Students
The school currently has roughly 1,187 students enrolled, from ages 10 to 19.
Sha Tin College is a private comprehensive school, thus does not accept students from an academic perspective, but those who are already fluent in English, or those who cannot attend local schools. The student population and demographics are predominantly Asian – notably middle-upper class Hong Kongers with dual nationality – when compared with other international schools.
Students from the New Territories and North Kowloon are generally assigned to this school, with the exception of Sai Kung and Clearwater Bay.

“Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
—Women’s Liberation Workshop, Students for a Democratic Society, Radical political/social activist organization. “Liberation of Women,” in New Left Notes (July 10, 1967)
