Ms Alia Eyres - ESF Bradbury School and South Island School Graduate

[Sponsored article] Getting to send all seven children of the Marwah family was a huge relief for the parents, who were given the unenviable task of providing and organising uniforms, lunches, daily drop-offs and pickups and transportation for after-school activities as well as dealing with unscheduled events.


Ms Cathy Lee - ESF South Island School Graduate

[Sponsored article] Cathy Lee is immensely grateful for her time at South Island School (SIS) and for everything she was able to learn. The great learning environment not only helped her fulfil her potential, but also taught her respect, organisation and self-discipline.


Ms Christine Loh - ESF Island School Graduate

[Sponsored article] Christine Loh was among the early batch of students attending Island School, which opened in 1967.


Dr Alan Sihoe - ESF King George V School Graduate

[Sponsored article] Dr. Alan Sihoe has truly made his mark in this world. As Clinical Associate Professor in Thoracic Surgery at the University of Hong Kong, he regularly performs life and death operations on those with serious lung ailments using the most advanced techniques.


Mr Geoffrey Cheah - ESF Kennedy School and West Island School Graduate

[Sponsored article] Being a student and an outstanding athlete requires extreme dedication and a strong work ethic. These qualities are abundant in Geoffrey Cheah, who initially started swimming at a young age to fight his asthma.


Ms Marin Minamiya - ESF South Island School Graduate

[Sponsored article] In April 2017, Marin Minamiya achieved what most people could never even dream of. The 20 year old became the 52nd person in the world and the youngest to ever climb the seven highest summits for each continent, and reach both the North Pole and the South Pole, completing the Explorer’s Grand Slam.


Mr Jamie Bilbow - ESF Sha Tin Junior School and Sha Tin College Graduate

[Sponsored article] Life often works in mysterious ways. Jamie Bilbow was born and raised in Hong Kong, but didn’t learn any Chinese for the first 18 years of his life. Little did he know that he would go on to earn a BA in Chinese Studies at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies), University of London.


The English Schools Foundation (ESF) is the largest provider of English-medium international education in Hong Kong.
