About the Report

This is The Harbour School’s first sustainability report and is created with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards covering the academic year 2022 to 2023. This report aims to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs by becoming a resource that other schools can refer to and then to create their own sustainability programs that fit their own context.

Our material topics in this report are in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are calls to action that must be implemented by all UN member countries, serve as its cornerstone. We believe that schools play a significant role in advancing these SDGs through the curriculum as well as by making sure that our operations are as environmentally, socially, and economically responsible as possible. By doing this, we demonstrate to the community the importance of incorporating the SDGs into institutional practices. The entire school community, the proverbial “village,” participated in the process of identifying, validating, and reviewing the sustainability topics that we all agree are important to the school’s operations and our commitment to unlocking the best in every student, encouraging students to find and develop their areas of strength. The key areas identified are:

Experiential Education, Environmental Efforts, Social Initiatives, Diversity and Inclusion, and Our Sustainable Future.

We began our journey toward sustainability very recently, and there is still much to be done. By disclosing our environmental and social activities, we gain a more comprehensive understanding of how seemingly small activities, when done together and done consistently, have the potential to scale up and inspire the larger community. THS is already a leader in futureoriented education and this report aims to demonstrate to other academic institutions that adopting a community service and sustainability development education is workable and in fact must start early and be applied progressively in all academic stages (grade school to university).

Message from the Head of School

The Harbour School has always valued experiential education, and whenever possible endorses authentic (real) experiences. If one is going to support authentic experiences, then it makes sense in today’s world to create experiences that have a real impact on today’s challenges. That is why our High School students designed, funded and had built a school in a children’s hospital in Kenya, then started a functioning Fair Trade coffee company in collaboration with farmers from Peru. It’s why our Middle School students built a prosthetic leg for a three-legged dog and our primary students created a plastic sensor for ocean water and presented impassioned speeches about global issues, each with an action toward addressing the identified problem. But despite many good works and altruistic activities, what was lacking was an overall

“We believe that Education is one of the most important factors in fighting climate change and addressing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals”

pedagogical purpose and organizing theme.

The Harbour School Dr. Jadis Blurton - Head of School

Our award-winning Social Impact and Sustainability Program

(SISP) used the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as an organizing base and connected the students across all grade levels with a powerful network of allied organizations both locally and globally. We believe that Education is one of the most important factors in fighting climate change and addressing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. It is important for students to understand the problems we face globally, but also to know that there are many people and organizations dedicated to helping solve them and many tools being developed for them to use or improve upon. The young people in schools today are those who will inherit and care for the world tomorrow.

Message from the SISP Director

How do we foster our students’ sense of altruism, and care for the wider community, for our planet? Community service programs in Hong Kong are typically exclusive activities seemingly reserved for a select few - mostly corporates, government bodies or institutions with power and influence. Children are thought to be too young to help. They are relegated to the sidelines, as if issues that affect the world and the communities in which they live have nothing to do with them. In fact, it has everything to do with them. THS’s inclusive and community-oriented mission and values meant that it was always fertile ground for a volunteer movement. From the beginning, there has been tremendous support from THS school leadership. It is their belief that cultivating the desire for volunteerism, community service and social responsibility must start early and during a child’s formative years.

What started as Project Hope in early 2019 by three THS teachers to improve the lives of others has grown into the Social Impact and Sustainability Program (SISP), a three-stage plan to grow awareness and opportunities for more students and teachers to volunteer and act for the future they want. Thus far, our initiatives have focused on providing support to ethnic minority groups in Hong Kong, the elderly, and those in need. In aggregate, over 500 students, parents, teachers, local community groups, district councils and private organization partners have been mobilized. With this in mind, we set our sights further. What if social impact and community service were incorporated into daily school life so that they became a seamless and consistent feature of the learning at school for both students and faculty? And so Project Hope evolved and expanded its scope to become the Social Impact and Sustainability Program, bringing under the umbrella

“T HS aims to demonstrate through SISP that adopting a community service and sustainable development education as an integral K to G12 curriculum is feasible.

