Governance
The governance structure of ESF was substantially changed after the ESF Ordinance (Amendment) Bill was passed by the Legislative Council. A 26-member Board of Governors has now been introduced to replace the previous structure of an Executive Committee and a 130-member Foundation.
The Board of Governors includes independent members, directly elected parent members and representatives from standing committees. The membership of the Board is as follows:
| Independent members | |
|---|---|
| Mr Peter Clarke | |
| Ms Sophia Kao | |
| Dr Kim Mak | |
| Prof Felice Lieh Mak | |
| Mr Samuel Poon | |
| Mr Markus Shaw | |
| Mr Kevin Taylor | |
| Representatives of the Committee of School Council Chairmen | Mr Gordon Lamb |
| Mr Bill Sharp | |
| Ms Virginia Wilson | |
| Directly elected parent members | Mr Nicholas Bilcliffe |
| Mr Mark Clifford | |
| Dr Neil Drave | |
| Ms Elaine Leung | |

| Representatives of the Committee of Teachers | Mr Gilbert Halcrow |
| Ms Vanessa Mansfield | |
| Representative of the Committee of Support Staff | Mike Draeger |
| Chief Executive Officer (ex officio) | Mrs Heather Du Quesnay |
There are also standing committees for Remuneration, Audit and Finance. Each of our schools has a Council which comprises a Chairman and representatives of parents, teachers, support staff and the wider community, as well as the Chief Executive’s representative. The relationship between these different bodies is represented in this diagram:
