Discovery Bay International School

This , we're looking back at last week's STEAM Week, when the entire school collaborated on a massive Rube Goldberg machine. Did it work on the first try? Absolutely not. It took critical thinking, a lot of trial and error and endless resilience – but watching the chain reactions finally work was magical!

It's possibly our best to date, with champions left, right and centre! Huge congratulations to our U12 boys' A and B football teams and our U12 girls' football team for winning gold in their divisions, and to our U14 netball team for securing bronze! Go Hammerheads!

It's , and our Year 4 students have been busy collaborating in teams to create their cardboard arcade games; there's plenty of cutting, gluing and decorating required in order to bring their plans to life!

- We were thrilled to welcome author Jamie Yorke to the DBIS library today. Jamie’s series, The Power Five and Braden's Buddies, is set in a fictional international school and features a diverse cast of characters tackling real-world social-emotional issues. Our students were instantly hooked, making connections between their own lives and experiences within the pages. Thank you, Jamie, for an inspiring lunchtime!

This , we'd like to thank our fantastic PTSA, who have subsidised first aid training courses, led by First Aid Plus HK, for domestic helpers in our community. The last session takes place on Saturday 6th June, and there are still a few spaces available. DBIS families – please see the bulletin on the parent hub for how to sign your aunties/uncles up.