”

a focus on sustainability, guided by the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The Program’s main thrust is to spark curiosity and interest in our student body through the introduction of basic but important concepts of volunteerism and community service. By keeping SISP initiatives simple yet thoughtful, keeping activities high energy, highly interactive and relatable to our students, our long-term goal is to establish a fullblown community service program formally embedded into the school’s curriculum and course offerings.

As a leader in progressive education, THS aims to demonstrate through SISP that adopting a community service and sustainable development education as an integral K to G12 curriculum is feasible. And that in fact, the desire to do good must be fostered early, rising progressively through the academic year groups. By focusing on the people who will lead the charge with changing the world – our children - it is our sincere hope that an action-oriented plan for social impact and sustainability can bring about meaningful change.

About the School

The Harbour School (THS) is a Kindergarten to Grade 12 international school that aims to unlock the best in every student by taking a customized, experiential and inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. THS follows an American curriculum with an emphasis on 21st century skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, communication, self-direction, presentation, flexibility, innovation, and social responsibility, with projects applied to authentic problems. The school was founded in 2007 and is gaining a worldwide reputation as a center of excellence. THS was awarded the International School of the Year, Best School - Humanities & Social Sciences and Best Technology Program at the Hong Kong Education Awards 2021 organized by local publisher Hong Kong Living.

Core Values

LIFEWORTHY LEARNING

Experience is defined as “an event or occurrence which leaves an impression on someone” and we view it as paramount to the learning journey.

EXPERIENCE FIRST

Experience is defined as “an event or occurrence which leaves an impression on someone” and we view it as paramount to the learning journey.

INVESTED IN THE INDIVIDUAL

Know that each person within our community comes with a personality, a history, a set of preferences, goals, specific talents and potentials. Everybody doesn’t fit the same mold. We endeavor to find and reveal each individual’s best.

COMMUNITY ORIENTED

We are part of our family, our neighborhood, our school, our city, and our global community. We strive to be responsible and joyful members of each. REDEFINING

A new set of rigorous classroom expectations is evaluated in terms of the intellectual, personal, academic and creative challenge of an experience, rather than the passive absorption of historically-driven expectations.

STEWARDS OF THS

Organisation Structure

As in 2021/22, THS’s daily operations were led by 13 members in the Senior Management Team, overseen by the Board of Directors constituting of 7 members (5 new appointees in the board with effect from 1 February 2022).

THS is a community-oriented organisation that values its employees and supports continued growth and education of all staff. We aim to have a work environment that mirrors our school, with staff loving to come in each day just as much as our students love coming to school. Working at THS should be as much of a joy as the learning experiences are, and we aim to inspire future leaders in progressive education. THS is organised into two departments: academic and administrative. The school’s strategic thrusts of internal, inclusive, and sustainable reforms lead to the institutionalisation of the Social Impact and Sustainability Program, directly under the Head of School, where there is focus on education for sustainable development, as well as sustainability in its operations.

Our People

THS views children as complex individuals with unique needs, goals, personalities, and backgrounds, and it rejects the concept of “average” when applied to peopleTHS students, alongside teachers and parents, learn every day to celebrate human diversity and work with different types of people. These are attitudes and skills, learned unconsciously, that they will carry through adulthood.

“THS is culturally diverse, with students from approximately 40 countries, and is intentionally inclusive”

Employee Benefits

THS strives to offer a fair and competitive compensation and benefits program for all staff members. Benefits that are provided automatically to full-time workers at the company include life insurance, health care, disability and invalidity coverage, paid school holidays, personal leave, free tuition scholarship for dependent children (teaching or senior admin staff only), and extended paternity leave. Courses, programmes, workshops, conferences, memberships, and seminars for continuous professional development are encouraged for both teachers and non-teaching staff.

THS Community

At THS, community is very important to us.

Our students collaborate in their classes, lunch clubs, and after-school programs on various initiatives that benefit the school community, the local Hong Kong community, and beyond.

Every week, our teachers contribute to thought leadership, allowing us to share what we do at THS.

