CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
It gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report for the Board of Management of The
Hong Kong Sea School for the 2009-2010 year.
The Board continued to operate the Hong Kong Sea School in the capacity of the Sponsoring
Body (SSB) for that institution. Since 2008 the school has been directly operated by an
Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) which comprises managers from the School
Sponsoring Body, the teaching staff of the school, the members of the Parents and Teachers'
Association (PTA), the Old Boy's Association and an Independent Manager. The SSB retains a
majority of managerial positions on the IMC and for the current year, the following members of
the Board of Management served as IMC Managers - Mr Cowen Chiu (Chairman), Mr Philip Kan
(Secretary), Ms Michelle Low (Treasurer), Mr Gaston Chan, Ms Anna Hong, Mr William Yip and
Mr Lucas Chan. I thank these members for their contribution to the development of the school.
One of the main challenges facing SSB each year has been the coordination of the various groups
involved in the operation of the School to ensure the smooth running of the school itself while,
at the same time, the aggregation of funds to support the non-subvented activities of the school.
The introduction of the IMC has moved us further along the path of ensuring that these two
challenges are overcome. The inclusion of Managers with direct stakes in the school from the
Old Boy's Association and the PTA has seen the development of closer ties with these groups and
a more collegial atmosphere as all the major groups involved in the operation of the school
become more aware of the guiding mission of the School and the difficulties in moving the
school into the 21st century and meeting the needs of modern students.
It is, perhaps, appropriate that, at this time, I reiterate the guiding principles upon which the
forerunner of the SSB established the school in 1946 and the historical development of that
vision. The Hong Kong Sea School exists to provide secondary education to boys from
disadvantaged backgrounds. That education is vocationally oriented as well as based on a
boarding model and a major feature of this education is the importance of self and corporate
discipline which we aim to develop through regular drill and ceremonial parade - the discipline
services model. However, the Hong Kong Sea School must offer more than a basic subvented
educational package if it is to meet the needs of the our boys effectively. Therefore, the school
places great emphasis upon providing those "extras" which are now becoming an essential part
of the modern educational offerings of mainstream secondary schools throughout the Territory.
These "extras", including our vocational training programmer and our adventure pursuits
activities have now been recognized as valuable and are included in the Other Learning
Experiences (OLE) which are mandated for inclusion in the curriculum. However, the operation
of such programmes comes at a considerable financial cost, most of which is still borne by the
SSB through the various donations and fund raising programmes. It is important to recognize
the value of all the many donors to the operation of the school and in the past year three major
donors have enabled us to provide opportunities for the boys which are not seen elsewhere in
Hong Kong: the staff of the Royal Bank of Scotland raised HK$250000 specifically to enable our
senior boys to study at the Maritime Services Training Institute; the Stormy Dragons dragonbaot
team donated HK$150000 to offset expenses associated with the lifeguard training programme
and the Kadoorie Charitable Trust has guaranteed an annual donation of HK$120000 over ten
years to support boarding scholarships for needy boys. In addition to the many smaller donors,
both corporate and private, who support the school through donations to the SSB, on behalf of
the Board, I extend my sincere gratitude.
The buildings of the Hong Kong Sea School are old and the continual battering of the elements is
a continual challenge to their upkeep. Under the School Subvention agreement the cost of this
upkeep is borne by the Government and, on behalf of the SSB, I must thank the officers of the
various government departments who work so closely with the School to ensure the
maintenance of our valuable resources. As members realize, commencing 2003, a major
programme of renovation and school improvement has been ongoing and we have seen the
provision of a new teaching and multi-purpose building, upgraded dormitory facilities, new
teaching rooms for Science and Design and Technology, complete rewiring of the School's
electrical system, the provision of glare reduction film on classroom windows and the expansion
of air-conditioning in classrooms. The final installation of air-conditioning was completed this
year thanks to funds from the SSB. I am pleased to report that the last two projects in this cycle
have been approved for completion - the completion of the perimeter fence upgrade will greatly
enhance the look of the school as well as provide improved security; and, the final phase of the
sewage programme will see all waste water and sewage redirected away from the current ailing
sumps towards the new underground facility in Wong Ma Kok Road. Once this relocation has
been completed, the Parade Ground will be fully repaved.
2009-2010 has been a busy year for the School and I should like to thank on behalf of the SSB all
those hardworking staff who have contributed to the success of the School this year. To the
members of the SSB who have given me, personally and professionally, such strong support this
year, please accept my gratitude. To all members of the SSB, please take every opportunity to
visit the school and be a part of the success of the boys who benefit from a Sea School
education.

