St. Paul's College, Hong Kong
Encyclopedia
St. Paul's College is an Anglican
day school
for boys in Mid Levels, Hong Kong
and is located adjacent to University of Hong Kong. Established in 1851, it is the oldest secondary school
in Hong Kong that is still in operation. The College comprises an all-boys primary school section (Primary 1-6) and secondary section (Forms 1-7). A small number of girls are enrolled in the final two years. The College Council enjoys a special status in Hong Kong, in that it is a statutory body incorporated by a local ordinance, the St. Paul's College Council Ordinance. The aim of the College is to "provide education to Chinese youths in the English language upon Christian principles".
The College opened in 1851 with one tutor and nine pupils. Today, it has 1200 pupils in the secondary section and nearly 600 in the primary section.
competed in the earliest inter-school football matches ever played in the colony. The college again became an Anglo-Chinese school and was then under the headmastership of Mr. A. T. Fryer in 1878. The college was suspended in 1899 and the building was used as a training school for Chinese Catechists. Rev. P. A. Bunbury was in charge.
highlighted the primitive facilities of the school at this time in his article about St. Paul's history: "Some of us can remember the old south wing - two enormous classrooms on the first floor and one on the ground floor - the rest of the space taken up with wide verandahs and staircases, the whole constructed of ancient and somewhat worm-eaten wood, which must have caused a headache to the Insurance Company; the bad lighting and amazing discomforts which would not be tolerated by modern schoolboys."
The enrolment soared to 300 and extensions became necessary. In 1911, the Wu Ting Fang Hall and St. Paul's Church were erected. In 1914, St. Paul's Girls School (now St. Paul's Co-educational College
) was founded by Rev. A. D. Stewart's sister, Kathleen Stewart. Headmaster Rev. A. D. Stewart retired and his brother Colonel Evan George Stewart
took charge in 1930.

. The school resumed its individual status in 1949 and went on to be known as St. Paul's College once again when its campus on Bonham Road
was completed, while St. Paul's Co-educational College remained, as its name implies, co-educational. The Revd. G.L. Speak was appointed Principal in 1959.
During the Hong Kong 1967 Leftist Riots, the then Form 6 pupil Tsang Tak-sing
was expelled from the school and prosecuted for distributing leaflets promoting Communism
and Public order crime
. Tsang was sentenced to two years in prison as a result. He later went on to become a deputy to the National People's Congress
of Communist China
, a member of the Central Policy Unit
and, on 1 July 2007, the Secretary for Home Affairs
in the Hong Kong Government. Mr. Ha Wing Ho, Timothy was appointed Principal in 1969. St. Paul's College bloomed quickly in the late 20th century. In 1979, the compeltion of St. Paul's College Alumni Association Tse Yu Chuen Swimming Pool, marked the completion of our greatest building project of the decade. Its construction was made possible by funding from parents, old boys and, most importantly, the Alumni Association. In 1992, St. Paul's College was the first aided school to opt for the Direct Subsidy Scheme. However, the scheme was eventually suspended when the government policy changed. Under DSS, the school would have been given maximum freedom with regard to curriculum, school fees and entrance requirements. St. Paul's College Primary School was relocated to a new spot at Hill Road

9:10. They are translated in English as "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (KJV) ("Timor Domini Principium Sapientiae" in Latin and can be found in graduation certificates of earlier days). The fact that the motto is in Chinese is significant. While it was more the fashion at that time to use Latin for such a purpose, the far-sighted founders of the school saw St. Paul’s College as a hub to foster bilinguals and to bring together the cultures of the East and the West.
The Missions of St. Paul's College is to offer modern, liberal education to Chinese youths in the English language (but including the subject of Chinese language in the curriculum) upon Christian principles, Protestant and Evangelical, as professed by the Sheng Kung Hui.
