Lage
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]Die Schule befindet sich in den Mid-levels von Hongkong Island, an der Adresse 33 MacDonnell Road.
Geschichte
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]Das College wurde 1915 als St. Paul’s Girls’ College (聖保羅女書院) von der anglikanischen Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui gegründet.[2] Das Schulmotto ist Faith, Hope and Love (Glaube, Liebe und Hoffnung), derived from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13. In 1918, the College was the first school to require students to wear school uniform.
In 1927, the College was moved to 33 MacDonnell Road, and became the site of the school since then.
In 1932, the College adopted the school badge that is still used now.
In 1945, the College resumed operation while St. Paul's Boys' College moved in. Since then, the College began accepting both boys and girls, becoming the first co-educational school in Hong Kong. As the College transformed from a girls school to a co-educational school, a whole-day primary school was established. Mr Maak Ying Kei was appointed as the Headteacher of the primary school.
When St. Paul's Boys' College moved back to their campus in Bonham Road in 1950, the school continued to accept both boys and girls, remaining co-educational. Before the primary school changed into an AM and PM school in 1957, it moved to 1 Calder Path. The position of Headteacher in the PM primary school was taken up by Ms Fok Lan Hing. In 1959, the new west wing of the College was completed as part of the secondary school.
In 1961, Ms Lee Quay Ying was appointed as the Headteacher of the AM Primary School after the retirement of Mr Maak Ying Kei. In 1966, the PM Primary School appointed Ms Chan Kwong Ying to become the Headteacher. In 1967, after Ms Lee Quay Ying resigned, Ms Lui Shui Ying took up the post as the Headteacher of the AM Primary School.
In 1971, a new campus in 33 MacDonnell Road was completed for the primary school. Later in 1979, the choir and orchestra of the College was proudly invited to perform in Thailand.
In 1985, the swimming pool at 1 Calder Path has completed. Later in 1989, the whole 1 Calder Path Annex is completed.
In 1990, Mrs Chan Tang Fung Ming was appointed as the Headteacher of the AM Primary School after the retirement of Ms Lui Shui Ying. In 1992, the choir of the secondary school participated in International Music Festival in Sydney, Australia, and won the Gold Award, the highest award in the competition. The next year, the College made Liberal Studies a compulsory sixth-form subject, being the first school in Hong Kong to do so. In 1996, the headteachers of the primary schools changed once again, with Ms Chan Kwok Yin retiring and becoming the Coordinator of both AM and PM schools, and the Headteacher of the PM School. Ms Wu Shuk Yin became the Headteacher of the AM School. In 1999, the AM & PM School became two whole-day schools, St. Paul's Co-educational (MacDonnell Road) Primary School which appointed Ms Wu Shuk Yin as the Headmistress and St. Paul's Co-educational (Kennedy Road) Primary School which appointed Ms Lee Tuen Yee as the Headmistress.
In 2002, the school joined the Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS). This year, the school admitted its first batch of P1 and F1 DSS students. In 2003, the school successfully made an application under the School Improvement Program, to develop the new annex of the secondary school. In 2006, the two primary schools merged and was renamed St. Paul's Co-educational College Primary School and appointed Ms Lee Tuen Yee as the Headmistress. Under the School Improvement Program, the new annex of the Secondary School was completed. In the same year, as the co-organiser along with HKU, the College hosted the first international student conference, and held it annually in every summer since then. In 2008, the 5-year redevelopment plan of the Secondary School began. In the same year, the primary school moved to a new campus in Wong Chuk Hang, and the Kennedy Road campus was given to the secondary school for temporary use. The choir participated in the 5th World Choir Games in Graz, Austria the same year and has participated in the competition since then every two years in different continents.

Li Chong Yuet Ming Building and Chong Yau Pak Wan Residence Hall was completed as the new extension block of the College.
