On their way home from competing in the World Junior Diving Championships in Adelaide, Australia, The British International School Shanghai, Pudong were treated to a special visit from the Olympians.
Appearing together for the first time since the London Olympics, the medal winning divers performed a synchronised dive together, a historic moment for the school and its students. Children were also given an expert coaching session from the Olympians, giving them an insight into the dedication and commitment required to train to such a high level.
Tom Daley said: "I was glad to see so many children doing amazingly well in learning the basic diving skills like jumping forwards and backwards, which normally take a couple of weeks.”
Qiu Bo said: "If you want to learn how to dive, it's better to start as early as you can, but if you just want to make it a hobby, you should be very careful and perhaps even switch to less dangerous activities like swimming.”

We sat down with Dr Pete Paciorek, Head of Leadership & Character Development at IMG Academy, to learn more about how sports can help students build leadership skills, both on and off the field. IMG Academy’s global collaboration with Nord Anglia is designed to help students develop their sense of wellbeing, resilience, and confidence, as well as their teamwork and leadership skills.
Metacognition project ‘showcases the incredible potential of reflective learning on a global scale’.
Nord Anglia’s IB students achieved an average diploma score of 34 points, surpassing this year’s IBDP global average by almost four points.
I’m Katya, a Year 12 student at the British International School of Chicago, South Loop where I’ve attended since Year 4. Last month, I was lucky enough to participate in a week-long event at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, made possible thanks to the collaboration Nord Anglia Education has.
