Freestyle football extraordinaire Philip Gertsson together with One Goal, called on SIS for a thirty minute freestyle football demonstration. One Goal, a movement of football lovers that includes the Asian Football Confederation and the Asian Football Development Project, advocates improving child nutrition in Asia and spreads its message by enlisting football ambassadors such as Phillip to promote its message.

This visit was a timely conclusion to the week’s Healthy Eating Habits unit in the Middle School’s Healthy & Physical Education. The students adored Philip’s prowess and dexterity with the football, and more importantly was inspired by his message to live a healthy lifestyle and practice good nutrition.

SIS made history, literally, with the two teams that we fielded at The International History Bee and Bowl last Sunday. In their first ever participation of this kind, both teams made SIS very proud as they took the Championship and 2nd place in the Junior Varsity Bowl (team) division.  

The students did an amazing job with their impressive level of knowledge in history and general knowledge, easily eliminating their opponents from 16 teams representing various Malaysian and international schools.

The winners received a plaque, which they proudly presented to our principal to be included in our Hall of Glory trophy showcase. With the successful placing, the 10 students making up the teams will go on to represent SIS at the regional Asian International Competition to be hosted in Hong Kong this year.
