November 21, 2025: Partnerships and Forward Progress
Dear UISG Community,
This has been a particularly fruitful week at UISG, filled with vibrant activities that showcased our students’ many talents and achievements. We celebrated our secondary performers in the talent show, demonstrated teamwork during primary sports day, and enjoyed meaningful parent engagement that strengthens our community partnership. Two of our UISG Mathlete Teams took 3rd place in the ACAMIS Math Olympiad in Hong Kong last weekend!
I want to express my sincere appreciation to all parents who attended the UPTA All Parents Meeting today. Your active participation strengthens our partnership and enhances our school community.
Next week brings more highlights including the Grade 9 theatre performances, and our Grade 12 students taking their graduation photos at the AIO. Our MS Touch Rugby team will compete at AISG on Saturday the 29th. We also look forward to welcoming prospective families at Saturday’s Fawn Green Education Exhibition.
As a reminder, UISG will be closed with no classes next Friday, November 28th, 2025.
Your ongoing support and partnership are a valuable part of our school!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Friday November 21st
Dear UNC, EY and Primary Families,
November has been a very busy month with so many different events — and what a joyful month it was! We wrapped up our string of activities with three highlights:
- Primary Sports Day — energetic, fun, and full of sportsmanship.
- Extracurricular Activities (ECA) Fair — students exploring new interests and sharing their talents.
- Family Picnic — a chilly but cozy gathering where families connected with one another.
A heartfelt thank you to all parents who came. It was wonderful to see you involved, cheering on students, and joining in the fun—especially when parents and caregivers outdid the teachers in the tug-of-war!
Thank you for your continued support, enthusiasm, and partnership. Events like these are successful because of our community — your presence makes a real difference.

Talent Show
13 different acts. 7 styles of performance. 6 different Grade levels. 24 very talented performers.
What an enjoyable and impressive event. The hours of dedication and practice from all the performers kept the whole Secondary school entertained for 80 amazing minutes. Student performers proved themselves to be Risk-takers, Communicators and Balanced.
Grade 9 student leaders for Primary Sports Day
Our Grade 9 students had the opportunity for a truly authentic PE assessment, as well as some genuine Service in Action, when they led the activities for Primary Sports Day. The connections the Grade 9s were making with the younger students was really lovely to see, and it also gave them a chance to put their leadership skills into action.
Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) Fair
With the Season 1 ECAs coming to an end this week, students have the opportunity to sign up for Season 2s wide variety of activities. Whether building on a skill, or discovering a new passion, we strongly recommend students to sign up for these fantastic offerings for the second season. I ask parents to encourage their children to get involved.
ACAMIS Maths Olympiad
Our DP mathletes had a successful tournament in Hong Kong last weekend, with some team awards as well as some individual achievements amongst a very strong field of fellow mathematicians.
