  1. ‘SIS goes MaD’ November 12-16, 2012 Year 12 CAS Booklet

  2. ‘SIS goes MaD’ 2012Year 12 CAS Letter from the Principal • Dear Parents and Students, • As a school we place strong emphasis on enriching the curriculum and offering a broader education with off-site and residential experiences, both within Hong Kong and overseas.These activities change young people. They change attitudes and motivation, relationships within school and provide powerful learning opportunities. Ultimately, we want our students to make a difference to themselves and in the world. • In order to reduce the disruptive impact that these trips can have on the curriculum and on lessons throughout the year, we target these activities as much as possible into one week – our ‘SIS goes MaD’ Week. • The week provides opportunities to bring the school values to life • We work to nurture ourselves, our society and our planet and take personal responsibility for a sustainable future • We approach and engage other people with respect and honesty • We manage ourselves and our learning by developing self awareness, resilience and courage • We explore our world with open minds and compassionate perspectives • We use our initiative and commit to making a difference by being creative, resourceful and reflective • On the following pages, you will find a diverse programme of activities, each of which has highlighted the specific learning outcomes students will have the opportunity to achieve. Creativity, Action and Service are three of the heartbeats of an IB Diploma School and a community that sets its highest aspiration as “making a difference”. These are some of the richest of life experiences a student can encounter in school – I encourage each and every young person at South Island to seize the opportunity.Yours sincerely,Graham SilverthornePrincipal

  3. Please read the ‘General Guidelines’ and ‘Important Notes’ in this booklet carefully. Submission without completed necessary forms, travel documents and required deposit will not be processed. Whereas every effort will be made to assign students to one of their three choices, this may not always be possible. Should this happen, the student(s) concerned will be invited to make three additional selections. Also if, when all applications have been received, an activity is undersubscribed then it will be cancelled. Every effort will then be made to allocate the student to one of his/her other choices. Because some students may need to be asked to make three new choices, the names of those allocated to each trip will not be announced immediately. Names of students allocated to each activity/trip will be posted on the notice boards in the School Foyer by June 22, 2012. Parents need to review carefully all three choices, and to be sure that their children are capable of participating in each. For example, if they choose an activity that is physically demanding – are they able to endure the rigour? PLEASE be careful in the selection process. Students who choose an activity that involves a high cost must ensure that their parents are fully in agreement with this. All forms MUST BE signed by parents or guardian. Activities listed on the SIS Website [Life at SIS -> ‘SIS goes MaD ’ -> Year 12 CAS ] have been costed as well as possible, but costs may change in some cases because, for example, airlines are unwilling to give firm prices well in advance. As sometimes happens in Asia, natural or political difficulties can lead to a decision to reroute a particular activity. It may be necessary to cancel an activity entirely, in which case alternative arrangements will be made. Whilst the school will do all that is possible to prevent any losses, parents do have to assume the financial risk involved with the Week. Neither SIS nor its travel agents guarantee to underwrite costs of activities cancelled for safety or other reasons. If the demand for any activity is high, then parents may be invited to help. In this case a charge of 50% of the cost of the activity will be required. Parents joining activities will be required to help supervise students. I hope that everyone will have a productive and enjoyable time. Sue Thomas Vice Principal Year 12 CAS General Guidelines

  4. All students are expected to participate in ‘SIS goes MaD’ activities. The Head of Family, Heads of House and teachers-in-charge of each activity, will approve the final group lists. Any student who has a record of poor behaviour may be excluded from certain trips. The teachers-in-charge of activities will not allow the students to engage in any activity that is not covered under the parameters of the description written on the website without consultation with the school or supporting external organisation. All groups will be under the supervision and direction of at least one SIS teacher. All school conduct and discipline codes will be adhered to throughout the activity. In addition, if travelling abroad we expect students to obey the laws of the host country and to be sensitive to the culture of the people. We expect all students to refrain from any involvement with alcohol or drugs. In some countries, indulging in such activities carries very severe penalties. Violations of school rules will be reported to the Head of House for follow-up. Consequences of breaking rules are similar to in-school violations of those rules. Year 12 CAS General Guidelines

  5. The cost of medical insurance is included in the prices quoted in the information for all off-site trips. For overseas activities, The cost includes airfare, transportation, accommodation, meals, airport taxes, and insurance. Costs do not include inoculation fees, physician consultation fees or visa fees. There will be no refunds for overseas trips once bookings have been made. Students are to ensure that their passport has at least 6-month validity and they have valid visa/entry permit to the countries they are travelling to. A non-refundable/non-transferable deposit of HKD2,000 is required. Although we are committed to an equal opportunity policy, some of the activities are very physically demanding which may mean that some students will need one-to-one support for them to be able to participate. Parents should be aware that this can be provided, but only at additional cost. They may also want to consult with activity leaders about the demand involved. Year 12 CAS General Guidelines

  6. Objectives To engage in Service, Creativity and Action in an unfamiliar setting. To gain an understanding of different cultures and life styles To build relationships with each other and with communities in the places they visit. To be able to make a positive difference and impact to the people they meet. To have a full understanding of the issues facing the populations who they visit. To understand the philosophy and personal growth that can be gained through CAS ActivitiesWe are offering a range of trips exclusively to Year 12 Students.  Many of these trips will be in China as it is our closest neighbour and provides a very suitable and stimulating environment to carry out our activities. We have enough students who speak Chinese to ensure that language is not a barrier.  Students should not expect luxurious accommodation and in many of the options the food and accommodation may be very simple.  A large element of the week will be spent doing service activities which may include teaching or even simple construction tasks, but there will also be elements of Action and Creativity too.  In addition to options to China and Taiwan, there is a trip to Kenya where students will continue the links South Island School has already with Africa.  It is expected whichever trip is chosen that there will be a number of preparation sessions that will include fundraising, sharing trip objectives with the entire school and planning some activities such as a cultural exchange.  The trips will be memorable experiences which will give all students ample opportunity for reflection. Year 12 CAS Objectives

The kids had a smile on their face throughout and that was an invaluable thing.” – S.Kripalani, Humanity Teacher, South Island School “The tour was an amazing trip, especially the hike to Huashan. The scenery was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen before. Also the cultural exchange programme with the local students gave me some new insights into their culture and people. The food in the Muslim Quarter was also pretty amazing.” – Alfred, Student, Age 16 Year 12 CAS Xi’an, China: School Service, Action & Culture

  25. Why Xiamen? In the remote mountains deep behind the largest world sea port in the 12th century live the Hakka or “guest” people (客家), who fled from China’s heart land and have been striving to preserve their cultural heritage. In this trip, students will have a rare opportunity to stay in a hotel converted from a genuine Hakka Fortress, or “tu lou” (土樓) amid an UNESCO World Heritage site. The group will be doing English teaching in a local primary school, where children are always eager to take part in every opportunity to learn and interact with outsiders, and so prone to eyeful of tears when it is time to say goodbye. By being part of the village’s everyday life, students will get a taste of the unique communal life that the Hakka people have preserved over the last few centuries, in a reflective contrast with that in modern urban city like Hong Kong. The kind hospitality of the Hakka people will make you feel like you are home away from home!

Before I went to Xiamen, I hadn’t realised how lucky we were to have such a good education for granted – I now know that people in other places don’t have access to good schooling, and feel really happy I could help them with their English. Experiencing the village life first hand was an unforgettable cultural experience too and I’d love to go on another trip like this.” – Alvina, Student, Age 16 Year 12 CAS Xiamen, China: School Service & Action
