Guiding Statements

Following extended engagement with members of the School Management Committee and Board of Governors, Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong released a series of translations for key phrases held within their Guiding Statements this week.

‘Our Motto, Mission and Values unite the schools of Shrewsbury International Asia (SIA) and secure our connection to Shrewsbury School in the United Kingdom. As can be seen within the content of the documents held within our Policy Compendium and through the presentation of our Strategic Plan, they steer every conversation and shape every decision. It is critical that they are both accessible and widely understood.’ Ben Keeling, Shrewsbury Principal

With material now in the hands of Student Council members, the launch of a bespoke set of more accessible interpretations is also now on the horizon.

‘Shrewsbury students are encouraged to take responsibility and drive change as members of the wider school community. Student Council members are an exceptionally determined group, keen to support the wider aspirations of their school.’ Lousie Corbett, Student Council Coordinator
