Singapore International School (Secondary Section)

Singapore International School (Hong Kong) [SISHK] was established in 1991 offering only preparatory years and primary education. With the strong support of Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE), SISHK today offers a Singapore-styled, through-train education programme from preparatory years to pre-university levels.

To prepare our students for the challenges of an ever-changing world, our student-centric, values-driven holistic education aims to help our students harness the joy of learning, strengthen their character and active citizenry, nurture an entrepreneurial dare and develop their skills and abilities for innovation and future learning. Everything we do revolves around our school values of respect, responsibility, resilience, integrity, care and harmony (3RICH).

We help our students lay strong foundations in the acquisition of knowledge, skills and values, they are also encouraged to go beyond the classroom and apply their learning to real world contexts. We guide our students to understand the interconnectedness across subjects and see the relation between what they learn in school and the real world. Our students are given the freedom to explore and discover their interests and abilities, which encourage and motivate them to learn for life. They are encouraged to be inquisitive and use their imagination to draw on their creativity and seek solutions to real world problems. Our school prepares our students to create value for others and contribute positively to the community which we are a part of.

Everything that we do here at SISHK is guided by our school’s vision, mission and values. They provide a compass and direction to define who we are and how we operate. Mission is to provide a conducive environment for a future-oriented, holistic education, anchored in a rigorous bilingual academic programme, for children of all nationalities. We nurture students to be independent life-long learners imbued with sound moral values who are respectful and responsible, and who rise to the challenges of life creatively and enthusiastically in an ever-changing world.

The University Counselling team, together with Form Teachers and Diploma Programme Mentors, provide guidance and organise activities for our students as part of the Education and Career Guidance Programme. The University Counselling Room will provide a dedicated space for students and parents to consult and meet with the University Counsellors as they receive guidance and make decisions for the next stage of their lifelong learning journey.

The mezzanine in the Library is an under-used space which will be converted into a mini lecture theatre to serve as a meeting, seminar or discussion space for students. The addition of the Mini Lecture Theatre will also provide an additional venue for the school to implement a lecture system at the Upper Secondary and Diploma levels as the school prepares our students for the learning and lecture styles adopted by universities.

Orientation Square will be converted into a flexible space with sliding doors. The space can remain open to the elements or be enclosed to create a function room for holding examinations. The Multi-Purpose Room can also be used for meetings with parents, school events, exhibition hall as well as sports training for co-curricular activities such as table-tennis.

The corridor at L3 next to the car park will be extended into ceiling space over the Foyer to create additional learning and teaching rooms. The rooms will provide more options and venues when timetabling lessons for students.

To meet the learning needs of the student body and to offer more subject choices at Upper Secondary and Diploma levels, the number of staff has increased over the years and will continue to increase. To provide a conducive working environment for our staff, the current staff room will be re-laid out and the L2 corridor will be extended into the empty space over the foyer to create a new staff room

In reconfiguring the existing Staff Room, the General Office and reception area will be redesigned to provide a welcoming space for staff, students and visitors. A new nursing room for mothers with babies and the sick bay will also be located at the General Office.
