What is Sha Tin Methodist College's website (stmc.edu.hk)?

Updated

stmc.edu.hk is the official website of Sha Tin Methodist College (STMC), a government-subsidized secondary school in Hong Kong. The site is the school's main public information hub, covering its background, leadership, academic results, curriculum, policies, student life, and publications. It is most useful to current and prospective students, parents, alumni, and anyone researching the school.

What the school is

According to the site, Sha Tin Methodist College was founded in 1983 and is sponsored by the Methodist Church, Hong Kong, working alongside churches and service centres in the Sha Tin parish. It describes itself as a government-subsidized secondary school serving the local community.

The school states its mission as providing education across spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic aspects, with whole-person care as a priority and a stated aim of helping students build character and serve people and society.

Who it is for

  • Prospective students and parents — school background, curriculum, language and assessment policies, HKDSE results, and scholarships give a picture of what the school offers.
  • Current students and families — the school calendar, policies, committee information, and intranet link support day-to-day needs.
  • Alumni — the Alumni Association and AGM pages, plus publications and Campus TV.
  • Researchers or media — plans and reports, media articles, and the school brochure provide official documentation.

Practical notes

  • The site is in English, with content oriented to a Hong Kong secondary school audience.
  • Some areas, such as the school intranet, are internal links likely intended for staff and students rather than the general public.
  • The school calendar shown covers 2026–2027, and the brochure is dated 2025, so check dates on individual pages if you need the current year's information.
  • The site does not publish admissions procedures, tuition, or fee information in the material available here; for those details, contact the school directly rather than assuming terms from the website.
