History
St. Paul's Secondary School is a Catholic Grant-in-aid Anglo-Chinese Secondary Grammar School for girls. In keeping with the school's founding principle of meeting the changing needs of the times, it always endeavours to take on a leadership role in curriculum renewal. It has been the fore-runner of science education for girls in Hong Kong, and one of the first girls' schools in Hong Kong to offer science subjects and Computer Studies in the upper forms and Computer Literacy in the lower forms. It introduced Integrated Science in the late 60s, Computer Studies in the late 70s, Computer Literacy and Family Life Education in the early 80s and implemented IT in Education in the 90s. It was selected as one of the 10 pilot secondary schools in the IT in Education Pilot Scheme in 1998.
To date, it has widened its curriculum and developed itself into a fully integrated educational institute with Arts, Sciences, Commercial and Social Sciences at all levels.
