Sha Tin Junior School embeds wellbeing into its curriculum using the IB learner profile, encouraging students to reflect, discuss, and take action on emotional, social, and physical balance. They run “Emotion Talks”, Friendship Clubs, mindfulness practices, and Family Yoga sessions to support SEL. A counsellor is part of the student support team to help students feel heard and guided.
SJS describes a “Specialist Provision” section on its “Our Approach / Outstanding Education” menu, but the site does not publish detailed public information on exactly which types of SEN they support or staffing levels.
The school does not provide information about "EAL" in particular.
Sha Tin Junior School includes a school counsellor in its wellbeing structure, and maintains a health nurse on campus to support students’ health and wellness. The school also uses regular “Wellbeing / Mindfulness” practices, growth-mindset framing, and inclusive environments as part of its approach.
SJS (via ESF) maintains a formal Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, aligning with Hong Kong law, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and international child protection standards.
The school states that all staff are trained in preventative and protective measures, and that each school has at least two dedicated Child Protection Officers.
Sha Tin Junior School (SJS) is an ESF primary school in Fo Tan, Sha Tin, serving around 900 students aged 5–11. It follows the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and is part of Hong Kong’s largest English-medium school organisation. On campus, students benefit from sports, arts and drama facilities, and the programme regularly extends learning beyond classrooms through trips, excursions and camps. SJS emphasises student leadership, with roles such as Student Council, House Captains, CARE Reps and Environmental Reps. Language learning focuses on English and Mandarin, with support for home languages. The school is easily reached in the New Territories—visitors are advised to take the 69K light bus from Sha Tin Station, as there is no on-site parking. Notably, SJS highlights initiatives recognised in its IB evaluation, including the Global Goals Award Scheme and increased student engagement.
