Open Days
As I said to the parents and students at the last of the three gatherings, we hold these ceremonies for two reasons. Firstly, we like to celebrate success in all its forms as publicly as possible. This is just a great thing to do for our students, and it’s personally one of the most rewarding things about working in a school.
Secondly, we want everyone to revel in learning, to value it as an activity and to think that it’s a “cool” thing to do. We—students and teachers—exist in an environment where we can spend our time learning about all sorts of interesting events and ideas. The ancient Greeks, Socrates and Aristotle, for example, knew this. They both identified learning as the ultimate pursuit of the virtuous and happy person. So, when it happens well, we want to celebrate and encourage it, and so we gather together and give out medals. To celebrate a student’s pursuit of education is a beautiful moment, and a wonderful way to end the term.
Earlier this year, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Orlando, Florida, to participate in the Business Professionals of America (BPA) National Leadership Conference (NLC) - an experience that challenged, inspired and rewarded me in unforgettable ways. From the Shanghai Regional Round to the Chengdu National Round, and finally, just a week ago, the Orlando Global Round, our BPA journey over the past six months has been unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.
In a world where art often serves as a mirror to society's most pressing issues, Julia, a remarkable Year 12 Visual Art student, has taken a bold step to shine a light on a cause close to her heart. Her latest exhibition, titled To See the Unseen, was on display this weekend at the vibrant M50 art district, showcasing her captivating paintings alongside the work of a group of talented artists
On Saturday 9 May, students from our three Nord Anglia schools in Shanghai - NAIS Pudong, BISS Puxi and NACIS - came together for a one-day STEAM Bootcamp, hosted at BISS Puxi. It was a brilliant opportunity for students in Years 7–9 to connect across campuses, take on hands-on challenges, and apply their creativity and problem-solving skills in exciting, real-world contexts.
AI is revolutionising education. And at BISS Puxi, we’re embracing the benefits. Used effectively, educational AI tools can create immersive, innovative, and truly personalised learning experiences for our students. They can also streamline administrative processes, freeing our outstanding teachers to focus on what really matters – inspiring creativity and critical thinking in our classrooms.
