About Us
The College, founded in 1905 with Sr Clelia Martinelli, an Italian missionary as its first principal, made its mark in history as the oldest school of commerce in Hong Kong. Sr Clelia taught her first 25 students Shorthand, Typing and Bookkeeping, the secretarial skills needed at that time. Her vibrant personality did much to enliven the tiny beginnings and to soundly establish the new venture.

In the early 1950's the curriculum was enriched and upgraded, providing secretarial and commercial training to secondary school graduates. In 1970, the College was formally registered with the Education Department as 'Sacred Heart Canossian Commercial School'. Subsequently, the College was re-registered and renamed as 'Sacred Heart Cannossian College of Commerce' in 2000, to reflect its upgraded curriculum.