The educational goals of the College, in accordance with its mission, may be described as:
Pilgrimages were expeditions made by individuals or groups to places where God had shown His power in some special ways. Often the journeys were long and dangerous. The pilgrims did not mind, because they believed their spiritual lives would be enriched and deepened by their pilgrimage. Often the pilgrim wore on his hat or cloak a badge indicating his destination. Those going to Santiago de Compostela wore a scallop shell. Perhaps it was a reminder of the small boats in which many of them travelled. Perhaps it had a more practical use as a vessel used in baptism or drinking vessel. At any rate, it eventually became a sign of pilgrimage in general, and a symbol of baptism, signifying new life.
The pilgrims carried new ways of thinking and of doing things to places that were badly isolated from the larger world. They were people on the move - people on the way to somewhere else. Like the pilgrims of old, Paulines are people on the move. When they leave school, many of them literally go to other parts of the world bringing new ways of thinking and of doing things wherever they go. Even those who stay in Hong Kong are also pilgrims, for life itself is like a journey from childhood to youth, to middle age and beyond. It can, and should, be a pilgrimage of mind and spirit towards a fuller and better life both for themselves and others; and like the pilgrimages of old, can enrich and deepen their spiritual lives in the process.
The crown may also refer to the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him (James 1:12). 'The Christian', writes William Barclay, 'has a royalty that other men have never realized, for, however humble his earthly circumstances, he is nothing less that the child of God.'
Undoubtedly the crown relates chiefly to the Kingship of Christ. Jesus the Saviour reigns. The decisive battle in the war against evil has been won by Jesus Christ on the cross. Men still rebel against his rule. That is why there is still so much trouble in the world. But he is King, and final victory is assured.
The fact that the motto is in Chinese is significant. It was more the fashion at that time to use Latin for such a purpose. When St. Paul's College was founded, the main aim was 'the offering to Chinese youths of a modern, liberal education in the English language (but including the subject of Chinese language in the curriculum) upon Christian principles ...' Bringing together the cultures of East and West and the fostering of bilingualism have been the well-established traditions in the school. The success of so many St. Paul's alumni in the life of Hong Kong and other communities because of this training testifies to the far-seeing wisdom of the school's founders.
The current campus is located at 69 Bonham Road
, Hong Kong.
For one hundred years before World War II, St. Paul's College was located in Glenealy, Central, in the buildings currently called Bishop's House and now the headquarters of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. The College buildings were occupied during the war leading to St. Paul's College being merged with St. Paul's Girls' College to form St. Paul's Co-educational College
(SPCC).
At the end of the Occupation, St. Paul's College was re-established in its own right and granted permission to use the former HKU St. John's College
site as its new campus. By the mid-1960s, all the old St. John's Hall buildings had been replaced.
The Wong Ming Him Hall, built in 1951, is the oldest building on campus. It is a 3-storey multi-purpose building which was once used as a table-tennis room, art room and music room. The building was renovated in 2007-2008 and now houses a multi-purpose rehearsal room, a Board room and the Archives. The College swimming pool
is next to the Wong Ming Him Hall.
The St. Paul's College Students' Association (abbreviated as SA) is the students' organization of the College. It is the main body which conducts on the fields of students' welfare and communication with the school. The SA is also the oldest students' organization in all secondary school
s in Hong Kong. The Executive Council is the decision making body of the Students' Association, and the ExCo contains the committees, which are listed as follows:
The Students' Association is led by the SA president. At the beginning of each school year, a SA presidential election is held. All students vote for a candidate. The term of office for each president is one school year. The current president of the Students' Association for the 2010-2011 school year is Leung Tat Hang, Samuel, representing the Covalent cabinet. He is also the first SA president from F.5.
The colour of each house coincides with the first letter of the house name.
Each House is led by a House Master, and a number of Assistant House Masters/Mistresses. The events in the Annual Sports Day and Swimming Gala are mostly inter-house events, with the exception of a few inter-class events. Most competitions between the houses are sports competitions, while academic ones are rare.
Newly-admitted F.1 students are randomly distributed into the 6 houses. House members may purchase and wear house badges on voluntary basis.
The old College Song was titled The Old St. Paul's College, based on the 18th Century ballad "John Peel".
The current College Song was composed in the 1970s by Rev. Moses Wu, the music teacher at the time; lyrics by C. F. Miles. It is generally sung during major College events such as Speech Day, the Swimming Gala and Sports Day. The College Song will be played by the College orchestra
at Speech Day.
