K3 students explored global cultural celebrations in our “Where We Are in Place and Time” unit. We welcomed parents who shared the story of Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, explaining its history and significance in an accessible way. Children practiced writing their names in Hangeul, boosting fine motor skills and personal connection. They also crafted traditional Korean “Gat” hats and enjoyed making and tasting gimbap. This hands-on session fostered cultural appreciation and showcased wonderful community partnership.

The recent Primary Years Programme (PYP) open morning brought parents into the heart of school life, offering a meaningful chance to learn alongside their children and to witness classroom learning firsthand. Parents were eager not simply to observe, but to participate, to ask questions, and to understand how inquiry, transdisciplinary learning, and student agency come together each day.

October at UISG turned into a month-long creative sprint: students picked up pens every school day, sketched from prompts, and sharpened not just lines but habits. Inktober 2025 wasn’t only about producing inked pictures — it was about practice, risk-taking, and the focus that grows when artists show up every day.

What an incredible Season 1 for our Wolves! From hosting major tournaments to achieving podium finishes, our athletes showcased true spirit and skill.

On November 6, the MFH stage was once again filled with wonderful entertainment during the UISG Primary Talent Show. Neev Desai did a fabulous job of emceeing the afternoon of song, dance, movement and instrumental performances of our Grade 1-5 students. 

On Wednesday, November 5th, Utahloy International School Guangzhou proudly hosted the ISMAG Piano Competition 2025, a day filled with artistry, courage, and passion for music. The event brought together talented young pianists from across the ISMAG schools, each showcasing their dedication to the craft through stunning performances. 

This year, some dedicated Grade 8 Theatre students chose to read Harry Potter’s Care for Magical Creatures class textbook, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” written by Newt Scamander (and JK Rowling). This is a new tradition that takes place during the last week of October, as we bring the Performing Arts into the Atrium space for a lunchtime event. Miss L. chose a script reading because it often relieves the anxiety of improvisational theatre sports and speaking or reading English for those who are new to the language.

This past Monday, November 3rd, the Utahloy International School community once again had the privilege of hosting a world-leading institution. We were delighted to welcome Ms. Zorian Wong from The University of Hong Kong (HKU), who engaged with our students and parents in insightful sessions at both our UISZ and UISG campuses.
