NAIS Pudong Scholarships
Scholarship applications are now open.
We were excited to restart our Industry Expert sessions this week, offering a wonderful opportunity for specialists from a variety of professions to speak to our senior students about both their individual pathways and their specific industries.
Last academic year we started our programme late in Term Two and had speakers from the United Nations, General Motors, Pfizer and Shanghai United Law Firm, offering their insights across engineering, law, biotech and international relations. This broad approach gave our students a varied range of presentations, hopefully inspiring them to learn more about those areas.
Our first session this year saw Dr Jeorge Ducha - a paediatrician with almost 25 years of clinical experience and part of the Parkway healthcare group in Shanghai; talk to our students about his career, his current employer, and the medical profession in general. Students with an interest in healthcare careers found it incredibly useful to hear about pathways and opportunities within the profession, and we’d like to thank both Dr Ducha and Parkway for their support with this first session in school.
The Industry Expert sessions are just one branch of our career planning and university counselling services for our students, helping them to focus their studies and areas of interest as they head into core subject choices and ultimately university applications and course selections.
We are finalising our next sessions now and will release updated soon, but our next speaker in October will be part of Apple Inc, and will talk to our students about this global industry giant and the opportunities within the tech industry. In November, we’ll be joined by a pilot who will talk about the aviation industry, and after a break in December, our January speaker will be from the banking industry.
The summer trekking expedition of the year returned this month when a group of our students headed into the Swiss mountains for the experience of a lifetime!
We’re delighted to launch our brand new NAIS Pudong charity Advent Calendar for 2024, and you can pre-order yours now! The advent calendar is a centuries old tradition that helps with the exciting daily countdown through December to the Christmas celebrations on 24th and 25th. These days many calendars – including ours – contain delicious chocolates to be enjoyed each day.
Following a rigorous selection process including letter-writing, public-speaking, a student vote, and individual interviews with the Heads of Schools, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Leia and Jeffrey as this year’s Primary Head Students, and a group of students in this year’s student leadership programme in Secondary.
In our continued drive to improve both our uniform provision and our community ties, we delighted to announce an official partnership with WildChina Education as sponsors of our competitive sports kit.
