An amazing speaker can be life-changing, inspiring an audience of young people to do great things. Kellett School’s curriculum enhancement fund K² (K Squared) supercharges the education and learning experiences of our students beyond the limits of the School’s operational budgets.
Kellett staff with great ideas on how to boost the students’ education can access the fund by submitting bids which are assessed by Heads of School and representatives of the Foundation Board.
We very much hope you will support K² to help us go beyond and give Kellett students a truly exceptional school experience.

Hear from our students, and art teachers Magi Chen and Claire Lau as they share what makes this opportunity so special and how you can help make it happen.
Thanks to the herculean efforts of our Parents Committee, an army of volunteers and the generosity of our community, the Kellett Spring Fair, held in March 2024, raised HK$805k for K², to supercharge our student’s learning. Wonderfully, this means we can go ahead with three exciting projects; a musician-in-residence, an artist-in-residence and a vegetable patch on the SkyPitch. Thank you for making these possible!
K² and the Kellett Science Department present an evening with award winning wildlife photographer Doug Allan. In this exciting talk, Doug Allan talks about marine biology, diving and filming some of the world’s most charismatic animals, and how climate change is affecting the planet. With over 40 years' first-hand experience of the Poles, he has witnessed first-hand the effects of the changing sea ice on the populations of animals north and south. Learn more here.
Kellett School has been incredibly fortunate to have not one but two artists-in-residence Eleanor McColl & Elena Klimova in 2022-23, as we seek to refresh the artwork around our campus’, particularly in Kowloon Bay in the run up to the building’s 10th anniversary. Find out more on Eleanor & Elena
Thanks to parental donations to curriculum enhancement fund K² our students have witnessed both artists at work on campus, participated in workshops and contributed to exciting large scale art installations.
The artworks are placed at the entrance to Prep and Senior and in the British Room!
We were fortunate to receive a K² donation earmarked for wellbeing initiatives in each school. PFL requested to use their funds to create a rooftop allotment. Planters have been installed and it is hoped that in time produce can be sold to staff and parents. There is also a hydroponic tower which is linked to Year 5 Science lessons in their 'Feed Me Now' topic. The garden is being maintained by the parent volunteers with help from the school gardening team.
A new coral system in the Senior School continues to mature, with the biodiversity developing and new microscopic organisms establishing themselves. The first corals, fish and invertebrates have been added to the tank, adding to six existing species of coral, three species of fish, and a number of snails, crabs and shrimp. Via an ECA students are focussing on honing their husbandry (water chemistry and tank maintenance) to ensure ideal conditions for the addition of more challenging corals.
KLB Prep Reception Play Area
The new indoor garden area in Kellett school Kowloon Bay Prep is in place and proving enormously popular with the Reception children and creating a lively atmosphere in the Atrium.
