​​​​​​​Greetings from the KGV School Admissions Office.

If you are withdrawing your child at the end of this academic year, please submit the Student Withdrawal Form via the ESF App on or before 30 April.  Otherwise, we will assume that your child is returning after summer and parents are liable to the tuition fees for September even if the student does not return to school.

If a student leaves part way through the school year, attendance on any day in a particular month renders school fees payable for the entire month.

Please note that Years 11, 12 and 13 students, who may not attend normal classes during April, May and June, are still required to pay the full annual fee.  The last day of attendance is deemed to be the last day of academic year (26 June 2026).

The withdrawal form is not applicable to Year 13 students who will be graduating from KGV School this academic year.

Please contact us at admissions@kgv.edu.hk if you have any questions regarding the withdrawal procedure.

Dear KGV Families,

Due to field resurfacing and adjacent drainage work between 28th March and 17th May, there will be a temporary traffic arrangement on Sheung Kin Street. During this period, the left lane leading towards the school gate will be closed.

If you drive your child to school to school, please avoid prolonged parking and U-turns on Sheung Kin Street during morning drop-off hours. Vehicles should exit from the back gate onto Sheung Shing Street after the drop off.

In the afternoon, the bus lineup formation may need to be adjusted. We will coordinate with the bus companies in advance to ensure a smooth transition. If your child takes a school bus, it will be helpful to discuss potential changes with them and encourage them to reach out to school staff or the school office if they need assistance. Also, during the above-mentioned period, we recommend allowing extra time for travel.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we are collaborating closely with the contractor, the Traffic Department, and the Police to minimise disruption.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Mark Poulsum

The Emergency Responder ECA offers students the opportunity to gain internationally accredited qualifications for CPR/First Aid, offering an approachable, methodical, and fun way for students to learn essential life-saving skills, as well as drilling them in a number of rescue scenarios they may face in real life so that they can be better prepared! 

Students will earn a 2-year certification in CPR, First Aid, and AED use for emergencies involving Adult, Child, and Infant patients. This qualification is recognised in over 175 countries and can be used towards university or job applications, as well as programs such as CAS and AYP.

There are 21 spots for this class, and the class will only run with a minimum of 4 sign-ups.

Dear KGV,

What is the most memorable flower species you’ve seen on our school campus? Was it a flash of red, a soft purple, or a burst of white?

We are building a multidisciplinary team to document and celebrate the living vitality of our local ecosystem as part of a new ESG Initiative. By volunteering, you are directly contributing to Environmental stewardship, Social awareness, and the Governance of our campus—values that revolve around a sustainable tomorrow.

We are calling for:

Photographers & videographers: capturing plant species with a keen eye for detail.

Visual artists: sketching, digital illustration, or diagramming the anatomy of plants.

Writers: crafting documentaries and infographics, transforming raw data into immersive narratives of our local flora.

Field researchers & data curators: organising the ecological data points and statistics of our campus.

Media Designers: building the digital home for our findings.

Whether your heart lies in environmental sciences, your strength in media production, or you simply wish to be part of the documentary process, we welcome your unique perspective and creative energy. 

Please fill in this google form by April 13, 2026: https://forms.gle/pR8FgHSUXgYX9eV37

ROAR Sessions for Years 7 to 9 - Wednesday April 15th at lunchtime in the GLT.

Hey everybody! 

We are Shivansh and Yerin, the current Heads of Student Council, and we are more than excited to announce the second ever edition of the KGV ROAR Sessions happening on Wednesday April 15th at 1:30 in the GLT.  We have had the great privilege to carry on this initiative from the incredible previous Heads of Student Council, Riya and Kashish, who had hosted the first edition in September 2025. 

If you have any constructive feedback or issues you’ve experienced, no matter how small or big, please join us for this session as any feedback is extremely valuable to improving our school. With the feedback we receive from the respectful and constructive discussions you all will hopefully lead, we want to identify recurring areas for improvement and bring meaningful change to our school through purposeful actions. Furthermore, plenty of snacks will also be provided and you are more than welcome to bring your lunch.

Mr Carrell, Mr Glover and Mr McAlpine will also be present at this session to answer any questions regarding our switch away from Lionel and towards Toddle.

The session for this term will be focusing on Years 7 to 9 and next term we will hopefully be looking for feedback from Years 10 to 12. 

We hope you all have an excellent break and we can’t wait to see you all at this session!

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email either myself, (at naiks2@kgv.hk) or Yerin (at kangy5@kgv.hk)
