We wanted to give you a better insight into the work of SPW Careers in schools. Therefore over the next year we will begin to introduce you to some of the many schools we support. Here we start with Harrow School in Hong Kong:
Harrow School Hong Kong, was founded in 2012, it upholds Harrow’s tradition of academic excellence and character development while embracing the cultural diversity and dynamism of its host city. With a focus on holistic education, Harrow School Hong Kong offers a rigorous academic curriculum combined with a wide range of co-curricular activities to nurture well-rounded individuals. Through its commitment to excellence and innovation, Harrow School Hong Kong prepares its students to succeed in an ever-changing global landscape.
SPW Careers have supported the work of the university/careers team in Harrow Hong Kong for several years. Until recently this involved an annual visit to the school in delivering 1-1 careers guidance interviews to students in 5th (Yr. 11 / Grade 10) through to the end of school. Most of our work is now online as we continue to support students with careers profiling and 1-1 interviews. The school also benefits from our continued support and resources, which include country study in guides, lesson plans, etc.

“All my questions about the future & universities were answered and explained in depth. I feel more confident with my choices now. Thankyou”
“This experience has helped me realise not only the potential I have currently, but also the range of opportunities I have later in the future”.
“The follow up discussion, in my opinion, was extremely useful and extremely clear in how I should go about my career choices”.
“I think it provided a way to explore my future choices and possibilities. The test was a nice touch which helped me to see my strengths and weaknesses. The talk with the careers adviser cleared up my queries about future careers and subjects”.
“After my first interview/discussion I am now feeling a lot more confident with what I would like to do in the future. I have found the overall experience extremely useful”.
“My overall experience was really positive. I was very unsure of my future careers but with the personal report and talk it is starting to become clearer and narrow it down”.
