls' school that illustrates the city's dynamic development through the first-hand and archival accounts of its alumni. The Diocesan Girls' School is one of Hong Kong's oldest girls' schools, founded during British rule in 1860. As an alumna of the school's Class of 1955, Professor Moira Chan-Yeung traces the history of her alma mater from its establishment through its development over the last 150 years in Daily Giving Service . Having grown alongside Hong Kong as it expanded from a small city to a global metropolitan center, Diocesan has become one of the most prominent girl's schools in the city and serves a significant role in the history of education and growth in the region. With contributions from other alumni, this book recounts various aspects of school life throughout different eras, illustrating the connection between the socioeconomic development of Hong Kong and this cornerstone of regional education.
