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.

Huge congratulations to our recent Y13 graduate, Chaemin Jun, for an absolutely legendary performance on the track! Chaemin captured the Gold Medal in the Men’s 100m sprint, clocking a blistering 10.33 seconds to officially shatter the Hong Kong U20 National Record!

Talk about whispering distance from history—his phenomenal time puts him a microscopic 0.05 seconds away from the absolute, all-time Hong Kong Senior Men’s Record of 10.27 seconds.

What makes this achievement even more incredible is his perfect progression. Demonstrating elite composure under immense pressure, Chaemin ran consecutive Personal Bests in every single round, dropping from a 10.42s in the heats, to a 10.35s in the semi-finals, and finally peaking at 10.33s in the final.

To balance world-class sprint training with the grueling demands of IB final exams is an extraordinary feat of discipline and determination. As a long-time representative of SIS athletics, Chaemin has left an indelible mark on our school sports history. We could not be prouder of you, Chaemin! The SIS community is cheering you on for whatever history you break next! 💥🏃‍♂️💨

Huge congratulations to our recent Y13 graduate, Chaemin Jun, for an absolutely legendary performance on the track! Chaemin captured the Gold Medal in the Men’s 100m sprint, clocking a blistering 10.33 seconds to officially shatter the Hong Kong U20 National Record!

Talk about whispering distance from history—his phenomenal time puts him a microscopic 0.05 seconds away from the absolute, all-time Hong Kong Senior Men’s Record of 10.27 seconds.

What makes this achievement even more incredible is his perfect progression. Demonstrating elite composure under immense pressure, Chaemin ran consecutive Personal Bests in every single round, dropping from a 10.42s in the heats, to a 10.35s in the semi-finals, and finally peaking at 10.33s in the final.

To balance world-class sprint training with the grueling demands of IB final exams is an extraordinary feat of discipline and determination. As a long-time representative of SIS athletics, Chaemin has left an indelible mark on our school sports history. We could not be prouder of you, Chaemin! The SIS community is cheering you on for whatever history you break next! 💥🏃‍♂️💨
