===The Millennium (2003–present)=== [[File:Ying Wa College.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The millennium campus located in [[Sham Shui Po]].]] The relocation of the college was wildly debated within the school.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/sport/20091110/00286_013.html|title=英華愈變愈Young|date=2009-11-10|publisher=Oriental Daily|language=zh}}</ref> Some feared that by withdrawing from the [[Kowloon Tong]] school zone, the standard of the college would be lowered. Others deemed that the [[Sham Shui Po|Sham Shui Po District]] was far too distracting for the school to be set up there. But so far, it was proven that the new campus provided students with more space to engage in activities. Students also organised service projects to serve the neighbourhood, which was regarded as the poorest in Hong Kong. Yeung stepped down in 2003 and was succeeded by Mr Roger Lee, an old boy of class 1979. Students were encouraged to join various kinds of activities and competitions and has won a lot of inter-school sports and music awards. In 2004, the handball team won the Inter-school Handball Competition for the tenth consecutive year. The Ying Wa Heritage, a school museum, was established in 2005. Old artefacts and documents relating to the college were displayed, including a Bible published by the college back in the 19th century. Some of them were on display in an exhibition of the [[Hong Kong Museum of Education]] of the [[Hong Kong Institute of Education]] in 2012.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.museum.ied.edu.hk/exhibitions/current_exhibition/SSB.html |title=Hong Kong Museum of Education |access-date=4 November 2012 |archive-date=20 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130420232113/http://www.museum.ied.edu.hk/exhibitions/current_exhibition/SSB.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> In March 2007, the board of directors decided to join the [[Direct Subsidy Scheme]] (DSS) with effect from September 2007, making it the ninth school in Hong Kong to join the DSS.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hk.appledaily.com/local/20070317/DPT2VB3PISEVPCEVR3PYTCRLYY/|title=英華明年轉直資 學費二萬|website=AppleDaily|access-date=2007-03-17|archive-date=7 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210107120343/https://hk.appledaily.com/local/20070317/DPT2VB3PISEVPCEVR3PYTCRLYY/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Roger Lee informed the students of his decision to leave the school in March 2011. Mr Allan Cheng, the Vice-Principal(Academic) and an old boy, served as the Acting Principal since September 2011. On 11 November 2011, a celebration fun day for the 193rd anniversary of the college was held. It was the biggest anniversary celebration activity held since 2003. On 23 November 2012, the Supervisor of the college confirmed that Cheng would become the Principal with effect from 1 January 2013, subject to final approval from the Education Bureau. On 9 November 2018, Hong Kong Post issued a Stamp Sheetlet to celebrate the "Bicentenary of Ying Wa College." It features the College motto "Live the Mission, Brave the Course". In February 2021, Didi Tang stated that in light of the imposition of the [[2020 Hong Kong national security law|Hong Kong National Security Law]], Ying Wa College "reportedly lost about 60 students in months."<ref name=TangDidiTimes/>
