SCIE describes four core qualities: Sincerity, Compassion, Industriousness and Enthusiasm. They show up in practical choices: speaking honestly, listening well and doing your share of the work.
Striving to Be the Best
SCIE prepares students for future opportunities through a challenging international education that pursues the highest academic standards and develops social responsibility, creativity, independence and enthusiasm.
Official SCIE Mission StatementBe truthful, but never use honesty as an excuse for cruelty.
Follow the principles you know to be right; do not lose yourself merely to win others’ approval.
Every student becomes part of one of four Houses: Metal, Wood, Water or Fire. Each House brings year groups together through debates, quizzes, tug of war and sport.


Yellow · White Tiger
Green · Black Tortoise
Blue · Azure Dragon
Red · Vermilion Bird
House competitions bring students from different year groups together. Along the way, students meet older and younger peers, organise events and learn how to take responsibility for a team.
Students can join an established club or, with a teacher sponsor, turn an idea into something new. Each semester's ECA Fair is where those communities begin to meet.
SCIEMUN 2026 was jointly organised by SCIE and NESSIC, with delegates taking part in speeches, motions and moderated debate.

Lunch, rehearsals, club meetings and the cat that turns up by the walkway: these are the details people tend to remember.
A warm meal, something small, coffee or a drink between lessons: lunch is one of the few moments when the pace of campus eases.
01Rice, protein and seasonal vegetables make a familiar meal between lessons.
02When a full meal feels too much, there are smaller dishes and lighter options.
03Food festivals bring students, teachers and families around the same table.
Cantonese yum cha, Chaoshan soups, Hakka dishes and seafood are all easy to find across the city.

Sports Day brings athletics and House life into the same programme. Some students compete; others cheer, organise or photograph the day. Across the year, school teams, sports clubs and House competitions keep physical activity part of ordinary campus life.
