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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The day started with a dull and lengthy bus ride to school. My friend and I scampered down to the gym at half past eight on the dot. We lined up excitedly into our grade levels wondering what the day would bring. The teachers started the day with the question, ”Can anyone think what’s going to happen today?’’ The question swirled around in my head as I pondered the question. The teachers passed the microphone around the gym and many […]
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 […]
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, […]
by Choi Yan Lun Iris (S4R) and Shi Xin Ying Kaitlyn (S4M) Since the last update, the Athletic Council has held a number of events such as sign-up table tennis and badminton, and interclass games such as kickball and capture the flag. In addition to traditional sports and games, we organised a schoolwide Sports Quiz regarding sports trivia with questions such as locations of the next Olympic Games or what foods are a good source of energy. This has allowed […]
by Goh Zhuo Lin (S3L) The Leadership Action Committee (LAC) has completed its second year together, and we have accomplished a great deal. Over the past year, the LAC has been responsible for updating the house banners, located in the 4/F Plaza, which are done every week after an event has taken place. The LAC created several different customized symbols for events such as the AC Badminton, DEAR, S2 Benchball and many more to record the number of house […]
