Rosaryhill School Bus, in 2019

Rosaryhill School (Chinese: 玫瑰崗學校) is a co-educational school in Hong Kong, offering kindergarten, primary and secondary education. The school is set to close by the end of the school year 2023-2024.

History

The school was founded by the Dominican Fathers in 1959.

Since the establishment of Rosaryhill School, the position of Supervisor has been filled by Dominican priests. Fr. He Yousun is the current supervisor of Rosaryhill School.

In April 2019, a teenage boy was injured in a violent attack by a fellow student with a pen at the secondary section. A 16-year-old Form Three student was injured on the left side of his face by a 17-year-old Form Two student during the school's lunch break.[1]

In 2009, four girl students were caught taking ketamine on school premises.[2][3]

In 2023, it was announced that the primary school would be given over to the Dalton school group, that the middle school would be closed after the 23/24 school year, and that no new students would be entered into the system. The last form 6 class will graduate in 25/26, and the entire school turned over to the Dalton group.[4]
