Dear UISG Families,
It was a pleasure to welcome all the parents on campus this week, from the IFOL t-shirt workshop and theatre performances to the coffee parent session this morning! Your presence and engagement are very welcome at UISG and make our community thrive. We are deeply appreciative of all the parents and teachers who volunteered their time and energy to make these events successful.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to extend a warm invitation for you to join our upcoming International Festival of Lights (IFOL) next Saturday, December 7, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
It’s an excellent opportunity to connect with other families, experience the unique learning environment we have at UISG, and engage with Guangzhou’s international community. We look forward to seeing you there and continuing to build our vibrant school community together.
Yours in Education,
Dr. Daniel Mullen

Friday November 29th
Can you believe that it is the end of November already? This semester has flown by so quickly!
As it’s American Thanksgiving this week, it’s a good time for everyone to reflect on what they are thankful for. This semester, I’m thankful for such a welcoming UISG community. You’ve all made me transition a very smooth one and I’m very grateful for this. What are you thankful for this semester?
Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books is back!! And the books are in the library!!
For those new to the Battle of the Books, this is a competition for Years 4 and 5 where they read a list of books and then in teams of 6 they compete with other schools to answer questions about all the books. One way of supporting your children is to scan the QR codes and watch the book trailers together. Which of these books are your children interested in reading? Go check them out from the library once they have decided!

图书大战
图书大战回归了！！书籍都在图书馆里！！
对于不了解“图书大战”的家长来说，这是一项针对4年级和5年级学生的比赛，他们阅读一份书单，然后以6人为一组与其他学校竞争回答有关所有书籍的问题。支持您的孩子的其中一种方式是扫描二维码并一起观看图书预告片。您的孩子有兴趣阅读这些书中的哪一本呢？一旦他们决定了，就去图书馆看看吧！

Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Arts at UISG
This week has been an important one in the MYP Theatre classes, as each group has had a culminating performance: Year 7 with “Half hour Hamlet”, Year 9 with Shakespeare monologues and Year 10 with The Trojan Women. The opportunity to perform fits with one of our schoolwide aims of ensuring a safe environment for students to thrive.
Speaking of performances, there will be a whole afternoon of performances at the IFOL on Saturday December 7th. It is sure to be a great event, so do get your tickets as soon as you can.
Visual art also “performed” in an ‘Art Battle’ competition at CISG this week, and our students created some good artwork under the time pressure situation:
From one arts ‘battle’ to another: The Battle of the Books, coming up next Semester. This is a competition between local schools where students showcase their reading prowess and teamwork! The books are in the library and details are available from Mr. Luker.
Connections with the Community
Another schoolwide goal is to build connections with the community, and this has also been a highlight of this week. On Monday we took over 100 students to UISZ for our first ever combined Hong Kong and China University fair. This excellent opportunity, organised by the college counsellors on both campuses, gave students the chance to hear panel discussions on important topics and then ask follow-up questions at the university stands. For students in Years 10-12, building their awareness and understanding of college life really helps to build their power to make appropriate decisions. We also had our Secondary Coffee Morning today, with a focus on Language and Literature, led by our Head of Department, Fred Lemesle, and supported by Korean, Chinese and Japanese teachers. It was fascinating to see the inquiry into universal elements of Fairy Tales and hear the different cultural experiences. Thank you to Ms. Fred for organising, the languages teachers for supporting, and to the parents who came and participated so actively.

亲爱的家长和监护人,
UISG艺术
本周是MYP戏剧班重要的一周，因为每个小组都有一个高潮表演：7年级的“半小时哈姆雷特”，9年级的莎士比亚独白和10年级的“特洛伊女人”。表演机会符合我们全校的目标之一，即确保一个安全的环境，让学生茁壮成长。
说到表演，12月7日（周六）下午将有一系列学生表演。这肯定是一场盛大的活动，所以一定要尽快买票哦。
视觉艺术也在本周的CISG“艺术之战”比赛中“表演”，我们的学生在时间紧迫的情况下创作了一些优秀的艺术作品：
从一场艺术“战斗”到另一场：下学期的“书籍之战”。这是一场当地学校之间的比赛，学生们可以在这里展示他们的阅读能力和团队合作能力！书在图书馆，详情可咨询Mr Luker。
与社区的联系
全校的另一个目标是与社区建立联系，这也是本周的一大亮点。星期一，我们带了100多名学生到UISZ参加我们首次联合举办的香港和中国大学的博览会。这个极好的机会，由两个校区的大学辅导员组织，让学生有机会听到关于重要话题的小组讨论，然后在大学展台上提出后续问题。对于10-12年级的学生来说，建立他们对大学生活的认识和理解确实有助于增强他们决策能力。今天，我们还举行了“中学咖啡早晨”活动，重点是语言和文学，由该部门主管老师Ms Fred Lemesle领导，并由韩国，中国和日本老师提供支持。看到对童话中普遍元素的探索，听到不同的文化体验，真是令人沉醉。感谢Ms Fred的组织，语言老师们的支持，以及到场积极参与的家长们。
家长信息会
- 12月4日（周三）——了解DP（重点是10年级家长），8:30 – 9:30在行政大厅
