I’m an avid reader and like nothing better than weekends at home, cat at my feet, reading a novel or magazine, so I was delighted when Laura Tyson proposed changing The Dragon from its newsletter-style to a digital ‘flip’ magazine As we do with students, we are always trying to buck ever-reducing attention spans and promote more considered content In this inaugural edition Laura delves into the Expressive Arts, undoubtedly a strength of the school, that has brought us some truly incredible performances on our various stages over the past term Along with a short guide to our Strategic Vision for the next decade, I explain why outdoor education is high on my list of priorities moving forward, both as way to enrich our students’ education & wellbeing, and to bring them closer to nature as we double down on efforts to tackle climate change I very much hope you take the time, to sit back, relax and enjoy reading about Kellett, the incredible learning that takes place, the achievements attained and getting to know more individuals in our remarkable community
Paul Tough Principal & CEO
Rebecca Findlay - Head of KLB Prep
As I reflect on my first term at Kellett, I am struck by how settled and happy I feel to be part of this wonderful school and community
The campus continues to amaze me with its world-class facilities Each day brings new discoveries, from the vibrant performances in the David Kidd Theatre – where I recently enjoyed the Addams Family production – to the sports days on the sky pitch I've even joined some evening strength and conditioning classes in the school gym These exceptional facilities serve as the foundation for our focus on community, collaboration, and wellbeing
Our staff embody excellence in education Their knowledge, kindness, and passion shine through in every interaction, ensuring our students receive an outstanding education Their swift adaptation to new leadership, coupled with their unwavering support and guidance, has been greatly appreciated
Parent engagement has been particularly heartening The strong turnout at special events throughout the term demonstrates the vibrant sense of community and belonging that defines our school Building authentic connections between home and school remains a priority, and I look forward to further strengthening these vital partnerships
Above all, our students stand out as the true highlight of my role Their unrivalled energy, enthusiasm, and unique perspectives
BY LAURA TYSON
Kellett class assemblies are a rite of passage and, alongside GOW and the Y6 Beijing trip, are most frequently cited by Old Kellettonians’ as their most treasured school memories
It is here, amongst the Broadway-worthy backdrops and choregraphed songs that the seeds of Kellett Expressive Arts are sown.
For many, taking to the stage aged four for the adorable Christmas Assembly is the beginning of a journey to securing confidence for life You’d be hard pushed, deliberately so, to find any student at Kellett that has not performed on one of the school’s many stages during their educational journey
At Kellett confidence of expression, be it on stage, in an ensemble or a debating chamber, is the foundation on which confidence for life is born It is for this reason that Expressive Arts is so treasured at Kellett.
During her recent residency, Choral Director & Composer Lin Marsh lamented the decline in singing, and Expressive Arts more broadly, at educational institutions in the UK, ‘Some things in Schools that went by the wayside in COVID have not come back, and singing is one of them ’ In contrast Kellett has bolstered Expressive Arts in recent years with the appointment of Will Payne as Director to oversee its development across all three schools.
----
‘My philosophy is to create a program that's as inclusive as possible...We want to light a spark in as many students as possible.
- Will Payne
Will’s upbringing gives many clues to the approach he takes to his role The son of a self-taught jazz pianist, Will became a cathedral chorister in Salisbury at the age of seven, meaning a rigorous rehearsal schedule with performances throughout weekends and holidays ‘It was tough and intensive ’ he recalls ‘We would get up at 5 30, practice instruments for an hour, grab breakfast and head to the cathedral for rehearsals, then have a full day of school, followed by more rehearsals and Evensong.’
By the time Will was thirteen he had sung at Versailles, the Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall and had grade eight distinction in oboe and piano. On a music scholarship, he attended King's College Taunton where he ticked all the music boxes, performing at every school event, but uninspired, he threw himself into sports, playing rugby for the South West of England at one point Fortunately, he re-found his musical spark at Nottingham University whilst being taught jazz piano by Darius Brubeck (son of jazz legend Dave Brubeck)
Payne as a young chorister
After an exclusive and intensive musical start to life, Will’s approach to Expressive Arts is centred around inclusivity ‘My philosophy is to create a program that's as inclusive as possible, that’s it We want to light a spark in as many students as possible. Sometimes you see a moment where it just gets them, and then that's a lifelong passion and source of joy ’
Will’s mantra is ‘What do we have for that person?’ Whilst he is confident that there is an access point for most students to Expressive Arts beyond the classroom, through ECAs, clubs and performance opportunities, he continually strives to find new avenues of inspiration.
