What would a weekend in Hong Kong be without a Sunday Brunch? We are working towards booking a number of venues. Details will be available early 2017. However, please sign up to indicate your interest to help us plan with selected venues.
How to get tickets
Go to the website anniversary.is.island.edu.hk on 7 November 2016, after 4pm Hong Kong Time. Fill in the details in the form on the site.
Gala tickets at all levels are restricted in number, so it will be first come first served. We will maintain a wait-list.
Once you have signed this form, and received the confirmation email, you have exactly TWO WEEKS to pay.
There are two methods.
- Mail or deliver to reception a cheque (HK dollars only) direct to Island School in the name of Island School. Note that post from Europe or North America will take longer than 2 weeks and arrive too late. You will have to use the second method.
- Make payment by bank transfer to our bank account:

Please ensure that you REFERENCE any cheques or bank transfers with your full name and the purchase number that you receive on the confirmation email.
If we do not receive your payment within the TWO WEEK period, we will unfortunately have no choice but to remove your name from the list. If you have applied for Gold or Silver tickets and those are not available, we will allocate you a Standard ticket (subject to availability).
