The well-rounded curriculum and nurturing learning environment at the school have played a crucial role in my child's academic achievements. The rigorous coursework and committed teachers have equipped her with vital knowledge while fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, the focus on holistic development has enabled her to thrive not only academically but also as a well-rounded individual. I find the parent engagement events to be incredibly beneficial. Coffee mornings and Back to School information evenings have given me valuable insights into my child's school experience and academic progress. These gatherings promote open communication with teachers and other parents, allowing me to stay informed and actively involved in her educational journey. The sense of community created by these events is both reassuring and supportive.

Sha Tin College had a spooky week with their production of The Addams Family👪.

The strong cast and crew of 40 have been working hard all year on the dark comic musical based on the much loved characters from the US TV show📺. The show deals with what it is like to be different in a world where this is frowned upon - although to the Addams it's everyone else who seem a little peculiar! The focus of this much loved Broadway hit, focusses on the mismatched alliance of Wednesday Addams and her new love - Lucas, who struggles to be accepted.

Well done to everyone involved for entertaining us - and embracing the ethos of the quirky crew that are the Addams! 🔥🔥🔥

On Thursday, 19 March, STC HE team hosted a Higher Education Q&A session for Year 12 parents and guardians, following the success of our recent HE Virtual Evening.🧑‍🏫

The morning session provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to ask follow-up questions about university applications in a more intimate setting. Participants came prepared after reviewing our comprehensive FAQs, with many submitting specific queries in advance to ensure detailed responses.🗣

We were delighted to welcome a representative from a Hong Kong university, who shared expert guidance on the HK application landscape—an increasingly popular pathway for our students. The insights into admissions processes complemented the broader application advice discussed.

The session reinforced our commitment to supporting families as they navigate the early stages of higher education research, ensuring everyone leaves with clearer next steps for the journey ahead.🛣

The show deals with what it is like to be different in a world where this is frowned upon - although to the Addams it's everyone else who seem a little peculiar! The focus of this much loved Broadway hit, focusses on the mismatched alliance of Wednesday Addams and her new love - Lucas, who struggles to be accepted.

Well done to everyone involved for entertaining us - and embracing the ethos of the quirky crew that are the Addams! 🔥🔥🔥

On Thursday, 19 March, STC HE team hosted a Higher Education Q&A session for Year 12 parents and guardians, following the success of our recent HE Virtual Evening.🧑‍🏫

The morning session provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to ask follow-up questions about university applications in a more intimate setting. Participants came prepared after reviewing our comprehensive FAQs, with many submitting specific queries in advance to ensure detailed responses.🗣

We were delighted to welcome a representative from a Hong Kong university, who shared expert guidance on the HK application landscape—an increasingly popular pathway for our students. The insights into admissions processes complemented the broader application advice discussed.

The session reinforced our commitment to supporting families as they navigate the early stages of higher education research, ensuring everyone leaves with clearer next steps for the journey ahead.🛣

We recently had the incredible opportunity to invite Dr. Marvin Chung from HKU for a Cast-Making Workshop!👨‍⚕

This was a "first-time" experience for most of the participants, and it was just as challenging as it was fun! The hands-on experience gave participants a glimpse into real orthopedic medical practice, aiming to guide those interested in a future medical career, whilst fostering laughter amongst themselves - especially seeing everyone walk away with their own casts. 🦾

A huge thank you to Dr. Marvin for inspiring our future medical professionals.✨

Sha Tin College had a spooky week with their production of The Addams Family👪.

The strong cast and crew of 40 have been working hard all year on the dark comic musical based on the much loved characters from the US TV show📺. The show deals with what it is like to be different in a world where this is frowned upon - although to the Addams it's everyone else who seem a little peculiar! The focus of this much loved Broadway hit, focusses on the mismatched alliance of Wednesday Addams and her new love - Lucas, who struggles to be accepted.
