GSIS graduates excel in final exams
Members of this year's graduating class at German Swiss International School (GSIS) achieved an impressive set of results in their final exams and are now preparing to take up hard-won places at some of the world's leading universities.
With the school offering two distinct curriculums, 12 students in the German International Stream (GIS), who work towards the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (DIA), achieved an outstanding average score of 1.8. Most remarkably, one 16-year-old student, Samuel Cheung, was awarded a perfect Abitur score of 1.0, in the process becoming the youngest ever DIA graduate worldwide.Their counterparts in the English International Stream (EIS), who follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), were similarly successful. Among a 68-strong cohort, all of whom passed the exams, seven students, Edith Chan, Emily Chen, Maxwell Leung, Michael Tay, Nadia Venetz, Rachael Ng and Tarama Loges, attained a maximum IB score of 45 points.
In total, 51 students got 40 points or more, and six bilingual diplomas were awarded, two of them in English-German and the remaining four in English-Mandarin Chinese.
'We could not be any prouder of our students, whose outstanding results are testament to their ongoing commitment, incredibly hard work, and striving for excellence,' says GSIS principal Alexandra Freigang-Krause. 'Excellence comes in many forms and as a school we take pride in the achievements of all our students and celebrate their unique strengths and talents.'
Much of the success, of course, is down to the school's commitment to academic excellence and engagement. This is supported by a well-coordinated programme which guides students on key approaches to learning, helping to maintain motivation, understand essential concepts, and undertake independent study.

Hong Kong airport to reduce late-night use of south runway over noise complaints
Hong Kong airport will reduce late-night use of its south runway following noise complaints from Tuen Mun residents struggling to sleep when cargo aircraft pass overhead. Advertisement The Airport Authority confirmed the measure late on Thursday, hours after a lawmaker revealed its plan to address the complaints that a flight path over Tuen Mun's Siu Lam and So Kwun Wat neighbourhoods had caused significant noise pollution. The authority, the airport's operator, said that starting on August 7, the south runway, where cargo operations were usually busy late at night, would stop operating at 2am. 'After 2am, the south runway will be put on standby, while the north or centre runway will be in operation until 7am,' an authority spokesman said. Without mentioning the complaints, the authority said the airport had been implementing noise mitigation measures. Advertisement This included prohibiting aircraft that failed to meet relevant noise standards from landing or taking off and routing arriving flights between 11pm and 7am to approach from the southwest over water, he said.
