The boy had the chance to do the presentation probably only because he was a head boy. Head students were usually chosen (voted) by students and not by the school.
Then you may wonder, if the head boy has very flawed english, why let him do the presentation?
I cannot say for CIS, but that is the culture of most IS.
May be local elite schools would hand pick students to do these tasks, most IS would just let things flow along like it would be.
CIS is not a school where no chinese is used at school. There are a lot of local chinese families that put children in international schools. Even at ESF, with very strict policies that hinder non-native english families entering the system, parents can get around with these policies and there are lots of students that are not native english speakers.
So may be parents should stop fantasising that students at IS are perfect.

I heard similar comments before too. Some also from here in EK.

I heard from a real friend directly. But I won't take it too seriously. I don't expect that a headboy must be the most presentable one, 又不是選香港小姐。Moreoever I think many people tend to deify these top schools with over expectations and imagination.

I have very little expectations from head students, to be honest. However, I do believe they probably have the charisma and attract fellow students voting.
Every now and then, we see parents challenging the specific ability of a certain student. I would say that the quality of one or even two or three students can hardly represent the general quality of students.
Like I said, head students are not school chosen. And usually IS are not too concerned if they show the so-called "no so good" part of their school. So we always see students that are not exactly very good in sports teams, or competitions representing the school. In this case, they have allowed this boy to speak in front of outsiders.
In local schools, the school would have hand picked the best students to do this job.

True. In IS, one is able to join the school team of whatsoever as long as he or she wants. For my gal, she joins the school basketball team representing her school to have inter schools competitions. They didnt perform well indeed. But still, it's up to the student if she or he likes to join. This open the opportunity to every child who wants to do. I admire this culture as U will never see it happen in a local school. I understand the thread owner concerns why not the head boy of CIS speaks very good English. Maybe if there is a chance, check out other students from cis if they speak good English by observing at the school entrance during off school time. This is one of the possible and good way to feel it.

I sometimes wonder when will HK parents be truly open minded?
Would a parent have similar concerns if the head boy was from France and had strong French accents (and flaws) in his English?
Hong Kong is an interesting place.
