We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the 2025 WIS Bazaar! Your enthusiasm and support made this event truly unforgettable. So many great performances, fun games, amazing food and a visit from Mister Softee Ice Cream at our school.
Attendees enjoyed a fantastic selection of delicious foods from our diverse stalls, including Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian cuisines. The BBQ, Pizza and drinks stalls are managed by teachers and staff, so a huge thank you to them too. Thank you to the parents and children that donated baked goods to the Cake Stand and Fruit Stand. The Dynasty Bake Off had really lovely items for sale!
The day was filled with fun and entertainment, including exciting inflatables, VR games, and the Rugby Target Game. Families relaxed in the Zen Zone, where they could enjoy craft projects, while our talented student bands and performers captivated audiences throughout the day.
Shoppers delighted in browsing our commercial vendors and pre-loved books and toys.
Don’t forget the Silent Disco, where friends danced away with headphones, and the auditorium performances showcased our students' incredible talents.

The U16 Sandy Bay Girls Team has won the U16 Girls Rugby League in Hong Kong. Many West Island students are in the team; Scarlett Moore, Luca Schorr, Zoe Schorr, Eloisa Deayton, Nica McMahon, Jennica Narag and Rochelle Ng. We look forward to their performance in the upcoming interschool competition next week.
Year 13 students had the valuable opportunity to hear from Maseco Asia about budgeting advice for university and strategies for becoming lifelong investors. The diverse range of questions they asked highlighted their strong grasp of financial literacy. The big question remains: what does the future hold—crypto, bonds, stocks, or a diversified portfolio?
Additionally, Year 13 worked with the Higher Education team to learn how to accept and secure their university offers.