The College Hymn, We Build Our School on Thee, O Lord, is also sung during important services and at morning assemblies.
The College traditionally followed a system of education similar to Britain
. In 2009 the New Senior Secondary system was introduced across the Hong Kong SAR. This involved moving away from the English model of seven years secondary schooling to the Chinese model of three years of junior secondary plus three years of senior secondary. The two public examinations HKCEE and HKALE will be replaced by one public examination called the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE). In addition to the HKDSE and to provide more opportunties for students, the College also offers the IGCSE
and GCE
A-Level examinations.
Classes from Form Four onwards are three-stream classes (Arts or Business or Science). Under the New Senior Secondary (NSS) educational structure
, students now choose 3-4 elective subjects to specialize in, together with the compulsory subjects of Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics and Liberal Studies. As of 2010-11 academic year, Economics, BAFS (Business, Accounting and Financial Studies), Geography, History, Chinese History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Combined Science, ICT (Information and Communication Technology), Chinese Literature, Music and Visual Arts are offered by the College as elective subjects.
Previously, under the old education structure, Form Four and Five students would prepare for the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) and all students must take English, Chinese, Mathematics and Religious Studies as their core subjects. History, Chinese History, Geography, Economics, Principles of Accounts, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Additional Mathematics and Computer & IT are offered according to the streaming. Matriculation classes (Lower and Upper Six) are three-stream classes (Arts, Mathematics or Biology). Use of English, Chinese Language and Culture, Chinese Literature, Economics, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Pure Mathematics, Appiled Mathematics, Mathematics & Statisticsand Computer Application are offered. Students will take Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE or A-level) at the end of matriculation. The last batch of students under this educational structure will graduate from the College in 2012.
Physical education, Religious Studies, Music, Visual Arts are compulsory for all students. The College also runs a summer tuition course (known as "Bridging Course") for newly admitted Form One students to improve their foundation in English. There are also remedial classes in Chinese, English and Mathematics for students requiring additional assistance.
The College publishes a school magazine and a school newspaper annually. The Student Publications Council, part of the Students' Association, is responsible for that.
The name Wayfarer, which means a traveller on foot, symbolises achieving dreams by eliminating obstacles. It was first published in 1958 but was subsequently suspended until 1963, when the College started to publish Wayfarer annually. The first colour Wayfarer, Issue 45, was published for the 2006-2007 academic year (155th Anniversary of the College). To date, Wayfarer have altogether published 46 issues.
Wayfarer includes College Report, photographs of classes and groups, features and contributions.
The Arts Union and the Science Union organise the Arts Week and the Science Week respectively, with such programmes as book and
club exhibitions and inter-class competitions. In addition, the Science Union participates in the Joint School Science Exhibition during the summer holidays every year.
The School provides many opportunities for students to participate in community services through the service clubs or groups such as the Interact Club,the Community Youth Club, the Junior Police Call, the Youth Red Cross and the Scout Group. Social services undertaken include collecting toys and second-hand clothes, participating in fund-raising walkathons and flag-selling activities for charitable purposes, organizing fun-fairs for the mentally retarded, and paying visits to the homes for the aged.
The Recreation Union comprises many clubs which cater for various interest groups. Apart from organising inter-class drama competitions, the Drama Club also stages joint performances with other schools during the school year. Another popular club is the Bridge Club which participates in various inter-school tournaments very actively each year.
An Artist-in-Residence programme was established in 2007/8 with Dr. Stephen Ng (USA: tennor) the inaugural artist. Subsequent artists-in-residence have been Mr. Branko Stark (2008/9, Croatia: composer-conductor), Mr. Peter Walmsley (2009/10, Australia: brass-conductor) and Mr. Clive Harries (2010/11, England: organist-choir-conductor.

