November Updated Events

Whole School Events

1. Early Release PD

The school had two major accreditation visits in October and November. November 24th was an interim visit for our MYP programme. This time was used to complete any final logistics for the visit. Our whole school goal to develop our language acquisition in English is also in full swing. The primary school team used the new IB Exchange platform that had professional development for teachers. They selected a workshop to take that was aligned to one of the goals from our action plan for the year.

 

2. Professional Development

XLIS first schoolwide goal is for our students to develop in their language acquisition of English. Our primary school worked with Justine Otte of Erin Klien Consulting throughout the week to achieve this. Our secondary school welcomed Justin Zhang back to XLIS to help us learn how to leverage Artificial Intelligence as well as move students language from Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills to Cognitive Academic Proficiency Level.

 

3. Korean Online Open Day

This year, we’ve designed two Korean Online Open Days to accommodate the admissions needs for Korean families who are planning to relocate in Xi’an in the near future. Virtual school tour, IB Programmes introduction, Q & A, … and etc., all those detailed information was learned in this session for oversea Korean parents to know more about XLIS before they choose the school for kids when they move to Xi’an.

Secondary School Events

 

 

1. Parent Open Day

Tuesday, 5th November – MYP5

Tuesday, 12th November – DP1 & DP2

Parent’s Open Day is a great opportunity for observing the class teaching and learning, peer relationship developing as well many aspects in school life. We had finished all M1-M4 Parent’s Open Day in October. And in November, we welcomed our M5 and DP parents to step into the Secondary classes.

 

2. Secondary Parent Workshop

The secondary workshop focused on the connections that students would make in doing service as action and learning that connects into CAS in the DP. For students to be accountable and caring citizens of the future, they need to engage in building service throughout their formative years in the school. The workshop provided opportunities for parents to understand how the school ran this in requirements to the IB standards, and how the community could be a resource and support for our students. This workshop was led by our service as action coordinators, Ms. Bella Yang and Mr. Hakim Halim and our CAS coordinator, Ms. Jasmin Sun.
