I still believe that the best things in education cannot be measured. I loved this year’s Christmas concert but I am not sure how you can "measure" it as a success, except for the great pleasure and enjoyment it gave the performers and the audience as well as the great sense of community which it engenders in Island School. - David James Islanders Newsletter from David James - December 2003 - by David James - NEW! Hong Kong has witnessed some unprecedented scenes over the last six months. First of all in July half a million people took to the streets, the Headmaster included, to protest against the government’s implementation of an anti-subversion law, Article 23 of the Basic Law. The government was visibly shaken although the demonstration was peaceful. It was, in fact, great fun and took me back to my student days. The route was supposed to take half of Hennessy Road but police soon closed the whole of Hennessy Road and because of the numbers, ended up closing the waterfront expressway. The route which I took to Central was six lanes of highway filled with people of all ages, in the best of spirits and as orderly as could be. It was quite exhilarating. - David James Islanders Bulletin Board The Islanders Bulletin Board has been suspended for maintenance.