Our parents have always been one of our most valuable assets. THS Parent Teacher Association Ltd (PTA) is a non-profit organisation comprised of all THS parent and teacher representatives. The PTA strives to maintain parental involvement in order to support an optimal educational environment for our children and to foster strong community relations among parents, teachers, and school administration.

The Children’s Institute

The Harbour School (THS) and The Children’s Institute of Hong Kong (TCI) have a special relationship because of their shared commitment to offering an inclusive community and curriculum to all students. This continuum gives families a comprehensive overview of the inclusion procedure so that as their children progress through primary and secondary school, they do so with a program and support that broadens their accomplishments and enables targeted growth in specific areas of need.

It is important that all community members are aware that The Harbour School is home to all full-time students, regardless of the inclusion involving TCI. Students and parents are invited to all PTA and social functions as members of the THS Community. This includes class parent communications, school fairs, day or nighttime parent socials, galas, and fundraisers, among other things.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

THS is proud of its commitment to an inclusive community founded on the belief in diversity, equality, and inclusion. THS dedicates time in April of each year to celebrate neurodiversity because it is in these differences that we are stronger together. The Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee was established and it supports accepting and celebrating individuals, and what makes every one of us special. Everyone at the school, whether they are faculty, staff, or students, needs to feel valued, respected, and listened to.

Green Campus Design

The Grove campus was designed by renowned international design company P&T Architects and Engineers, and it has received praise from all over the world for its ground-breaking and innovative school design. The design of the Grove has earned the architectural firm two prestigious awards. Interior architectural design plays an important role in many aspects of student learning and design choices have the ability to support an active learning environment. The interior design of the Grove was inspired by “The Harbour School’s unique approach to teaching which is different from other international schools in Hong Kong, emphasizing experiential learning by stimulating students’ natural curiosity, imagination and joy in learning.”

THS Energy Consumption

THS strives to employ energy-efficient guidelines and policies by connecting with councils like the Green Council and The Business Environment Council. It also expands its network in terms of energy conservation by applying to different organisations like the BEC Low Carbon Charter, CPD Reporting the Hong Kong Green Organisation Certificates and HK Electric’s Happy Green School Label Scheme 2022-2023. At the classroom level, information and education campaigns on energy efficiency and responsible power consumption are also carried out.

THS Energy Audit

To ensure energy efficiency, an energy audit was conducted by professional engineers in the campus. They went through a thorough inspection of equipment (air conditioning units, lifts and escalators), lighting and plumbing systems, as well as an analysis of the electrical layout vis-a-vis energy bills and consumption.

THS Water Consumption

Green Procurement

THS started the green procurement scheme for school supplies in early 2022 under the collaborative efforts of different internal teams, with the aim to ensure the sustainability of the world’s forest resources and make the school campus more sustainable.

Under THS’s first green procurement project, the teams worked together to research and procured a recycled copier paper which is wrapped in non-plastic package and is rated with an ISO 14001 for Environmental Management System, with more green stationeries procurements under progress and evaluation.

THS requires all students to take school buses or public transportation to school and a strictly-enforced Mandatory Bus Policy that parents must sign preventing the use of private cars.

SUSTAINABILITY IN THS

THS Sustainability Journey

Social Impact and Sustainability Program (SISP) is THS’s framework to build social consciousness and sustainability mindset within the school by incorporating United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals into its curriculum and encouraging students, faculty and parents to contemplate and execute these goals through involvement and executing the programs planned and tailored initiatives for each grade level from Prep, Primary, Middle to High School. Its mission is to build social consciousness within THS by educating all community members on the UN SDG and encouraging them to reflect on these goals during their social involvement. SISP has two full time staff who lead activities and initiatives that children, teachers, and the whole school community can take part in. Both staff are Global School Advocates, who are trained in the fundamentals of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). They serve as community action planners and connectors, who ensure the long-term implementation of a school-wide strategy for integrating the SDGs, as well as global citizenship in school curricula and operations.

SISP collaborates closely with teacher-led committees such as the Green Committee and the Diversity Equality and Inclusion Committee, and the administration like the Operation Team to make the campus more sustainable.

