Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School (CSWCSS) (Traditional Chinese:長沙灣天主教英文中學) is a secondary school in Hong Kong. It was established in 1970 by the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong; Christ the King Church was an affiliated body until 1 September 1999, imbursed by the Government of Hong Kong.
The school is situated on Fuk Wing Street, Cheung Sha Wan. The school is an EMI (English as the medium of instruction) single-sex school. Admitted to the school are all Band 1 students. Before the introduction of the 3-3-4 New Senior Secondary Curriculum, only boys were admitted from Form 1 to Form 5 according to the traditional policy of admission while co-education is introduced at the level of matriculation (i.e. Form 6 and Form 7 respectively). However, after the graduation of the last batch of matriculation students, no more female students will be admitted since September 2012. The decision to revert back to single-sex education was due to a widely publicized prominent sex scandal where a male student had allegedly raped a female student in the school's changing room. School officials expressed grave concern over gender safety issues at school as males make up the dominant student population.
