ACAMIS Student Leadership Conference

The 2026 KS4 and KS5 BISS Lions Sports Awards Ceremony brought together students, families and staff to celebrate a year defined by commitment, resilience and sporting excellence across the BISS Puxi community.

The BISS Lions D1 team competed in the SISAC D1 Finals, bringing together the top six teams in Shanghai - three from Puxi and three from Pudong - in a tournament hosted by Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong. The event was marked by high levels of competitiveness, excitement and excellent football throughout.

What happens when young voices are given a platform, a purpose, and the confidence to speak? At BISS Talks 2026, the answer was clear, powerful ideas, courageous storytelling, and truly inspiring performances.

A team of 31 students proudly represented the British International School Shanghai at the annual U13 FOBISIA Games, held at the Pattana Sports Resort in Bangkok.

Ten student leaders from BISS Puxi represented the school at the ACAMIS Student Leadership Conference at United World College, Changshu. According to the ACAMIS website, the conference is grounded in the principles of Academic and Cultural Enrichment (ACE). It was designed to provide a safe, inclusive and enriching environment where students could collaborate, test ideas and develop the confidence and skills required to lead change beyond their own school context.

Fifteen dedicated students from BISS Puxi set off early on the morning of Friday 6 March, travelling across Shanghai from Minhang to Pudong for the final Model United Nations conference of the academic year: Wellington MUN. Leaving campus early, the group, a fantastic mix of new delegates attending their first conference and experienced participants, showed impressive commitment as they prepared to represent a range of countries across multiple committees.

BISS is celebrating 20 years of premium British international education in Shanghai. For this anniversary, we’ve reached out to our alumni to see what direction they took after BISS, and how our school proved to be the perfect pathway for their dream careers.

It is Thursday, Period 2 and the Year 10 artists are analysing the portraiture work of Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. The two artists are often positioned in opposition yet connected by a shared insistence on presence. Whilst their handling of paint, surface and distortion differs, both use portraiture to confront the viewer with form that feels weighted, exposed and unresolved. Our discussion centres on how these works are perceived: not as images to be read quickly, but as encounters that demand sustained looking and emotional attention.
