In order to facilitate students’ all-round development as life-long learners with a focus on sustainable capacities and to nurture the five essential Chinese virtues, 'Ethics, Intellect, Physical Development, Social Skills and Aesthetics' (德、智、體、羣、美), all S.1 and S.2 students have to enroll in any one or two of the three categories in the “Sin Tak’s SUM” Scheme. These three categories include (i) Sports teams; (ii) Uniform groups (Girl Guides, Red Cross, Scouts); (iii) Music Instrumental Classes.
