我對於因疏忽而未能盡快結束名下一間已停止運作的顧問公司，以致去年漏報有關資料，謹向公眾致以萬二分歉意。

校董會/法團校董會身為學校的管理層及其屬下教職員的僱主，有責任就學校及其員工接受利益和捐贈事宜，制定政策及為員工提供清晰指引，確保在學校收生、招聘及擢升員工、採購物品和服務，以及甄選承辦商等學校行政事務上，廉潔治校。
校董會/法團校董會必須緊記學校對青少年的影響力，除以身作則，推動學校廉潔風尚外，應確保個別教職員及校方整體上不會有任何行為或處事不當之嫌。
社會人士期望校董、教師及職員具有高度的廉潔操守。

The School Management Committees (SMCs) /Incorporated Management Committees (IMCs) as the managers and employers of their teaching and non-teaching staff, have the responsibility to formulate policies and issue clear guidelines for their schools and staff on the acceptance of advantages and donations. SMCs/IMCs should ensure that their schools are being managed and operated in a fair and just way by implementing proper policies in administration areas including student admission, appointment and promotion of staff, purchase of goods/services, and selection of suppliers/contractors.
As schools have a strong influence on young people, the SMCs/IMCs should set themselves as role models. They should promote a fair and just atmosphere in schools and should also ensure that their schools and staff are in every way above suspicion of doubtful practice.
School managers, teachers and staff are expected to have a high standard of integrity by members of public.
