ICHK was the runner-up in this week’s Battle of the Books final.

It is the highest result ever for our students, who worked hard in preparation for the live battle.

They showed supportive team work, exceptional knowledge, and brilliant determination. Despite a valiant effort, GSIS took the win.

The annual competition, which has been running in Hong Kong since 1999, is designed to introduce students to a variety of different reading material.

Our students have worked hard all year and given up many lunchtimes to read books, answer questions and prepare for the event. They have enjoyed a variety of literary genres and worked together as a team, under the guidance of Isabel Khine and Kelly Harmon.

During the competition they were wonderful ambassadors for the school. They were supportive and encouraging to each other and graciously congratulated the winning team.

We congratulate the team on getting to the finals and thank Isabel and Kelly for all their support and guidance.