deficit of HK$300,137. Consequently, the General Fund has decreased from a surplus of
HK$1,719,945 as at 31st August 2009 to a surplus of HK$1,419,808 as at 31st August 2010.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2009-2010
It gives me great pleasure to present my report for the period 1 September 2009-31 August 2010.
The year was a very busy one for all at the School and I am extremely grateful for the time and
effort of the staff in supporting the many programmes the school offers for the boys. I should
also like to express my appreciation to the members of the School Sponsoring Body and the
Incorporated Management Committee for their guidance during the year and their unstinting
support of the School.
In 2009-2010 the total number of formal school days during 2009/10 was 190. In addition to
these, the School was open for students during all weekends during term and at specified times
during major vacation periods. The school year at the Sea School includes a comprehensive
Community Service program in which, for example, performances by the School Marching Band
at charity events play a major part. The majority of these are on weekends and public holidays.
In addition, much of the School’s involvement in sporting activities is carried on during weekends
for the purposes of competition and training.
Student enrolment for 2009/10 at September 2009 was 259 students comprising 100% boarders.
Of these, 35 resided on Hong Kong Island, 71 in Kowloon and the remaining 253 in the New
Territories.
The School operated 10 classes from S1-S5 with a student establishment of 300. Student
strength in 2009/10 was 259 representing a 86.3 percent occupancy rate. This represented a
small decrease in numbers compared with 2009-2010 but was well within tolerable limits and
enabled the School to bring on-line another dormitory to ease congestion.

Total subvented staff strength for the School in 2009/10 was 80 staff comprising: 27 teaching
staff, 13 Boarding Services staff, 21 ancillary staff, 16 staff employed under a variety of EDB
specific purpose grants and 3 staff employed directly by the School Sponsoring Body of The Hong
Kong Sea School. The staff strength for the School and Boarding Sections in 2008/09 is
summarized below.
Since 2007/2008, the School absorbed a larger number of posts previously supported by the
School Sponsoring Body of the Hong Kong Sea School, leading to an increase in School Section
subvented positions from 54 to 61. In addition, the practice of employing Boarding Assistants
with funds raised from the Senior Students Boarding Fees was retained in 2009/2010.

Staff Development
Instructional staff comprise a mix of young, energetic teachers, many with limited working
experience (c. 40% with fewer than 4 years teaching experience) together with 29 percent with in
excess of 11 years experience both in Hong Kong and international education systems. To
enhance the professional competencies of the high percentage of inexperienced staff and to
maintain the competencies of longer-serving members, the School places a considerable
emphasis on staff professional development each year. In previous years a teaching post has
been frozen under the Substitute Teacher Grant Scheme and revenue received directly channeled
to staff development costs in covering the tuition costs of group and personal programs. In
2009-2010, this process was not maintained due to reductions in the staff establishment with the
introduction of NSS. Surplus in the TRG was still used for staff professional development
support, among other uses.
In order to assist staff upgrade their professional qualifications in line with the needs of the
School, financial support in terms of full or partial assistance with program costs and the School
provided flexible working hours to enable staff to meet study commitments. For 2009/10, the
study commitments of staff ranged from obtaining professional qualifications for teaching to the
development of knowledge and skills specific to their duties in the School.
Two focused features of the professional development program in 2009/2010 have been the
preparation of 3-3-4 , upgrading of pedagogical and pastoral care skills in SEN related fields and
anti-drugs.
Performance of Students
In 2009/10 the School entered 40 candidates in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education
Examinations (HKCEE). In a departure from previous years, all students were required to enter
up to 5 HKCEE subjects.

Physical Endeavours Performance
School Physical Fitness Awards Scheme
The Hong Kong Sea School places considerable emphasis upon the maxim “A Healthy Mind in a
Healthy Body”. Consequently, physical fitness in a wide variety of contexts occupies a
prominent place in the School’s curriculum.
The School is a participant in the EDB School Physical Fitness Awards Scheme and, in 2009-2010 ,
all students participated in the scheme.
Highlights
Secondary 5 Leadership Camp
From 16-27 November 2009, all S5 boys participated in the S5 Leadership Camp. Boys faced
physical challenges and participated in team building and problem solving activities during the
camp. The camp was held in 2 groups: while one group was on camp the other was preparing
for HKCEE examinations.
Secondary 4 Leadership Camp
From 2-6 November and 9-13 of november 2009, the S4 Leadership Training Camps were held.
