This Sunday, December 14th, UISG will be buzzing with energy for the year’s most anticipated event—the International Festival of Light (IFOL). From 11 AM onwards, prepare to embark on a global journey without leaving campus. This is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of our diverse community.
We are proud to announce that two of our students, EunSu Hong (G12) and JiMin Kim (G11), have received prestigious volunteer awards from the Korean Government Advisory Council, the Democratic Peace and Unification Advisory Council.
As we conclude this first week of December, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible spirit and collaboration you have shown. Your passion and engagement across our campus have truly made this a remarkable week.
UISZ students will light up winter with creativity—every UISZ family is invited to witness their growth and imagination!
Beneath the starry sky of Sai Kung, campfire light flickered across the faces of a group of teenagers. They had just hiked through the “world’s most beautiful trail” and were sharing their heart-pounding experiences of rappelling down a cliff dozens of meters high.
Today, UISZ campus hosted a critical “real-world rehearsal”—the DSE Grade 12 Mock Exam has officially begun! Designed to fully replicate the formal Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) examination, this mock test mirrors the actual exam in everything from venue setup and procedures to grading standards, providing students with an authentic test-taking experience to prepare them for future challenges.
When we return on Monday, December 1, we hit the ground running. We are adjusting the format of this ‘Week Ahead’ section to align with the feedback shared by parents—thank you for your input! Here is a streamlined look at the action-packed schedule:
Looking ahead, we have several important events: our basketball team plays again at QSID on Monday, and our Grade 12 students taking their graduation photos at the AIO on Tuesday – always a memorable moment. We will conduct our essential whole-school Fire Drill on Thursday morning to practice safety procedures with all our students and staff.
Recently, UISZ’s educational team visited sister schools Chiway Repton High School Xiamen and Lanrun Angel Foreign Language Experimental School for a series of productive teaching exchanges centered on the DSE curriculum. As a key part of these activities, Austin Zhang,Head of Secondary Schoool(HKDSE),also joined Xiamen Starlight-Lepton High School at an education fair, offering expert insights into the DSE curriculum for parents.
Our focus next week is on fostering a safe and inclusive environment through the launch of our annual Bullying Awareness Week which begins next Monday. This important initiative reinforces our core values of empathy, respect, and global citizenship. Through dedicated activities, we will empower our students to be open-minded individuals who appreciate and celebrate our diverse community.
