Welcome from the Principal

Dear Parents,

A warm welcome to Sha Tin Junior School to you and your family.  Choosing a school for your child is a very important responsibility.  As a parent you naturally want the best for your children, preferring a primary school which has a positive ethos, where children are happy in their schooling, where expectations are consistently high, and where children emerge well-prepared both academically and socially for the challenge of the secondary phase of their education.

At SJS we look to meet these high standards.  We aim to provide a school environment where children feel secure, where they are involved and excited by their learning and where they expect to work hard and enjoy success.

Our curriculum is based on the Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate Organization.  It is a broad, inquiry based international curriculum.

When they leave us at the end of Year 6 the majority of our children move confidently to Sha Tin College, our partner ESF secondary school.  Transition procedures between our two schools are effective and well established.  A small number of children move to other schools in Hong Kong and overseas.

In welcoming your family to our school community, I would stress that we believe the education of your child to be a partnership and I express the hope that, together through mutual support and participation, we can ensure that our child is successful and enjoys their time at Sha Tin Junior School.

Best wishes.

Perry Tunesi
