August 22, 2025: A Note of Thanks and a Look Ahead! 一则关于感谢与展望的信息
Dear UISZ Community,
As we close another vibrant week, I am filled with gratitude for the positive energy that continues to define our school. It has been wonderful to see our students so settled and engaged in their new routines, building strong connections with their teachers and peers. The UISZ Student Council led assembly was a great way to kick-off the year!
A special thank you to the many parents who joined us for last week’s Parent Coffee Morning. Your partnership is deeply valued, and we look forward to continuing the conversation at next week’s ‘Coffee with the Head of School‘.
I’m also excited to share that yesterday, I conducted a site visit to our new athletic facilities, which are currently in the full swing of completion. It was fantastic to see the progress being made. We will share more detailed updates and photos at next week’s meeting, but I can already say the future of athletics at UISZ is very bright!
This strong foundation of partnership and progress ensures we are poised for a fantastic year of learning and growth ahead.
Wishing you all a restful and joyful weekend.
Yours in Education,

Student Council Assembly – August 13, 2025
学生会集会-2025年8月13日
Karen Elaine Castro Rouanet
Head of Primary/ PYP Coordinator
Last week’s updates:
What a vibrant and inspiring week we’ve had in Primary! I’m delighted to share a glimpse into all the wonderful learning, leadership, and community spirit that has filled our halls.
We began the week with our ManageBac information session, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the parents who attended. Your engagement in understanding how to follow your child’s learning journey online is truly valued. I encourage everyone to log in regularly and explore the fantastic posts, photos, and student work being shared by our teachers.
This week also marked a special milestone: the inaugural meeting of our Primary Student Council. I was so proud to see these thoughtful student leaders come together with energy and purpose. They shared creative ideas for school assemblies, upcoming celebrations, and even offered meaningful feedback on their learning experiences. Their enthusiasm, empathy, and sense of responsibility remind us that student voice is a powerful force in shaping our school culture.
Our teachers also dove into their first Professional Development session of the year, focusing on the Writer’s Workshop model. Students are already writing stories, persuasive pieces, and reflective journals, don’t miss the wonderful examples on ManageBac!
We were also thrilled to welcome Ms. Maria to our August Nature Art Workshops. Originally from Portugal, Ms. Maria brings a wealth of experience in the IB PYP. Her passion for integrating art, nature, and inquiry was evident from day one. It was a joy to walk through the classrooms and see students creating, exploring, and making connections across subjects.
Week-Ahead:
At UISZ, we believe in building a strong, joyful school community, and we’re excited to launch two new monthly traditions that celebrate who we are:
School Spirit Days:
Each month, we’ll celebrate a fun and creative theme to bring our school family together. On August 27th, we’ll start our celebration with the theme Crazy Hair Day! Students, staff, and visiting parents are all invited to show off their wildest, most imaginative hairstyles. Expect pigtails with flair, rainbow wigs, and maybe even a spaghetti nest or two!
Monthly Learner Profile Student Awards:
We’re also launching our IB Learner Profile Awards to recognize students who consistently embody one of the IB attributes. Each teacher will observe and nominate one “Student of the Month” per class. These students will be honored with a certificate during our monthly PYP Assembly, and their stories will be shared in our newsletters and on social media.
If your child is selected, we’ll notify you in advance so you can join us for the celebration!
We’re so excited for the weeks ahead, full of curiosity, creativity, and connection. Thank you for your continued partnership in making UISZ a place where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired.
Warmly,
Ms. Karen
上周的更新：
这真是充满活力和启发性的一周！我很高兴能与大家分享我们小学部这周所经历的精彩学习、领导力培养和社区精神。
本周我们以 ManageBac 信息说明会拉开序幕，我要向所有参与的家长致以诚挚的感谢。你们积极参与了解如何在线跟踪孩子学习进程的热情，让我们倍感珍视。我鼓励大家定期登录系统，探索教师们分享的精彩帖子、照片及学生作品。
本周还有一个特别的里程碑：我们的小学学生会成立大会。看到这些富有思想的学生领袖们以饱满的热情和明确的目标齐聚一堂，我深感自豪。他们提出了关于学校集会、即将到来的庆祝活动等方面的创意想法，甚至对自己的学习经历提出了有意义的反馈。他们的热情、同理心和责任感提醒我们，学生的声音是塑造学校文化的重要力量。
我们的老师也投入了本学年首次专业发展培训，重点探讨“作家工作坊”教学模式。学生们已开始撰写故事、说服性文章及反思日记，别错过ManageBac平台上的精彩范例！
我们非常高兴地欢迎 Ms. Maria 加入我们八月的自然艺术工作坊。 Ms. Maria 来自葡萄牙，在IB PYP领域拥有丰富的经验。 从第一天起，她对将艺术、自然与探究相结合的热情就显而易见。走在教室里，看到学生们在创作、探索并建立跨越学科联系，真是令人愉悦。
下周精彩内容：
在UISZ，我们致力于打造一个团结、充满活力的学校社区，并激动地推出两项全新的每月传统活动，以庆祝我们的独特身份：
学校精神日：
每月我们将围绕一个有趣且富有创意的主题展开庆祝活动，旨在凝聚学校大家庭。8月27日，我们将以“疯狂发型日”为主题开启庆祝活动！学生、教职员工及到访家长均可参与，展示自己最狂野、最具创意的发型。届时将出现充满个性的辫子、彩虹假发，甚至可能出现一两个“意大利面巢”造型！
每月学习者特质学生奖项：
我们还将推出IB学习者特质奖，以表彰那些始终如一地体现IB核心素养的学生。每位教师将观察并提名每个班级中的一名“本月之星”。这些学生将在每月PYP集会上获得证书，他们的故事将在我们的简讯和社交媒体上分享。
若您的孩子入选，我们将提前通知您，以便您能参与我们的庆祝活动！
我们对即将到来的几周充满期待，这里充满了好奇心、创造力和联系。感谢您一直以来的支持，让UISZ成为一个让每个孩子都感到被关注、被支持和被启发的地方。
致以诚挚的问候,
Ms. Karen