No doubt informed by the reignition of his musical spark at university, Will is eager to expose students to as many inspiring creatives as possible He’s strengthened the music teams in all three schools, who combined with the School’s 17 peri music teachers, have an incredible repertoire of talent
Senior music is comprised of Will, a woodwind and choral specialist, Deborah Jones, an expert in woodwind and strings, musical theatre and choral specialist Suzanne Cook-Dixon and Arizton Pamplona (TA) a guitar and bass session musician. In KLB Prep James Thorpe, Head of Music a woodwind and choral specialist, is supported by Simon Nixon, a brass and jazz expert
and Edwin Gouw (TA) a cellist and luthier Meanwhile at PFL Head of Music Euan Kilpatrick’s skills are in choral and woodwind, complemented by Gina Lee a choral and keyboard specialist and Clive Li (TA) a brass musician
To light the spark in each child, Will is constantly seeking to expose students to different perspectives and disciplines Thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Parents Committee and generosity of the Kellett community, the much-loved Spring Fair generates funds for K2 enabling the school to host residencies Most recently Lin Marsh held workshops on choral skills focused on expressive singing Next up will be a residency specialising in choral and opera by eminent conductor Dominic Ellis-Peckham, currently with the London Chamber Choir
And of course, peers also light sparks The recently formed vocal
troupe, Voice Elite, made up of talented singers from Senior is inspiring a new generation of students to have the confidence to sing live
‘If you have a student who wants to go to the Royal Academy of Music, we need to be able to take them there They will be Grade A musicians, but they may not have the experience in jazz, modern music, composition, so we're trying to push them in different directions to make them as musically complete as possible ’
The Young Musician Programme (YMP) was established to do just this, stretching the most talented musicians Students in the programme attend workshops deliberately chosen to take them out of their comfort zone Lin Marsh recently had them making soundscapes with a music stand to help with composition, quite a departure for an accomplished violinist taught in a highly structured way from an early age
“I believe if you build an inspiring space, students will come and create something within that space ’ Overcoming the limitations of space in Hong Kong has been no obstacle to Will’s ambitions around inclusivity. For students who don’t want to be part of a formal concert, informal performance spaces are being introduced, such as a piano in the Senior Atrium and a busking stand, whilst House Music and Drama, and the new Expressive Arts Wider Learning Day involve all Senior students.
During Covid, stuck at home, Will began recording music,
composing around 85 pieces over a two-year period, some of which were used in short films. Inspired to bring this discipline to students, and his belief that ‘if you build it, they will come and hopefully someone will get the bug’, he developed plans for a recording studio at KLB Installed in the recently refurbished Media Suite, the professional recording studio has comprehensive audio tools as well as orchestral sound libraries for composition
With student participation numbers in Peri lessons and ECAs on the up, Expressive Arts at Kellett is bucking the global trend and ensuring performance and creative arts are as strong as ever as the School enters its second half century
since 2022, student participation of expressive arts have gone up
Peri Music Lessons - up 64%
Expressive Arts ECAs - up 27%
Drama has always been strong at Kellett, but music production is enjoying a resurgence, evidenced by the recent fabulous production of Addams Family and the creation of a Musical Theatre Academy ECA. Spearheaded by Head of Drama, Christian Bullen (in conjunction with music), the ECA is introducing growing numbers to musical theatre, from performers to essential roles behind the scenes Christian, a well-respected director and choreographer in his own right (most recently Café I Do - The Leslie Cheung Musical at West Kowloon), is driven by three ambitions Firstly, to use drama and LAMDA (public speaking), to nurture lifelong soft skills such as communication, teamwork and critical thinking in all students Secondly to provide expert training in performing arts through the curriculum and beyond And thirdly, to inspire a love and appreciation of the arts
Supporting Christian in the team are drama teachers Bradley Tuff and Kendra Cui, and Terence Makapan, a published playwright, who leads LAMDA
Whilst studying for his Drama degree in Cardiff, Christian founded an award-winning performing arts academy for children, now one of Wales’ leading performance centres. Bringing that enthusiasm for nurturing young talent to his teaching, Christian will this year introduce the Young Actors Company ECA, where students will explore acting techniques and styles Having completed his Masters in Shanghai Theatre Academy (Christan speaks fluent Mandarin and choreographed part of the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony) and built a global network of theatre creators, he’s eager to expand the exposure of students to audiences further afield.

