editor’s Letter
who’s in charge?
After six months of school closures, there will be yelps of joy and sighs of relief as the new school year kicks off on August 17. This issue covers everything you need to know for a smooth transition, from getting to grips with Hong Kong’s international education system (page 10) to this year’s best after school activities (page 28). We head to the highly regarded Malvern College in Tai Po for this month’s cover. Since arriving in Hong Kong in 2018, this leading British coeducational school has impressed parents and students alike with an individualistic, creative approach to achieving academic excellence (page 16). And with borders remaining closed for now, make the most of Hong Kong’s beautiful summer days with a waterfront stroll at Three Fathoms Cove in Sai Kung Country Park (page 32). Bring on the new school year (although my little one, at 12 weeks old, is a bit too young to appreciate this momentous occasion).