Boys were divided into two groups each of which spent 5 days in the Camp which featured, in
addition to physical training activities, command tasks and bushcraft exercises designed to
develop the students' self confidence in their own abilities as well as providing practice in
collaborative planning and cooperative learning activities to enhance their leadership
effectiveness.
Annual Cultural Trip
From 7 – 11 December 2009, the School held its Annual Cultural Trip to China. This year the S3
& S4 students, parents and staff visited RuYuan and S1 & S2 students visited Zhaoqing and
Guangzhou as part of the EDB’s cross-border school links program. The boarding school near
RuYuan was partly damaged after its previous snow storm, and was seriously under-resourced,
gave the students and staff an excellent opportunity to assist the school as well as learn from the
indigenous culture of the area.
East Asian Games
From 4-12 December 2009, the East Asian Games were held in Hong Kong. S5 students and
staff participated in the volunteer services which included flag raising, band performance and
ceremonial services.
Annual Year Level Sea Expeditions
Sea Expeditions for S1 to S3 were completed in the period mid-April to end of May. The
programs were held at local locations such as To Tei Wan for the S1 and S2 groups and the sea
surrounding Stanley for senior secondary students. A feature of the sea journey programs is
the increasing difficulty of the programs from junior to senior levels with some groups
constructing rafts that they use to transport themselves to their camp sites and senior boys being
required to spend two nights aboard sailing boats.
Work Experience Program (S5)
During January 2010, student in S5 spent 3 to 4 weeks on structured workplace learning within
local organizations in the Hospitality, Maritime and security & Guarding industries. Students
worked at various tasks in the organizations and were assessed by their workplace supervisors
on a number of generic workplace skills. The supporting groups include The Peninsula,
Cosmopolitan Hotel, Pizza Express HK , the Aberdeen Marina Club, Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club,
Hong Kong Country Club, Adventure Ship, Shun Tak (China Travel) Hong Kong United Dockyards,
New World First Ferry, South China Towing and Hong Kong-Yaumati Ferry all provided
placements for students.
From 17 May - 11 June 2010, all S5 students participated in a Work Placement Prorgamme which
included placements in Lifeguarding with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and a
variety of occupations within the Security & Guarding industry with a new placement program
being offered by.Swire Group leading to permanent posts for our students.
The students normally spent a five/six-day working week at the respective organisations and one
day per week at School for follow-up activities and programs.
Community Service
The School operates a comprehensive community service program which includes providing ad
hoc assistance to community groups and charities via the School Marching Band, student and
staff helpers.
Activity Learning Program
The activity program, which is conducted from 1615 hours to 1800 hours Monday to Thursday for
all students, complements the academic program and the School also offers a wide range of
interest-based and skill-based activities designed to promote students’ interest in learning
and/or provide them with some initial skills for vocational training. Activities are loosely
divided into Land- and Sea-based activities and include aquatic sports – sailing, canoeing,
windsurfing; land sports – track and field athletics, gymnastics, fencing and judo, cycling,
basketball and football; cultural learning opoortunities in the School Band; general activities such
as First Aid, Life Saving, Information Technology andCooking. The School has relaunched its Sea
Scout Cadet in 2008/2009 and assemblies continue to commence on Friday afternoons.
Extensive Reading Scheme
The School curriculum places a heavy emphasis on the development of core competencies in
Reading and Writing. In 2009/10 the School continued the Extensive Reading Scheme which
rates students’ reading at Gold, Silver or Bronze levels based upon the number of books read and
the standard of the reading reports submitted. In addition, the students’ reading program
includes the reading of Chinese language newspapers during morning Classmaster period and
evening Prep Time also includes reading and writing elements. These schemes have provided a
more lively, interesting reading culture at the School and the School has seen the enhancement
of language competencies as a result of increased access to reading by the students.
Major Concerns in 2009-2010
Considerable improvement has been noted in the SSE and anecdotal accounts of staff and other
stakeholders in relation to student behaviour and attitudes to classroom learning. However, if
the School is to provide our students with a sufficiently wide range of life choices, a great deal
more must be done to help these students develop academically.
The basic emphasis of the School Development Plan for the triennium 2009-2012 is: No Child is
to be Left Behind.
To accomplish this goal, the School will have to embrace a model of comprehensive school
reform.
