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 […]

Co-President of Community Council Maeve Wong

Growing up, I’ve always been taught to be compassionate and kind, and to give back to society because it has given me so much. It’s because of this strong sense of duty to our society that I decided to start small when I first entered the secondary section of SISHK by joining the Community Council. Having been part of the Community Council since Secondary 1, my experience has been one that is filled with its highs and lows. There were […]

Singapore Holiday Immersion Programme 2018

From the 9th to 20th of July 2018, I had the opportunity to participate in the Singapore Holiday Immersion Programme 2018 (SHIP). This was my first time participating in SHIP, and my second time visiting Singapore. For two weeks, I attended lessons at CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School with an Integrated Programme (IP) class. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming and willing to answer my questions about their school and daily lives. I noticed many interesting differences between our school and […]

Police Touch

On the 22 of September, 5 students from the secondary school went to the Police College for their annual Police Touch Open Day Program, where we got a good look inside the campus where cadets train to become Hong Kong’s police officers. Our first stop was at the marching grounds that the cadets would routinely march on, so much so that there were marks left on the ground by their footsteps. The cadets called them “泪痕”, in translation, tear marks, […]

Summer Internship Reflection

During the two weeks of internship at the farm belonging to Yi O Agricultural Cooperation, I learned a great deal about farming and the environment, also about myself and how I react to unfamiliar situations. Regarding the experience of working on a farm, I came to notice and learn about the environment by listening to the other workers and simply by interacting with the environment each day. To name but a few, I saw how the extra warm summer this year […]
