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.

On 31st January, we were delighted to welcome our community back to the STC and SJS campus for our annual Winter Festival. While the weather may have been grey, it certainly didn’t dampen our joy or our commitment to fundraising💞!
We loved seeing our students, families, and even some familiar alumni faces back on campus. It was a beautiful reminder of what makes our community so special. 🤝💙
A huge thank you to the STC PTSA and SJS PTA for hosting such a fantastic event. We also want to extend a particular thank you to our incredible Facilities Team, who worked late into Saturday evening to ensure the campus was ready for lessons.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so memorable! 💙✨
We are thrilled to highlight a powerful collaboration between art and well-being. This initiative brought together 17 Year 12 students and one Year 9 student, working alongside renowned artist @ta_x_ka , Shatin Hosital, and @esf_englishschoolsfoundation .
Drawing inspiration from student designs, the mural promotes health through nature and positive ageing. Titled "Transforming Walls: Transforming Communities," the artwork symbolises the deep connection between the Sha Tin and Tai Po communities. It reflects themes of regrowth and vitality, particularly significant following the recent Tai Po fires, showcasing local mountains and symbols of healing for patients and staff.
Beyond the art, this project strengthens our ties with the medical field, offering future internship and mentorship opportunities for our students. It is a true testament to how community spirit can foster meaningful change. 🤝💙
A huge well done to everyone involved, and a sincere thank you to ESF Centre for the funding and support that made this vision a reality!
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing alumni who joined us for Alumni Careers Evening💞!

We were honored to host Matt Friedman, CEO of The Mekong Club, this past Tuesday, January 27th.👏
It was a powerful and sobering session as Matt shared firsthand accounts of the realities of modern slavery, stories that are often hidden in plain sight. He didn’t just highlight the heartbreak; he broke down the mechanics of how the private sector is being held accountable and the vital role of corporate responsibility in ending exploitation.
He reinforced the idea that modern slavery is a global crisis, but by making conscious choices as ethical consumers, we can all be part of the solution💪.

A huge highlight was the CNY Food Stall hosted by our wonderful PTSA, where students sampled a delicious array of traditional snacks and New Year cakes. To top it all off, we were treated to a spectacular Lion Dance performance by the UWC LPC team, showcasing the power and beauty of this traditional art form.🐉
We were also honoured to host the Lion Dance by UWC LPC team for a breathtaking performance that brought the whole school together. 🦁🥁
Thank you to the Chinese Department and our PTSA for your hard work in bringing the New Year spirit to life on campus! 🧧❤️
📸Shout out to Hans Yan from @stcmediateam for his support on some of the photography in this post.
On 31st January, we were delighted to welcome our community back to the STC and SJS campus for our annual Winter Festival. While the weather may have been grey, it certainly didn’t dampen our joy or our commitment to fundraising💞!
We loved seeing our students, families, and even some familiar alumni faces back on campus. It was a beautiful reminder of what makes our community so special. 🤝💙
A huge thank you to the STC PTSA and SJS PTA for hosting such a fantastic event. We also want to extend a particular thank you to our incredible Facilities Team, who worked late into Saturday evening to ensure the campus was ready for lessons.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so memorable! 💙✨
We are thrilled to highlight a powerful collaboration between art and well-being. This initiative brought together 17 Year 12 students and one Year 9 student, working alongside renowned artist @ta_x_ka , Shatin Hosital, and @esf_englishschoolsfoundation .
Drawing inspiration from student designs, the mural promotes health through nature and positive ageing. Titled "Transforming Walls: Transforming Communities," the artwork symbolises the deep connection between the Sha Tin and Tai Po communities. It reflects themes of regrowth and vitality, particularly significant following the recent Tai Po fires, showcasing local mountains and symbols of healing for patients and staff.
Beyond the art, this project strengthens our ties with the medical field, offering future internship and mentorship opportunities for our students. It is a true testament to how community spirit can foster meaningful change. 🤝💙
A huge well done to everyone involved, and a sincere thank you to ESF Centre for the funding and support that made this vision a reality!
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing alumni who joined us for Alumni Careers Evening💞! With over 60 students in attendance, we shared insights, conducted mock interviews, and held a Q&A session covering diverse fields like finance, hospitality, medicine, and law. Your contributions are invaluable in shaping our students' futures!✨

We were honored to host Matt Friedman, CEO of The Mekong Club, this past Tuesday, January 27th.👏
It was a powerful and sobering session as Matt shared firsthand accounts of the realities of modern slavery, stories that are often hidden in plain sight. He didn’t just highlight the heartbreak; he broke down the mechanics of how the private sector is being held accountable and the vital role of corporate responsibility in ending exploitation.
He reinforced the idea that modern slavery is a global crisis, but by making conscious choices as ethical consumers, we can all be part of the solution💪.
