With the aim of being a leading school in sustainability in Hong Kong, we have pledged to play a pivotal role in confronting the challenges of global sustainability through environmental stewardship.
Our Sustainability Strategy guides our commitment to building a sustainable campus, and integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into our curriculum so that the SPC community can take actions for contributing to the 17 United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The College joined the “Jockey Club BEAM Plus in Schools Projects” organised by Hong Kong Green Building Council and Business Environment Council. The project instilled the concept of green building, helping students and staff members to reduce our carbon footprint by installing light sensors, LED lights, tap aerators and inverter air-conditioners. The College was honoured to be one of the three pioneer schools in Hong Kong to receive the BEAM Plus Existing Schools outstanding certificates. The Green Rating certified by the Hong Kong Green Building Council Limited will be valid for 5 years, until 2027.
Experts in green education also organised learning activities for our students and assisted the College in conducting a green audit. The Sustainability Society run by students in the second cohort of the Sustainable Development Ambassador Programme on the UNESCO Hong Kong Association “Towards Net-Zero School” Project, in which our school is one of the ten participating schools in 2022-2024 School Year, continues to raise students’ awareness of sustainable development through different activities this year.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Action and Awareness Month was taking place in March 2024. This month’s objective is to increase students’ understanding of the SDGs and motivate them to take action on campus and in the community to help reach the goals. This meaningful month, formerly called Sustainable Development Awareness Week, has been led by a group of senior sustainability ambassadors since 2018-2019. It features a wide array of activities that align with the SDG framework for students and teachers to join in.