Hear from Senior Students Alan & Vanessa as they share their love for music to a younger generation.
I have been active in Outreach for the past two years, and suffice to say, it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I teach children guitar, bass, and drums every Saturday morning. My usual experience consists of drafting lesson plans and looking for materials the day before, and then teaching all of this in relatively small classes of one to two students at a time. I have had some incredibly talented and interesting students who have been a pleasure to teach, and I greatly relish in helping children discover a new hobby or passion. A lot of these kids have music tastes that I’m quite familiar with, and it’s always exciting finding out what they want to learn. Expressive Arts, and music in particular, is incredibly important to me personally, as it’s an integral part of my personhood and is reflected in almost every aspect of my life Music helps me make sense, or at least come to terms with absurdity, and I want to open up this avenue for children and adolescents as a way to process feelings and emotions Music’s been a constant grounding wire in the everchanging waltz of growing up, and I hope my service will help these children to find the comfort and euphoria that I gain through it
Alan (Year 11)
“Music helps me make sense, or at least come to terms, with absurdity, and I want to open up this avenue for children and adolescents as a way to process their feelings and emotions.”
I am a piano teacher at the Outreach, and teach small groups and individual classes for about 30 minutes at a time As soon as the opportunity first appeared to volunteer for Outreach in April, I immediately joined, knowing that I would be helping to foster a love for music in a wider community and grant eager children the opportunity they deserve to explore a new passion and I’m thankful I did
It always brings me joy seeing the beaming faces of the students when they walk into the room, excited to begin the lesson, to talk to me about their day, or to show me what they practiced over the week What really surprised me about the experience though, is how strong of a bond the students and I have built with each other over the months, and it always puts a smile on my face when – as soon as we see each other they run over or jump up and down excitedly, and pull me into a big group hug
"As soon as the opportunity first appeared to volunteer I immediately joined, knowing that I would be helping to foster a love for music in a wider community.”
Although, as we teachers are older students ourselves, it can sometimes be difficult to know how to control larger groups, especially when things get out of hand and chaotic Despite this, I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned from this experience, and I hope that over time, as I develop stronger connections with the children, they continue to leave their lessons cheerful and with a growing appreciation for music

With Dynamic Learning Environments as one of the main strategic priorities of Kellett Vision: 2035, outdoor learning will be a key component for the future of the Kellett Curriculum Paul Tough explains why we must further enhance this part of the current curriculum and how we will move forward
With the quickening pace of climate change and pressures of urban life, outdoor education is emerging as a vital component of the Kellett curriculum With its multifaceted benefits, this area of the school’s provision will become an ever-increasing priority as we implement our new Strategic Vision in the coming years
Outdoor education is a cornerstone of a well-rounded education, enhancing social skills, building resilience, fostering environmental awareness, understanding climate science, improving academic performance, supporting mental well-being, and preparing students for global citizenship
By prioritising a curriculum that utilises the beauty of Hong Kong's natural environment as a setting and tool for teaching, Kellett is committed to preparing students to thrive academically and personally, while becoming responsible stewards of the planet
Reception (KLB) Aberdeen Country Park
As a school that seeks to instill a love of learning, dynamic learning settings have long been woven into the curriculum. Parent-supported day trips beyond the school gates are a cherished feature of our Prep curriculum, whilst field trips to the wetlands and coasts of Hong Kong are highlights for Senior students studying biology and geography.
We know that moving outdoors provides dynamic interactive learning Beyond that it encourages broader developmentphysical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth, not forgetting critical thinking skills as students make connections between their studies and the world around them We want to make better use of Hong Kong’s rich natural landscapes to enhance the learning experiences of our students.
