Kellett Receives Prestigious Membership of Headmasters’ and Headmistress’ Conference

Kellett School, the British International School in Hong Kong, is pleased to announce that following an assessment of Kellett Senior School, the Principal Ann Mc Donald has been admitted as a member of The Headmasters’ and Headmistress’ Conference (HMC). 

HMC, established in 1869, is a professional association of the heads of the world's leading independent schools, with the vast majority of members in the British Isles. Membership of the Conference has long been a hallmark that exemplifies quality, innovation and excellence in education, encompassing pastoral care, co-curricular provision as well as classroom teaching. 

“Ann Mc Donald’s membership, combined with the IAPS membership recently awarded to the Heads of our Prep Schools, Jo Laufer of Kowloon Bay and Ben Dixon of Pok Fu Lam, is strong acknowledgement that Kellett provides our students with a world class education. I would like to thank every one of our fantastic staff for their ongoing commitment to excellence and this amazing achievement for which they should be extremely proud,” said Peter Goulston, Chairman of the Board of Governors at Kellett School.

HMC membership entitles schools to access a wide variety of training and professional development opportunities for staff at all levels and the opportunity to develop international links, share ideas and good practice for students and staff across HMC's extensive international network of members.

In Kellett’s Senior School small classes and a low student to teacher ratio, coupled with exciting and engaging teaching, help students reach their academic potential and achieve the School’s aim of engendering 'a love of learning and confidence for life'. Beyond the classroom, educational visits during Global Outlook Week to countries like Thailand, Mongolia, Malaysia, and many others, help students broaden their horizons, experience different cultures, and take a step closer to becoming global citizens.
