I’ve always believed Model UN teaches diplomacy. But at the recent U2NESCO conference hosted by our sister campus UISZ, I saw its true power: it uniquely builds quick thinking alongside deep empathy. This year’s conference pushed students to engage with complex global issues: climate justice for vulnerable nations, equitable access to education, disarmament, and the rights of refugees.
The corridors of Utahloy International School Guangzhou (UISG) recently resonated with a new kind of rhythm—the powerful, unfiltered pulse of student voice, awakened by the transformative visit of renowned Australian-Greek spoken word poet Luka Lesson. Over two dynamic days, Lesson moved beyond the role of guest speaker to become a more of a mentor, working intimately with students across a spectrum of language proficiencies and leaving an indelible mark on the school’s literary culture.
With Lunar New Year approaching, I would also like to gently remind everyone of this special time. The Year of the Horse symbolizes energy, perseverance, and forward momentum, qualities that resonate deeply with our community’s spirit.
ISMAG Rock Fest brought together music students from international schools across Guangzhou for an afternoon of community bonding and live rock music. It was hosted at The Goat in Panyu, a much-loved restaurant known for its indulgent cookie milkshakes and located near a dinosaur park and capybara petting zoo. The venue provided a setting that was informal, welcoming, and just unconventional enough to feel right for student performers stepping into the public eye.
As we begin the new year of 2026, I feel hopeful and excited for the semester ahead. It has been wonderful to see everyone back on campus, full of energy for the second half of the year!
First, I want to thank the many families who came to our recent Town Hall meetings about the strategic transition of UISZ to UISG for next August. Your presence and questions were very helpful. We are working hard to make this transition smooth and successful for every stakeholder, and we are happy to have your support.

At Utahloy International Schools, we are committed to evolving and improving to provide a robust, forward-looking education for every student. Today, we are excited to announce a strategic step designed to strengthen our community and continue our legacy of excellence for decades to come.
Utahloy students participated in the Shenzhen round of the World Scholar’s Cup on December 6 and 7, bringing energy, teamwork, and strong academic performance to a vibrant international competition. Under the guidance of lead coach Ms. Priyanka Pal and assistant coaches Xochitl Gonzalez and Hunt Luker, the students represented their school with enthusiasm and a commitment to cross-disciplinary learning. The event provided an arena where curiosity, collaboration, and intellectual risk-taking were rewarded, and Utahloy students seized the opportunity to grow both academically and personally.
As we turn the page to a new year, we extend our deepest gratitude to the entire UISG community for being part of our journey. May 2026 arrive with the vitality and promise of a spirited steed, carrying us forward into a chapter of health, happiness, and shared brilliance. Happy New Year to all!
The festivities began with heartwarming class performances, where each grade took the stage to share songs, dances, and holiday cheer. The joy and confidence of our wolf cubs lit up the space—what a beautiful way to kick off the celebration!
