Whole School Events
01. Student-led Conference
The student-led conference was an opportunity for our community to come and learn from the student directly. In the primary school classrooms were set up in stations. Students led their parents through various subjects, displaying their understanding of Mathematics, Language, Science and Social Studies. Parents also went to specialist classes with their child to see what they were doing in the Arts, PSPE and Mandarin. Our Visual Arts team also had the Primary Visual Arts Exhibition outside of the Blue Dragon Theatre on that day.
The secondary school took a different approach and placing the student at the center, had a three way conference between the student, parent and teacher. Students had traditionally designed a concept map. Using one macro concept students explained to their parents how they had connected learning across disciplines.
02. Summer Fair
Primary School Events
01. Primary Parent Workshop
Title: Inquiry-based Mathematics
Led by Ms. Julia Fan and Ms. Shevon Hu
During this session, we explored how students had learned math within the PYP framework. We discussed the benefits of an inquiry-based approach, highlighting how it motivated students and fostered a deeper interest in mathematics. Together, we looked at some home support strategies.
02. Early Years and LP School Open Day
Secondary School Events
01. Secondary Parent Workshop
The parent workshop focused on what the Secondary school looks like. It was specifically designed for P6 parents and was led by Mr. Shameek and colleagues in the secondary. Moving from Primary into secondary can be challenging as there are differences in academic expectations and self management skills. The workshop focused on some of the differences and how to navigate through the challenges of joining secondary school but looking forward to it by being well prepared.
02. Secondary School Open Day
In May, XLIS held the Secondary School Open Day. On the day of the event, the Secondary Principal and teachers gave a comprehensive and in-depth introduction of secondary curriculum. What’s more, the admission team also led potential families to visit the campus to learn about the school’s facilities, school life, admission criteria, etc., allowing them to experience high-quality international education in a comprehensive and multi-faceted manner.
