We were very happy to be able to welcome our parents again in our school last week to share all the exciting things that are going on right now as well as our plans for this academic year. For us as the Shanghai Dutch School, part of BISS, it is especially important to create opportunities to meet our Dutch-speaking community.
The students were eager to show their parents their new SDS classrooms and the library. It was a joy to see how proud they were and how meaningful a gathering like this can be. After the presentation and tour, there was time for questions and for sharing experiences.
The collaboration between the Shanghai Dutch School and the British International School is in its tenth year and has become a strong and mutually supportive relationship. The SDS offers teaching in Dutch Language across both the Primary and Secondary Schools and is authorised by the Dutch Department of Culture, Education and Science, through the NOB foundation, in cooperation with the Dutch Education Inspectorate to offer Dutch education to students overseas.
An example of the collaboration between the schools is the upcoming European Week of Languages which features activities themed on the Netherlands and the Dutch language.
We are very much looking forward to organising many more events for our community this year and to working together to support our students. Coming up shortly is Prinjesday, for which we plan to welcome the Dutch Consul-General to the school.
On Friday 26 April, Year 9 students were taken on an interactive, immersive and educational experience, in which they were able to take an A – Z look at chocolate production, taking them from bean to bar!
The BISS Ball, held at the W Hotel in Shanghai, was a dazzling affair, combining elegance with purpose. As guests entered the venue, they were greeted by the enchanting ambience that set the tone for a fantastic fundraising evening.
Year 9 students and a very brave Year 12 embarked on a new adventure on the 25 April. Accompanied by two members of the French department, they explored the Former French Concession around Fuxing Park to discover the history and some of the stories of the time when the French thought they could, perhaps settle, in Shanghai.
This year’s NAE-UNICEF Student Summit will take place in Houston, Texas, from 12 to 19 June 2024. We are thrilled to announce that the following three students have been selected to represent BISS Puxi at the summit: Tianyu, Jaeyoon and Salma!
