The College recently announced its intention to become a Direct Subsidy Scheme(DSS)School, an historic change to the College as it will free the school from the centralised funding system that currently administers secondary education in Hong Kong. If the plan is widely accepted by students, parents and alumni, this new plan will be implemented during the 2008-2009 academic year. Pupils enrolled in the 2006 Primary 4 class at St. Stephen's College Preparatory School, also based in Stanley, will be the first group to enter the DSS system. In order to upgrade the school administrative level, this is the first secondary school in Hong Kong to employ a Registered Professional Housing Manager on its staff to manage and handle all property and facilities-related issues for and on behalf of the school.
Every room in the College has a code for the convenience of students.
St. Stephen's College has set up its St. Stephen's College Heritage Trail in 2008, which is the first heritage trail in a school campus.
