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 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 […]

Hong Kong Inter-School City Nature Challenge (HKISCNC)

When I first heard about the Hong Kong Inter-School City Nature Challenge, I felt very eager to learn about the biodiversity around us. I thought that this was an enriching experience to allow us to look at biology from a different perspective, instead of learning in an enclosed environment. As someone who enjoys photography, my first thought was that not only was this was going to be fun, it was also going to help enhance my creativity. On the 6th […]

S3 Camp: Our Experience

The S3’s started their morning at 8am, meeting at central ferry pier. We traveled to and from camp by ferry with a great landscape of Central. The boat was very breezy but a calming journey with the anticipation of arrival upon us all. The camp location: Cheung Chau, a small island with beaches, temples and impressive scenery. The peaceful island is where we can connect with nature, away from city life. Through urbanization, parts of Cheung Chau are modernized (food […]

Netball U20 Girls Team

This year I had the privilege of being the Captain of the U20 Girls Netball team again. Some might say we ended the season empty handed, but I digress, as our team has been through thick and thin. We have stepped away from this season not just with a greater aptitude for the technical skill and physical standards that netball demands, but also a greater understanding of each other, and ourselves. As a passionate netball player, I have grown to […]
