The Elliott Lecture
Kellett aims for each of its students to develop a lifelong love of learning. Celebrating half a century of fostering that love, the School was thrilled to host our fourth Elliott Lecture featuring journalist, explorer, and award-winning documentary filmmaker Craig Leeson and a special film screening of his latest film, The Last Glaciers: Journey to the Extreme. Students were captivated by the documentary and brimming with questions for Craig afterwards. Fortunately, with generous funds from K2, Craig stayed around the following day to speak with students, and was keynote at a student-led sustainability conference.
Since our first Green Audit in 2019, we have introduced recycling, solar panels on our rooftops, a Sustainability Policy, carbon offset of travel, reuse and recycling of pre-loved uniform, and a significant reduction in single-use plastic in our dining hall. The school has also made it a priority to integrate environmental education into our curriculum.
Kellett School continues to make significant strides in sustainability, driven by the passion and leadership of our students. Our Green Dragons, a dedicated team of young environmental ambassadors, have spearheaded additional initiatives across all sections of the school. Their work has focused on key areas including food sustainability, fast fashion, energy efficiency, and the protection of oceans and coastal environments.
These student-led efforts closely align with the impactful work of the Senior School Eco Committee, whose commitment to environmental stewardship earned Kellett the prestigious Green Flag Award in 2025. Accredited by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), this achievement marked Kellett as the first school in Hong Kong to receive this internationally recognised honour.
We are fortunate to have students and staff who are passionate about this cause. We have student leadership roles for Sustainability in both Prep and Senior and our aim goes beyond reducing our own impact on the environment, we hope to become a beacon school for sustainability, inspiring others to follow.
We are proud to be a Founding Member of The Alliance for Sustainable Schools.
