We send our kids to school to learn not just knowledge, but also from others through connection and community. So as October draws to a close, we take a look at some of the community-focused events that our kids’ schools have been up to in the past month.
AISB-Hope International Fall Fair
On Saturday, Oct 14, AISB-Hope International students and guests gathered for a community celebration like no other. The Fall Fair was all about celebrating the spirit of togetherness and community. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and warmth, while they made lasting memories together! They extend their heartfelt thanks to their incredible parents for their unwavering support and their generous sponsors for becoming a part of their extended family.
International Day at International School of Beijing (ISB)
International Day is ISB’s very own Expo – a showcase of continents, countries and cultures represented by their ISB families. The day provided fun-filled ways for students and the whole community to respect and celebrate ISB’s diversity through cultural performances, activities and food-tasting. As is school tradition, the celebrations started with a parade of all ISB students, faculty and staff, many wearing clothing representing their cultures and countries. There were roughly 60 countries and regions represented in their student, parent, staff and faculty body in total. It was a massive showcase of global citizenship.
Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) Education Network Founder’s Day
On Oct 13, YCYW Education Network celebrated Founder’s Day to commemorate YCYW’s founder “Hau Cheung Po Po” Madam Tsang Chor-Hang, who established the first Yew Chung school in Hong Kong in 1932.
