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 […]
by Arthur Liu Ze An (DP1B) and Kristy Chan Tin Wing (S4R) It has been a demanding but fully fruitful year for the Community Council – not only have we completed some of our largest events successfully and smoothly, but we have gone beyond our previous achievements to build a bigger, better, and brighter reputation for the Council. One of our first events was the annual beach clean-up that the Council has made a tradition of over the past […]
by Wang Jiamu, P4D; Sim Sharon, P5C and Yuen Sherrie, P6Y What is Spirit Week about at SISHK? It’s a week-long event where many students and staff come dressed in creative designs in the various themes suggested by the prefects. Spirit Week aims to cultivate a culture of togetherness and unity through dressing up together. We started the event with the highly popular Twins Day! Everyone tried to look and act completely the same as their twin. It was surely […]

One of the LAC’s biggest accomplishments is launching — in conjunction with the Humanities department — the Human Rights Month, […]
