St. Rose of Lima's College, secondary school in Hong Kong
St. Rose of Lima's College is a secondary school located in Shatin, Hong Kong, that combines moral education with academic learning for students. The modern campus features classrooms and facilities for sports, clubs, and extracurricular activities that support both learning and community building.
The school was founded in 1948 by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary to serve the Hong Kong community. It relocated to Shatin in 1999 and the secondary section was renamed 'College,' marking a shift toward expanded programs and better facilities for advanced studies.
The school is named after Saint Rose of Lima and reflects her Christian values in daily school life through community events, sports activities, and service projects. Students experience these principles during assemblies, class celebrations, and moments of shared responsibility that shape the school community.
The school is situated on Ngan Shing Street in Shatin and is accessible by public transportation for students from different parts of Hong Kong. As this is an active school campus, advance notice or permission is advisable before visiting the premises.
The original primary school remained at Embankment Road while the secondary section relocated to Shatin in 1999, allowing each division to develop independently. This separation enabled the secondary campus to introduce specialized programs such as STEAM education and cultural exchanges that enhance student learning.
