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.

This year’s Christmas Assembly was a journey to remember, centered around a clever and well-crafted “Polar Express” theme. The Head Prefect Team did a fantastic job guiding the entire show with a witty script that tied all our performances together perfectly.

The stage was filled with talent, featuring high-energy band sets and several acoustic duets. We also looked ahead to future events with a short model runway show for Innovation 2026 and a creative skit introducing International Evening, our annual celebration of talent from across the school.

A show of this scale is a massive team effort. A special shoutout goes to the Head Prefect Team for their leadership and the backstage crew, lighting, and sound technicians for their expertise. We also want to thank all our performers and the many student volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the assembly a success.

It was wonderful to see so much creativity and teamwork on display as we wrapped up the term together.

Our Christmas Concert was a sincere display of the hard work and talent of our student musicians. It was a pleasant evening spent listening to a variety of performances that brought a sense of grace to the stage.

The Orchestra opened the program with a thoughtful performance, followed by the Band’s precise take on traditional holiday arrangements. Throughout the show, we also enjoyed familiar Christmas jingles played on various instruments, adding a nice touch of nostalgia to the air.

We are very proud of our performers for putting together such a polished event. Thank you to everyone who attended and shared in this evening of music with us.

Dear SIS Community,

We are deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in the Wang Fuk Court Community, Tai Po. Our thoughts and sympathies are with those who were injured and those who have suffered loss. As our NightFest is scheduled for tonight, we recognise the importance of demonstrating solidarity and support during this difficult time.

This year, the NightFest will focus on dedicating our efforts to community relief. Tonight offers an opportunity to channel our collective concern into tangible assistance.

South Island School (SIS) and the SIS Parent Teacher Association(PTA) have pledged to make a donation from the proceeds of NightFest to an appropriate charity which will support those affected by the fire in Tai Po. These funds will be directed solely to organisations endorsed by the HKSAR Government. They will utilise these resources to provide direct aid and necessary support to the families impacted by the fire and to assist in the healing of the Tai Po community.

We sincerely invite every member of our community to join us in this act of collective care. Let us use our collective compassion to support each other and make a difference in the lives of those affected.

Unraveling the complexities of The Empire of AI took center stage at SIS yesterday. 🔍

We were honored to host the brilliant tech journalist and author, Karen Hao, who shared crucial insights from her groundbreaking new book, The Empire of AI. Karen sparked a necessary, campus-wide conversation, structuring the day into two vital sessions.

First, our students participated in a dynamic, tailored session, confronting the algorithms that will shape their future.

Later, we welcomed our parent community for a special evening session, providing them with essential perspective on how this ‘AI Empire’ is already reshaping education and the world their children will inherit.

Thank you, Karen, for a truly eye-opening day that challenged all of us to understand who truly holds the keys to the future.

This year’s Christmas Assembly was a journey to remember, centered around a clever and well-crafted “Polar Express” theme. The Head Prefect Team did a fantastic job guiding the entire show with a witty script that tied all our performances together perfectly.

The stage was filled with talent, featuring high-energy band sets and several acoustic duets. We also looked ahead to future events with a short model runway show for Innovation 2026 and a creative skit introducing International Evening, our annual celebration of talent from across the school.

A show of this scale is a massive team effort. A special shoutout goes to the Head Prefect Team for their leadership and the backstage crew, lighting, and sound technicians for their expertise. We also want to thank all our performers and the many student volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the assembly a success.

It was wonderful to see so much creativity and teamwork on display as we wrapped up the term together.

Our Christmas Concert was a sincere display of the hard work and talent of our student musicians. It was a pleasant evening spent listening to a variety of performances that brought a sense of grace to the stage.

The Orchestra opened the program with a thoughtful performance, followed by the Band’s precise take on traditional holiday arrangements. Throughout the show, we also enjoyed familiar Christmas jingles played on various instruments, adding a nice touch of nostalgia to the air.

We are very proud of our performers for putting together such a polished event. Thank you to everyone who attended and shared in this evening of music with us.

Dear SIS Community,

It is with deep sadness that we inform you that tonight’s Nightfest has been cancelled in light of the recent tragedy in Tai Po. Following guidance from the ESF Centre, we feel it is right to pause our celebrations at this time.

This is a difficult moment for our wider community, and we believe it is important to reflect and pay appropriate respect. We ask that you keep the affected families in your thoughts during this period of grief. As a school, we remain committed to supporting one another and fostering compassion in the face of hardship.

Please keep your tickets, as further information will be shared with you soon regarding next steps. Thank you to those who have already brought in donations today. We will continue to collect donations next week.

Thank you to those staff, student and parent volunteers who have already spent considerable time planning Nightfest.

We appreciate your understanding and for joining us in standing with our community.

With sympathy,

The Leadership Team

Dear SIS Community,

We are deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in the Wang Fuk Court Community, Tai Po. Our thoughts and sympathies are with those who were injured and those who have suffered loss. As our NightFest is scheduled for tonight, we recognise the importance of demonstrating solidarity and support during this difficult time.

This year, the NightFest will focus on dedicating our efforts to community relief. Tonight offers an opportunity to channel our collective concern into tangible assistance.

South Island School (SIS) and the SIS Parent Teacher Association(PTA) have pledged to make a donation from the proceeds of NightFest to an appropriate charity which will support those affected by the fire in Tai Po. These funds will be directed solely to organisations endorsed by the HKSAR Government. They will utilise these resources to provide direct aid and necessary support to the families impacted by the fire and to assist in the healing of the Tai Po community.

We sincerely invite every member of our community to join us in this act of collective care. Let us use our collective compassion to support each other and make a difference in the lives of those affected.

Unraveling the complexities of The Empire of AI took center stage at SIS yesterday. 🔍

We were honored to host the brilliant tech journalist and author, Karen Hao, who shared crucial insights from her groundbreaking new book, The Empire of AI. Karen sparked a necessary, campus-wide conversation, structuring the day into two vital sessions.

First, our students participated in a dynamic, tailored session, confronting the algorithms that will shape their future.

Later, we welcomed our parent community for a special evening session, providing them with essential perspective on how this ‘AI Empire’ is already reshaping education and the world their children will inherit.

Thank you, Karen, for a truly eye-opening day that challenged all of us to understand who truly holds the keys to the future.
