Our school uniform contributes to a sense of community and belonging. These guidelines are centred on these values and recognise the needs of our diverse community. They also further aim to facilitate safe and positive learning experiences.

These guidelines encompass the uniform worn by all students in Years 7-11 and the Years 12 – 13 dress code. The Sha Tin College uniform service is handled by ESF Central Procurement. Uniform orders can be placed online here or made directly at the School Uniform store in Lai Chi Kok.

The standard uniform consists of:

• Navy blue shorts, skorts or trousers with ESF logo.
• White cotton shirt, short-sleeved, with school & ESF logo.
• Plain white or navy socks, long or short.
• Shoes should be fully enclosed, low-heeled, sturdy and non-slip (dress shoes or trainers).
• Navy blue fleece or sweatshirt with ESF logo.
• Navy blue team hoodie.
• When the HK Observatory Cold Weather Warning is in place, students may wear additional non-uniform layers for warmth.

The PE uniform consists of:

• Plain blue or black shorts.
• School PE shirt in House colours.
• Black or blue swimwear and swim cap.
• Trainers.

Students may wear their PE uniform for the full school day when they have a scheduled PE lesson.
