The Y.W.C.A. Hioe Tjo Yoeng College (HTYC) is at 6 in Ho Man Tin, a residential area in Kowloon, Hong Kong.[1] Lady Black, the wife of Hong Kong colonial administrator Robert Black, put down the cornerstone signifying the start of construction on 15 October 1963.[2] Lady Black stated at the ceremony, "As Patron of the Hongkong Chinese Women's Club, I am delighted to be here today to lay the foundation stone for the school, for which the members of the Club have worked so hard to show, in a positive way, their willingness to help the less fortunate people in this Colony. This school, when it is completed, will be a symbol of cooperation between all members of the varied community of Hongkong."[2] When construction began, the school was estimated to cost $500,000 to build.[2] After construction was completed, the total construction cost was $2.5million.[3] and his wife donated $500,000 to construct the school and $20,000 for school supplies, while the government covered 80% of the construction expenses.[3]
HTYC, a coeducational secondary, became the first school operated by YWCA to be government subsidised.[4] The school had an opening ceremony on 26 January 1972 that was presided over by, Hong Kong's Director of Education. Ellen Li, who was serving as a Legislative Council of Hong Kong Unofficial Member, became the school's supervisor when it opened.[3] Although HTYC could enrol up to 700 students, it had enrolled 249 students by January 1972 who would attend six Form I and II classes.[3] When the first classes were held in September 1972, there were 280 enrolled students.[1]
HTYC began enroling students in form five in 1974 and started offering A-level courses in 1976.[5] The school in 1985 had classes from form one to form seven. That year, it had 700 students, 33 instructors, and 19 classes.[5] Kwok Sai-man, an HTYC alumnus, became its principal in 2021.[6]