SISP aims to serve as a platform to connect all stakeholders, and advocate other K12 schools to participate in the global movement to commit to sustainable development.

Sustainability Survey

The SISP Program execution is divided across three (3) terms:

Term 1 - Awareness / Education

Term 2 - Exposure / Planning

Term 3 - Take Action / Accountability

SISP conducted two sustainability surveys for over 200 THS students from Junior Grade 1 to Grade 8 (aged 5 to 14) in May 2022 and in May 2023, one year after the baseline survey of SISP. The level of awareness of THS students remain stable from the previous year. There is a slight decrease on the importance of learning SDGs in school but a huge increase in the students sharing to their parents and friends about the SDGs. SISP strongly advocates K12 schools to invest ample time and attention into impact measurement which would form an integral part to disclose the students’ positive behavioural change. Intangible impacts on students would further benefit the society by transmitting a ripple of positive mindset towards sustainability through the students’ personal networks.

#theheartofharbourschool

THS established Project Hope in 2019 to serve as a catalyst and platform for the school’s vision to integrate and weave a mindset of community service into the core of its academic fabric. Inspired by social responsibility programs present and implemented in sizable enterprises and corporations organized, participated in and sustained by employers and employees in the workforce, THS deems that the same framework must be equally applied in a school setup and strongly believes that cultivating a mindset of community service and sustainable development must start during a child’s formative years.

The project started humbly in 2019 with single digit events and eventually evolved and grew with the support of the school and its community. It has successfully completed 26 events from 2019 to early 2022 despite the challenging times of COVID. Its initiatives so far focused on elderlies and ethnic minorities in Hong Kong and people in developing countries. Its thrust is to spark curiosity and interest by introducing basic but important concepts of volunteerism and community service through activities that are simple yet thoughtful, highly interactive and relatable, easy to comprehend and execute, with a long-term aim to establish a full-blown community service and sustainability program formally embedded into the school’s curriculum and course offerings.

IMPACTS

Project Hope structures projects into nuggets of tasks for students that are not overwhelming but may be easily shared with. Project Hope advocates to the students that small steps, when aggregated, result in a big stride leading to positive contribution and change

INNOVATION SUSTAINABILITY

Project Hope strengthens partnerships and engagement within the school, with outside community and partner institutions too, It will continue serving as a catalyst and an instrument for the school’s vision to embed a positive mindset for social impact and responsibility into the very fabric of the school’s culture - inclusion, kindness and humanity

The journey of Project Hope can show to other school that a small community service initiative can grow and become a school-wide movement, and eventually lead to the creation of a formal sustainability program. THS would make certain parts of its sustainability program accessible to other schools to help serve as a baseline or benchmark for their own program development.

PROJECT HOPE ACTIVITIES

More than Meatless Monday

THS launched the More Than Meatless Monday (MMM+) Campaign in August 2021 and encouraged all stakeholders to commit to a sustainable diet and contribute to sustainability. THS invited food businesses to engage with the students— from well-known ones like Nestlé HK and Green Monday to start-up companies like TiNDLE, Good Food Technologies, and Garden Hill—in order to show how plant-based eating could become one of the forces behind sustainable development. In 2021, MMM+ was enhanced by the construction of a small rooftop farm with Rooftop Republic. THS strongly believes the promotion and adoption of plant-based diet to the younger generation is key to achieving Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050. So far THS has 100 students, parents, teachers and other community members joining the school-wide movement, and pledge to eat other options aside from meat on Mondays.

As part of the celebration of World Vegan Day on 1 November 2021, SISP promoted plant-based diet together with THS Meatless Monday Campaign spearheaded by Ms. Greenberg. SISP invited Green Monday, Nestlé HK, Good Food Technologies and Garden Hill for sharing and tasting sessions. Students in grades 5 through 8 learned how a plant-based diet can have positive effects and how innovation and technology are key drivers of sustainability. Green Monday also held an interactive booth to connect how plant-based diet contributes to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The whole school community is involved in the Meatless Monday Campaign with over 100 participants, and has successfully completed close to 20 events, despite the challenges brought by Covid-19. The 38 students who participated in the initiative would prevent 7,658 miles of greenhouse gas emissions, save 21,251 bathtubs worth of water, 2,062 fish, and 49.5 tennis courts worth of forest, extend their lives by 63 days, create 23127.7 square meters of marine reserve, and allow 125.8 chickens to cross the road each year.

