Over the 5 years (and counting!) I've attended Island School, the community has grown to become a second home to me, a feeling that is bolstered not just by the excellent teaching faculty and state-of-the-art facilities, but also a peer community that enables all Islanders to grow and evolve in their respective fields.

Island School is my second family and home. Its tight-knit community sincerely helped shape my conceptual understanding of the world around me on a global, national, and local scale—without such a unique collection of experiences, I certainly would not be the person I am today. The encouragement from teachers and peers for students to pursue excellence in their areas of work is unparalleled and pushes students in their growth as well as development, whether they realise it or not.

Island School has nurtured and transformed me both as an individual as well as academically. The learning environment and community, plentiful of opportunities, has allowed me to develop a passion for STEM, community service and leadership to further inspire others.

Island School has made my high school experience incredibly memorable. I was given the opportunity to engage in a range of extracurricular activities that allowed me to explore my interests and step out of my comfort zone, which helped enhance my communication skills and overall confidence. Most importantly, the sense of community allowed me to form valuable friendships and meaningful connections.

Every time I visit Island School I’m impressed by the positive vibe I feel on campus. There is always a sense of excitement, activity and joy. And someone will always say ‘hello’ - be it a student, a teacher or staff. This welcoming feeling extends across the school, providing a nurturing environment for my kids to grow up in with a healthy balance between academic achievement and focus on important social, sporting and life skills.

Choosing Island School was the right decision for our son Daanyal. Over his 7 years there, he thrived in their inquisitive, progressive environment. The school fostered Daanyal's independent, mature thinking, with steadfast teacher support every step of the way. We appreciated how the school involved us parents and made us feel part of Daanyal's balanced growth. Island School empowered him to explore opportunities beyond campus and truly embraced his unique identity. We're thankful for the nurturing, student-centred experience that guided Daanyal's development.

My teachers and friends were incredible support systems that I couldn't have completed this journey without. It was the heartfelt conversations, reassuring smiles, warm laughs, and the immense unity I felt with them that propelled me through both my tribulations and triumphs. Thank you, Island School—I couldn't be more grateful.

Being an Islander has been an incredible privilege and a source of immense pride for me. I could not have achieved what I did without the unwavering support and encouragement of my teachers and friends, who always challenged me to transcend my limits and pursue my aspirations. I’m deeply grateful for the invaluable guidance and companionship they have given me throughout my journey.

While school memories may mean the tangible architecture of the pre-redevelopment campus for many Islanders each from a different House (go Da Vinci!) the intangible spirit and bonds are common to all Islanders.

This week from December 1-5, Wilberforce held their annual charity week, raising money to donate to the Chicken Soup Foundation, a charity that supports and provides resources to underprivileged families in Hong Kong! Activities included a bake sale, sponsored dances for Years 7-10 students, carnival and plushie sale, duck pin delivery and Teacher vs Student karaoke.
The IB Collaborative Science Project (CSP), held on November 27 and 28, is an interdisciplinary activity for Diploma Programme science students (Group 4 subjects). Students from different science disciplines work together in teams over about 10 hours.
They collaboratively plan, investigate, and present findings on a shared problem. The project emphasises teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and appreciating the ethical and environmental implications of science, focusing on the process of collaboration rather than solely the product.
This year the theme was the Power of Colour. Each team of students undertook a vast array of scientific investigations exploring an assigned colour through numerous perspectives. The creativity and ingenuity on display has been very impressive!
On Tuesday December 2nd, the Island School Chamber Choir and Chamber Orchestra performed at the annual Light Up A Life Christmas Carol Charity Concert, held at St. John's Cathedral. The concert was held in support of the Society for the Promotion of Hospice Care. Island School Musicians were led by Miss Claudia Lau and Ms Zenan Kwan, featuring Enya (13N) on the Trumpet, Heidi (13E) on the Harp, Tom (12W) on the Oboe, as well as Hailey (12R) and Nayeli (11R) as vocal soloists. The concert also highlighted the Year 13 students as they celebrated their final performance at St. John's Cathedral.
A huge thank you to all the parents, staff and wider community that came to support the event ahead of the Christmas season.
Dear Island School Community,
We regret to inform you that the Winter Fair has been cancelled due to the recent tragedy in Tai Po. In light of the Government's decision to cancel all celebratory events and numerous large gatherings scheduled for this weekend, we have collectively decided that all ESF events, including the Island School Winter Fair, will not go ahead. Given the scale of this unfolding tragedy and its profound impact on the city, we do not feel it is appropriate to proceed and wish to honour those affected with the utmost respect.
Thank you for your understanding on such short notice. This was a difficult decision to make, and our thoughts remain with all those impacted by this heartbreaking event.
With sympathy,
