On November 13th, our Grade 11 and 12 students were treated to a fantastic dose of inspiration and practical advice, straight from the source! We were thrilled to welcome back two brilliant members of the Class of 2025, Anna Oh and Claire Yoo, who have seamlessly transitioned to their exciting new university chapters.
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.
Looking ahead, we have an exciting week filled with important events, beginning with ECA sign-ups opening on Monday, allowing students to explore diverse co-curricular opportunities. Throughout the week, our focus will include Arts celebrations and Sports Days, followed by the ECA Fair on Thursday. The Secondary Talent Show, a highlight celebrating our students’ unique talents within our diverse student body: strengthening our community spirit. We also look forward to connecting with parents through various sessions scheduled throughout the week, further strengthening our vital home-school 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 campus, we have wonderful performances to enjoy. Our Middle School students will present their Grade 7 theater show on the 11th and Grade 8 theater show on the 12th. We will also celebrate our youngest learners at the K3 Korean Celebration on the 14th.
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.
