Kellett School awarded Eco-Schools Green Flag

Kellett School awarded Eco-Schools Green Flag, first in Hong Kong

Kellett School is proud to announce it has been awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), the first school in Hong Kong to obtain this status.

As the School approaches its 50^th Anniversary, Kellett has made environmental stewardship a cornerstone of its Kellett Vision 2035 ten-year strategic vision, signalling commitment to building a sustainable future for all.

The accreditation comes after a three-year implementation of the Eco-School programme and a rigorous assessment by the FEE, and acknowledges the work of Senior students, the implementation of environmental education into the curriculum, and the many initiatives taken to address the School’s carbon footprint. 

“The Green Flag award reflects the collective effort of our entire school – students, staff and families. We are especially proud of our Senior School Eco Committee who have shown that young people can truly lead the way in building a more sustainable future and have inspired our whole school community to follow,” remarked Whole School Sustainability Lead Brian Kerr.

“It’s amazing to finally see the culmination of three years of work. Behind this award are tireless meetings and deadlines, the hard work and dedication of students and the colossal efforts of Mr. Kerr. The committee is so proud of the work we have done,” reflected Head Prefect for Sustainability Lorelei Goach (Year 13).

Since early 2022, students have worked alongside their peers and staff to carry out a seven-step action plan, from environmental impact audits and implementing new initiatives, to raise awareness and address the environmental footprint of the School. The award will be reassessed annually by the FEE.

Kellett will host our second Student Led Environmental Conference in February 2026, bringing together like-minded students from around Hong Kong for networking and partnership in a quest to build a more sustainable society.
