Raimondi College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raimondi College (高主教書院) is an all boys' (co-educational at the S.6 and S.7 level) English-medium secondary school located in the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong. It was named after Bishop Timoleon Raimondi, the first Vicar Apostolic of Hong Kong. Ever since its establishment the college has enjoyed a proud reputation in providing high quality education to youths in Hong Kong. The school hopes to instil the values of "preseverance, love and unity" in every student attending the school by promoting "all-round education" in the hope that Raimondians will develop strengths in all areas of their personalities. The school will carry out expansion works in early 2008 which will, in the future, help the school to maintain its well-established reputation as one of the best schools in Hong Kong.
