Our Year 10 Digital Leaders visited Kennedy School to empower Year 6 students with essential digital strategies for their transition to secondary school. They led discussions on digital footprints, safe online travel and managing distractions. The feedback from KS Year 6 students was positive, showing their understanding of the concepts shared while also expressing interest. The initiative fostered leadership, strengthened connections between the two schools and empowered students to build a safe and informed digital community. WIS looks forward to continuing these valuable partnerships in the future!
Today, our annual Community Project Fair brought a wave of enthusiasm among the students. Year 9 students showcased their community projects, each designed to support local communities through various actions. The fair featured a variety of fundraising activities, including baked goods sales, game stalls, informative booths, and, of course, our world-famous Dunk Tank!
As part of the Physical and Health Education curriculum, Year 7 students participated in an interactive tour of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Drugs InfoCentre, where they were introduced to the risks associated with drugs and drug use.
