Here at BISS Puxi, one of our core pillars is Internationalism. We strive for each and every one of our students to become global citizens, who can adapt and thrive in our ever-evolving world.
Our aim is to ensure that, as a school, we celebrate global cultural events that reflect our students, families and communities.
Throughout the month of October, we celebrated Black History Month across the school, with a wide range of cross-curricular activities. We focused on understanding the importance of Black History Month, recognising that in knowing the past, we can shape the future.
Our youngest learners in Early Years and Key Stage 1 enjoyed reading a diverse collection of books, such as Look Up! and Mae Among the Stars, inspired by real-life astronaut, Mae Jemison.
Students in Key Stage 2 studied a whole host of inspirational figures, such as Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks and even sports stars, such as Michael Jordan.
One of the highlights of Black History Month was being able to celebrate our very own sporting legend, Marlon Devonish, who hosted an interactive Q+A session, based on his life and achievements. Students from Years 3 to 6 were invited to share their own questions, creating an excellent opportunity for an open conversation on race, mental health and of course, winning an Olympic gold medal! Marlon’s new book, Our Race, was a central feature to our Black History Month stand and has become a firm fan favourite.
As a school, we are looking forward to continuing to go beyond events and deeply embed a diverse curriculum, so that we can empower our students and celebrate being globally connected.
The Year 7 residential trip was a resounding success, offering students a rich blend of educational and recreational activities. From exploring Tulou architecture to crafting bows and arrows, making food and tea, and engaging in exciting water activities, the students gained valuable skills, knowledge and memories. The trip not only enhanced their learning but also fostered personal growth and strengthened peer relationships.
The British International School Shanghai proudly celebrates the remarkable achievements of its IB Diploma students as they receive an array of extraordinary university offers. Among these stellar offers, a shining pinnacle stands tall—the University of Oxford, a testament to the exceptional academic prowess cultivated within the school's walls.
Assessment in Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is conducted through a TOK Exhibition and a 1600-word TOK essay. The TOK exhibition is an internal assessment component that is marked by the teacher and moderated by the IB. It is an excellent opportunity for students to explore what knowledge is and what impacts how we know things.
Transitioning from Primary to Secondary School is a significant milestone in a child's educational journey. To ease this transition and ensure a smooth start, many schools organise transition days that allow Primary students to experience Secondary School life before the new academic year begins.
