Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong officially opened to students on the 29th August 2018 as scheduled.
An excited founding group of children joined their new teachers on campus and gathered themselves into class groups. With so much to see and so many people to meet, the majority of activity focused upon helping students to settle into their new environment and learn about their new classmates.
This underpinning emphasis on pastoral care will ensure that children feel cared for and ready to learn. This work will continue in earnest as we look to develop confident, well-rounded and resilient students.
Early Years students gathered in their communal area on the third floor and played games, with parents looking on.
One parent shared: “The whole experience this morning has been excellent. We particularly love the facilities and the green view of the mountainside from classrooms.”
The Shrewsbury team have delivered on every front. We were excited to meet our new teachers and were glad to hear that they have settled into life here so quickly. The team are boundlessly enthusiastic about our children and we know that they are in excellent hands.”
Primary students gathered in the auditorium to meet their teacher for the first time before setting off up to their classroom where they had the chance to meet their new classmates. One child said “My teacher is amazing! It was great to see my new classroom and even better to meet all of my new friends. I can’t wait to come back!”
Principal, Mr Ben Keeling, was encouraged by the efforts of his school team and keen to focus upon the weeks and months ahead. “Today marked a significant threshold and certainly warrants recognition in celebration of the enormous efforts made by the school team, but the journey of the school has only just begun. We provide a unique range of experiences and opportunities for primary aged students - parents will soon feel the benefit of all we offer. The school team is determined to demonstrate the advantages of a Shrewsbury education with great clarity.”
Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong offers a range of specialist spaces, designed exclusively for children aged between 3 and 11, within a brand new purpose built campus. Regular tours run throughout the school year and admission for 2019 is now open.
