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:
“American universities are organized on the principle of the nuclear rather than the extended family. Graduate students are grimly trained to be technicians rather than connoisseurs. The old German style of universal scholarship has gone.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“A complacent old Don of Divinity
Used to boast of his daughter’s virginity:
“They must have been dawdlin’,
The students of Magdalen—
It couldn’t have happened at Trinity.””
—Anonymous.
“Separatism of any kind promotes marginalization of those unwilling to grapple with the whole body of knowledge and creative works available to others. This is true of black students who do not want to read works by white writers, of female students of any race who do not want to read books by men, and of white students who only want to read works by white writers.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
