Excellent IB results confirm strengths of an ESF education
The English Schools Foundation (ESF) network can take understandable pride in the exceptional results achieved in this year's International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) exams.
Most notably, 18 students were awarded the maximum score of 45 points, while 31 achieved 44 points, and a further 68 attained a final total of 43 points.There was, though, a consistently strong performance across the board, with 97.8 per cent, or 915 of the 936 candidates, earning their diploma. In the process, the average point score recorded was 36.3 which compares very favourably with the global average of 30.3 reported for 2024.
Other highlights of this year's ESF results include the fact that 78 students were awarded the bilingual diploma, while another 62 successfully completed the alternative path offered by the IB Careers Related Programme (IBCP), which has more directly vocational elements in the curriculum.
The 18 perfect scorers came from six different schools and, besides celebrating with family and friends, all are now finalising their plans for university choices and courses.
In preparing for that next big step, they can benefit from the support of
ESF's Future Ready campaign . Its basic aim is to show how these exceptional students were given a platform to be the best they can be, not only in academic subjects, but also because of the transformational opportunities offered throughout their learning journey. And that support is still available as they begin to pursue new goals and look to make a positive impact in the wider world.A good example is Kelly Chak Hoi-lam, a member of the Island School's class of 2025, who has her sights set on studying medicine in Hong Kong. She sees this as a field where it is possible to effect meaningful change as a doctor who not only cures with the help of new advances in science and technology, but also cares for patients.

Hong Kong airport to reduce late-night use of south runway over noise complaints
Hong Kong airport will reduce late-night use of its south runway following noise complaints from Tuen Mun residents struggling to sleep when cargo aircraft pass overhead. Advertisement The Airport Authority confirmed the measure late on Thursday, hours after a lawmaker revealed its plan to address the complaints that a flight path over Tuen Mun's Siu Lam and So Kwun Wat neighbourhoods had caused significant noise pollution. The authority, the airport's operator, said that starting on August 7, the south runway, where cargo operations were usually busy late at night, would stop operating at 2am. 'After 2am, the south runway will be put on standby, while the north or centre runway will be in operation until 7am,' an authority spokesman said. Without mentioning the complaints, the authority said the airport had been implementing noise mitigation measures. Advertisement This included prohibiting aircraft that failed to meet relevant noise standards from landing or taking off and routing arriving flights between 11pm and 7am to approach from the southwest over water, he said.

One-third of Hong Kong IB candidates achieve near-perfect scores
A third of Hong Kong students enrolled in this year's International Baccalaureate (IB) programme have achieved near-perfect or full marks, accounting for nearly 10 per cent of the top achievers globally, according to the latest data. Schools offering the curriculum attributed the students' performance to their strengths in languages, as well as the local culture that placed great emphasis on academic excellence. Pupils from Hong Kong achieved an average total points score that was significantly higher than the global one, according to figures obtained by the Post from the IB body. Over the weekend, 202,000 pupils worldwide, including about 2,600 in Hong Kong, received their results. A total of 9,456 students across the world scored more than 40 out of 45 for the programme, according to the IB organisation. Of them, 871, or 9.2 per cent, were from Hong Kong. This accounts for about 33 per cent of all the city's candidates. But there was no breakdown of the number who achieved full marks. To obtain a diploma, candidates must earn at least 24 points and satisfy specific requirements. No school like home: why Hong Kong parents are choosing home-schooling At least 37 Hong Kong pupils achieved the full 45 points in this year, with 15 from the English Schools Foundation (ESF), the city's largest international school group. According to IB figures, pupils in Hong Kong achieved an average score of 36.72 points, surpassing the global average of 30.58. Their average grade was 5.78, compared with the global one of 4.89. The pass rate of Hong Kong candidates was 97.02, well above the global rate of 81.26. Chau Chor-shing, principal of Po Leung Kuk Ngan Po Ling College, said Hong Kong students took their studies seriously and schools had been offering support measures to cater for their different needs. 'Hong Kong schools would offer supporting measures to cater for the needs of the less able students and high achievers. Western countries may not do so well in this regard when compared with Hong Kong,' he said. Chau added that parents in Hong Kong prioritised academic performance even if their children excelled in sports, and might arrange tutorial classes for them. Jenny Chong Mei-chun, head principal of Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School, said the local education system's strong focus on bilingualism paved the way for students to achieve success in the IB. 'IB requires students to know two languages while Hong Kong attaches great importance to Chinese and English since preschool. Students have been growing up in a bilingual environment and that makes their language proficiency up to IB's standard,' she said. Chong said Hong Kong parents gave strong support to children's academic performance and would try their best to address their study needs. Hong Kong's top or near-perfect scorers represent nearly 10 per cent of top achievers globally. Photo: Edmond So Belinda Ng, the IB coordinator for St Paul's Co-educational College, also said Hong Kong parents' support was essential to students' success. 'To some extent, I think it is because the parents take children's studies seriously; they spend plenty of time and resources to help their kids, like arranging tutorial classes and extracurricular activities in their early years,' she said. 'Parents want them to perform well at the starting line and parenting plays a very important role in their studies.' IB director general Olli-Pekka Heinonen said that this year's results inspired him. 'I'm inspired by the dedication, resilience, and compassion shown by IB students during such a complex time in the world,' he said. 'As IB graduates move forward – into higher education, careers or service to their communities – they carry with them the competencies, values and global mindset needed to thrive and make a meaningful difference. 'IB graduates leave not only with knowledge, but also with the perspective and purpose to lead, serve, and shape a better world.' The IB programme is a pre-university pathway and an internationally recognised curriculum, like its counterpart, the A-levels, which are more subject-specific. Apart from the ESF, the German Swiss International School and Victoria Shanghai Academy each had five top scorers. The Diocesan Boys' School had three. The Canadian International School of Hong Kong and Po Leung Kuk Ngan Po Ling College each had two of the city's top scorers. Singapore International School in Hong Kong, the Independent Schools Foundation Academy, Malvern College Hong Kong, Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School and St Paul's Co-educational College each had one pupil achieving 45 points.