Opportunities for children to learn in nature, get their hands dirty, and escape the bustling urban environments of Hong Kong are essential for student wellbeing and personal growth Kellett will take better advantage of the city's proximity to natural environments, seeking opportunities for students to develop a sense of adventure and exploration, exploring the many parks, coastlines, and hiking trails around us Students will learn to recognise the beauty of our Hong Kong’s rural spaces, appreciate the personal and collective benefits of reconnecting with nature, and therefore the importance of preserving these natural spaces
Fostering a connection to nature is more critical than ever, for our students and our planet. There is a pressing need for a tailored approach to sustainability education For us, the beauty of the natural environment in Hong Kong serves as the ideal canvas for teaching environmental issues Through the exploration of our local ecosystems students will gain insights into biodiversity, sustainability, and the impact of human activity on the planet, fostering a sense of stewardship and inspiring advocacy for sustainability
We will prioritise the creation of a bespoke sustainability curriculum across all age groups, intrinsically linked to outdoor spaces and rural areas of Hong Kong Building on the success of our Oceanography course for Y10-11, this curriculum will offer students project-based learning combined with hands-on experiences, allowing them to engage directly with local ecosystems and understand the complexities of sustainability in a real-world context By integrating outdoor learning with sustainability education, students learn that they are part of a worldwide ecosystem, fostering a sense of belonging and empathy for others This provides impetus to better understand the impact of their actions and importantly, how they can contribute to positive change as informed, responsible future leaders
By integrating outdoor learning with sustainability education, students learn that they are part of a worldwide ecosystem, fostering a sense of belonging and empathy for others.
(KLB) Aberdeen Country Park
We aspire to be at the forefront of outdoor and sustainability education, promoting best practices in environmental education through strategic partnerships and participation in international sustainability initiatives By sharing our successes and challenges, we hope to inspire other institutions, amplifying our impact and contributing positively to the global conversation on sustainability.
Every Kellett student should have opportunities to be educated outdoors If you have connections with organisations that might help us achieve this and ideas to match our ambitions then please get in touch with me (principalsec@kellettschool com)
Claire O’Neill - Parents’ Committee Lead
It’s been a busy term at Kellett across all campuses for the Parents’ Committee as well as for the students. Our volunteers have assisted with Teachers’ Appreciation Day and the Senior Chess Championship, Diwali and Cultural Diversity Day celebrations, baked for and served at Sports Day Bake Sales (in spite of the Typhoons) and Carols by Candlelight and taught us how to make Christmas Wreaths We thank them all profusely
In Senior School, inspired by the Queen’s Gambit, our own innovative event encouraged our female chess players to compete against their male counterparts whilst availing of the mentorship and guidance of the International Chess Master, Melissa Catrillon Lopez All participants gained valuable insights from this enriching experience We hope it inspires more female and male chess players from our Kellett Community
Across all campuses we hosted Native Literacy Taster Sessions, introducing new languages in a fun and engaging manner for our older prep students, while encouraging our senior students to improve their listening and speaking skills in Mandarin, French and Spanish
Ultimately, it’s not just the students who benefit from the Parents’ Committee events Our Quiz and Curry Evening was, for the first time, attended by parents from all campuses It was a fun and engaging evening, strengthening the community of our families

This year, I started attending a few new ECAs: Debate and Model UN I’ve always had an interest in these activities, and with a little bit of encouragement and advice from Mr Stacey, I decided to try something new! Additionally, a few of my friends and I started Mission787, a charity seeking to raise funds and awareness for women ’ s wellness These experiences provided me with new opportunities and a chance to explore different topics!
UK!
While I did do Uni visits in the UK last year, I had a better idea of what I was looking for this year - I even got to sit in on some lectures! You can’t really get a feel for a school without being there in person These visits helped me figure out what I’m looking for in a school environment, from location (city vs rural) to campus sizes I struck up some conversations with students on campus, who were super keen to chat about their experience at their school

Annabel Preston (OK 2004-11) explains how winning a Kellett photography competition in Year 5 inspired her to follow her passions.
We last caught up with Annabel in 2019 when she was enjoying a gap year in Hong Kong. Since then, she’s completed an MA in Art History at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and returned home to continue visually documenting our ever-changing city alongside a career in arts and culture
Born in Hong Kong, Annabel spent her primary school years at Kellett before heading off to boarding school in her native Australia in 2011 She credits the great teachers and small class sizes at Pokfulam with developing her confidence to take on any challenge and strive to be her best “The teachers paid attention to every student, getting to know their strengths and weaknesses and encouraging us to have a go at everything,” she says “There was also a huge variety of ECAs, so you could try out lots of different things. Teachers were very inclusive, finding a place for everyone who wanted to be involved, which gave every child the opportunity to find their own potential.”
