My time at SIS has been a memorable one. Whether I was learning in class, hanging around my tutor room during break, or even going on field trips outside of school, being around my cohort and teachers ensured that my dull experiences were far and few in-betwwen. SIS has been responsible for a wonderful and irreplaceable 7 years of my life, memories which will stay with me for many more years to come; and I hope that everyone else who graduates from this school will be capable of willingly and wholeheartedly saying the same thing.

6 years in SIS has been a blast. The South Island has given me many memories that I will treasure deeply for the rest of my life... B-ball, AYP, pedal kart, Friday football... I would like to say a BIG thank you to my family, friends and all the teachers especially to Mr Moore. I'm truly grateful. It has been a long, tough ride and I couldn't have made it through without any of YOU.

Words cannot express my appreciation to the people that have had an impact on me during my 7 years here at SIS. I would like to pay tribute to my teachers who realize that life is like a football match; I will never progress in life if I am unwilling to take chances and accept my failures as constructive lessons. Reflecting on my experiences at SIS, it will equip me well for any obstacles I encounter in the future.

From the adrenaline of bubble soccer and giant inflatables in the sports hall to the spine-chilling screams in the Haunted House, the energy was off the charts! 📈

We ate our way around the world at the food stalls, cooled down with the ice cream truck, and sipped on those iconic glowing mocktails while cheering on our talented student performers. 🎤🍹

Shoutout to our Houses for the epic game stalls and everyone who stopped by the bazaar and photo booth. This could have never happened without the incredible dedication and hard work from our PTA, staff and students involved in the preparations of SIS Fest!

It was an immense privilege for South Island School to host the Hong Kong UN Holocaust Memorial Day Ceremony, on behalf of The Hong Kong Holocaust and Tolerance Centre. We welcomed many Consul Generals, government representatives, teachers and students from across Hong Kong to the event.

27th January is World Holocaust Memorial Day which honours the memory of the six million Jewish people and other groups murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945.

We were honoured to listen to Ms Larisa Cain, a 93-year-old survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto. Larisa travelled from her home in Paris to share her story at the event. This was an invaluable and rare opportunity to listen first hand to someone who survived this traumatic period in history. By remembering the Holocaust, we are showing a commitment to counter antisemitism and all forms of racism and intolerance.

The SIS student musical performances were deeply moving. It was inspiring that so many students from schools across Hong Kong took part. The South Island Prefects who helped at the event are a credit to our school and we are grateful for their leadership.

A huge welcome to the Year 6 students from Bradbury and Quarry Bay School who joined us this week for Y6 Tasters! 🏫 Our visiting students dived headfirst into life at South Island School, starting their day with an energetic morning assembly packed with fun activities to kick off the excitement.

Throughout the event, they explored our campus and attended a variety of classes across different subjects and disciplines, giving them a real feel for the academic journey ahead. 📚 They also got active in PE and enjoyed refueling with delicious food from our refectory and cafes, catching a glimpse of daily life during break times. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm from our visitors, and we look forward to supporting these students as they continue their journey toward high school! 🌟

SIS Fest 2026 was officially ONE FOR THE BOOKS! 🎡✨

From the adrenaline of bubble soccer and giant inflatables in the sports hall to the spine-chilling screams in the Haunted House, the energy was off the charts! 📈

We ate our way around the world at the food stalls, cooled down with the ice cream truck, and sipped on those iconic glowing mocktails while cheering on our talented student performers. 🎤🍹

Shoutout to our Houses for the epic game stalls and everyone who stopped by the bazaar and photo booth. This could have never happened without the incredible dedication and hard work from our PTA, staff and students involved in the preparations of SIS Fest!

It was an immense privilege for South Island School to host the Hong Kong UN Holocaust Memorial Day Ceremony, on behalf of The Hong Kong Holocaust and Tolerance Centre. We welcomed many Consul Generals, government representatives, teachers and students from across Hong Kong to the event.

27th January is World Holocaust Memorial Day which honours the memory of the six million Jewish people and other groups murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945.

We were honoured to listen to Ms Larisa Cain, a 93-year-old survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto. Larisa travelled from her home in Paris to share her story at the event. This was an invaluable and rare opportunity to listen first hand to someone who survived this traumatic period in history. By remembering the Holocaust, we are showing a commitment to counter antisemitism and all forms of racism and intolerance.

The SIS student musical performances were deeply moving. It was inspiring that so many students from schools across Hong Kong took part. The South Island Prefects who helped at the event are a credit to our school and we are grateful for their leadership.

A huge welcome to the Year 6 students from Bradbury and Quarry Bay School who joined us this week for Y6 Tasters! 🏫 Our visiting students dived headfirst into life at South Island School, starting their day with an energetic morning assembly packed with fun activities to kick off the excitement.

Throughout the event, they explored our campus and attended a variety of classes across different subjects and disciplines, giving them a real feel for the academic journey ahead. 📚 They also got active in PE and enjoyed refueling with delicious food from our refectory and cafes, catching a glimpse of daily life during break times. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm from our visitors, and we look forward to supporting these students as they continue their journey toward high school! 🌟
