Over 80 students completed their first Bronze training expedition on 25 to 26 October. We had three simultaneous camps running with 55 Year 10s based at Pak Sha O; another 29 were with Outward Bound and seven new Silvers were camping at Pak Tam Au.
We also had five Year 13 Silver/Gold assistants and 23 teachers. Students were able to learn and practise key expedition skills such as navigation, cooking, first aid and pitching tents. We were blessed with some good weather, which helped make a really successful trip for all involved.
NIGHTFEST is approaching…….. Mark your diary for 22 NOVEMBER!
We still need lots of volunteers to put things together and your participation to make this a successful event. For those who have already signed up as volunteers and for food donations we will contact you soon. It is never too late to sign up as volunteers: please CLICK HERE to sign-up.
We look forward to your involvement and support for this event.
The Boys’ and Girls’ Cross-Country teams took on the challenging Fanling golf course again this year in the HKSSF Division 1 competition. Against some very talented opposing athletes, there were some outstanding runs from South Island School students. In the C grade competition, Tessa Schraven and Leo Doyle both finished 10th out of over 110 runners. Dominic Davidson finished 5th in the B grade category, whilst the B Grade Boys’ and Girls’ teams had strong 6th places finishes overall. Congratulations to everyone who ran this year, and we look forward to the upcoming ISSFHK competition in January.
The South Island School Boys Swimming Team achieved a number of successes in a very competitive HKSSF competition in October. There were some outstanding performers, with Ian Mok, Parish Lai and Taka Leong all claiming gold medals in their events. There were plenty of silver and bronze medals as well, with Josh Wang, Justin Kim, Spencer Penman, Boet van den Heuvel and Henry Chy all swimming superbly in their individual finals. The relay teams claimed medals as well, resulting in the team finishing an excellent third overall. Congratulations to all the boys who competed for the school, producing one of the best team performances in years.
The SIS Chinese Debate Team have been rocking recent competitions! They have won the last three competitions and are looking to be very competitive in this year’s championship. The following debaters have been doing an absolutely fantastic job and deserve great credit: Michael Dai, Yani Yang, Anson Li, Perrin Chang, Timothy So, Jabez Cheng, Fergus Chan, Adrian Ip and Nathaniel Wong. Well done to all!
