St. John's College was founded in 1912 and it was the first residential hall in the University. We emphasize that "the College is more than a hall of residence".

"College" better represent our mission - a College is the gathering together of a body scholars for the formation of human character through sports and cultural activities, and the pursuit of academic excellence through discipline study and open discussions.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Ms. Joanna Yuen, Managing Director at Live Nation (Hong Kong) Ltd., for being our guest speaker at the end of Term High Table. Her insightful speech offered valuable perspectives on the evolving landscape of live events and entertainment, emphasising the opportunities and challenges currently faced by industry professionals.
This last High Table of the semester, in addition to bidding farewell to the final-year students, also provides an opportunity to present a new scholarship - the “James and Michelle Memorial (JMMS*) Scholarship”. We are delighted to announce that Ms. Cheng Pui Kiu, Zelda has been awarded this year's JMMS Scholarship, the first recipient of this meaningful award with HKD5,000.

Her commitment, responsibility, and kindness have earned her this well-deserved recognition. Congratulations to Zelda!

We were deeply honoured to have Professor Lau Chak-sing, BBS, JP, Dean of Medicine, HKU Vice-President and Pro-Vice Chancellor (Health), as our distinguished guest speaker. His insightful talk, “Innovations and Challenges in Medical Education and Research,” shed light on how shifting demographics are changing disease patterns, and on how the evolution of medical technology must keep pace. The Q&A session that followed was equally inspiring—Professor Lau shared from his own journey, leaving us all with much to reflect on. 🩺📚
What made the night even more special was the presence of our MBBS alumni who joined us, bringing together doctors from different eras under one roof. Old photos, familiar faces, and cherished memories—an uplifting reminder that SJC will always be your home.
Last but not least, 28 student leaders from Dream Compassioneers joining us for this special High Table, adding energy and fresh perspectives to the evening. It was truly inspiring to see our community come together in the spirit of service and learning.
