ABOUT US
Statement on Education for Sustainable Development at STC
At Sha Tin College, we challenge our students to make meaningful contributions to the world. Our priorities, guided by our core values of “Be curious, Be inclusive, Be generous, Be responsible”, are to sustain an inclusive culture where every voice contributes to school life, where students can lead their own learning and engage with challenging ideas; amplify an inclusive and unifying Sha Tin College culture; and enable every student to lead their own learning, in school and beyond.
TAKING ACTION
Empowering Responsible Global Citizens
Our school has undertaken a multifaceted approach to empowering our students as responsible global citizens and contributing to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This includes collaborating with the Transformative Action for Sustainable Schools (TASS) initiative to integrate SDG-related topics and projects into our curriculum, organizing regular recycling competitions to foster environmental responsibility, and providing volunteering clubs that allow students to engage with different charities and organizations, supporting local and global communities. Additionally, we implement a "No Resources Week" to raise awareness about resource scarcity and sustainable consumption patterns, and organize an "Odd Socks Day" to promote student wellbeing and destigmatize discussions around mental health. Through these diverse initiatives, we are committed to creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
