Issue No. 12 (19 March 2021)

We are glad to announce that  International Evening 2021 will be hosted as a live-stream on the SIS YouTube Channel HERE on the 19th of March at 7 PM! 

International Evening is an annual event whereby we celebrate the diverse cultures here at SIS. Our theme this year is ‘KALEIDOSCOPE’- we believe our community is multicultural as are kaleidoscopes multi-coloured. 

We have EIGHT outstanding musical performances, seven of which are from our students and one in which is a collaborative performance with the Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong (ADAHK). During the event, you will be able to donate to ADAHK through the donation site (which will be activated on the day) or donate via the school website HERE. 

Year 7 would like to show their support for ‘International Women’s Day, Monday, March 8th. They choose to challenge inequality by raising their right hand to support women’s rights in our world. (UN sustainable goal #5 ‘Gender Equality and empower all women and girls).

The Students were asked to use the knife skills they learned, to produce a fruit salad or fruit animal at home. They had to consider the presentation of their dish to encourage young children to eat more fruit. They all did a fruitastic job.

Let’s celebrate our new champions Y9 Amaanat Rekhi (2nd Runner up) & Y7 Agastya Rekhi (1st runner up) who conquered the French judges at this year’s French Speech Competition which took place online. 

Agastya’s and Ammanat’s enthusiasm, determination, and talents for the French language are bringing hope, energy, and great inspiration during our distance learning phase and they have both demonstrated that language learning and participation beyond the classroom can still take place even during a pandemic crisis.

UN GRAND BRAVO!

Year 9 Media students have recently completed their Advertising unit. The class voted for two of the best examples of student work as nominations for the Best Year 9 Advert award in the SIS Film Awards 2021. All work was completed at home during online learning.