(i)
Implementation of 3-3-4 NSS curriculum
(a)The school will continue to provide academic and vocational-oriented studies
(b)Traditional training in MS will remain a characteristics, while balanced emphasis on other
KLA be maintained
(ii)
Promotion of School Image
(a)To develop a more disciplinary school culture
(b)Encourage more active participation of staff and students in learning and sports activities
(iii)
Improvement of campus facilities
(a)Effectively deliver teaching and learning
(b)Provide sufficient accommodation for all students, so as both to satisfy the need of
students, and to allow the delivery of our special curriculum, which extends into the
evening
(iv)
Enhancement of the quality of service in a whole-school approach
Enhance the quality of service by means of emphasizing a whole school approach of
discipline mode and pastoral care through providing structured development of staff
(v)
Establishment of a safe and healthy campus
(a)Continue to arouse the students’ awareness of drug and bullying issues through tructured
seminars and workshops
(b)Implementing policies on self hygiene and cleanliness through activities for a better
understanding on the importance of public health
(c)One-school policy on discipline and guidance

Pursuant to the Education (Amendment) Ordinance 2004, the School is required to establish an Incorporated Management Committee
(“IMC”) within a period of 5 years. On 28th August 2008, the IMC was established and all assets and liabilities of the School related to
government funds were transferred to the IMC. Accordingly, the operation related to government funds is disclosed as discontinued
operation.

Details of the movements in property, plant and equipment of the School are set out in note 5 to the financial statements.
Members of the Board of Management
The names of the members of the Board of Management during the year are shown on page 1.
In accordance with Article 25 of the School’s Articles of Association, all current members of the Board of Management shall retire and,
being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

On behalf of the Board
Mr C B C Chiu
Chairman
Hong Kong, 3rd May, 2011
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
OF THE HONG KONG SEA SCHOOL
We have audited the financial statements of The Hong Kong Sea School (the “School“) set out on pages 6 to 31, which comprise the
balance sheet as at 31st August 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in total funds and statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Responsibility of the members of the Board of Management for the financial statements
The members of the Board of Management are responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal
control relevant to the preparation and the true and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are
reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a
body, in accordance with section 141 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for no other purpose. We do not assume
responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
entity’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
members of the Board of Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the School as at 31st August 2010 and of its
deficit and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly
prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 General information
The Hong Kong Sea School (the “School”) was founded in 1951, incorporated on 5th August 1967 under the Hong Kong Companies
Ordinance and is limited by guarantee. The address of its registered office is 13-15 Tung Tau Wan Road, Stanley, Hong Kong. The
School is a non-denominational association which provides for the welfare, guidance, training and education of special needs boys for
employment at sea or for such other employment as may be deemed appropriate by the School at its complete discretion.
Under the provisions of the School’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, every member shall, in the event of the School
being wound up, contribute to the assets of the School to the extent of HK$100. At 31st August 2010, the School had 53 (At 31st
August 2009: 53) members.
Pursuant to the Education (Amendment) Ordinance 2004, the School is required to establish an Incorporated Management Committee
(“IMC”) within a period of 5 years. On 28th August 2008, the IMC was established and all assets and liabilities of the School related to
government funds were transferred to the IMC. Accordingly, the operation related to government funds is disclosed as discontinued
operation.
These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise stated. These financial statements have been
approved for issue by the Board of Management on
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
consistently applied to all the years/periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
These policies have been
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the School have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”),
which collective term include all applicable individual HKFRS, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”) and Interpretations issued by
the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the requirements of
Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by
the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets which are carried at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the School’s accounting policies. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are
disclosed in note 4.
(a ) New and amended standards relevant to the School’s operations and adopted by the School and effective for the School’s
accounting year commencing 1st September 2009
HKFRS 7 “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” (amendment)
The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires
disclosure of fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy. The change in accounting policy only results in
additional disclosures.
HKAS 1 (revised) “Presentation of Financial Statements”
The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, “non-owner changes in funds”) in the
statement of changes in funds, requiring “non-owner changes in funds” to be presented separately from owner changes in funds in a
statement of comprehensive income. As a result, the School presents in the statement of changes in funds all owner changes in funds,
statement of comprehensive income. As a result, the School presents in the statement of changes in funds all owner changes in funds,
whereas all non-owner changes in funds are presented in the statement of comprehensive income. Comparative information has been
re-presented so that it also is in conformity with the revised standard. The change in presentation has no effect on the reported
surplus or deficit, total income and expenditure or net assets for any period presented.
(b) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the
School
Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards (collectively, the “Amendments”) have been published
that are mandatory for the School’s accounting periods commencing on or after 1st September 2010. Some of the Amendments are
relevant and applicable to the School; however, they have not been early adopted in these financial statements. The School has
commenced, but not yet completed, an assessment of the impact of the applicable Amendments on its results of operations and
financial position. The members of the Board of Management are of the view that the impact on the financial statements would not
be significant other than certain additional disclosures.
