President of Student Council Justine Chan

Justine Chan (President of Student Council)

I started my leadership journey here at SISHK in S1, as a wide-eyed student councillor. I vividly remember my first Student Council meeting: it was a Wednesday lunchtime, with the cool air of autumn permeating every classroom, and I recall feeling nervous and unsure of myself as I walked into the 405 meeting room. We were asked to introduce ourselves, and why we’d run; shakily I stood up and mumbled something along the lines of “helping to make the school […]

Head of Marshall House Yoges Yew

My leadership journey in Singapore International School (Hong Kong) started back in Secondary One, when I joined the Athletic Council, without knowing what an adventure this experience will turn out to be! I stayed in that council for three years, allowing myself to meet and mingle with people in the different grades as I began to learn more about myself and what kind of leader I aspired to be. In Secondary Three, I entered the Audio Visual Committee for two […]

Head of Zubir Said House Zoe Schlossmacher

I started my leadership journey as the Vice President for the Leadership Action Committee (LAC) back in March 2017 as a very small and humble Secondary 3 student. This feels like a long time ago but is only just over a year and a half back. Through my time in that position, I felt more connected to the school and had a drive and a want to do more for the school, which resulted in me running to be the […]

President of Athletic Council Kaitlyn Shi

Through many years as a student at SISHK, I think I’ve grown a lot as a leader. From having minor roles in the primary section such as being a class and school monitor, I progressed to being a prefect and then a member of the Athletic Council (AC). My teachers and schoolmates have guided me to learn from my mistakes and shortcomings, inspiring me to strive to be a better leader. I have constantly been encouraged to keep growing with […]

Head of Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) House Andrea Lam

Being the new Head of House of Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) would be my very first official leadership experience, after pretty much sitting on the sidelines as a follower throughout my school life, I decided that it was time to give back, and contribute to the school community. LKY house has been a big part of my secondary school experience, and that was always because of great and inspirational leadership from the previous Heads of Houses. Now, taking on this […]

Head of House of Marshall Aradhana Upadhyay

My leadership journey in SISHK began as the captain of the U14 girls volleyball team. Young, apprehensive and very inexperienced, I let my emotions cloud my judgement and I was not a very good leader. Fast forward to Sec 4, I was selected once again to lead the U16 volleyball team. Even though I was older, I realised I had a lot to learn. I remember being very pessimistic after losing nearly every game, but I also remember my seniors […]

Netball CCA

As we spy our opponents warming up, anxiety and nervous anticipation spread through my body, knowing that our opponents are more experienced, stronger and faster compared to us. However, once the piercing sound of the whistle is heard, adrenaline always rushes through my veins and the queasy feeling evaporates. I witness the energy and enthusiasm of our teammates motivating one another to persevere despite our exhaustion, developing tenacity in our characters. Trainings have been intense, yet fun and rewarding. We […]

sCAMPering Around Hong Kong

Three days of adventures and activities, a lifetime of friendships and memories… From 24-26 October 2018, the Secondary 4 cohort participated in a camp planned and organised entirely by a committee of S4 students – led by Tyrus Yeo (S4S), Chloe Long (S4R), and our Year Head, Ms Louisa Or. Although the three days and two nights was a brief escape from the grim reality of our looming IGCSEs, the time we spent scampering around Hong Kong, cooking and washing […]

Volleyball U16 Girls Reflection

Throughout the season, we have had the privilege of watching and supporting the growth of the U16G Volleyball Team. We started off as a hodgepodge of talents and experience: a jumble of patchwork hastily pasted together. During training, we fumbled as we tried to dodge one another’s footsteps, crashing and colliding onto the floor. It was the basics that were the most important, and the basics that were the hardest to learn. “Be confident in yourself, then you can perform […]
