An exciting build up with a thrilling finish. Zubir Said won the sports day cup for a third time in a row setting new standards and entering the record books. Taking it all back, the whole planning for the March events, Sports Heat and Sports Day, starts back in January when all four houses begin to sign up their competitors. S1 and S2 compete in PE lessons to find out their track and field events, while S3-DP2 use prior knowledge […]
After the rigorous training season in the ISSFHK Basketball League, our U12 Basketball Boys Team secured a place in the Finals. The boys went out to compete in the Finals and after a close game, they achieved the second place. Though we did not win the championship, this has been the best result for our U12 Basketball Team in the history of SISHK! Our boys showed great determination, resilliense and ability to reach their goal despite the hardships. They stayed […]
I am Fu Yat Tsing from S2M, Co-Captain of the U14 girls volleyball team. Over the volleyball competition season, the U14 volleyball team has definitely come a long way since when we first started. Many of the players from the previous year had left the co-curricular activities (CCA) and we had to coach many new players moving up from the primary section even though we ourselves were not confident in our volleyball skill level. This caused us to worry at first […]
Through hard work and commitment, the team has successfully combatted its struggles in various areas of the sport. From the standard serve to the jump serve, each and everyone’s immaculate calculations and practice have allowed him to improve and achieve a status that is higher than that of who he was when he first arrived. It has truly been an amazing journey with everyone, though this is not the “picture perfect ending” that we all hoped for, we recognize the […]
Success – what is it? Is it coming first place in the championship? Or achieving the top grade in every test? Or bouncing back from failure after failure? Our greatest takeaway from our season was not volleyball skills – it was the development of our mentality and attitude. This season, just like all the previous ones, has brought about daunting challenges, tremendous exhilaration and colourful memories that will be cherished for the rest of our lives. The U20 Boys wrote […]
In the 9 years that I’ve been in the table tennis team at SISHK, this has been by far the most memorable season. The level of commitment, dedication, and passion shown by our team this year was unparalleled with anything that I had ever experienced before. After sweeping through the group stage in the previous year, we suffered an agonising defeat in the round of 16 – much to the dismay of our coach, who described our performance well beneath […]
Zubir Said – Megan Chen and Zoe Schlossmacher How did you prepare the house for this year’s swim meet? Some of our experienced and more talented swimmers were called upon to help; Jayden Lim from DP1 and Alison Yip from DP2. The training sessions helped some student revisit techniques and opportunity to gain some feedback to improve. We also made sure we had zero empty lanes so as to ensure we had 100% participation. Plus, we ensured everyone was comfortable […]
This year I had the privilege of being the Captain of the U20 Girls Netball team again. Some might say we ended the season empty handed, but I digress, as our team has been through thick and thin. We have stepped away from this season not just with a greater aptitude for the technical skill and physical standards that netball demands, but also a greater understanding of each other, and ourselves. As a passionate netball player, I have grown to […]
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 […]
