St. Paul's Convent School (SPCS, Chinese: 聖保祿學校) is a private Catholic girls' school in Hong Kong founded by the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres from France in 1854. The school was formerly called French Convent School and was renamed St. Paul's Convent School in 1955.[2] It ranks third among all secondary schools in Hong Kong (2022).
The school has four sections: nursery N1-N4, kindergarten K1-K3, primary P1-P6 and secondary F1-F6.[3]
The school's motto is Omnia omnibus, Latin for "Being all things to all people" (1 Cor 9:22).[4]
The summer uniform of St. Paul's Convent School is a white back-buttoned short-sleeved blouse, a checkered skirt with black and white shoes (commonly known as "panda shoes"), a bow tie for kindergarten and elementary school students, a normal tie for middle school students.[citation needed] The winter uniform is a white long-sleeved shirt and navy blue skirt for middle school students.
The School has also recently built a 'green building', known as the 'Smart Oasis', that integrates technology with nature. Recently, it also established a Lingzhi Farm as well as installed 85" interactive Promethean whiteboards for all classrooms and some special rooms.
The School also has installed some accessibility features for students who may be disabled or have special needs, such as wheelchair ramps, elevators (which are mostly used by the teachers) and accessible toilets.
