The quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.” is very relevant to our U14 basketball season. We had a roller coaster season full of highs and lows where we faced challenges from many schools, put in our best effort in each game and yet lost most of the matches. But in my opinion, our team has benefitted the most out of this experience. After each match, […]
I had a great experience as a member of the U14G basketball team this year. I think that our team did a good job overall and shared some enjoyable moments this season. Although most of us lacked skill and experience, we managed to work well together as a team and improve over the season as we were one point away from the semi-finals. We spent a lot of time training together and got to know each other pretty well. We […]
This year the u16 girls’ basketball team competed in the ISSFHK 1819 basketball tournament and achieved second place in the silver division. This article outlines the challenges the team faced throughout the season, as well as how they overcame their fears/ obstacles. Firstly, we would like to highlight the positive mindset and the passion for basketball all team members had towards trainings and games. Instead of solely focusing on results of games, players prioritized the implementation and execution of strategies […]
Building on our experiences from the primary section, we were excited to have Drama CCA at the secondary section this year. Drama is a powerful platform, a form of self-expression that connects us all. Power lies in the stories we tell, and everyone has a story of their own, unique and defined, a voice inside of them. It was important to us that the voice of the students was expressed through this artistic form, creative and unbounded, weaving together talents […]
This past 3 weeks, I have been in Cyprus competing in the Optimist World Championship. In total, 264 boats competed in the championship. The weather in Limassol, Cyprus was sunny with minimal clouds and temperatures that ranged between 25 and 35 degrees. I went with the Hong Kong team who consisted of the top 5 Hong Kong sailors. In the first three days in the competition, we completed the qualifying series, which determined which final fleet I would be in. […]
Winning sports day for the third year in a row was an extraordinary feat. Our house is definitely not the biggest house in the school, so to win and by such a wide margin serves as a testimony for our house spirit and enthusiasm. We are so proud of our house and all that we have managed to achieve together. Many of the people who ran in our house on that day were not in their best physical form but […]
Speaking on behalf of the S1 and S2 cohort, I have to say that many of us were disappointed that the familiar and long-awaited WOW trip was canceled this year. But in turn, we were given another opportunity for learning to seize: the brand-new WoL programme. At first glance, I was apprehensive about my reaction to the WoL programme. However, keeping an open mind, I was prepared to experience it before passing judgement. We can break down the WoL learning […]

The aim of the exhibition was to showcase our students’ artwork and celebrated their art achievements. The title was chosen as all artworks start from a point of reference, the outcome is determined […]
On 26 March, students, parents and staff at SISHK were introduced to Joey, the equine star of the award-winning play, Warhorse. Based on the best-selling novel by Michael Morpurgo, Warhorse tells the story of one horse’s experiences in the First World War. Morpurgo himself never believed his story could be staged. How, after all, could Joey, who is practically the show’s star, be brought to life on stage? But the cast of Warhorse and especially the Handspring Puppet Company of […]