2.2 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the School are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the School operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the
School's functional and presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
2.3 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment losses.
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the School and that cost of the item can be measured reliably. The
carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged in the statement of
comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values
over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
- Boats
- Bradbury pier
- Drascombe gigs
- Furniture and equipment
- Musical instruments
- New classroom block
- New gymnasium block
- Parade ground
- Scallop enclosed lifeboats
- Scallop welding shop
- School buildings
- Sea activities equipment
5 years
Over the remaining period of the lease
5 years
5 years
5 years
5 years
50 years
5 years
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement
of comprehensive income.
2.4 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
2.5 Intangible asset
Intangible asset represents club debenture which is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment
losses.
2.6 Financial assets
2.6.1 Classification
The School classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale. The classification
depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets
at initial recognition.
(a) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of each reporting period. These are
classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables comprise “other receivables” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the balance
sheet (Notes 2.7 and 2.10).
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other categories.
They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of each
reporting period.
2.6.2 Recognition and measurement
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date - the date on which the School commits to purchase or
sell the asset. Loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and
the School has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently
carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and in total funds under
investment revaluation reserve.
When available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in total funds are
included in the statement of comprehensive income as gains or losses from available-for-sale financial assets.
Interest on available-for-sale financial assets calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income as part of other income when the School’s right to receive payments is established.
2.7 Receivables
If collection of receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified
as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less
provision for impairment.
2.8 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to
offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
2.9 Impairment of financial assets
(a) Assets carried at amortised cost
The School assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial
assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss
event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial
assets that can be reliably estimated.
The criteria that the School uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:
• Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;
• A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
• The School, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that
the lender would not otherwise consider;
• It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
• The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or
• Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial
assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in
the portfolio, including:
-
adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio;
national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio.
The School first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists.
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously
recognised impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(b) Assets classified as available-for-sale
The School assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial
assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of
the security below its cost is an evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial
assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment
loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the statement of comprehensive income - is removed from total funds and
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on
equity instruments are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.
2.10 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts, if any.
2.11 Payables
Payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if
longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 Income recognition
Subsidies from Education Bureau are recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the School will comply with the conditions
attaching to it and that the subsidies will be received.
Subsidies from Education Bureau relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income and expenditure statement over the period
necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Subsidies from Education Bureau relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are initially deferred as deferred income
and recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
Specific donations relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are initially deferred as specific funds and recognised as
income on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
General donations and sponsorships are recognised when the right to receive is established.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Sales of tuckshop items and uniforms are recognised when the School had delivered products to the customer, the customer has
accepted the products and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured.
Non-academic activity income and other income are recognised on an accruals basis.
For any income received for future periods, they are recorded as receipts in advance in the balance sheet.
2.13 Employee benefits
(a) Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability
for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
Employee entitlements to sick leave, maternity leave and other non-accumulating compensated absences are not recognised until the
time of leave.
(b) Pension obligations
For non-teaching employees, the School makes contributions to a mandatory provident fund scheme (the “MPF scheme”) in Hong Kong.
The assets of the MPF scheme are held in separate trustee-administered funds. Contributions to the MPF scheme by the School and
non-teaching employees are calculated as a percentage of employees’ salaries. For the teaching employees, the Education Bureau
independently handles their pension plans and the contributions to these plans have been net off against its subsidy to the School.
The School has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.
recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
The contributions to the MPF scheme are
3 Financial and funds risks management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The School’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The School’s overall risk management programme focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the School’s financial performance.
(a)
Market risk
(i)
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises where future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that
is not the School’s functional currency. The School is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk as all transactions are entered
into in the functional currency, which is Hong Kong dollar. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is performed.
(ii)
Price risk
The School is exposed to price risk as investment in equity securities held by the School is classified as available-for-sale financial assets.
The members of the Board of Management are of the opinion that it is not cost efficient to manage the price risk of investment in
equity securities by diversifying its portfolio as the School only invests in one equity security which was purchased many years ago and
for long term investment purpose.
The School’s available-for-sale financial assets under non-current assets are publicly traded. At 31st August 2010, if the price of the
equity securities increased/decreased by 10% (At 31st August 2009: 10%) with all other variables held constant, total funds would have
been HK$0.3m (At 31st August 2009: HK$0.3m) higher/lower.
