In Faith Go Forward
St. Stephen's Girls' College is a Christian school whose primary aim is to provide good education in a Christian spirit. It strives to educate the 'whole person' by emphasising the moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic, as well as spiritual development of every student. It aims to help students to achieve academic excellence, to develop their own potential, to become responsible citizens and future leaders, and to serve the community.
Form 1 -6: 5 classes Total : 30 classes
It was reported in the South China Morning Post on 7 May 2011 that the school was charged a fine of $200,000 for pruning a candlenut tree in an "unprofessional" way on campus, violating some terms in the tenancy agreement. After clarifying the issue and providing evidence to relevant government departments, the school was given retrospective consent to the pruning procedure, subject to payment of an administrative fee of $43,000 and agreeing to undertake tree restoration measures.
The college planned to apply to join the Direct Subsidy Scheme(DSS) in the early 2013. The idea sparked controversy and anger from concerned parents and alumni. On July 7, 2013, over 150 people participated in a widely reported protest in the rain against the college's plan to join the Direct Subsidy Scheme. In total, the college council has held over 30 information meetings with alumni, parents and other stakeholders, yet there was no clear consensus. Eventually on 19 August 2013, the college decided to cease its application to join the DSS.
