Hong Kong International School decided in spring 1998 as a result of the strategic planning process to implement an "electronic community communications system" expanding our on-line community towards a comprehensive community website. All members and groups of the HKIS community are invited to participate in building the DragonNet.

The purpose of the DragonNet is multifold:

• To create a focus for information accumulation and dissemination.
• To create instant access to that information.
• To provide environmental responsibility by reducing the amount of paper used within our community.
• To expand our sense of community, and how we communicate with each other.

Currently the DragonNet receives over 1200 visits per day from faculty, students, parents and alumni who read newsletter, view calendars, visit class pages, buy and sell items or participate in online discussions.

The DragonNet is a collective community effort and currently has over 70 publishers who include parents, faculty, and students.

These publishers are supported by a group of 11^th and 12^th grade high school students called Sysops (System Operators) who administer the DragonNet.

This site is a work in progress and we hope that each time you visit you will find new and helpful information. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
