Year 12 IBDP students completed their TOK exhibitions earlier this month, showcasing critical thinking skills and engaging in stimulating knowledge discussions in small groups. With passion and intellect, they challenged assumptions, made links through real-world objects and presented their commentaries with clarity. The exhibitions fostered a spirit of collaboration, as students actively participated in dialogue, offering insights and feedback to their peers, exemplifying the importance of critical thinking in a complex world. We congratulate our Year 12 IBDP students on their remarkable achievements this year and anticipate their future impact as they continue on their IB programme.

WIS students have achieved a wonderful result in the 75th Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival (Chinese Speech). This is a well-regarded annual competition attracting entries from across Hong Kong schools and is very challenging for International School students because the majority of competitors are from local schools. This year our students achieved the following positions and awards:

- Alexa SANTOS- Second place

- Rylee SANTOS - Third place

- Muyao XING - Merit

- Aimee YUAN Merit

Their amazing achievement not only showcased their talent for the Chinese language but also reflected our school's core values.  

Inter Dynasty Coin Challenge:

The return of the Inter Dynasty Coin Challenge took place on Wednesday during P3 and students successfully brought in a combined total over $5000! Some fantastic coin collecting and all loose change adds up and supports our six community partners. Well done to SONG who officially collected the highest total value of loose change and won the competition.

Inter Dynasty Big Fat Quiz:

Alongside the Coin Challenge the ID Big Fat Quiz took place on Wednesday with 60 questions about our six Dynasties and their history challenged students in Yr7-10 + 12 to score as many points via the Kahoot quiz! The highest scoring tutor group was 8H1 and the overall winners were HAN!

Inter Dynasty Netball:

A week full of high paced netball took place in the Sportshall with both Junior and Senior competitions taking place side by side. A fantastic collaboration of year groups with boys and girls in combined teams saw high scoring games and a fantastic spectacle for all those watching from the balcony. When the Junior and Senior league results were added together the winning Dynasty was...MING!
