ABOUT INDIEFLIX FOUNDATION
The IndieFlix Foundation holds a unique place at the intersection of donors who want to inspire global change, and creative filmmakers who tell powerful stories that can unite and transform communities. By funding films that inspire social change and positive action, the Foundation supports documentaries that are screened in schools, groups and organizations. This brings communities together to watch films, sitting side-by-side, and allows conversations to begin. Recent documentaries include “Finding Kind, about bullying, “The Empowerment Project”, which addresses female empowerment, and “Screenagers” which delves into the impacts of social networking and increased screen time. Powered by donations, the IndieFlix Foundation’s cause-based content targets ages nine and up.
Vive la dictée !
Memorising a technical text between 120 & 250 words , with challenging vocabulary, syntax and grammar aspects were what some of our SIS students chose to compete for at this year’s Hong Kong Schools’ French Spelling Competition.
Some of our super students in Years 8 and 9 participated in the event in April of this year. They were required to memorise a technical text in French and to re spell it on the spot as it was being read by a French native speaker, undoubtedly a nerve-racking undertaking for them. The strict assessment criteria included credit for their engaged listening of the text being read, their accurate spelling and tremendous memory.
Our students performed successfully with scores reaching between 74 and 93 % and notable mention is extended to Chloe Kong and Hailey Ho (Y8), Maddy Yates (Y9), who gave commendable performances, with accurate spelling and punctuation.
The event brought together various Hong Kong schools and tough competitors such as French International School, YMCA Christian College, Harrow International School, St Paul’s Covent School, La Salle College, and helped to make links with the wider French community. It has allowed our students to showcase their knowledge of the French language and to perform in a foreign language for which they will receive a very special Certificate. Ultimately, it has also provided new experiences and unforgettable memories for our students.
Un grand Bravo à tous!
