Sacred Heart Canossian College of Commerce (嘉諾撒聖心商學書院) was founded by Clelia Martinelli, an Italian missionary, in 1905. It offered classes in typing, shorthand and bookkeeping. In the early 1950's, the curriculum was enriched and upgraded. It provided secretarial and commercial training to secondary school graduates. In 1970, the college was formally registered with the Education Department as "Sacred Heart Canossian Convent Commercial School". Subsequently, the College was re-registered and renamed "Sacred Heart Canossian Commercial School" in 1991. In 2000, the College launched its first diploma programme and further renamed "Sacred Heart Canossian College of Commerce" to reflect its upgraded curriculum. The school closed in 2013 due to a shortage of students.[1]
