Yesterday was the International Day of Happiness, and here at UISG, we have many things to be happy about!
How was your day?
It can be hard for children to share information with parents about their day. In fact when parents ask ‘ How was your day?’ often the response is ‘nothing’, a blank stare or even walking away. A great initiative in K1 to help parents know more about what is happening in school is on the poster below and we think it could be useful for all parents. K1 are also using of story bracelets to prompt students in telling stories about their day.
Bus Contacts
Just some bus updates…
For any inquiries for the normal 3:30 bus, please contact schoolbus@uisgz.org
For any inquiries for the late bus after ECAs, please contact jliang@uisgz.org
School Uniform
As the weather is changing we are noticing some students are choosing to wear their own clothes. Just a reminder that children should be wearing school uniform each day unless it is a special event. Thank you for your collaboration with this.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
The coming week sees a couple of significant events taking place at school. On Wednesday in the MFH from 1:30 – 3:20pm we have our Careers and College Fair – “Life After High School” – with industry experts, university representatives and careers booths. Thank you to those parents who are giving up their time to support our students. If you are curious (and maybe interested in helping out next year) please do come along. Then on Thursday, also in the MFH, from 9.30 – 11, we have our Year 11s Theory of Knowledge (TOK) exhibition. TOK is a core component of the Diploma programme, and is one of the unique aspects of the DP that sets it apart from other education systems. You are also invited to come along and find out more.
In an exciting new experience for our classical musicians, this weekend sees the school orchestra head to SWIS in Shenzhen to join with other young musicians in a weekend of music making.
Personal Project Exhibition
The Personal Project exhibition this week was a wonderful showcase of the high-level thinking, creativity and communication skills of our Year 10 students, as they displayed their products and talked proudly and effectively about the process they went through in achieving their Learning Goal and their Product Goal. Congratulations to the Year 10 students.