History
Establishment
St. Paul's College is the world's first Anglo-Chinese school. Its founder, the Revd Vincent John Stanton, is also the first Colonial Chaplain of the former Colony of Hong Kong. In 1841, Rev. Vincent Stanton, who was appointed the first Colonial Chaplain in Hong Kong in 1843, raised funds in England to start an Anglo-Chinese school in Hong Kong which subsequently became St. Paul's College. St. Paul's College opened for the purpose of teaching English to Chinese boys in 1849. Located at Glenealy of today's Central district, the school started with one "tutor", Mr. Mocrieff, and nine boys. St. Paul's College was officially founded in 1851. Bishop Smith, the first Warden noted that the number of students had swelled to 33. Mr. Mocrieff, the school's only tutor, went to India where he was killed in 1857 in the Indian Mutiny. The college was suspended from 1857 to 1862. Bishop Burden turned the building into a school mainly for English speaking boys. This school lasted from 1873 to 1878. During this time St. Paul's College and St. Joseph's CollegeSt. Joseph's College, Hong Kong

The motto, missions and visions
The Chinese characters in the school motto (寅畏上主是為智之本) are from ProverbsBook of Proverbs
The Book of Proverbs , commonly referred to simply as Proverbs, is a book of the Hebrew Bible.The original Hebrew title of the book of Proverbs is "Míshlê Shlomoh" . When translated into Greek and Latin, the title took on different forms. In the Greek Septuagint the title became "paroimai paroimiae"...
9:10. They are translated in English as "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (KJV) ("Timor Domini Principium Sapientiae" in Latin and can be found in graduation certificates of earlier days). The fact that the motto is in Chinese is significant. While it was more the fashion at that time to use Latin for such a purpose, the far-sighted founders of the school saw St. Paul’s College as a hub to foster bilinguals and to bring together the cultures of the East and the West.
The Missions of St. Paul's College is to offer modern, liberal education to Chinese youths in the English language (but including the subject of Chinese language in the curriculum) upon Christian principles, Protestant and Evangelical, as professed by the Sheng Kung Hui.
The educational goals of the College, in accordance with its mission, may be described as:
- To cultivate a healthy attitude to life and the world and to expose students to the Christian message.
- To inculcate civic awareness in students and to develop them into responsible and useful citizens of community with respect for intellectual property, human rights, freedom and justice.
- To enable students to develop their intellectual potential fully, to think logically and creatively, to study and solve problems independently, and to communicate effectively in English and Chinese.
- To develop students' skills and abilities in Information Technology and to arouse the interest in life-long learning.
- To develop students' physical and musical skills and abilities and to encourage enjoyment in sports and music.
- To encourage the appreciation of the arts and development of artistic talents and skills.
- To promote respect for the views and opinions of others, harmonious relationships in school, the family and the community, and participation in community affairs.
- To develop in students the ability to cope with adverse situations and emotional problems.
The Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms is similar to the Coat of Arms of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. It shows that St. Paul's College is a school sponsored by the Sheng Kung Hui.The Scallop Shell
The scallop shell was the emblem of St. James the Great, who was the patron saint of pilgrims. There is a legend that he travelled to Northwest Spain, and preached there for seven years. He was later beheaded in Judea by King Herod Agrippa I (Acts 12:2). According to the legend, his body was eventually taken back to Spain and buried at Santiago de Compostela. From the ninth century to the sixteenth century, hundreds of thousands of Christians came to Santiago de Compostela on pilgrimages.Pilgrimages were expeditions made by individuals or groups to places where God had shown His power in some special ways. Often the journeys were long and dangerous. The pilgrims did not mind, because they believed their spiritual lives would be enriched and deepened by their pilgrimage. Often the pilgrim wore on his hat or cloak a badge indicating his destination. Those going to Santiago de Compostela wore a scallop shell. Perhaps it was a reminder of the small boats in which many of them travelled. Perhaps it had a more practical use as a vessel used in baptism or drinking vessel. At any rate, it eventually became a sign of pilgrimage in general, and a symbol of baptism, signifying new life.