Other Sustainability Initiatives

Our catering supplier is very accommodating of sustainable menu requests and packaging for the food. They use packaging made of bamboo pulp for their food and they do not supply cutlery. THS’ Development Team distributed bamboo utensils to students and staff, and single-use cutlery and water bottles are highly discouraged.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Marine Science Center

THS Centre of Excellence

The Marine Science Center is an aquarium and laboratory facility with an emphasis on education and outreach programs. THS is perhaps the only one of the few primary and secondary schools in Asia with an on-campus “wet lab” – an impressive marine science research and education facility with many marine animals and plants including coral species unique to Hong Kong. The school also has an “outdoor classroom” – a 50-foot sail boat affectionately named the Black Dolphin manned by an experienced crew with science backgrounds which takes students on field trips in Hong Kong waters to study local marine life and the ocean. Students at the school are taught marine science and ocean topics, from Pre-K through to Grade 12 by marine science specialists. At THS, Marine Science is not a special or extra class - it is potentially a part of all classes. The MSP faculty (two marine biologists and the ship’s captain and first mate) meet with teachers to explore ways to utilize these resources to support and extend already existing science, social studies, English or math topics. Since MSP experiences are woven into other classes - not just in science but also literacy, social studies and the arts - this increased enthusiasm might contribute to a heightened interest in all aspects of school. Students develop a deep appreciation and responsibility for not only our oceans and marine creatures, but for all of nature, when ocean literacy is integrated throughout the curriculum.

Outreach

THS helped other schools incorporate marine science into their curriculum as part of their advocacies when the two THS MSC Staff were appointed to the board of the Asia Marine Education Association (AMEA). They jointly presented their research at the 2021 US National Marine Educator Association (NMEA) on “Infusing Curriculum Standards with Ocean Literacy Principles”.

The use of the MSC were made available to children throughout Hong Kong during the THS’s Fully Immersive Scholars’ Holiday (FISH) programs and School Extension Activities (SEA courses). Aside from that, local kindergartens are invited to conduct several classes in the MSC.

“A 2019 survey of the THS student population revealed that a majority of students have shown a heightened interest in science because they are learning about the ocean and life in the ocean in a hands-on way at the marine science center and the Black Dolphin.”

Partnerships

THS joined the Oceans3C Initiative, and has collaborated with several other international or local organizations such as Ocean Free Seas, WWF, Greenpeace’s no-straw campaign, Aquameridien for beach cleanups, MakerBay’s coral mapping project and the official international Reef Check. In addition, local organizations such as the Girl Scouts previously used The Black Dolphin. These connections, which are mutually beneficial, not only broaden the program’s ability to assist others, but it also piques the interest of other organizations that then make contributions to others.

Foundry

Black Dolphin

THS Centre of Excellence

The Black Dolphin is a classic 50-foot wooden ketch that serves as The Harbour School’s “outdoor classroom”.

This beautiful vessel is a diesel auxiliary gaff-rigged cruising ketch designed by renowned Southern California marine architect Hugh Angelman and built in 1944 at the Wilmington Boat Works (“Wilbo”) in Wilmington, California. The Black Dolphin is white oak framed and mahogany planked, with teak decks and gum interior trim. At The Harbour School, we believe that learning can be that much more engaging, fulfilling and enriching by experiencing lessons instead of simply taking notes behind a desk in a classroom.

