Athletics: A Tradition of Excellence HKIS Co-curricular Philosophy

HKIS believes co-curricular activities are integral to the total education experience for students. The co-curricular program supports the actualization of the school’s mission, vision, and student learning results (SLRs). Co-Curricular activities provide opportunities for students to explore and pursue areas of interest in diverse environments, promoting the development of both collaborative and individual knowledge and skills. These experiences, when pursued appropriately, promote the fulfillment of a healthy and balanced life.

Program Overview

HKIS believes in a seasonal philosophy with most of its High School sports running in 10 week seasons. HKIS is a member of two local leagues: the International School Sports Federation (ISSFHK) and the Hong Kong School Sports Federation (HKSSF). Both sports associations provide opportunities for our student athletes to compete against local competition. In addition, we belong to three overseas school sports conferences: Asia Pacific Activities Conference (APAC), China Cup, and JPAC (JV Pacific Activities Conference). In addition, HKIS runs several invitational tournaments throughout the year to give additional opportunities for play.
Our High School teams promote educational athletics which is defined as a program that advocates and promotes leadership, goal setting, teamwork, decision making, perseverance, integrity, healthy competition, resilience, and overcoming adversity.
