St. Paul's Convent School (SPCS, Chinese: 聖保祿學校) is a private Catholic girls' school in Hong Kong founded by the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres from France in 1854. The school was formerly called French Convent School and was renamed St. Paul's Convent School in 1955.[2] It ranks third among all secondary schools in Hong Kong (2022).

The school has four sections: nursery N1–N4, kindergarten K1–K3, primary P1–P6 and secondary F1-F6.[3]

The school's motto is Omnia omnibus, Latin for "Being all things to all people, irrespective of race, religion or social status. (1 Cor 9:22).[4]

The summer uniform of St. Paul's Convent School is a white back-buttoned short-sleeved blouse, a checkered skirt with black and white shoes (commonly known as "panda shoes"), a bow tie for kindergarten and primary school students, a normal tie for middle school students. For the nursery students, it is a red and white uniform. [citation needed] The winter uniform is a white long-sleeved shirt and navy blue skirt for middle school students.