The Black Dolphin is, quite literally, a sailing platform for adventures in science, math, social studies, literacy, art, music and other areas of the curriculum. At The Harbour School, marine sciences are taught at all grade levels. While many sail programs teach sailing, and others focus on character traits and team building, we are one of the few programs that focuses primarily on education and research. Students also learn leadership skills such as collaborative problem-solving, teamwork, resilience and self-reliance. Yes, they also learn to sail and along the way, they also have a lot of fun.

THS Centre of Excellence

The Foundry is a makerspace that is designed to provide a safe place for students to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics (STEAM) by using tools and equipment that encourage innovation and creativity in design and fabrication. All THS students will participate in a fully immersed, intense project in the Foundry for at least one week that is connected to their academic work by collaborating with other teachers. The Foundry is also home to a host of after school programs and enrichment programs that develop proficiency in the use of tools and equipment. The five tools available at The Foundry include woodworking, robotics, electronics, laser cutting, and 3D printing.

Students of all levels of ability are welcome at The Foundry. We encourage collaboration across age groups and support an inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to see Foundry projects via a social justice lens. The Foundry adheres to the constructionist educational approach, where students construct knowledge through handson designing, building, tinkering and fabricating. We expect students to partake in “hard fun” where learning will seem play-like but also provides valuable learning experiences. We want students to put their knowledge to good use and adhere to the “teach them to fish” philosophy in addition to learning new skills in the Foundry. We will purposely create initiatives that encourage students to address realworld issues that benefit humanity by collaborating with educators and other specialists. Students will engage in real-world problem solving this way, and their solutions will be transferable outside of the classroom. We want our students to see regional and global problems and be given the tools they need to work together to develop creative solutions.

The Seaweed Initiative

Seaweed improves seawater quality, increases biodiversity and actively reduces carbon in the atmosphere, thereby playing an extremely important role in combating climate change and promoting ocean sustainability. Hong Kong is surrounded by the ocean, yet seaweed farming is not common in the city.

The school’s Social Impact and Sustainability Program (SISP) proposed to build an educational seaweed farm and was supported by the school management. A school-wide project for the first-time brings cross-collaboration and synergy between the four specialist teams in the school (MSC, BD, The Foundry maker space, and SISP), to provide a hands-on learning experience for students and bring positive impact in the educational and environmental landscape.

THS submitted a funding proposal to the Environment and Conservation Fund for the seaweed project in late 2021, in particular for the materials to build farming prototypes with students. After months of evaluations, in August 2022, THS received an approval of a one-off funding of US$10,000 to launch this educational project for students and the public.

THS was able to connect with 8 seaweed experts from around the world including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Denmark, UK, Saudi Arabia and New Caledonia, who expressed support to the project and provided invaluable advice. Aside from preparing the teaching and learning plan for the students, the four teams went for multiple excursions to the surrounding sea area, scouting for potential sites for prototype deployment and gathering seaweed samples.

The first intensive project was launched in February 2023 for 28 students from Grade 8. The four teams collaborated marvellously to bring the students experiencing a successful deployment: (i) MSC delivered a presentation on the biology of macroalgae and develop knowledge of different seaweed species (green, brown and red seaweed) and their attributes,(ii) SISP provides insights on project management, from research, funding proposal to project execution, (iii) The Foundry makerspace leads the students to develop engineering, woodworking, creative experience and skills to build a seaweed farm prototype. The Foundry Team encourages students to apply Design Thinking (ideate, design, build) and Engineering Design processes to the project development, and subsequent constructional iterations. The students were able to complete their design and prototypes using a variety of tools and machines (e.g., Japanese pull saws, hand chisels), learning skills from developing a design plan, building and knot tying; to perform safety checks and build anchors; and lastly perform water, stability and buoyancy tests. (iv) BD embarked to the designated sea locations in two groups and placed the prototypes. A total of 10 structures were deployed in the open sea using two common seaweed species - Ulva and Sargassum. In a span of 1 month since deployment, the seaweed has seen a growth of 30cm to 40cm.

Meanwhile, other grade levels have learnt about the seaweed initiative through roadshows and whole-school announcements, ready to collaborate with the specialist teams for the next set of learning activities (e.g., using the harvested seaweeds for bioplastic experiments).
