Volleyball U14 Girls Co-Captain’s Reflections

I am Fu Yat Tsing from S2M, Co-Captain of the U14 girls volleyball team. Over the volleyball competition season, the U14 volleyball team has definitely come a long way since when we first started. Many of the players from the previous year had left the co-curricular activities (CCA) and we had to coach many new players moving up from the primary section even though we ourselves were not confident in our volleyball skill level. This caused us to worry at first […]

Head of Zubir Said House Megan Chan

My leadership journey in school started when I was a timid S1 girl. I decided to run for the Community Council and I had to give a speech in front of the whole grade. I remember freezing up on stage and completely messing up my speech, but I also remember my house leader coming up to me and encouraging me. My house leader gave me hope and made me feel supported. I never want to forget that feeling I had. […]

AY1819 Secondary 1 camp

An activity that played around with our limits, making us scream with both happiness and disgust, the S1 camp would easily pass as one of the most memorable moments in this academic year. On the morning of the 24th of October, everyone bustled about with friends excited for camp, some were talking about the hike to the campsite, some were complaining about their groups and some were just clustered together chatting. Finally, when we gathered in our groups, everyone seemed […]

Singapore International Math Olympiad Challenge (SIMOC) and International Junior Math Olympiad (IJMO)

During the last summer break, I had the privilege of participating in the Singapore International Math Olympiad Challenge (SIMOC). This year’s SIMOC was conveniently scheduled right before the Singapore Holiday Immersion Programme (SHIP). Therefore, I stayed in Singapore for two weeks to attend both programs. The SIMOC was a whole day competition starting from 7am until 5pm. Over 1000 students from 16 countries participated. The competition consisted of 3 parts. I felt most confident with the first part, which was […]

Volleyball U14 Boys Team

A season full of expectations; playing in the gold division was a step up from the last academic year and a welcomed but anticipated challenge. Training began at the start of the new school year with games starting the week after. This meant the team had to be ready. Some new strategies and skills were introduced and the team got off to a flying start winning their first game. However this couldn’t be replicated again and no more wins were […]

Volleyball U16 Boys Team

Through hard work and commitment, the team has successfully combatted its struggles in various areas of the sport. From the standard serve to the jump serve, each and everyone’s immaculate calculations and practice have allowed him to improve and achieve a status that is higher than that of who he was when he first arrived. It has truly been an amazing journey with everyone, though this is not the “picture perfect ending” that we all hoped for, we recognize the […]

Volleyball U20 Boys Team

Success – what is it? Is it coming first place in the championship? Or achieving the top grade in every test? Or bouncing back from failure after failure? Our greatest takeaway from our season was not volleyball skills – it was the development of our mentality and attitude. This season, just like all the previous ones, has brought about daunting challenges, tremendous exhilaration and colourful memories that will be cherished for the rest of our lives. The U20 Boys wrote […]

Competitive Table Tennis CCA- HKSSF- Division 3-A Grade Boys Competition

In the 9 years that I’ve been in the table tennis team at SISHK, this has been by far the most memorable season. The level of commitment, dedication, and passion shown by our team this year was unparalleled with anything that I had ever experienced before. After sweeping through the group stage in the previous year, we suffered an agonising defeat in the round of 16 – much to the dismay of our coach, who described our performance well beneath […]

Swim Meet

Zubir Said – Megan Chen and Zoe Schlossmacher How did you prepare the house for this year’s swim meet? Some of our experienced and more talented swimmers were called upon to help; Jayden Lim from DP1 and Alison Yip from DP2. The training sessions helped some student revisit techniques and opportunity to gain some feedback to improve. We also made sure we had zero empty lanes so as to ensure we had 100% participation. Plus, we ensured everyone was comfortable […]
