Operating Principles

The endeavors of the HKPI are to be guided by the following underlying principles:

1.    Professional autonomy

The HKPI will maintain professional autonomy.

Its decisions will be made collectively by members. Through members’ active participation in various sub-committees and involvement in the delivery of programs, the HKPI will operate with transparency and input from members.

2.    Accountability and sustainability

The HKPI is to be accountable to the profession and the larger community and thus to support its members in their endeavors to serve their school stakeholders in a responsible manner. It will seek sustainability in its operation and development.  The governance, resources and funding of the PI will follow sound management principles.

3.    Collegiality, collaboration and partnership

The HKPI will abide by the principles of collegiality, collaboration and partnership in all its dealings including professional development programs and practices.

Interim Organization and Functions

The HKPI is a self-funded charitable institution. It welcomes and invites participation of all Hong Kong principals (whether serving, retired and former) and vice-principals of kindergarten, primary, secondary and special schools in all its events, programs and committee work. It is initially run by a management committee.

Its activities include running mentoring programs for new principals, sharing seminars, professional programs and conferences for principals and vice-principals, carrying out research, and issuing publications and newsletters.

To sustain its operation, the HKPI may collect publication subscription fees and program or conference fees when appropriate, and it also welcomes donations and sponsorship.
