NAIS Pudong Scholarships
Scholarship applications are now open.
As part of the Living Legacies lecture series and integrated with the teaching curriculum, NAIS Pudong Secondary invited two parents on December 6 to deliver a lecture on parent-child relationships to the Y8 and Y9 students. The goal of the lecture was to help children better understand their parents, thereby reducing conflicts in daily life.
At the beginning of the lecture, Y9 student Ricky Z and Chinese teacher Ms. Shu reenacting the most common conflict scenario between children and parents. Later, they shared their inner thoughts during those moments, hoping their voices would be heard by each other.
The discussion then shifted to topics that students often find most puzzling, such as: "How did my parents interact with their elders during their adolescence? What influences shape my parents' parenting style? What are the reasons behind Chinese parents' expectations of their children? Why do Chinese parents often emphasize the importance of gratitude and filial piety as children grow up? What does a healthy parent-child relationship look like?" Two parents, Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Qu, shared their perspectives and experiences on these questions.
The session concluded with a Q&A segment, where students raised their own questions. Through this lecture, students gained a deeper understanding of their parents and are expected to be more considerate and communicate more effectively with parents in the future.
In the final of our series of alumni spotlight articles, we speak with Matthew Ward, a professional football player in England who spent six years at NAIS Pudong before departing in 2019 to take up his current role as an elite sports star!
At NAIS Pudong, we strive to achieve our values, one element of which is building confidence in our students to help them better prepare for life after education. But what about building the confidence to question one’s approach and strategy in tacking tasks or ideas?
On the last day of Term One, Principal Diane Vaughan conducted the termly Principal's Awards, this time celebrating the outstanding contributions of students who exemplify one of the school's core values of being considerate.
On 9th and 10th of December years 7-9 students were given the chance to debate on a given present-day topic. A debate is a structured discussion where individuals present and defend their viewpoints on a topic, aiming to persuade others with well-supported arguments.