(iii)
Cash flow interest rate risk
Apart from the bank balances which earn interest at market rates and short-term bank deposits which earn interest at fixed rates, the
School has no significant interest-bearing assets or liabilities. The interest income derived therefrom is relatively insignificant to the
School’s operations. Accordingly, the members of the Board of Management are of the opinion that the School does not have
significant cash flow interest rate risk.
(b)
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from other receivables and cash at banks. Other receivables consist of a number of debtors, and no default payment
is noted from other receivables, the members of the Board of Management are of the opinion that the concentration of credit risk is
low.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparty is a reputable and credit worthy bank.
(c) Liquidity risk
The liquidity of the School is managed and monitored by maintaining sufficient cash balances. The School ensures that it maintains
sufficient cash, which is available to meet its continuous operational needs. In the opinion of the members of the Board of
Management, the School does not have any significant liquidity risk.
The table below analyses the School’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based
on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date.
The amounts disclosed below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

3.2 Funds risk management
The School’s objectives when managing funds are to safeguard the School’s ability to continue as a going concern and to have sufficient
funding for future operations.
The funds of the School comprise general fund, general development fund, investment revaluation reserve and specific funds.
3.3 Fair value estimation
Effective 1st January 2009, the School adopted the amendment to HKFRS 7 for financial instruments that are measured in the balance
sheet at fair value, this requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as
prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
(c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The following table presents the School’s assets that are measured at fair value at 31st August 2010 and 2009.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The School makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
