In terms of investment for the future, I can report that during the year we commenced work on 3 new learning centres for the 2025/26 academic year. Two of these were in the Kowloon Bay area (Kingston International Centre and Exchange Tower) which will support our expanded full-time student numbers and one in Sheung Shui (SPOT) to serve the Northen New Territories as well as participants from Shenzhen. We were also granted lease extensions for 10 years by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China for the Kowloon East Campus and Island South (Pokfulam) Campus. In addition, the hybrid working scheme continued to operate well and allowed some consolidation of oªice space. Our Chinese Mainland and international links continued to prosper. In the Chinese Mainland, we were pleased to admit a small irst cohort to our Diploma in Foundation Studies (E-learning mode) (eDFS). We have also entered into a collaborative agreement with Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) to admit a 2025/26 cohort of eDFS students in a face-to-face supported mode provided by the NPU Continuing Education School at their new Taicang Campus near Shanghai. We look forward to more Chinese Mainland collaboration in future.
