DEAR STUDENT,

Sometime in the near future we will have a fire drill, and be trialing a new evacuation plan.

All students will evacuate to the field as per the instructions and map below. (Unless you are incapacitated in which case you will evacuate through the main gate and report to Mrs Wong.)

At the start of the drill your teacher will instruct you as to which stair case you will use to access the field.

Once on the field you will move to your community area and report to your Homeroom advisor - this is a change!!

Please move quickly but safely, carefully, and quietly down the stairs....

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HKIS FORENSICS APAC TEAM FOR A SUCCESSFUL SHOWING IN SHANGHAI LAST WEEKEND!

 

The first debate team of Katherine Huang (12) and Yvonne Yu (12) was ranked first seed after preliminary rounds, making it to finals and claiming second place overall out of 12 teams. Second debate team of Stephen Suen (10) and Marie Wu (11) also did exceptionally well, winning a place in the quarter-finals where they were sadly made to debate a HKIS v. HKIS round.

 

In other speaking events, newcomer Rudy Hykl (10) claimed a silver medal in Oral Interpretation. Rachel Corrigan (10) was named a finalist in Extemporaneous Speaking, while Stephen Suen (10) and Yvonne Yu (12) were also finalists in Original Oratory.

First-timers Mitchell Hung (9), Kristie Look (10), Thomas Ruan (9), and Andrew Yu (9) also gave strong performances against stiff competition.

 A great performance all around!

 

DEAR STUDENTS,

A reminder that all students (except seniors with privileges) MUST have a signed gate pass  from the office to be given to the guards, if they are leaving campus for any valid reason during the school day.

A note from a teacher is not sufficient to leave campus (for example going to Welcome for Homeroom snacks) - students must present the note to Ms Chau in the office who will give you a gate pass.

 

Also a reminder that the cafeteria closes at 4pm each day, and any of your belongings need to be removed by then.

Thank you

Mr Ladner

 

HEALTH ADVICE- COLD AND FLU

The drastic change in air temperature recently is beginning to affect quite a number of students and staff who present with cold and flu-like symptoms such as sore throat, dry cough, sneezing, headaches and body malaise. 

Everyone is urged to observe good personal hygiene, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, getting enough sleep and rest. 

If you have a temperature of 37.2C or above, you have to stay home or consult your family doctor if necessary.

THE VARSITY LADY DRAGONS got off to a great start Wednesday with a convincing 60-6 win over the visiting American International School.  Every player contributed to the lopsided score with Stefanie Young leading the way with 14 followed by Jackie Ewing and Carolyn Wong with 10 and Ruthie Bird, and Tasha Tang scoring 7 and six respectively. Next action for the Dragons is Friday when they travel to AISHK and Saturday evening when they host the Division 1 Lady Keen Semi-professional team.
