Queen Elizabeth School, Hong Kong

1

Queen Elizabeth School, or ****QES and QE (伊中 or 伊利沙伯) for short, is a secondary school in Hong Kong. The school was the first English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) (Anglo-Chinese) co-educational secondary school founded by the Government of Hong Kong. It is located on a mound at the boundary of Sai Yee Street and Prince Edward Road West in Mong Kok, Kowloon. The school was conceived in 1953 when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned. Later it was run in September 1954 but operated as an after school on the premises of King's College, until October 1955 when it moved to the present location in Mong Kok. The QES school camp in Tsam Chuk Wan, Sai Kung, New Territories was opened in 1962. With the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong to China in 1997, the original school badge with a crown was changed to a new one with the logo of the Education Department. Later, the Education Department was replaced by the Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) (now Education Bureau, EDB), and the school badge was changed again. The school's new annex was opened in September 2004.