Annabel fondly remembers being in several musicals including Seussical, based on the stories of Dr Seuss, and Cinderella, but she found her true passion when she entered a school photography competition at the age of ten "Looking back, I had a strong awareness of my visual sense I loved taking photos, so my Mum suggested that I enter I went out with her tiny, old Canon SureShot: smoke used to come out the top of it when it flashed, I don't think it lasted much longer! Then, through the process of observing my surroundings, choosing what to photograph and selecting what to share, it all kind of just clicked for me, ” she says When she ended up winning first place and seeing her work displayed around the school, she realised it was something she was good at and wanted to pursue further. “I got my first camera when I was 12, which was very special, allowing me to experiment more with the medium Since then, photography has changed so much,” she reminisces “Even compared to just ten years ago, photography is something that's very, very different,” she says, “with the advent of the metaverse, it’s so accessible now, things just circulate so quickly, and there’s this huge oversaturation of images I didn't get an iPhone until I was 18, but the immediacy of smartphone documentation "added another lens' to my photography practice It is a fascinating time to be in the industry I am in "
The work of the Chinese photographer, Fan Ho (1931-2016), was a source of inspiration for Annabel, growing up fascinated by the rich visual environment of Hong Kong “He took these incredibly atmospheric black and white photos documenting the streets of Hong Kong and I think it made me very aware of trying to capture these transient aspects of the city as moments in time ”
Annabel shares that she feels very much a Hong Konger at heart, but that her idea of her own cultural identity has transformed over the years “My understanding of my Hong Kong culture has developed since I was a child At Kellett, I was surrounded by a lot of people who were like me, and it offered a strong sense of community for myself and my family But since coming back a few years ago, it feels like a bit more of a complex identity, and I’ve found this interesting to navigate ” She feels fortunate that her art history degree allowed her to return to the city she loves, interning for a year with the curatorial team at M+ before becoming an educator for the museum, conducting private tours of exhibitions including Shanshui: Echoes and Signals, which she worked on through 2023 “It’s a very interdisciplinary show, looking at how contemporary artists are translating the traditional painting genre of 'shanshui' (literally 'mountain and water') into something new, and how we experience landscapes around us from the natural to the digital The curatorial team was very small, so I worked closely with some really amazing mentors and got involved in all aspects of the project ”
In November, Annabel took up the position of assistant editor at the periodical ArtAsiaPacific, focusing on the arts and culture of the Asia Pacific region. “I really couldn’t have found a more perfect role,” she says, “I’ve known since very young that I wanted to work with words as well as photographs in some capacity ”
Having spent the past year getting her freelance photography business up and running - a highlight of which was photographing the inaugural Asian Avant Garde Film Festival at M+ - she was ready to commit to something more permanent and is thrilled to be able to combine both of her passions “I loved my art history course at St Andrews and I really feel my attitude towards art and culture evolved throughout my studies I learned how much the subject encompasses, including the psychological, philosophical and the political - there is so much to learn from the visual world and images that have existed for thousands of years It tells us so much about a specific time and place and the way an artist lived as well ” Although her parents were very supportive, she does remember being exposed to ideas that treat arts and culture as an inferior career pathway She rejoices in her observation that culture seems to be having a new kind of revival as more people realise the importance of storytelling, both written and visual, to learn about our world
So what’s next for Annabel? “I’m really happy just doing what I’m doing for now But perhaps a photobook,” she muses “While print culture is quite fragile here, I do think there’s an appetite for that irreplaceable feeling of looking through a book.” Although she still enjoys photographing our everchanging streets, she tries not to limit her work to one style or genre, finding fascination with exploring different textures and working with light and contrast “I also still love taking photos in film,” she says, “carefully framing each photo and taking the time to develop something that looks very unique is special for me ” In fact, if she has any advice for current Kellett students, it’s just that– “Experience different things and take the time to find out what you love, and then spend time doing it!”
