True Light Girls' College (TLGC, Chinese: 真光女書院) is a Christian girls' secondary school in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was founded in 1973, to commemorate the centenary of the first True Light Middle School, which was founded in 1872 in Canton by an American missionary, Harriet Newell Noyes.[1] It is run by the Kowloon True Light Middle School Management Board with assistance of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China.
The school is an aided EMI secondary school. Since the school was built according to the standards 30 years ago, a lot of effort has been made to improve the basic facilities of the school premises to meet the needs of the fast changing society. A new annex was completed in autumn 2005,[2] providing 4 more classrooms and some special rooms in addition to the 20 classroom in the main building. There are a total of 24 classrooms, 16 special rooms, a hall, a covered playground, a canteen, a library, a student activity room, a gymnastics room, a badminton court and two basketball courts. Student TV and School History Gallery were established in the year of 2013 with an aim to celebrating the school's 40th Anniversary. Later on, an E-learning Center was built in 2014 to facilitate students' learning with the convenient use of the gadgets and the easy accessibility of Wi-Fi network. [3]
