Mr. and Ms. Wally, our Secondary English teachers, together with our students, celebrated World Book Day. They immersed themselves in a range of engaging activities, including the delightfully quirky “AbSuRd ReAdinG!” experience and showcasing their creativity by dressing up as their favourite book characters. They also enjoyed a bracelet-making activity and participated in the spirited competition of “Humanagram,” which added an element of teamwork and fun to the celebration. The event fostered a deep appreciation for literature.

Ashley Koh (S1L) and Yuxuan Meng (S1L) This year’s reading week was my first at SIS, and it was definitely a fun one! At the start of the week, during Teacher Dress Up, teachers from the English Department of SISHK dressed up as characters from books and students were tasked with guessing who dressed up as what, and from what book. Some of the ones we saw were Mary Poppins, Geronimo Stilton and Miss Havisham. That lunchtime, the Treasure Hunt […]
