Principal’s Message

Welcome to Sha Tin Government Secondary School Webpage.  As the principal of STGSS, I am delighted to share my ideas with you.

As the new academic year unfolds, I would like to take this opportunity to share our school’s major concerns and aspirations for our community. One of the school’s major concerns is to develop students into active learners who engage deeply with the world around them. We believe that learning is not confined to textbooks; it is a dynamic process that thrives on curiosity and exploration. To achieve this, we encourage students’ involvement in various projects that stimulate critical thinking and creativity. We promote Reading across the Curriculum, enabling students to connect ideas and integrate knowledge and skills in meaningful ways. Thematic learning is a cornerstone of our approach, allowing students to explore subjects in an interconnected manner that reflects real-world scenarios.

Equally important is our commitment to students’ well-being. Another school’s major concern aims to provide learning experiences that foster a healthy lifestyle and instill positive values. This means that while we strive for academic excellence, we also place significant emphasis on mental health and overall well-being. We recognize that a healthy mind is just as crucial as a healthy body, and we are dedicated to supporting our students holistically.

This year, we focus on the 4Rs: Rest, Relax, Resilience, and Relationships. These principles guide our efforts to create a supportive environment where students can flourish. To ensure that we actively promote the 4Rs in our school community, various subjects and committees will organize activities centered around these principles. These activities range from workshops and seminars on mental health to team-building exercises that strengthen relationships among students. We encourage students to participate in these opportunities to enhance their learning experience and personal growth.

One more tip to share with youngsters: A key aspect of maintaining good mental health is establishing a regular routine. I encourage my students to cultivate healthy habits by setting consistent time slots for studying, exercising, and relaxing. A good balanced schedule can help reduce stress and improve focus, allowing one to perform the best not only in academic pursuits but also in extracurricular activities.

Together, let’s foster a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered in STGSS. I look forward to seeing the wonderful accomplishments that will arise from our collective efforts and commitment to excellence.

Thank you.
