WOW, NAIS HK! Look how far we’ve travelled! 🤩

At the end of Week 7, we have collectively covered an incredible 13,755 MILES as a school community! 💙💛

To put that into perspective, that’s more than DOUBLE the distance from Hong Kong to London! ✈️🌍

Every run, walk, swim, cycle and movement challenge is helping us get closer to our goal. Every mile counts, and every single contribution is making a difference!

🔥 BUT WE’RE NOT FINISHED YET!

We have just 3 WEEKS LEFT to keep those miles climbing, push ourselves further and see just how far our NAIS HK community can go!

Can we smash our next milestone? Can we finish stronger than ever?

Let’s keep moving, keep motivating each other and keep those miles coming!

Y5 Football at TKO

Our Year 5 boys and girls recently took part in a friendly football tournament at TKO during our Games session. As the weather begins to cool down, it provided perfect conditions for some fantastic football. It was wonderful to see how much the players have progressed, with their skills, teamwork, and game understanding really starting to come together in match situations. Most importantly, the children displayed great enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and a positive attitude throughout the afternoon. They had a lot of fun, enjoyed the opportunity to play in a mini tournament! ⚽🎉

U11 Boys APSSO Football tournament – Struan Main

Last Wednesday, the U11 Boys Football teams travelled to Happy Valley to compete in the APSSO Football Tournament. We were delighted to take two teams to the event, with both squads demonstrating excellent determination, resilience, and enthusiasm throughout the day.

The tournament provided a fantastic opportunity for the boys to gain valuable match experience, develop their football skills, and continue growing as young sportsmen. Every player represented the school with pride, showing a positive attitude and a strong commitment to their teammates.

Throughout the competition, both staff members accompanying the teams were particularly impressed by the outstanding level of sportsmanship displayed by all players. The boys competed fiercely on the pitch while consistently showing respect towards opponents, officials, and one another.

It was a highly enjoyable and rewarding day for everyone involved, and we look forward to seeing how these talented young players continue to develop and what they can achieve in future competitions.

U14 Girls Football

U14 Girls Basketball

Final Score: 39 - 54 Loss

The girls faced a tough challenge against a well-organised Harrow side, who took an early lead and immediately put us under pressure. Throughout the match, our girls found themselves on the back foot as Harrow's high defensive line limited opportunities to build sustained attacks.

Despite this, the team showed great determination and enjoyed several spells of attacking pressure, coming close to equalising on multiple occasions.

Unfortunately, in the final quarter, Harrow was able to extend their advantage and ultimately put the game beyond our reach. The girls continued to battle until the final whistle and can be proud of the effort and resilience they demonstrated throughout the match.

In their second match of the week, our U14 Girls Basketball team took on a tough and physical Renaissance College side in a hard-fought contest.

It was a brilliant display of grit and offensive skills from start to finish. The girls showcased impressive elevation to dominate the glass, winning the majority of rebounds and converting them into crucial points. Our scoring versatility was on full display, with lay-ups, confident free throws, and great 3-pointers all contributing to our offensive momentum.

While our attacking play was sharp, the physical nature of the game highlighted an important area for us to work on: sharpening our defensive discipline to avoid giving away unnecessary fouls to the opposition. Nevertheless, the girls dug deep, fought hard until the final whistle, and secured a well-deserved 39–26 victory!

Well done to everyone who took the court today—you showed true resilience and represented NAIS HK with pride.

U14 Boys Basketball

The NAIS Knights took on Discovery College on Tuesday 3rd November and delivered a dominant performance from the opening tip off.

The Knights applied relentless full-court pressure early, forcing turnovers and converting them into fast-break points. Their defensive intensity set the tone for the game, allowing them to build a commanding lead and trigger the mercy rule in the second quarter with the score at 36-6.

Leading the scoring effort were Clay and Oscar, who both finished with 10 points, while Jasper added 8 points in an impressive all-round team performance.

U12 Boys Basketball

The U12 Boys got their season off to a fantastic start on Wednesday, 4 November, with a hard-fought 25–19 win against SASHK.

The opening two quarters were closely contested, with both teams battling for every basket. The Knights found their rhythm after the break, moving the ball quickly down the court and making the most of their scoring opportunities. Their energy and determination helped them pull ahead and secure a well-deserved victory.

A brilliant start for this new team—and plenty to build on. Go Knights!

U16 Boys Football

The U16 boys football team faced Stamford American in their opening game of the season.

Two well matched teams started competitively against each other with the hosts leading 2-0 at half time following some defensive mishaps.

At half time the discussion centred on play both in and out of possession.

Goals were scored at both ends with Shayne scoring on his debut for or Knights and Lucas rewarded for his high energy performance.

The final scoreline of 5-2 does not reflect how much possession and territory our u16s had. The return fixture in December will no doubt be another competitive fixture!
