Shau Kei Wan Government Secondary School (SGSS,Chinese:筲箕灣官立中學) is a co-educationalgrammar school operated by theGovernment of Hong Kong in Hong Kong. Located inChai Wan Gap, the school was founded in 1961 and itsmedium of instruction isEnglish.
It was established in 1961.[1] It temporarily shared the building ofClementi Middle School inFortress Hill. The current school campus onChai Wan Road opened in the autumn of 1964.[2] The school building was designed by the Architectural Office of the former Public Works Department, and cost HK$2,707,200.[3]
During the2019–20 protests, students of three neighbouring schools on Chai Wan Road – namely SGSS,Shau Kei Wan East Government Secondary School, andSalesian English School – organised a joint protest in support of a citywide strike in November 2019. They walked silently to school with protest banners, before chanting protest slogans such as "five demands, not one less!" (Chinese:五大訴求，缺一不可) and "Hong Kongers, revenge!" (香港人，報仇), the latter a reference to the recentdeath of Chow Tsz-lok.[4]
In February 2021, during theCOVID-19 pandemic, around 130 form six students and 10 staff members of Shau Kei Wan Government Secondary School were sent to quarantine after spending time in an examination hall with two students who were later found to be infected.[5] The incident prompted some Hong Kong educators to question whether schools should aim to fully reopen.[6]
