As part of the English Schools Foundation(ESF), our students are supported by the largest English-medium international school organisation in Hong Kong, providing them the resources and opportunities not found outside of ESF Schools.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the centre of who we are at ESF Sha Tin College. We challenge our students to make meaningful contributions to the world. We aim to sustain an inclusive culture where every voice contributes to school life, where students can lead their own learning and engage with challenging ideas.
Our students' outstanding achievements reflect their hard work, dedication, and resilience and the unwavering support of our dedicated staff and the wider community.
The Sha Tin College approach to experiential learning empowers our students to explore beyond and discover themselves and others, and the world around them. With a focus on building a strong sense of community, where students can develop essential life skills and demonstrate sustainable practices, our holistic approach aims to nurture well-rounded individuals who are well-equipped for life and intent on making a meaningful impact on the world.
We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all students. Our student support and wellbeing systems include Peer Supporters, Heads and Deputy Heads of Year, Wellbeing Counsellors, Social Workers and Child Protection officers. Our explicit wellbeing curriculum empowers students to take responsibility for their own well-being and contribute positively to our community.
Sha Tin College embarks on initiatives to underscore our commitment to fostering a supportive and engaged school community, addressing the wellbeing needs of students and parents through strong family engagement.
Our Years 7 to 9 students follow the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), offering a challenging and practical learning framework that supports students' transition and integration into the secondary school community, building a solid foundation of critical thinking and global mindedness for the middle and senior years.
In Years 10 and 11, the curriculum is designed to provide a dynamic and inclusive educational experience, with the aim of preparing students for success in a rapidly changing world. Rooted in academic excellence and enriched by our core values of curiosity, generosity, responsibility, and inclusivity, our program fosters intellectual growth, emotional resilience, physical well-being, and social development. We aim to ensure that when students leave us, they are well-rounded individuals ready to contribute as active members of a global society.
The main programme for Years 12 and 13 study is the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP), where students can follow the full DP or choose individual DP courses at Higher or Standard Level. For those with defined career aspirations, we proudly offer the IB Careers-related Programme (CP), providing an alternative pathway tailored to their future goals.
We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all students. Our child protection officers are dedicated to addressing any concerns promptly. Our supportive learning environment empowers students to take responsibility for their own well-being and contribute positively to our community.
Our House system is a vibrant and inclusive community that fosters leadership, collaboration, and engagement among students of all ages. One of the hallmarks of the House system at STC is the emphasis on leadership development. The House system has been instrumental in creating a sense of belonging and community among students.

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.

Congratulations to our students for this outstanding achievement! Your hard work, dedication, and scientific innovation have made Sha Tin College and Hong Kong proud on the global stage.🎊
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.✨
Our students recently participated in the Intermediate Physics Challenge (IPC) and Senior Physics Challenge (SPC) organised by the British Physics Olympiad. These rigorous competitions test fundamental physics principles and real-world applications, aiming to enhance students' lateral thinking skills and help them reach their full potential in physics.⚛

From the participants to the Impact Fair to the Organising Committee (shoutout to Cathy Yang, Isaiah Liu, Nikki Moy, and Zihan Liu), our community’s presence was felt throughout.
We are also incredibly proud of our student filmmakers🎬👏. Two projects exploring food insecurity (by Angela Mak, Hazel Lam, Themis Ho, Tiffany Zhong, and Grace Chung, Kari Wan, Rosanne Wong, Tabitha Tay) were shortlisted for the Docathon showcase, while a third documentary by Gabrielle Lee, Scarlett Man, and Teresa Rana provided a powerful lens on domestic labour during the summit’s workshops.
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! 🔥🔥🔥
Eight year 11 students competed in the City University of Hong Kong Science Patent Challenge, and on Saturday 13 March, they made their final pitch and prototype demonstration in front of the judges. 👏
Congratulations on winning 1st place🏆! The students will now have a patent attorney register their invention of a smart helmet for firefighter safety.
✨Well done to Janey XING, Jolly WONG, Jodi LEUNG, Nicholas LEE, Suan LEE, Feifan ZHANG, Purple LAU, Andy PAN.👏👏👏

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! 🔥🔥🔥