The School follows the guidance of HKAS 39 to determine when an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. This determination
requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the School evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which
the fair value of an investment is less than its cost; and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee,
including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

主席的話
在此，我很高興與大家介紹香港航海學校 2009-2010 年度管理委員會年報。
管理委員會將繼續以學校辦學團體 (SSB) 身份，協助香港航海學校的營運。自 2008 年以來，學校已交由法團委員會（IMC）
直接管理，法團委員會的管理委員包括辦學團體代表、教學人員、家長教師會（PTA）成員，校友會代表和獨立人士組成。辦學
團體一直在法團委員會內保留大部分的管理崗位，以下為法團委員會擔任委員之成員 – 趙不求先生（主席）、簡崇知先生（秘
書）、劉美璇女仕（司庫）、陳志榮先生、康宇嫻女仕，葉錦元先生和陳國熙先生。我衷心感謝各成員對學校發展所作出的貢
獻。
辦學團體主要面臨的其中一項挑戰是，協調各界別參與學校營運，以確保學校運作順利，與此同時，辦學團體亦要籌募資金以
支援各非政府資助的學校活動。引進法團委員會不但能確保克服這兩項挑戰，而且更可以讓我們邁進將來。校友會代表及家長
教師會成員的加入，不但使法團委員會中各界別的發展及聯繫更緊密，而且在會議氣氛上更趨向融合和諧。另一方面，各主要
界別參與學校的運作時，眾委員皆體會發揮學校使命的重要性、如何滿足學生各方面的需要，以及與學校攜手面對二十一紀所
面對的挑戰。
此刻，或許是恰當的時候，我重申闡揚香港航海學校辦學團體於 1946 年創校時，所定下的辦學理念及其歷史發展願景。香港航
海學校的建校理念，是為了向來自貧困家庭的學生提供中學教育，並配以職業導向及寄宿模式。當中最為特色的是，旨在透過
常規步操及閱兵儀式訓練，加強學生的自律性及提升團隊精神。然而，香港航海學校為更有效地達至學生各方面的需要，除既
有的教育模式外，更須提供較基礎資助教育涵蓋範圍更廣之教育範疇。學校非常重視有關的”額外”教育，這亦正成為全港主
流中學教育組成的重要部份。當中包括職業培訓計劃及各類歷奇活動，二者皆確認為富價值之課程；有關部份中的其他學習經
歷(OLE)亦按規定納入課程內容中。但是，各項計劃及活動運作需要相當的財務成本，通過各種捐贈和籌款活動，辦學團體承擔
其中大部份款項。眾捐助者對協助學校運作的重要性毋庸置疑；過去一年，其中三位主要捐助者使我們可以為學生提供放眼香
港的機會：皇家蘇格蘭銀行員工為學校籌得港幣二十五萬元，用以資助高年級學生於海事訓練學院修讀課程；Stormy Dragons
龍舟隊捐贈港幣十五萬元，用以救生員培訓計劃相關項目；嘉道理慈善信託基金每年捐贈港幣十二萬元，為期十年，用以資助
有需要之寄宿學生。此外，更有為數不少捐助者以公司及個人名義，透過向學校辦學團體捐款以支持學校。在此，我謹代表校
董會致以由衷的謝意。
經過風雨歲月沖刷，香港航海學校校舍日漸陳舊，持續的維修及保養工作帶來給學校長期的挑戰。根據學校資助協議，維修及
保養費用是由政府方面承擔，對此，我謹代表學校辦學團體，感謝政府各部門與學校緊密合作，以保護我們寶貴的學校資源。
自二零零三年起，學校各項翻新及改善工程計劃正式展開，至今，多用途教學大樓落成、提升宿舍設施、科學實驗室及設計與
科技工場啟用、重鋪校內電力裝置系統，課室內加設空調及於窗戶上加貼濾光薄膜。由於得到學校辦學團體資助，最後一期課
室空調安裝亦於今年順利完成，與此同時，最後兩項工程亦順利獲得批准，分別為圍欄升級工程以及污水處理計劃最後階段。
前者工程完成後，將大大改善學校外觀及提升保安效能；後者則待所有污廢水由現時已破損的污水坑中，引入黃麻角道地下污
水處理設施後，操場地面則可進行重鋪工程。
二零零九至一零年度是學校辛勤的一年，我謹代表辦學團體感謝所有教職員工勤奮工作而作出的貢獻，促使學校今年順利運作
及得到成功。今年，各學校辦學團體成員給予我個人及專業上的堅定支持，謹讓我在此向各位致以衷心的感謝。最後，誠意邀
請各學校辦學團體成員，撥冗抽空到學校與學生分享及成就香港航海學校的教育理念。
趙不求先生
校董會主席
司庫報告
截至 2010 年 8 月 31 日的一年，香港航海學校辦學團體(SSB)的財務報告為赤字 300,137 港元。因此，一般基金帳戶盈餘已由
2009 年 8 月 31 日的 1,719,945 港元縮減至 2010 年 8 月 31 日止的 1,419,808 港元。
如附註 17 指出，辦學團體在本年度調撥 464,687 港元到香港航海學校法團委員會帳戶以彌補因香港航海學校法團委員會營運開
支所引起的赤字。

二零零九至二零一零年度校長報告
本人深感雀躍在此為 2009 年 9 月 1 日至 2010 年 8 月作出匯報。這是一個非常忙碌的學年；本人對學校員工於各種為學生而設
的活動作出的支援極其感激。在此，本人亦想籍此機會向辦學團體及法團校董會致意，感謝他們給予的指導及無限的支持。
2009-2010 年度本校的上課日數為 190。除此之外，學校於學期期間之週末和於主要假期時段亦為學生開放。
一系列的社區
