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 her days as a Chief Scout and HKAYP leader alongside her brother Ashley to working with the BBC on David Attenborough’s Asia series, Marie’s journey as a wildlife photographer has been nothing short of inspiring.

It was chosen from over 65,000 entries worldwide as one of the top 100 images in the 62nd Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition! 🏆

Over two unforgettable nights, our South Island School Drama students brought Sarah Ruhl’s award-winning Eurydice to life in Drama Studio 1, delivering hauntingly beautiful performances on both Wednesday and Thursday evening.

Told through the eyes of its heroine, this whimsical reimagining of the classic Orpheus myth transformed Drama Studio 1 into an intimate, immersive Underworld where wonder and grief shared the stage. From powerful acting that drew deep emotional responses to a stunning, creative set design, our student cast and crew poured immense heart into every single moment across both sold-out shows.

Eurydice left us with a moving reminder: cherish your memories, for what we hold close can comfort us and change us long after everything else is gone.

A massive congratulations to the extraordinary cast, crew, and Drama department on a spectacular two-night run! 👏✨

Huge congratulations to former South Island School student Marie Bell on an extraordinary achievement! 📸✨

From her days as a Chief Scout and HKAYP leader alongside her brother Ashley to working with the BBC on David Attenborough’s Asia series, Marie’s journey as a wildlife photographer has been nothing short of inspiring.

Her striking photograph, “Urban Architect”—captured during the production of the upcoming film Wild Taipei (野性台北)—features a Formosan blue magpie carrying a metal coat hanger to build its nest. It was chosen from over 65,000 entries worldwide as one of the top 100 images in the 62nd Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition! 🏆

📍 Marie’s winning photograph is currently on display at the Natural History Museum in London. We couldn’t be prouder!

Over two unforgettable nights, our South Island School Drama students brought Sarah Ruhl’s award-winning Eurydice to life in Drama Studio 1, delivering hauntingly beautiful performances on both Wednesday and Thursday evening.

Told through the eyes of its heroine, this whimsical reimagining of the classic Orpheus myth transformed Drama Studio 1 into an intimate, immersive Underworld where wonder and grief shared the stage. From powerful acting that drew deep emotional responses to a stunning, creative set design, our student cast and crew poured immense heart into every single moment across both sold-out shows.

Eurydice left us with a moving reminder: cherish your memories, for what we hold close can comfort us and change us long after everything else is gone.

A massive congratulations to the extraordinary cast, crew, and Drama department on a spectacular two-night run! 👏✨

A huge THANK YOU to all our students and staff who joined in for Mental Health Awareness Week! 💚

Organised by our Wellbeing Council, it was a week full of connection, creativity, and self-care across SIS:

✨ Kickstarting the week with fidget toy drops

✨ Exploring resources at the Wellness Fair

✨ Getting creative with air-dry clay magnets

✨ Unwinding during our nap & recharge session

✨ Ending on a sweet note today with treats & self-care tips!

While the official events have wrapped up, looking after our mental health is an everyday priority. Let’s keep prioritizing self-care, looking out for one another, and taking time to recharge.
