Dear UISG Families,
As we step into the final week of November, I am excited to share a series of engaging events and activities that our students and families can look forward to. On November 25, we will take part in the HK University Fair at UISZ for our Year 10-12 students. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to explore their higher education options.
The week will also be filled with exciting athletic events, starting with the HS Basketball GISSA Championship on November 26 at AISG for boys and BASIS for girls, running from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We will also have our Theatre Performance Week featuring our Year 7 students, followed by the Year 9 and Year 10 performances throughout the week.
On November 28, our U9 Basketball Championship will occur at UISG for boys and ISA for girls, and on November 29, the U11 Championship will take place. Don’t forget our Parent Coffee Morning focused on language and literature that same day, providing an excellent opportunity for parents to connect and discuss these vital topics.
Lastly, please be reminded that ECA Season 2 sign-ups will close on November 29. We look forward to a productive and enriching week ahead!
Yours in Education,
Dr. Daniel Mullen

Dear Parents and Guardians,
UISG Talent Show 2024
28 very talented students, ranging from Year 8-12, took part in the fantastic UISG Talent Show 2024 on Thursday. There were bands, dancers, solo performers and a remarkable feat of memory. As well as being talented, these students clearly put a lot of time developing these skills. I know that this is also, to a large degree, thanks to the support from home. This home-school partnership is a vital part in developing our well-rounded and successful students.
Competitions
Art Battle competition, hosted by the Canadian International School of Guangzhou (CISGZ). This creative and dynamic event brings together young artists to showcase their talents and engage in a friendly artistic competition. The Art Battle is an exciting opportunity for students to express their creativity, work under time pressure, and demonstrate their creative skills in a supportive environment.
There are 2 science competitions coming up in December – the International Science Bee, which students have been practicing and preparing for in their ECA; an in-school Science competition run by Year 11 students. These competitions are a great way for students to hone their academic skills as well as building their CVs

亲爱的家长和监护人，
2024年UISG才艺表演
周四，来自8-12年级的28名才华横溢的学生参加了精彩的2024年UISG才艺表演。现场有乐队、舞蹈演员、独舞演员和非凡的回忆。这些学生不仅有天赋，而且显然花了很多时间来培养这些技能。我知道，这在很大程度上也要感谢来自家里的支持。这种家校合作是培养全面发展和成功学生的重要组成部分。
比赛
由广州加拿大国际学校（CISGZ）主办的艺术竞赛，这个充满创意和活力的活动将年轻艺术家聚集在一起，展示他们的才华，并参与一场友好的艺术比赛。艺术之战是一个令人兴奋的机会，让学生表达他们的创造力，在时间压力下工作，并在一个支持性的环境中展示他们的创造技能。
12月有两项科学竞赛即将到来——国际科学竞赛，学生们已经在ECA练习和准备；由11年级学生组织的校内科学竞赛。这些比赛是学生们磨练学术技能和丰富简历的好方法
