“We enjoy walking to school with both our children every day and bumping into their friends along the way - witnessing their growth and friendships established! Glenealy creates a loving and close community where our children feel happy, safe and engaged which we think is crucial to their development as a whole person.”

“We asked our kids why they love school so much and these are some of the responses they give: “Teachers are kind and they teach kids to be kind and caring”; “We’re learning new things everyday and it’s fun learning”. Our kids are very proud to be a part of ESF Glenealy, they wake up, every morning, full of energy and looking forward to going to school. This is such a great experience as parents.”

What attracted us to Glenealy was its small size and it being a local community school. Walking our children to school and meeting other families along the way is a great way to get to know the students and their families. With only 2 classes per year the children (and parents) get to know each other very well and this helps foster a great sense of belonging and friendship.

"33 years doing what I loved the most, and now in the twilight of my years, with the help of social media and the internet, find myself shrouded in memories and still, even now at 82, teaching the children of children I taught in Glenealy. Now living in Surrey UK, I can sit and revel in the number of Hong Kong visitors who found time to visit me and to listen to the many ‘Life after Glenealy
stories.’
My aim in those early years was simply to arouse a thirst for music and drama and through fun and performance, promote confidence in communication. We now see ex Glenealians, leaders in their chosen fields all around the world, standing up and making themselves heard.
Long may it continue.
My very best wishes to the Principal, teachers, educational assistants, pupils and wonderful site staff. So many happy memories!"

"Attending Glenealy Junior School in the late '70s to early '80s was formative and memorable. Miss Handyside, both feared and respected, set high standards that shaped our work ethic and values. Her discipline created a strong foundation, while the friendships and unique school spirit made those years unforgettable."

“As a Glenealy alumnus, it’s exciting to have sent all three of my children to the school at which I grew up, while at the same time experiencing how in the intervening years, Glenealy has transformed from strength to strength, still providing a solid foundation where each child can thrive.”

What’s new at Glenealy School?
Last week, our school transformed into a vibrant, living museum. Our 360 student artists took on the role of docents, guiding families through buzzing spaces filled with an incredible breadth of work including dioramas, ceramics, a bioluminescence gallery, and stunning mixed-media canvases.
From Chinese landscapes inspired by the Year 6 camp in Yingde, to the Year 3’s metallic light installation, the depth of conceptual inquiry was incredible. We even celebrated sustainability by weaving our art studio’s protective table paper into a stunning textile masterpiece.
A huge congratulations to our courageous student artists. You didn’t just create art, you invited us all into a profound dialogue. Swipe to see our students in action!

Student Achievement: Pari
Pari recently won a Bronze medal in the Lower Primary category at the Hong Kong Art Centre for her collage made with recycled materials. Her piece, titled "Collaglacier: Piecing Together a Cooler World," is currently being honored and will be on display at the art centre until 14 June.
Congratulations Pari!
Another great morning of sport for Glenealy School. This time, it was the biathletes' turn to represent us at the HKPSSA championships at KGV. Well done, biathletes, you did an amazing job. We're all super proud of you 🏊♀️🏃♂️
🎮 ESF e-sports tournament! Our team had a strong showing in the group stage - **1 win, 1 loss** - and finished tied with Peak School. Unfortunately, Peak advanced to the semifinals based on total points, but we’re proud of how we played. Great work, team!** 💪
The playground was transformed into an arena of wonder, courtesy of the incredible HK Circus Experience funded and organised by our amazing PTA. This was an absolute inspiration to us all. Having the opportunity to see professional performers up close not only brought pure joy to the children's faces but also gave them a firsthand look at the dedication, balance, and resilience required to master such unique skills. We extend a huge thank you to the PTA for making this event possible.
Today we held our House Talent Finals during the Friday assembly, with every House proudly represented on stage. From singers and dancers to musicians and makers, our students brought creativity, courage, and joy to the spotlight. A huge well done to all our finalists and to everyone who auditioned. Glenealy definitely has talent. Our judges now have the very tough job of choosing a winner, which will be revealed at the next assembly.
This stop-motion video was made by Albert, Sun, and Carlton. We used printed out props on Canva and combined different Canva graphics to make the humans. We put all our Yearly assembly quotes into the stop-motion, and we had fun making it and voice-acting the characters. We made this video for the children who are going come to Glenealy School or children who might come to Glenealy School. This video was made to teach the children some of the values in our school. It was an amazing opportunity to show Mr Coyle our stop-motion - we will always remember this moment!
🎨 We’re all feeling excited about our Art Walk tomorrow evening! Here’s a sneak preview of just one of the spectacular works of art that will be on display. Our student artists are feeling very proud indeed! 🖼️
🔨 It was an industrious break time for children working in our Outdoor Classroom. They skillfully build a frame using hammers and nails for hanging the herbs we grew in our hydroponics unit 🌱
