New haircuts, neat uniforms, and everyone looking their best. It must be school photo week at Pok Fu Lam Prep!

Individual portraits are under way, and the entire PFL community gathered for its annual whole-school photo.

Bringing every year group and member of staff together reflects the close-knit community and shared sense of belonging at Kellett.

Watch this short video for an aerial view of the moment.

Thank you to our photography partner (Jenna Louise Potter Photography) for capturing another slice of Kellett life.

One letter. Forty-four children. Fifty years of Kellett.

In 1976, teacher and parent Joanne Elliott asked whether a solution could be found for younger children unable to start school until September. She invited parents who felt as strongly as she did to help form a Parents’ Association. Their response led to Starters opening with 44 children. One year later, it became Kellett.

Today, more than 1,600 students benefit from that same parent-led determination. Kellett remains parent-founded, parent-governed, and not-for-profit, guided by a love of learning and confidence for life.

Congratulations to our Year 5 and Year 6 students who represented Kellett in the FOBISIA 2026 Codebreaking Competition.

Working through codes and ciphers challenged students to recognise patterns, test different approaches, and persevere when the answer was not immediately clear. The competition gave them the chance to apply their learning to a new problem while connecting with schools across the FOBISIA community.

At Kellett, academic challenges like this develop confident problem-solvers who enjoy the satisfaction of reaching that breakthrough moment.

✨ Fun Fact #10: The bell that came home

Mrs Coultous was among the first supporters of Joanne Elliott’s letter to the South China Morning Post, which called for schools to accept younger students.

Already closely involved with the School, Mrs Coultous formally joined Kellett as a teacher in 1977, teaching Reception and Year 2. She became Deputy Head in 1980 and retired to Northern Ireland in 1996 after 19 years at Kellett.

Her surprise farewell Green Assembly saw the School dressed in green, while former students returned to say goodbye. Mrs Coultous also received the School bell, later recalling: “It still reminds me of hot, sticky days in the playground, when its ring was the most beautiful sound the duty staff ever heard.”

At our London 50th Anniversary event, her daughter Catherine, an Old Kellettonian, returned the bell to the School. It now sits proudly in Paul Tough’s office.

Clementi have made their move.

The Isaac Cheung Memorial Chess Championship concluded today, with Clementi lifting the trophy and ending MacLehose’s four-year winning streak.

Students planned ahead, adapted their strategies, and found creative solutions under pressure. The championship celebrates the game Isaac loved and honours the curiosity, resilience, and joy in learning that inspired the Kellett community.

Congratulations to Clementi, our individual champions, and everyone who competed.

Four Year 12 students led our first Blood Drive of the academic year, with donations that could benefit 130+ patients.

Sophie, Andrea, Karina, and Skyla worked with the Hong Kong Red Cross to organise the event, bringing together students, staff, and parents to give blood.

By turning their idea into direct support for patients across Hong Kong, the students demonstrated the independence, confidence, and leadership that Kellett Sixth Form develops.

Kellett also received an Elite Partnership Award in recognition of its support for blood donation.

196 STUDENTS. ONE SHARED LOVE OF CHESS.

The Isaac Cheung Memorial Chess Championship is under way in our Senior Atrium, with students competing for their Houses across the Honours and First Divisions.

Every game asks students to think ahead, adapt when plans change, and find creative solutions. These qualities reflect the way Isaac approached chess and the resilience with which he lived his life.

The Championship honours Isaac’s legacy by bringing our community together through the game he loved, while giving students the confidence to test their skills across the board.

Follow this week’s competition to see which House takes the trophy.
