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.

Famous quotes containing the word students:
“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they’re killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We’d not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
—Spike Lee (b. 1956)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
