Jockey Club Ti-I College, secondary school in Hong Kong
Jockey Club Ti-I College is a secondary school in the Sha Tin District located in Fo Tan on Lok King Street, featuring a large campus with multiple buildings and bright walls marked in both English and Chinese. The campus includes art studios for drawing, printing, sculpture and photography, along with extensive sports facilities including tennis courts, basketball courts, a gym and a swimming pool.
The school opened in September 1989, over 30 years ago, founded on the vision of late governor Sir Edward Youde who wanted students to develop skills beyond their regular lessons. His proposal aimed to create a place where students could focus on academics alongside sports and arts to become well-rounded individuals.
The school's Chinese name translates to 'Jockey Club Sports and Arts School', emphasizing its focus on physical activity and creative expression. The logo designed by Kan Tai Keung features an art palette and a running figure shaped as the character 'Ti', visually representing the school's core values of athletic and artistic development.
The school offers a dormitory accommodating up to 96 students who live far away or prefer to stay on campus, making it easier to participate in sports practices and school activities. The campus is well-organized with clear signage in both English and Chinese, helping visitors navigate the facilities easily.
Students choose between focusing on visual arts or sports before starting classes, allowing them to develop specialized skills in their interest area while studying standard subjects. The school achieved a rare feat in 1999 by winning basketball tournaments in both boys and girls categories, demonstrating the strength of its athletic program.
