Tung Wah Group of Hospitals S. C. Gaw Memorial College (Chinese: 東華三院吳祥川紀念中學; TWGHs S. C. Gaw Memorial College or S. C. Gaw for short) is a secondary school on the Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong. The school is under Tiger's Head or Fu Tau Shan (虎頭山), surrounded by four resited villages, Tai Wong Ha, Yim Tin Kok, Lam Tin, and San Uk.
S. C. Gaw Memorial College is a co-educational school, accepting both boys and girls. The majority of students are residents on the island though there are many students from various part of Hong Kong. Established by a charity organisation, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in 1984, the school is largely fund by the aids of the Hong Kong Government. The medium of instruction is in English, Cantonese and Chinese.
In the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) of 2007&2010, several students had notably good results.
Before the establishment of the school, it was on the site of the village of Ha Chung Mei closed to Tsing Yi Lagoon. During the 1980s, Tsing Yi Island was under drastic development of Tsuen Wan New Town. The surrounding of school site was reclaimed for new town. The population of Tsing Yi Island was expected to increase drastically and the government was planned for more schools to cater more children and youths.
