January 30, 2026: Advancing Academics, Celebrating Arts & Athletics, and Strengthening Regional Leadership

亲爱的 UISG 社区,

Following the wonderful success of Book Week, we launch straight into another dynamic week for the start of February. I want to thank everyone who joined us for the Book Character Dress Up Parade and the ACAMIS Basketball Tournament at UISG.

Next week is packed with key events. Our Grade 10s will make important DP choices, and athletic, artistic, and academic events fill the schedule: MS Volleyball hosts ISA, a CNY Art Exhibit opens in the Admin Hall, Theatre Week begins with Grade 7’s “Comedy of Errors”, and the PYP CNY Performance on Thursday at 13:30 in the MFH.

Beyond the campus walls, our students will compete in the ACAMIS Art Battle, Robotics Nationals in Shanghai和一个 swimming invite in Guangzhou.

On a broader note, I was proud to represent UEF and our two schools at the Education Bureau of Guangzhou’s Spring Roundtable Symposium yesterday. With over 28 schools and bureau officials present, it was a prime opportunity to share UISG’s academic successes, strengthen our longstanding positive relationship with the Education Bureau of Guangzhou, and advocate for collaboration on our programs. It reaffirms our position as a leading regional institution.

Let’s carry last week’s positive energy, and I thank you for your continued partnership in making UISG an exceptional place of learning.

致以最诚挚的问候,

K1’s Community Explorer Day: Learning Roles, Building Confidence

Our K1 students embarked on a wonderful journey of discovery during their latest field trip! This hands-on experience brought our current Unit of Inquiry, “How We Organize Ourselves,” to vibrant life, allowing the children to explore the central idea that people have different roles in the community in a tangible and exciting way.

It was a joy to witness our young learners showcase their growing independence. Managing their own belongings and navigating the trip with such enthusiasm, they chatted keenly about the various helpers and workplaces they observed, connecting their classroom learning to the world outside.

The highlight was our visit to the incredible neoBio Play Space, a purpose-built environment for immersive role-play. Here, the children dove into simulated professional worlds with wonderful focus. They became caring veterinarians in a clinic complete with an operating room and X-rays, experienced the excitement of being jockeys, and took on roles as engineers, firefighters, grocers, and ice cream artisans. A particularly engaging part of the simulation was the chance to “earn” through one job and thoughtfully “spend” on another activity, making personal choices about their exploration.

More than just fun, the day strengthened their understanding of community structures and nurtured their confidence as capable, curious learners. They returned beaming with stories and a deeper, experiential grasp of how societies function.

We are immensely proud of our K1 explorers and so grateful for experiences that turn abstract concepts into unforgettable, hands-on learning. Well done, everyone!

Book Week : A Chapter of Joy & Imagination

BOOK WEEK

This week, our school transformed into a vibrant celebration of stories, imagination, and community during our annual Book Week. It was a fantastic journey that saw the campus buzzing with literary enthusiasm.

The week kicked off with the creative challenge of the Door Decorating Competition, with classrooms transforming their entrances into giant book covers and tributes to beloved authors. This creativity was matched by the quiet dedication of our Mystery Readers, who brought surprise and delight to classrooms with their chosen tales throughout the week.

The spirit of shared reading was at the heart of the week. The MFH became a sanctuary of silence during our DEAR session, where the entire primary school enjoyed the simple pleasure of getting lost in a good book together.

Interactive fun was around every corner. Students tested their knowledge with Book Bingo cards and embarked on a Library Scavenger Hunt. Lunchtimes were alive with activity: from the artistic flair displayed in the Redesign a Book Cover competition to the dramatic guesses during Charades and Pictionary. The week also focused on giving stories new life through our Book Swap, ensuring beloved books found new readers.

The celebration ended on Friday with the Book Character Parade. The basketball court became a runway of literary heroes, villains, and icons, showcasing incredible effort and creativity. Following the parade, the Door Gallery Walk allowed everyone to appreciate the stunning artistic efforts that had blossomed throughout the week.

It was a truly wonderful celebration of why we read — to learn, to imagine, and to connect. Thank you to every student, teacher, and staff member who participated with such energy and spirit. The stories we shared and the memories we created will undoubtedly inspire us until next year’s chapter unfolds.

2026年1月30日：学术精进、艺体风采与区域领导力巩固

亲爱的UISG大家庭，

在书香周活动取得圆满成功之后，我们马不停蹄地开启了二月第一个充满活力的新一周。在此，我想感谢所有参与图书角色装扮游行及ACAMIS篮球锦标赛的每一位成员。

下周的日程同样精彩。十年级学生将做出重要的国际文凭大学预科课程（DP）选择，同时，体育、艺术和学术活动也将贯穿一周：中学部将举办ISA排球赛；行政大厅将举行中国农历新年艺术展；戏剧周将以七年级的《错误的喜剧》拉开帷幕；小学部（PYP）的中国农历新年表演将于周四下午1:30在多功能厅举行。

在校外，我们的学生也将参与到多项赛事：ACAMIS艺术大赛、上海全国机器人竞赛以及广州游泳邀请赛。

更值得一提的是，昨天我很荣幸代表UEF集团及我们旗下的两所学校，出席了广州市教育局举办的春季圆桌研讨会。现场有超过28所学校的代表及教育局官员出席。此次会议为我们提供了一个分享UISG的学术成就的绝佳机会，进一步巩固我们与广州市教育局长期以来的良好关系，并就我们的课程项目倡导合作。这再次肯定了我们作为本地区领先学校的地位。

让我们延续上周的积极能量，同时感谢各位持续的携手同行，将UISG打造成一个卓越的学习之地。

此致，

K1探索之旅：体验社区角色，见证成长自信

在最近的实地考察中，我们K1班的孩子们踏上了一段精彩的发现之旅！这次亲身体验让当前探究单元“我们如何组织自己”变得生动鲜活，让孩子们以一种具体而令人兴奋的方式，深入理解了“人们在社区中承担不同角色”这一核心思想。

我们欣喜地看到这些小小学习者展现出日益增长的独立性。他们管理自己的物品，满怀热情地参与全程，热切地讨论观察到的各类社区帮手和工作场所，将课堂学习与外部世界紧密相连。

最精彩的部分是参观令人惊叹的“奈尔宝互动游戏空间”。这个为沉浸式角色扮演打造的专属环境，让孩子们全神贯注地投入到模拟职业世界中。他们成了诊所里关怀备至的兽医，那里配有手术室和X光机；体验了担任赛马骑师的兴奋感；还化身工程师、消防员、杂货店主和冰淇淋师。模拟环节中特别引人入胜的是，孩子们有机会通过一份工作“赚取”体验币，并深思熟虑地“消费”于另一项活动，在探索中做出属于自己的选择。
