Without the support of the school community and, in particular, the teachers who led the Most Competitive Pathway programme (MCP), I would have not come close to achieving my higher education goals. They noticed the potential and guided me towards a destination that I never thought was possible.

What's New at WIS?

🌿 Eleven WISustain students attended the ESF x TASS (The Alliance of Sustainable Schools) sustainability leaders conference at ESF Discovery College last week.

They participated in sustainability-based challenges, heard from inspiring climate leaders like Clover Hogan, Anthony Dixon, and Dr. Margaret Burnett, and engaged in a panel discussion with climate NGO founders Carly Leung, Justin Yeung, and Mark Cheung.

The conference provided valuable insights into sustainability leadership, the importance of networking, and overcoming challenges faced by youth climate activists. 🌍

Year 12 Ikshita Kumar said:"The conference was amazing, the talks were very informative and helped us plan for the future, not only for the school but for job prospects too. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know other students, getting ideas and learning what they have done in their school."

Year 12 Rachel Chiu said:"Overall, the conference was a truly inspiring experience that left me feeling motivated to take initiative within our school community!" 💚

🕵️‍♂️Uncovering Histories: Students Dive into Genealogy with 'Who Do You Think You Are?' CAS Activity 📜

CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) activities at West Island School are one of the ways we provide personalised education to each and every student. ✨

One of these activities is a new one called "Who Do You Think You Are?", based on the BBC programme of the same name. In this show, genealogists research the family history behind different celebrities and present it to them. But instead of celebrities, students participating in this CAS activity will work in pairs to find out more about the genealogy behind school staff members.

They participated in sustainability-based challenges, heard from inspiring climate leaders like Clover Hogan, Anthony Dixon, and Dr. Margaret Burnett, and engaged in a panel discussion with climate NGO founders Carly Leung, Justin Yeung, and Mark Cheung.

The conference provided valuable insights into sustainability leadership, the importance of networking, and overcoming challenges faced by youth climate activists. 🌍

Year 12 Ikshita Kumar said:"The conference was amazing, the talks were very informative and helped us plan for the future, not only for the school but for job prospects too. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know other students, getting ideas and learning what they have done in their school."

Year 12 Rachel Chiu said:"Overall, the conference was a truly inspiring experience that left me feeling motivated to take initiative within our school community!" 💚

🕵️‍♂️Uncovering Histories: Students Dive into Genealogy with 'Who Do You Think You Are?' CAS Activity 📜

CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) activities at West Island School are one of the ways we provide personalised education to each and every student. ✨

One of these activities is a new one called "Who Do You Think You Are?", based on the BBC programme of the same name. In this show, genealogists research the family history behind different celebrities and present it to them. But instead of celebrities, students participating in this CAS activity will work in pairs to find out more about the genealogy behind school staff members.

Click on the link in bio to read more about this new CAS.
