Saturday, 13 September 2025Welcome to Shung Tak Catholic English College (STC)!
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to our school community. It is an honour to join the STC family as Principal in September 2025, and I am eager to introduce you to our vibrant community of learners and educators. As you explore our school website, you will see God’s love reflected in all we do.
Founded in 1958 by Reverend Father John B. Wong King-in, our school was established to provide quality Catholic and English education for the Yuen Long community. As a Diocesan school in Hong Kong, our mission is to empower students to excel academically and glorify the Creator through their work. We are committed to nurturing bilingual, independent thinkers who are socially aware and ready to contribute positively to our ever-changing world. Guided by our school motto, “Ora et Labora” (Pray and Work), our students, known as Shungtakians, are encouraged to lead prayerful lives and demonstrate diligence in their studies.
I would like to express our gratitude to the dedicated priests, sisters, and former principals whose decades of contributions have laid a solid foundation for the continuous growth of STC. With the steadfast support of our teachers, parents, alumni, and the local community, we strive to provide an exceptional educational experience for every student.
At STC, our students learn with kindness and compassion, tackle challenges with discernment, and serve with responsibility and gratitude. We celebrate our strengths, blending tradition with innovation to equip our students for today’s challenges and future opportunities. We believe that a strong emphasis on well-being is essential for our students to flourish both academically and personally. I invite you to explore the extensive activities and achievements beyond the classroom. What makes STC unique is our emphasis on academic excellence, engaging learning experiences, and meaningful opportunities for Shungtakians to develop their strengths and become tomorrow’s leaders. Whether you are a prospective student, parent, or colleague, I hope you enjoy discovering our community. On behalf of the entire STC family, we look forward to welcoming you to our school as we embark on this lifelong learning journey together.
God bless,
Norris Lai
Principal
