Welcome to the website of Shung Tak Catholic English College. This is where you can share in the colourful lives and happenings of our Shungtakians in and around, and out and about our quiet corner of Hung Shui Kiu.
English Excellence. STC is a school where English is the medium of instruction and where English is our foundation. Students are guided and encouraged to make the best use of their English learning opportunities. “English-for-All Days” on Mondays provide ample opportunities for students to practise English with both their peers and their teachers. Competitions in drama, writing, speech, and debating are some of the many platforms we have for students to develop their proficiency, competence, and confidence in the English language. Their stellar results in the HKDSE are testimony to their effort and determination.
Values Education. Being the second pillar in STC, values education is inculcated in students both inside and outside the classroom. The five Catholic core values, namely, truth, love, justice, life, and family, alongside the ten core values, and national security education advocated by the EDB, are the fundamentals of character formation of our students. From values to virtues and from virtues to character formation, Shungtakians are developed into persons who are respectful, responsible, loving, and caring.
Colours of School Life. At STC, Shungtakians enjoy a full range of extra-curricular activities and life-wide learning opportunities – experiential learning programmes, leadership training programmes, uniform groups, etc. Students enjoy their time at STC as they acquire the skills necessary for work and life.
“Hard work without prayer is fruitless; prayer without hard work is aimless”. Guided by the school motto, “Ora et Labora” (Pray and Work), Shungtakians lead a prayerful life and demonstrate diligence in their studies. With the support of teachers, parents, alumni, and the local community, we are committed to providing quality education for all Shungtakians.
You will learn about the colours of Shungtakians’ lives as you navigate the school website. Please take a moment to have a look around.
May God continue to guide us and bless us as we journey through the 65th anniversary of the school and beyond.
