The Caritas Chong Yuet-ming Secondary School was first established in 1972 as The St. Godfrey's Prevocational School. The school was renamed Caritas Chong Yuet-ming Prevocational School in October 1997 after the Foundation financed the construction of a new campus. It acquired its present name in January 2001 to comply with new government guidelines for secondary schools and to reflect the school's new curricula.

The original school was housed inside a redeveloped factory, which was deemed inadequate. The Foundation made a donation to rebuild the school in Aberdeen, which was renamed Caritas Chong Yuet-ming Prevocational School. The school was completed in October 1997. In January 2001, the school was renamed Caritas Chong Yuet-ming Secondary School, as it changed its curricula.

The new school consists of three wings covering an area of 4,000 sq. m. and is replete with a grand hall, library, computer lab, a special IT learning center and a number of special workshops.

The new school offers upgraded facilities and an ideal learning environment, in which students enhance their skills and increase their competitiveness
