The WIS ID Coin Challenge 2017

West Island School introduced its very first Inter-Dynasty Coin Challenge last week. With this new and exciting challenge, students had the chance to compete for their Dynasty during the Dynasty Assembly on 10 February 2017.

Tutor Groups had to go about sourcing HKD loose change, and the event culminated with all the coins being laid out in a specially designed Dynasty area. Each Dynasty (year group) were be given a time slot where they have to lay as many coins as a tutor team as they can in their area, in the given time.

The event proved a huge success with the total money raised hitting $26,611 HKD! The Dynasty results were as follows:

1st Han = $6,202 HKD
2nd Qing = $4,624 HKD
3rd Yuan = $4,195 HKD
4th Ming = $4,003 HKD
5th Song = $4.002 HKD
6th Tang = $3,585 HKD

All money raised on the day will be donated to each Dynasties assigned charity:

Crossroads – Han
Food Angel – Ming
Society for the Relief of Disabled Children (SRDC) – Song
Kowloon Street Sleepers and Feeding HK – Qing
Overseas Community Partners – Yuan
Overseas Community Partners – Tang

A huge thank you to everyone for their generosity and efforts on the day. Lets get saving for next year’s ID Coin Challenge!
