St. Paul's Convent School (SPCS, Chinese: 聖保祿學校) is a private Catholic girls' school in Hong Kong founded by the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres from France in 1854. The school was formerly called French Convent School and was renamed St. Paul's Convent School in 1955. SPCS counts a total of 15 winners of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students Awards, ranking fourth among all secondary schools in Hong Kong. Revered as one of the top schools in Hong Kong, St Paul's Convent School has an impressive track record of strong public examination results and student acceptances to top universities all over the world. The school boasts a long list of distinguished alumni in fields of politics, education, entertainment, communications and business.
The school comprises three sections: kindergarten, primary and secondary, with an overall aim to "provide a seamless bilingual education for girls in an inspiring and motivating learning environment so that they will learn to embrace the Paulinian heritage of truth, beauty, goodness, nobility and honour."
The school's motto is Omnia omnibus, Latin for "Being all things to all people" (1 Cor 9:22).
Hark! Daughters of the great St. Paul, Come listen to his call: "O children of this loved school, The loving nurse of all. Rejoice in God, do work and pray. Be true from day to day." Beloved school of mine, My pains and joys are thine. My childhood's early dreams. Are closely linked with thee. The hope that heaven brings. Thou dost unfold to me. Thou dost unfold to me.
Sweet are the days of girlhood, When friends we love and care. Those golden links of childhood, Whose sympathy we share. Do stay and while the hours away With us in work and play. And when we leave. Our dear old school, These mem'ries we'll recall! These mem'ries we'll recall!
