Queen's College (Chinese: 皇仁書院; pinyin: Huáng rén shūyuàn) is the first public secondary school founded in Hong Kong by the British colonial government. It was initially named The Government Central School (Chinese: 中央書院; pinyin: Zhōngyāng shūyuàn) in 1862 and later renamed Victoria College (Chinese: 維多利亞書院; pinyin: Wéiduōlìyà shūyuàn) in 1890, and finally obtained the present name of Queen's College in 1894. It is currently located in Causeway Bay.[1][2][3]
