HKIS has a policy on the non-solicitation and acceptance of gifts by HKIS faculty and staff. We understand that from time-to-time, grateful parents may wish to give small gifts to their teachers or to other employees to express appreciation. The best gift a student can give a teacher is a genuine and personal expression of gratitude. A thoughtful thank you is rarer,and has more impact, than a lavish gift. If, in addition to any personal thank you, you or your child wishes to give a small token gift, employees have been instructed that they may accept gifts only if they are not valued over HK$200 and not in the form of cash.
Invitations to lunch, dinner, social events or to participate in Annual Fund events are acceptable as an appreciation of thanks. We value building positive relations among parents, teachers and staff.