活動在學年間是主要的部分，包括於慈善活動中作出表演的銀樂隊。有關活動大部分於週末和公眾假期進行。再者，學校亦利
用週末為各類體育活動比賽和訓練作出相關配合。
於 2009 年 9 月學校的註冊學生人數為 259，全部皆寄宿生。其中包 35 名來自港島，71 名九龍的學生，其餘 253 名居住於新
界。
學校於中一至中五級共開設 10 班；批核收生人數為 300。2009/10 學年學校總收生人數為 259，佔 86.3%。數字比去年稍見下
降；這仍可接受的數字卻對學校的宿舍運作帶來舒緩。

教職員發展
本校以一群年輕、具幹勁、年資較淺的教師為主（少於 4 年教學經驗者佔全校教職員比率約 40%），配以 29%超過 11 年在港
或國際教學經驗的教師所組成。為提升年資較淺職員的專業水平，並維持各教職員的教學水準，學校每年均會舉辦教師培訓計
劃。本校將前一年一個代課教師津貼所支付的教職席凍結，並將其金額直接用於職員培訓的各個項目上。因為 2009 至 2010 年
度中，政府計算教席的方法有所改變，上述的做法在新高中學制下未有繼續實行。整合代課教師津貼之盈餘仍繼續用支持不同
的職員專業發展培訓方面。
學校為支持職員提升其專業資歷以切合學校需要，學校在能力範圍內給予半額或全額的課程費用資助；或為職員安排較彈性的
工作時間，以切合他們的培訓需要。在 2009/10 學年，教職員所參予的培訓內容由獲取教育專業認可資歷至與學校工作相關之
知識技能等。
於 2009/2010 年度所定下的兩個專業培訓方向為 3-3-4 新高中課程之實行、照顧有特別學習需要學生的相關教學法及防止濫藥
教育。
學生表現
2009/10 年度，本校有 40 名學生參加香港中學會考(HKCEE)。經過數年的推展，所有學生都被要求參與最少 5 科會考科目的考

學校體適能獎勵計劃
香港航海學校素來強調一以下信念「A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body」。故此，健康體魄在學校的課程中佔一重要地位。
於2009/2010學年，學校參加了由教育局舉辦的學校體適能獎勵計劃，所有學生均有參與。
中五領袖訓練營
2009年11月16日至27日，所有中五學生參加了一個中五領袖訓練營。於訓練期間，學生學習到如何面對環境挑戰、團隊建立及
問題解決的方法及進行問題解決活動。學生分成2組：分別於營中受訓和在校為中學會考作準備。
中四領袖訓練營
2009年11月2至6日及9至13日，學校舉辦中四領袖訓練營，學生分成2組，每組受訓5天，除體能訓練外，內容包括指令訓練
(Command Task)、野外求生技能，目的在於發展個別學生的自信及給予協作籌劃與協商學習的實習。
週年文化之旅
2009年12月7日至11日，學校舉行中國內地文化之旅。期間，中三及中四學生、家長及教職員到中國乳源考察；中一及中二學
生到肇慶與廣州進行教育局跨境學校連繫計劃。我們探訪位於乳源附近的一所寄宿學校，其部分校舍曾經於年前的暴雪中被破
壞；學校嚴重缺乏資源。是次探訪不但可以給師生一個難能可貴的機會，施以扶助，更可從中體會當地的本土文化。
東亞運動會
2009年12月4日至12日，東亞運動會於香港舉行。中五學生及教職員參與有關義務工作，包括升旗、銀樂隊演奏及其他活動儀
式。
週年海上之旅
中一至中三級於4月中至5月底期間進行海上之旅。中一、二級學生之旅程範圍主要為鄰近的土地灣，而高年級學生則活動於赤
柱周邊水域。海上之旅的特色是旅程內容及要求將按年級遞增；從建造竹筏作往返營地的交通工具以至在帆船上生活3天2夜等。
工作體驗計劃(中五)
於2010年1月期間，中五學生被安排於各類型機構進行3至4星期之實習，行業包括膳宿服務、航運及保安服務。工作牽涉各類
型技能，機構對學生的工作表現包括其共通能力作出評估。支持此計劃及提供空缺的機構包括半島酒店、麗都酒店、PizzaExpress
HK、深灣遊艇會、香港遊艇會、香港鄉村俱樂部、乘風航、信德(中旅) 、香港聯合船塢、新世界第一渡輪、南華拖輪及香港小
輪。
從2010年5月17日至2010年6月11日，所有中五學生參與學校安排的就業計劃。此計劃包括<康樂及文化事務處>的拯溺服務及
由<太古集團>提供的一系列有關保安服務行業的就業機會。
學生一般於機構進行每週5 / 6天的工作體驗；學校亦同時利用最少每週1天作出跟進。
社區服務
學校舉辦一系列社區服務活動，內容包括由學校的步操銀樂隊及師生對社區團體及慈善機構提供的服務。
活動學習計劃
以輔助學術活動為目標，每週一至四的活動時間 (下午4時15分至6時) 學校安排一系列以興趣及技能為本的活動，以推動學生接
觸一些有利於職業技能的訓練。簡單而言，訓練包含陸上及水上元素，例如：海上體育包括帆船、獨木舟、滑浪風帆；陸上體
育包括田徑、體操、劍擊、柔道、單車、籃球及足球；文藝學習機會包括銀樂隊；其餘活動包括急救、拯溺、資訊科技及烹飪。
在2008/2009學年，學校再次成立海童軍；於每星期五下午聚會。
廣泛閱讀計劃
學校非常重視發展學生的閱讀及寫作基本能力。在 2009/2010 學年，學校繼續推行廣泛閱讀計劃，透過學生閱讀書籍的數量及
其提交的閱讀報告作為評賞，以識別金、銀、銅三個水平。再者，學生的閱讀活動包括於早上班主任時間閱讀中文報紙及於自
修時段進行閱讀及寫作活動。此計劃能提供學生在學校一種生活化及有趣的閱讀文化。在提升學生接觸閱讀機會的情況下，學
校欣見學生語文能力亦同時提升。
2009/2010年度關注事項
學校除提供學生豐富的生活體驗，也同時了解必需協助學生在學能上的發展。
2009/12 學校發展計劃的重點是：不能放棄任何一個學童
為此，學校計劃推行全面性的學校改革模式。
(i)
