SCIS Hongqiao Girls & Boys Take Home Gold at ACAMIS Volleyball
The SCIS Hongqiao volleyball season started off with a full calendar of scheduled games. Through fun and competitive games, Varsity Volleyball coaches Melissa Kirwin and Derek Janssen quickly saw the areas of strengths and improvement to help both teams become effective and powerful.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, canceled games and lockdowns for team members left the future bleak. The light at the end of the tunnel was ACAMIS. With precision, power and passion, both the SCIS Hongqiao girls and boys teams took home the gold, adding another victory to the SCIS history of championships. Congratulations Dragons!
Bon Appétit with the Week of Taste at Shanghai French School!
Learning from each other and celebrating cultural diversity can be achieved through different methods, but one thing is certain – discovering new culinary flavors is and will clearly remain on our top three. What is better than exchanging recipes and sharing food?
On the Shanghai French School Qingpu and Yangpu campuses, students from kindergarten to Grade 5 worked in teams to create – among other things – cakes, salads and breakfast from around the world.
With the support and ideas of their teachers, these fun and tasty activities brought joy to everyone throughout their traditional week of taste!
BISS Diwali Celebrations in the Secondary School
Secondary students at BISS were treated to a literal taste of Diwali, the Festival of Lights.
There were student-led stalls with traditional snacks and drinks, and henna design, all with the backdrop of some amazing harmonium – similar to an accordion – performers. And, in the spirit of the festival, they had a bright and colorful non-uniform day, as well as some candle and rangoli making at lunchtimes in the week.
Internationalism is one of BISS Puxi’s Five Pillars of education, alongside Academic Excellence, Performing Arts, STEAM and Sport. Providing students with the opportunity to experience different cultures, customs and enjoy diversity in all its forms develops well-rounded, open-minded individuals. It allows students to develop a curiosity for the world they live in as well as respect for other cultures.
What also makes these events even more special is students’ willingness to get involved, try new things and show leadership skills in leading and planning these events.

Concordia Elementary School Service Club
Concordia Shanghai students in the Kids4Kids and Community co-curricular service club have been very busy trying to make a difference in their community. The students have accomplished some amazing projects since last year, including creating a teacher breakfast cart, producing a how-to video for new students, putting up inspirational posters around their division, and making greeting cards to welcome new students.
For their most recent project, the kids gave hot water bottles and tea to the school ayis and guards as a ‘thank you’ for all their hard work.
“Concordia has a rich history of giving back to others,” shares teacher and club advisor, Ms. Amy Thames. “Service gives us the opportunity to extend, nurture, and develop those values of gratitude and kindness, and I am very happy to be in a school that values service learning as much as I do.”

Britannica also marked Anti-Bullying week with a variety of assemblies and activities, starting with an Odd Socks Monday and culminating with Pyjama Friday. It was a great opportunity to encourage students to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique!