Dear DSE Families,
I hope this message finds you well. As we wrap up another productive week, I would like to share some highlights and provide a glimpse into what lies ahead for our school community.
Highlights of the Past Week：
1.ECA Sports Training and Interest Classes
This week, we successfully launched our Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) Sports Training program. It was inspiring to see students engage with enthusiasm and energy. Additionally, we are actively collecting information from both students and teachers about their talents and interests to further expand our range of interest-based classes. We believe these opportunities will help students explore their passions and develop new skills.
2.Celebrating Patrick’s Birthday
Our school community came together to celebrate the birthday of one of our students, Patrick. It was a joyful occasion that highlighted the warmth and camaraderie among our students and staff. These moments strengthen the bonds within our school family and create a supportive and nurturing environment for everyone.
3.D11 Curriculum Alignment
Our D11 teachers have been working diligently to ensure a smooth transition for both new and returning students. The focus is on aligning the curriculum to meet academic requirements by the end of this year. This proactive approach will help students stay on track and achieve their learning goals.
The Week Ahead：
1.2026 DSE Exam Registration
Next week, we will begin collecting student information and initiating the registration process for the 2026 DSE examinations. We kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that all necessary details are provided accurately and promptly. Our academic team will be available to assist with any questions or concerns.
2.Welcoming New Students
We are thrilled to welcome more outstanding students to our school community. Their diverse talents and perspectives will undoubtedly enrich our learning environment. Let us extend a warm welcome to them and their families.
3.Promoting Study-Life Balance
In the coming weeks, we will place a stronger emphasis on helping students achieve a healthy study-life balance. We encourage students to focus intently during study time and dedicate their free time to physical activities, social interactions, and reducing dependence on electronic devices. We believe this approach will contribute to their overall well-being and academic success.
A Final Note
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education. Together, we can create a nurturing and dynamic environment where every student thrives.
With enthusiasm,
Austin Zhang

Dear UISZ Community,
A warm and enthusiastic welcome to the 2025–2026 academic year! It has been a joy to see our campus buzzing with energy as we begin this new chapter together. A special welcome to our boarding students who have returned to the Dragon House—you’ve brought its heart to life once again.
This year, we are proud to be home to a larger and more diverse community than ever, with a record number of new students joining us. This growth promises a dynamic, enriching environment where friendship, collaboration, and shared learning can thrive. We are excited to see the connections that will blossom throughout the year.
Our first week was dedicated to building a strong community foundation. Students dove eagerly into orientation and social activities—from friendly matches on the sports field to casual gatherings during the ECA block. It was inspiring to see new friendships form and existing bonds grow even stronger.
A few highlights to note:
· Core Sports Program: Our competitive teams began official training last Thursday. We wish all our athletes success as they develop their skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
· ECA Activities: Our extensive lineup of Extra-Curricular Activities will launch in September. We’re putting the final touches on a diverse range of clubs, arts, and special interest groups designed to inspire every passion and talent.
A detailed list of ECA offerings—including descriptions and sign-up instructions—will be shared with all students and parents soon. Please keep an eye on your inbox and our school communication platforms for updates.
Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable moments together.
Warmly,
Mostafa RIhan

