14 delegates, one committee president, three co-presidents and two MUN directors headed off early this morning to SAS Puxi for the SHAMUN Conference.

At NAIS Pudong, we are proud of having a unique ethos and approach when dealing with languages. We are rich in diversity and want to experience the celebration of different cultures in an environment where the values of global citizenship are promoted and developed within our students.

Supporting children from various backgrounds as all international schools do, creates a range of needs in the students that walk through our doors. Most of the children at NAIS Pudong are what we call EAL learners to some degree or another but what does EAL mean?

The sun was shining on the first NAIS Pudong picnic of the academic year! With last week’s typhoon a distant memory, new and old families gathered on the NAIS Pudong field to enjoy some quality time together making new friends and catching up with older ones.

After almost two years away from the netball court it was a fantastic return to competition on Saturday when the Under 19 girls dominated play to defeat their long-standing rival in the city Dulwich.

Learning outside the classroom supports the development of healthy and active lifestyles by offering children opportunities for physical activity, freedom and movement, and promoting a sense of well-being.

Leyi from NAIS Pudong has recently been honoured as one of the brightest students in the world by The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY).

Our students achieve more than they may have thought possible. We believe there is no limit to what students can achieve socially, personally and academically. This year, our students’ academic results reflect our shared commitment to excellence in this area.

Our Year 12 students completed and submitted their Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Exhibition on 22 June

Our recent toddler group “Tiny Tots” has been a real success, it was not only aimed at supporting relationships between children and parents but also to provide a range of experiences to promote learning and development for the child.

Our School Council are promoting their new sustainable initiative which is to create our very own reusable masks!

The concept of wellbeing is one which is not new in education nor new in societal mindset. However, what is new is the realisation of the importance it really holds in our capacity to flourish both personally and professionally. Students have always faced challenges whether due to academic or social pressure, yet today these challenges of growing up are combined with life in the 21st Century. Our thirst for speedy knowledge, the interconnectedness of social media and the manipulative nature of news media all means that student wellbeing is being tested to new levels. All schools will prioritise wellbeing, mental health and mindfulness but the aim of NAIS Pudong is to equip our students with the tools they need to cope with life’s challenges- to become independent, self-aware adults and global citizens.
