When we return on Monday, December 1, we hit the ground running. We are adjusting the format of this ‘Week Ahead’ section to align with the feedback shared by parents—thank you for your input! Here is a streamlined look at the action-packed schedule

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. 

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. 

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. 

Happy Friday and Character Day! I would like to share a highlight from this week that underscores our school’s growing connections with premier universities in Guangzhou. Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking at Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University (GPNU), to present to over 80 future teachers and faculty on the power of an IB education. The students and leadership at GPNU are eager to build stronger connections with UISG for future collaboration and exchange of ideas.    

Ultimate Uni-Fair 2025-2026 was wonderful to have so many engaged UISG and UISZ families exploring future pathways with our university representatives; your presence made the event a tremendous success.  

The week culminates in a major highlight: our annual UISG Uni Fair next Friday, the 24th, where we are proud to host nearly 100 universities from over 15 countries around the world. It is a week that perfectly captures our community’s spirit, from foundational learning to future planning. We look forward to sharing it with you. 

Our teachers and staff are energized and looking forward to welcoming students back for a successful resumption of school. We can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces back on campus and to feel the vibrant energy our students bring to our community. 

First and foremost, we have been closely monitoring the weather and upcoming typhoon alerts. Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the best experience possible for our students, the secondary camps for Grades 6–10 have been postponed. We will communicate new dates as soon as they are confirmed. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we prioritize the safety of our community.
