"Noodles" the Golden Jubilee Tapestry
Artists-in-Residence (2025) Becky & Lucy Gilmore of Make & Do, and the Kellett Community
A tapestry commissioned to celebrate Kellett's 50th Anniversary, that weaves together the narratives of both Kellett and Hong Kong. Supercharged with funding by K2, the tapestry is made up of over 100 different Hong Kong themed motifs across four categories: flora & fauna, transport, the Chinese zodiac, and food. This tapestry is a reminder of Kellett's commitment to our home city.
Students submitted designs for motifs, and students from Year 3 upwards, along with members of our community, used embroidery to bring the images to life. Our youngest students focused on weaving wool and recycled school uniform to create the trim.
Explore each section in more detail and see which students had a hand in designing and embroidering each element.

Ding-Ding!
The Kellett Tram was unveiled in March of 2026 just ahead of our big community celebration event.
Wrapped with all 100+ motifs from the 50th Anniversary Tapestry, the Kellett Tram is a reflection of how our School's story is weaved into the fabric of Hong Kong.
Running throughout the month of March and April, the Kellett Tram was a vibrant and exciting way for all to celebrate this incredible milestone. Kellett students, families, staff and alumni took pride in searching and seeing this community project roll down the streets on Hong Kong Island.