在开学的第一周，我们致力于构建强大的社群基础。学生们热情地投入到迎新活动和社交活动中——从运动场上的友好比赛到课后活动时段的随意聚会。看到新的友谊逐渐形成，旧的联系愈发牢固，这真是令人振奋。
这里有一些亮点值得一提：
·核心体育项目：我们的竞技团队在上周四开始了正式训练。我们祝愿所有运动员们在发展技能、团队合作以及运动精神的过程中取得成功。

Dear MYP and DP Families,
We’ve had a busy start to the year with MYP and DP students meeting their new teachers and settling into their new classroom locations. We have a wonderful new group of staff members, and they are greatly enjoying getting to know our student groups.
Student leaders:
·School Captains: Anna Jung and Emily Kim
·Service Captain: Leo Park
·Art Captain: Jasmine Kim
·Sport Captain: Leo Gao
·Boarding Captains: Emily Hong and Jack Zhang
Our captains successfully ran the first combined Secondary assembly for the year. As part of this assembly, they organised an activity that resulted in IB and DSE staff and students getting involved and ended with the audience in fits of laughter as they watched. It was a great way for us to meet each other for the first time. We’ve also held two House meetings so far this year to maximise the time students have to get to know their DSE counterparts.
Class representatives:
Class representatives have been selected this week through elections in Advisory time. The student leaders, led by our School Captains Anna Jung and Emily Kim, held the first Student Council meeting this Wednesday. They are already hard at work, and we thank them for their diligence.
This year’s Secondary Class Representatives are:
Year 6: Isabella Zhang & Torry Tong
Year 7: Catherine Yang
Year 8: Chris Yun
Year 9: Rene Liu
Year 10: Annabelle Chen
DP1: Leo Deng
D10: Chloe Lin (林恩善)
D11: Cody Feng (冯俊霖）& Patrick Lai (赖俊企）
D12 Donald Fok (霍柏钧）& Cindy Lin (林芳瑜）
Staff:
We have a great combination of staff members this year. We have welcomed 10 new staff members, and they have been hard at work learning all the aspects of UISZ life. We also have 8 returning staff members who have been instrumental in helping with new staff orientation. Thank you.
On Monday, IB Secondary teachers met to learn more about the ManageBac changes that have happened over the summer. Teachers have been putting in a lot of work to get information correctly loaded onto ManageBac to help with home/school communication.
Ms Alya and Ms Lauren, the DP and MYP Coordinators respectively, have been impressed with the professionalism, positivity, and camaraderie of our staff. We have a great team this year, and we’re excited to see what we will achieve together.
Week ahead
Next weekend, a group of staff and students are headed to PACKMUN hosted by UISG. This Model United Nations conference will run from Friday the 29th to Sunday the 31st. It is the first MUN event of this school year. The UISZ MUN Secretary General, Year Eleven student Leo Park, is hard at work coordinating UISZ’s participation in this event.
This week is our first full week of timetabled classes. Students have been wholeheartedly involved in the learning experiences on offer. Every classroom I’ve visited this week has had student engagement on full display. I hope parents are proud of the diligent and principled way that the IB Secondary students have settled into a new year of learning.
Kind regards,
Ms Lauren Mackay

今年，我们拥有一支非常出色的教师队伍。我们迎来了10位新老师，他们一直在努力了解 UISZ 生活的方方面面。我们还有8位返校老师，他们在帮助新老师熟悉工作环境方面发挥了重要作用。谢谢你们！
在周一，IB 中学部的老师们聚在一起，更深入地熟悉了 ManageBac 系统在暑假期间所发生的变化。老师们投入了大量精力，将信息准确无误地上传到 ManageBac 上，以此促进家校之间的沟通。
我们教师团队的专业精神、积极态度和团队精神让 DP 课程主任 Alya 老师和 MYP 课程主任 Lauren 老师影响深刻。今年，我们有着非常棒的团队，我们期待着即将在未来一同取得的成就。
一周展望
下周末，一群由老师和学生组成的队伍将前往参加 UISG 主办的 PACKMUN。这次模拟联合国大会将于 29 日（星期五）至 31 日（星期日）举行。这是这学年的首次模拟联合国大会活动。我校的模拟联合国秘书长——十一年级学生 Leo Park 正在努力协调 UISZ 在此次活动中的参与事宜。
这是我们完全按课程表上课的第一周。同学们全身心投入到老师安排的学习体验中。我走访的每一间教室都展现着同学们的积极参与。我衷心希望家长们能为 IB 中学部的同学们以如此勤奋和严谨的态度开启新学年而感到骄傲。