The pilgrims carried new ways of thinking and of doing things to places that were badly isolated from the larger world. They were people on the move - people on the way to somewhere else. Like the pilgrims of old, Paulines are people on the move. When they leave school, many of them literally go to other parts of the world bringing new ways of thinking and of doing things wherever they go. Even those who stay in Hong Kong are also pilgrims, for life itself is like a journey from childhood to youth, to middle age and beyond. It can, and should, be a pilgrimage of mind and spirit towards a fuller and better life both for themselves and others; and like the pilgrimages of old, can enrich and deepen their spiritual lives in the process.
The Shepherd's Staff
The shepherd's staff was used by the shepherd to keep the sheep on the right path. Jesus often used this illustration in his teaching. So it has become the symbol of the care and guidance which the church minister (pastor or priest) gives to others. This kind of care involves showing active concern for the physical, social, psychological and spiritual well-being of a person in practical ways. It is not only clergymen who show this kind of care. Teachers and social workers too do it for many. All of us can do it in one way or another. It should be the aim of Paulines to show this kind of care for others. It is the aim of our school to care for the physical, social, psychological and spiritual welfare of all.The Key
The key reminds us of the words of Jesus to Peter, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 16:19). William Barclay, a well-known Christian author, has written, 'The promise that Peter would have the keys to the Kingdom was the promise that Peter would be the means of opening the door to God for thousands upon thousands of people in the days to come. The plain fact is that it is not only Peter who has the keys of the Kingdom, every Christian has, for it is open to every one of us to open the door of the Kingdom to someone, and to enter into the great promise of Jesus Christ.' The key is always there. It really depends on whether we want to grasp it.The Open Book
The open book reminds us of the Bible - open for us all to read. As the Bishop of Guidford has written, 'The whole Bible is a gift of God to the world. He guided its many writers and he watched over its editing and completion during many generations. For many years he has strengthened and guided his people through the pages of the Bible ... He continues to speak to us and our contemporaries as we read and study its pages.' God speaks to us through the Bible. Would we listen to him? The open book also suggests knowledge. Gaining knowledge is of course what we go to school for.The Crown
Above all these is a crown. The original description says that it is an 'eastern' crown. This may remind us of the tradition that the three wise men or Magi who came from the east to worship the infant Jesus were also kings. Tradition has generally supposed that they came from Persia or Arabia. But who knows? They might have come from as far away as China.The crown may also refer to the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him (James 1:12). 'The Christian', writes William Barclay, 'has a royalty that other men have never realized, for, however humble his earthly circumstances, he is nothing less that the child of God.'
Undoubtedly the crown relates chiefly to the Kingship of Christ. Jesus the Saviour reigns. The decisive battle in the war against evil has been won by Jesus Christ on the cross. Men still rebel against his rule. That is why there is still so much trouble in the world. But he is King, and final victory is assured.
The Cross
The power which earns for Jesus the title of King is the power of self-sacrificing love. In our school badge, the diocesan emblems are surrounded by a cross. The cross is the symbol of self-sacrifice. As Jesus died on a cross, the cross reminds us how much God loves us. As Jesus rose from the dead, the empty cross reminds us of Christ's risen life, and his victory over the powers of evil. However strong the forces of evil are, Love - Christ's kind of love - lives on and conquers all. So the cross is the Christian's badge. We are all encouraged to love God, and to love our neighbours as ourselves.The Motto
The Chinese characters in the motto under the cross are from Proverbs 1:7. They are usually translated in English as 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. 'The Hebrew version could be translated as 'The most important part of knowledge is reverence for the Lord.' We spend most of our time in school acquiring knowledge. Our motto reminds us that we must not forget 'the most important part.' The understanding of God gives a whole new dimension to our knowledge. Knowledge now becomes true wisdom. Knowledge makes sense when it is seen in this light.The fact that the motto is in Chinese is significant. It was more the fashion at that time to use Latin for such a purpose. When St. Paul's College was founded, the main aim was 'the offering to Chinese youths of a modern, liberal education in the English language (but including the subject of Chinese language in the curriculum) upon Christian principles ...' Bringing together the cultures of East and West and the fostering of bilingualism have been the well-established traditions in the school. The success of so many St. Paul's alumni in the life of Hong Kong and other communities because of this training testifies to the far-seeing wisdom of the school's founders.

College Song and Hymn
St. Paul's College School Song
