St. Paul's Co-educational College, Anglican secondary school in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
St. Paul's Co-educational College is a secondary school in Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The institution spans multiple buildings in the Mid-Levels and provides students with various facilities for classroom work, sports, and extracurricular activities.
The school was founded in 1915 as a girls-only institution and underwent major changes following World War II. In the mid-1940s it opened to students of all genders and became the co-educational school it remains today.
The school serves as a meeting point where students from different backgrounds come together for academic and sports events throughout the year. These gatherings shape how young people in the city connect with each other and build friendships across school boundaries.
The school offers two educational pathways for students with different goals and interests. Students can pursue either the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme depending on their plans.
The school pioneered mandatory student uniforms in Hong Kong in 1918, becoming the first educational institution to do so. This practice was later adopted by numerous other schools and remains woven into the city's school culture today.
