Message from the Principal

Sister Margaret Wong, principal

SPCS aims to provide seamless biliteracy and trilingual education for girls in a happy and motivating environment so that they will learn to embrace the Paulinian heritage of truth, beauty, goodness, nobility, and honour.

SPCS is a learning school in a learning world for a learning century, which is now dominated by AI. Hence, our curriculum adapts continuously to the orientation of individuals and the needs of society. Our mission is to safeguard that SPCS remains a sanctuary nurturing growth in wisdom, truth, and grace; fostering a sense of purpose and identity; and promoting health in body, mind, and soul, so that Paulinians can contribute to their home, profession, and society with charity, conscience, confidence, courage, creativity, competence, and commitment.

Our school motto: “Being all things to all people.” (1 Cor. 9:22) aligns well with the development of AI technology which possesses the potential to democratize education by breaking down barriers of geography, language, and socioeconomic status, ensuring every child has access to quality learning regardless of background. In line with our core principle of nurturing students of promise regardless of their financial standing, SPCS has put in place a generous scholarship and fee remission scheme. There are academic and non-academic scholarships. Around 30% of students will benefit from the fee remission/scholarship scheme.

We warmly welcome intelligent and hardworking young girls aged 11-16 to join Grade 7-10 (Form 1-4) for the September 2026/27 school year.
