In Daily Giving Service: A History of the Diocesan Girl's School, Hong Kong, Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung and her fellow contributors present a comprehensive history of one of Hong Kong's oldest girls' schools. As an alumna of the school, Chan-Yeung traces the history of her alma mater from its establishment in 1860, to its development over the last 160 years until the recent decade. Having experienced stability and turbulences in Hong Kong in the twentieth century the school has become one of the most prominent girls' schools in the city. In several chapters written by other alumnae, various aspects of school life of different eras are reconstructed and remembered. The author and other contributors focused on the postwar era in which Hong Kong grew from a small city to a global metropolitan. The expansion of the Diocesan Girls' School largely followed this trend.

The history of the school has also long been connected with the socio-economic development of Hong Kong society, sharing its happiness and sadness.
