Canossaville was first established as an orphanage in 1941 with the aim of providing care and attention to male and female orphans. In later years, it became a home for girls from single-parent families and troubled homes.

In 1983, the Student Care Centre (previously known as Before and After School Care Service) was introduced to cater to the rising numbers of school-going children being left unsupervised at home during the day.

Canossaville is affiliated to the Catholic Welfare Services and the National Council of Social Service. It was registered as a Charity under the Charities Act on 29 June 1987.  Charity Registration No. 0462.

With effect from 1 January 1997, it became a voluntary welfare organization authorized to receive tax-exempt donations under the NCSS Central Fund (General Fund)  Scheme.  Current effective date: 1 January 2002 to 30 June 2007.
