What We Do

The PFO offers support to those new to the HKIS community in many ways throughout the year to ease the transition to a new school, and in some cases, Hong Kong. Take a look at the opportunities available to our new families and as always, feel free to reach out with any questions at any time.

New Parent Breakfast/Luncheon

At the start of each term the PFO hosts a breakfast or lunch to provide new parents with an introduction to the tools, resources, school groups, and organizations available at HKIS. It is also another great opportunity to meet other new and established HKIS parents. This year we are hosting our fall event, New Parent Connect, online. 

Back to School Nights

Held at the start of the school year, this event is an opportunity for parents to learn more about their child's classroom program/curriculum, schedule and routines, teacher, and to meet other parents in their child's class. The PFO provides the food for this event.

Walkabouts

The PFO organizes a series of Walkabouts each year. Whether you are new to Hong Kong and in need of a bit of help getting familiar with the city or have been here a while and want to get out of your comfort zone, this could be for you! Groups will be small and focused on visiting certain areas, buildings and shops.

The PFO hosts major events during the year where the HKIS community comes together to celebrate! For more information about our events, please visit www.hkispfo.com for details.

Pumpkin Festival

October brings the first big event and fundraiser of the year as the HKIS Middle School campus is transformed into a Halloween Wonderland. This is one of our most popular events of the year complete with games and prizes for the kids, student-led entertainment, a fangtastic book sale, a delicious bake sale, a one of a kind shopping Boo-tique, a fall market, student charity expo, and plenty of food and refreshments provided by our many sponsors. This truly is fun for the entire family. Click here for past event highlights. 

World's Fair

Taking place in April, the World's Fair is a spectacular event for the whole family. Hosted at the High School campus, there are many activities, games, food booths hosted by HKIS families (always a favorite!), a vast shopping village from merchants all over Hong Kong, student-led entertainment - and so much more! This event not only fosters community bonding but it is also a major fundraising event. Click here for past event highlights

Assemblies

A fabulous show of Chinese culture and celebration welcoming in the new lunar year! Students enjoy entertaining performances including fancy costumes, Kung-Fu, a lucky lion dance, and more.

CNY Logo Design Competition

Each year the PFO hosts a design competition for the HKIS Chinese New Year logo. The winning designs will be used in the commemorative Chinese New Year (CNY) memorabilia. These items will be available for sale to the HKIS community. This competition is open to all HKIS Middle and High School students.

CNY Commemorative Apparel

The winning CNY logo will be featured on clothing items including uniforms approved for LP/UP and MS use and t-shirts and track jackets in all sizes that are fun for everyone, including our younger students, HS students, and adults (parents, alumni, teachers, faculty and friends of HKIS). These items are only available for sale once per year and for a limited time so look out for the details on the divisional newsletters!

Held annually at Lower and Upper Primary Schools, local bookshops, such as Bookazine and Swindon Books, will have an array of popular fiction and non-fiction titles to choose from. This is a terrific opportunity to shop for books with your children and select books that they will enjoy reading.
