KGV Recruitment 2006

 

 

Thank you for viewing the KGV website and showing interest in working with us.

 

To whet your appetite further, find out how some of last year's recruits have got on during their first year at KGV (click for movies of first impressions).

 

You will have seen that we are a large and growing school of 1650+ students and c120 teachers. Our results are outstanding and our student body is extraordinary.

 

In September 2004 I joined the school as the Principal and we have begun to work on a range of initiatives to take the School into a new era. Our aim is quite simply to be one of the best schools in the world. Given our context (staff, students, facilities, community) this is a realistic aim.

 

The recruitment round is managed through ESF (http://www.esf.edu.hk/jobs.html). You can find details and conditions of service, and frequently asked questions through the ESF website.

 

We will be seeking to make many major appointments for September 2006.
