 Joy
Sharing the
Christmas Festive
by Mr Heng Yew Seng

Last December, the Secondary Section invited 50 students from a local

special education school, Tsui Tsin Tong School (TTTS), to join us for a very
different Christmas celebration. The event was organised as part of the school’s
efforts to contribute to the local community. It also provided our students the
opportunity to interact with and gain a better understanding of teenagers with
special needs.
Before the event, an assembly talk by TTTS staff was conducted to educate our
students on the characteristics and needs of special education teenagers. After a
month of planning and preparation, our students sang, danced and performed for the
guests. They also organised activities for the TTTS students such as a game of frisbee
Th

and the making of Christmas ornaments. At the end of the event, the TTTS students were

 Developing Students
into Leaders by Mr Matthew Grey

“It’s hard to lead a cavalry charge if you think you look

funny on a horse.” Adlai Stephenson
Sixty-eight students are currently involved in the Leadership Programme
at SIS. We know them as ‘Prefects’ and they are seen around the school
performing their daily duties. The aim of the Leadership Programme is to
prepare all our Prefects for their role and to give them an insight into the
nature of leadership.
In order to achieve this aim, the P5 and P6 Prefects began the year by
attending a weekly training programme for four weeks. This included
a visit from a highly respected writer and Leadership Trainer, who
encouraged all to see leadership as a means of “making other people
better”. Positive conflict resolution and effective communication were the
other key elements of this.
Additionally, there was

Council members from the

Never Again –
an inter-disciplinary study of the Holocaust
Sylvain Gilbert, a hidden child who survived
the Holocaust, said that the responsibility of
remembering the Holocaust is being passed
down to the next generation. It will be their job
to stand up for what is right.
The next generation that Sylvain speaks
of includes our students at SIS, and we
are preparing them for this role through
education. With a cross-curricular unit of study
in Secondary 2 history and English spanning
twelve weeks, guest speakers, and a display of
featured books in the library, we are offering a
multifaceted view of the Holocaust.
Beyond studying the horrifying facts of the
Holocaust, the Secondary 2 students also
analysed primar y sources that focused
on German propaganda. This exercise
opened their eyes to the manipulation and
dangers of stereotyping. It also helped them
critically assess the actions of the common
German people.
In their English classes, the Secondary 2
students added to their understanding of the
Holocaust through the fictional account of one
girl who finds herself being rounded up for
“relocation,” a euphemism for being sent to a
concentration camp. The Devil’s Arithmetic
allowed the students to empathize with a
character their own age and made the study of
the Holocaust more tangible.
The entire Secondary school gathered to listen
to Fumiko Ishioka talk about Hana’s Suitcase
on 25 November 2009. Fumiko recounted her

quest to discover more information about Hana Brady, the name on a suitcase that was loaned to
her Tokyo Holocaust Research Center by the Auschwitz Museum. After many months of sending
letters, making phone calls, and a visit to the Theresienstadt prison camp, Fumiko was able to locate
Jorge Brady, Hana’s older brother, who had survived the camps. Through this event, the students
were able to connect with one individual child and see how the loss of her life affected so many
other people.
On 27 January 2010, the officially designated United Nations Holocaust Memorial Day,
six Secondary 2 students led the school in a simple ceremony during morning assembly,
remembering the victims of the Holocaust and other 20th century genocides. Later
that afternoon, the students listened to a talk given by Sara Pecenac. She told how her
Muslim family rescued a Jewish family in Sarajevo during World War II. Almost fifty
years later, that same Jewish family helped Sara and her family escape the Bosnian
ethnic cleansing.
The guest speakers and the focus of the lessons in class not only
helped the SIS students to understand the Holocaust and S tudents with M

ensure it never happens again but also helped to get ece

them to think for themselves and stand up for
what is right in any situation. In the process,
we hope to prepare them to become
leaders who can guide our world toward
a more peaceful and just future.
“We have to learn about the past so
that in the future we will not make
the same mistakes again. Our
actions shape our future.”

Understanding the One-to-One Laptop Programme at Wanchai campus
Educational Software on sale
Acquiring the light-weight Macbooks
Paving the way for a
One-to-One
Laptop
Programme
by Mr Bernard Ng & Mr Declan Burke
In December 2009, SIS launched a Macbook School
Purchasing Scheme that enabled parents to purchase
Macbooks at significant discounts. The Macbooks are pre-
installed with relevant software applications bought at
school bulk purchase prices. This scheme was initiated
because SIS plans to become a One-to-One Laptop School
by the 2011/12 academic year. This means that all
secondary students will use their own laptops in school each
day as their personal learning device.
By launching the purchasing scheme now, parents who
have children entering Secondary One in 2011/12 will
make a more informed choice when they buy laptops for
their children. This scheme will guide parents to buy a
suitable laptop for school purposes.
SIS has chosen to work with Apple to offer a One-to-One
Laptop Programme at the Secondary level for a number
of reasons:
Apple offers the school a total solution which includes:
hardware, software and additional services which
include planning, implementation, professional training,
curriculum design and technical support.
Apple is committed to advancing teaching and learning
for K-12 education with 30 years of research and
development.
Apple’s iLife suite is designed to unleash our learners’
creativity and develop their critical thinking skills.
Mac OS X is stable and more secure than other
operating systems, and is also free from viruses and
spyware.
Mac OS X can run applications such as Microsoft
Office and is compatible with most Windows files and
applications.
The first batch of students who had made their orders
collected their laptops on 28 January at the Wanchai
campus. The second wave of this school purchasing scheme
will be launched in December 2010 and the third will be in
July 2011.

at SIS

Limited space, unlimited possibilities…

This is the theme we are focusing on for the next one and a half years at Wanchai
campus. For PE lessons, new and modified games and activities will be taught,
and students will be given opportunities to collaborate and work in teams
as they begin to appreciate the value of integrity, sportsmanship and
perseverance. New CCAs which promote active participation have
been started in order to maximize the space available and to
cater to students’ interest. These include Outdoor
Education and Aikido. Post Examination Activities

Health Education Knowledge and technology are growing exponentially in the twenty-
first century. To prepare our students for the challenges of the future,
it is imperative for them to become scientifically literate. This means
by Mr Chin Joong Fui
that the Science education that students receive should go beyond
that of acquiring scientific facts. It has to include the cultivation of the
Scientific Method, curiosity for the unknown and the development of an
inquiring mind.
Over the years, the Science Department at SIS has put in place many
initiatives to develop inquiry-based learning in our students. I seek to
work with all stakeholders to inspire our students with the wonderment
that comes through the learning of Science.
