Whole School Events

 

1. Orientation Week for New Staff

We have welcomed 20 new staff members to the school. This time was dedicated to setting them up to succeed by introducing them to the different systems the school uses as well as to what planning, instruction and assessment look like at XLIS. During our pre-boarding sessions these new members were introduced to the XLIS mission as well as our Schoolwide Learner Outcomes. During that week they started to understand how these are put into action.

 

2. Orientation Week for All Staff

The staff at XLIS, along with our students, are the heart and soul of the school. We came together around our mission and vision before digging into the two most important aspects of what we do.

· Ensuring every student achieves their very best academically.

· Providing a safe, inclusive environment for all our students.

· Staff planed and set up their learning spaces for the community day. 

 

3. 2025-2026 Academic Year New Parents’ Orientation

To better collaborate and cooperate for students’ growth at XLIS, we invited all new parents to join in the New Parents’ Orientation on Aug. 11th afternoon to know more about the academic requirement and other school routines, so as to integrate into XLIS community smoothly.

 

4. Community Day

A successful partnership between school and family helps develop confident and well-rounded students. The Community Day was designed for meeting with all parents. It was divided into Primary session and Secondary session, which were all led by the Senior Leadership Team.

 

5. Start Semester 1

 

Primary School Events

 

1. Meet the Teacher Night

Meet the teacher night was an excellent way for the parents to learn more about their child’s school life at XLIS. Meeting and getting to know the teachers and TA in the primary class began the building of a very important relationship between the home and school. Parents visited their child’s classroom, met the teachers, found out more about our curriculum and the expectations for behavior, homework and communication.

 

Secondary School Events

 

1. Meet the Teacher Night

For the Secondary school, our meet the teacher night was an opportunity for the parents to meet the homeroom teachers. On that day, homeroom teachers introduced the protocols for communication, teachers who would teach their child to set the platform to build an important relationship that would help the child, who is always at the center.

 

2. XLIS Dragon Cave Dormitory Challenge

The XLIS Dragon Cave Dormitory Challenge is a unique residential initiative designed to provide our MYP2 and MYP3 students with an opportunity to further develop their self-management skills as well as their basic life skills thus encouraging them to become more independent. From August 24th on, our MYP 3 A/B students have been taking this challenge.
