PRINCIPAL’S FOREWORD Sha Tin has been Island School’s home for three terms now and we have very much settled in. The sense of flux that Island School felt in previous years, as we waited for government and funding processes to be finalised, has gone. Last year teachers sustained an outstanding level of teaching and learning despite the disruption of the move. The Class of 2018’s impressive exam results are testimony to the focus and dedication of staff and students. Along with the changes at Island School there has been

IS Parent Teacher Association Limited (ISPTAL) With the Island School community settled into our Sha Tin campuses, we look back and pay tribute to the tremendous energy of our teachers, staff and parents. We especially celebrate our remarkable students, past and present, who have shaped our Island School ethos – the spirit of being an Islander. Our move from Borrett Road to Sha Tin has been a smooth one but it involved a lot of hard work and co-ordination. This year is unique and I would like to share a glimpse of our accomplishments. December was filled with nostalgia as the school closed for the term. We spent 50 years at Borrett Road and were faced with the unknown of being in Sha Tin and having the community split over two different campuses. Changes were expected during the transition. We packed up our office and shop and decanted to TaiWai. We are fortunate to be provided with a spacious room in Tai Wai and a smaller one in Sha Tin Wai. We have converted these places into parent & teacher lounges, a place where parents can rest and recharge with a cup of coffee or get some work done in between appointments while visiting the campuses. We have named them the Big Chill in Tai Wai and The Uncommon Room in Sha TinWai. The ISPTAL has undergone some significant changes in its normal operations at the same time. We closed the uniform and bookshop and we successfully piloted the ESF central uniform procurement process and moved online. At the

It was a huge success with over 450 guests who enjoyed the afternoon after the ceremony in the school hall. - The ISPTAL also organized parent dinners and lunches for different year groups. - The WhatsApp groups from Year 7 to Year 13 that were initiated in 2014 have brought the community closer and more accessible to each other. The Group Admins, including myself, constantly update records and add new members and moderate conversations. It has become an invaluable source of information sharing and helps keep the community together. - We also have a termly newsletter with updates on all our achievements and important dates.

To be part of the Island School Parent Teacher Association Limited (ISPTAL) is an honour, and in return, we strive to serve the community the best we can. We believe the ISPTAL adds value to the experience of being in the Island School community. We work to build community, which in turn builds a sense of belonging, which benefits our children’s time at Island School. All Island School parents are welcome to join our monthly ISPTAL meetings, usually held on the second Monday of each month.

THE MOVE TO SHA TIN Island School’s move to Sha Tin was long awaited. The Education Bureau offered Island School the temporary decant campuses in October 2013 and shortly afterwards the planning and administrative processes began. The final government approval, granted in July 2017, meant that refurbishment works at the temporary campuses could start. Borrett Road closed on the 14 December 2017 and Island School Sha Tin opened on the 11 January 2018. Moving between Borrett Road and the temporary campuses over the term break was a tremendously challenging exercise conducted over a very short timescale. The transition was smooth but the important thing was how quickly our students settled in and returned to their learning journey. The warm welcome we have received by the housing associations, local councillors and residents has been phenomenal in helping us settle in. Whilst the key to this success has been the thorough planning undertaken over the past few years and the incredible dedication of staff, the magic has been provided by our school culture driven by our
Sha Tin Wai Campus
core values. Once we moved in we fine-tuned everything including: personalising the buildings, adapting routines, undertaking additional minor building projects and working with partners such as Kwoon Chong (bus company) to improve efficiency of service. Our temporary campuses now feel like home as we have had our first graduation, gala nights and fairs. We look forward to many more important and memorable events at our Sha Tin campuses. Stephen Loggie, Island School Principal

ALLIANCE An integral component of an Island School education is service learning, incorporated into daily learning routines. Engaging in service learning has ensured that for many years Island School graduates have developed skills, knowledge and attitudes which have driven future success. Our school communities’ exceptional capability in this area has meant that we have done an extraordinary amount of good for many very worthy causes. We have launched another layer to this activity through the Island School ‘Alliance’. The Alliance will form partnerships with businesses and NGOs so as to create other layers of service. In doing so, we will enrich the education of our students and enrich the social fabric of Hong Kong.
Katja House
As with most initiatives within our school this is a student lead activity that has the following key objectives:- Developing an Academy that will identify highly capable ESF and local students and connect them to cutting edge learning experiences that accelerate their learning. - Promoting the learning of English language across Hong Kong - Creating networks between ESF schools and local schools to share and enhance teaching practice. - Generating scholarships for local school students and mentoring schemes that create pathways to universities. - Linking ESF and local school students to influential corporate and NGO leaders to build influence and a greater understanding of the challenges that we will face in the future. The Alliance started the year with a focus on supporting the Katja House and Baiwan projects, close to the hearts of many within the school community. Moving on from these projects we will focus on the Nicola Myers & Kenneth McBride Fund, and the Spirit Fund. Stephen Loggie,

to Hong Kong to start his teaching career. As an ESF alumni, he is familiar with many ESF schools in Hong Kong, but his first impressions of Island School as a teacher have been that all members of the community are friendly and welcoming. At Island School, he hopes to inspire young entrepreneurs to develop their passion for business and economics, and to explore the opportunities available in this field. As a passionate footballer, he hopes to coach one of the Island School football teams.
Ms Stephens is originally from the UK but has been living in Hong Kong since 2007. She studied at The University of Cambridge, The University of Hong Kong, and The University of Birmingham.

He moved to Hong Kong in 2006, prior to this he taught at international schools in Thailand and Germany. His first position in Hong Kong was a short term contract at KGV followed by a term at The American School, then 11 years at South Island School.

If I do say so myself I think the audience genuinely enjoyed seeing something new.” “Now that HDM is over there is one change in me that is really important.

Community Projects When Island School moved campuses an agreement was made between the ESF and Sha Tin District Council that Island School should host a community library. The Tai Wai campus community library has over 2000 books. As well as borrowing books, reading and studying visitors can also join in story telling sessions and art lessons. At the Sha Tin Wai campus students from Years 7 and 12 now host music and English sessions for kindergarten children. Island School students, little children and their parents and grandparents sing dance and colour together. These sessions have been arranged with support from District Councilor Sunny Chiu.
