| Description | Annual issues of the school magazine of St Andrew's Primary School, Hong Kong. The magazines are an example of the type of work that was being carried out at the school. The approach to education at the school aimed to bring the parents of the school children into a closer interaction with the school. The philosophy of the school adopted a more strucutred yet progressive curriculum and was introduced by the headteacher David Aubin (1974-1978) who arrived in Hong Kong from a headship in Southampton. He was supported by Barrie Jefferson (deputy head) and Carys Gravell (Head of Infants). In particular sports and musical productions featured heavily in the children's work.
