St Stephen's Girls' College (SSGC) (Chinese: 聖士提反女子中學) is a grant school in Hong Kong under the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Anglican Church). Established in 1906, SSGC is a top girls' school and among the oldest schools in Hong Kong. It is managed by the St. Stephen's Girls' College School Council. The school first opened in 1906. The first principal was Miss Carden. Originally on Caine Road, the school moved to its current location at Lyttelton Road, Mid-Levels, in 1923. It has a history of voluntary social service and involvement in charitable work going back to 1920.In 2001, the school was one of a group of "traditional élite schools" criticised by the then Secretary of Education and Manpower Fanny Law for what she saw as reliance on rote teaching. Staff from the school defended it.

Mid-Levels
Mid-Levels

Mid-Levels is an affluent residential area on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It is located between Victoria Peak and Central. Residents are predominantly more affluent Hong Kong locals and expatriate professionals. The Mid-Levels is further divided into four areas (From the below, Mid-Levels of Central District can be subdivided into two Mid-Levels. Included: Mid-Levels West and Mid-Levels Central): Mid-Levels West (near Central, Sheung Wan and Sai Wan including Bonham Road, Caine Road, and Conduit Road etc. Mid-Levels Central (near Central, Admiralty and Wan Chai ,above the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens and Hong Kong Park .Including MacDonnell Road, Kennedy Road, Old Peak Road and Bowen Road) etc. Mid-Levels East (near Causeway Bay, including Jardine's Lookout, Stubbs Road and Mount Butler), Mid-Levels North (near North Point including Braemar Hill).Aside from the panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the rest of the city, it is also close to Central and Admiralty, which are both significant business areas, thus providing easy and convenient access for the business people living in Mid-Levels. An added attraction of the Mid-Levels is its close proximity to nature and comparatively better air quality than many parts of Hong Kong Island. Many wealthy people in Hong Kong are willing to pay higher residential property prices for a residence that is further away from pollution and yet remains close to the centre of the city. Many streets are named after former Governors of Hong Kong. Examples include Bonham Road (after George Bonham, 1848–1854) and Kennedy Road (after Arthur Edward Kennedy, 1872–1877). Many of the roads in this area are within walking distance of the Central Business District, which is accessible by the Mid-Levels escalator from Central. Many choices for housing are available, from ultra-luxurious apartments to compact, near-luxury apartments. The costs of these apartments vary considerably according to the size, location, and age of the building. The cost ranges from the high ten million dollars to over five hundred million Hong Kong dollars for an apartment in a Frank Gehry-designed building. Many prestigious colleges and schools are located in Mid-Levels, including the University of Hong Kong, St Francis' Canossian College, Island School, King's College, Ying Wa Girls' School, St. Paul's Co-educational College and St. Joseph's College, to name a few.
