On 12th June, NAIS Pudong invited parents of Early Years and Primary students to attend the Term 3 Showcase and Year 6 Graduation Ceremony.

Our Y4, Y5 and Y6 students headed to Nantong last week to immerse themselves in three days of hands-on activities that develop practical skills and teamwork.  From fun games such as archery tag, to boat-building competitions, orienteering, survival skills, and cultural engagement, the event was built around the UN Strategic Development Goals of Quality Education (SDG4), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG11), and Climate Action (SDG13).

Last week we embraced our status as a wide and varied international school as we celebrated all of the nationalities in International Week!  Amongst a huge variety of different activities each day, we saw students and staff taking part in cultural dances, puzzles and games, quizzes, and many more activities.

Thank you to all parents who took the time to complete our recent Parent Survey, the feedback from which is critical in helping the school to formulate action plans for the future.  This year the response was fantastic, with an almost 80% completion rate, meaning the feedback is definitive and representative of the whole school. 

The warmer spring weather is arriving in Shanghai and so what better time to confirm our next big event – the NAIS Pudong Spring Fair – which will take place on Saturday 20th April from 11am to 4pm. 

Last week, the NAIS Pudong campus had been immersed in the enchanting world of books, sparking a love for reading among both students and teachers. In the PCA room, a meticulously prepared book fair awaited students and parents, providing a space to explore and select their favourite literary options. Thursday brought a special highlight to the week with our "Character Dress-Up Day," where elementary school students were encouraged to portray their beloved book characters.

As Nord Anglia International School (NAIS) Shanghai, Pudong continues its commitment to enhancing student learning, the collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Nord Anglia Education (NAE) has grown to be a fantastic initiative to foster a dynamic and enriching educational environment for NAIS Pudong students. This partnership, bridging together the expertise of MIT’s faculty and students with Nord Anglia’s global school network, provides our pupils with a distinctive opportunity to develop essential collaborative skills, gain exposure to real-world problems, and participate in challenging competitions.

Monthly highlights at NAIS Pudong! Our Year 4 students had the amazing opportunity to visit the Zotter Chocolate Theatre to learn all about where chocolate comes from and how it is made. A series of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities were designed for students in Key Stage 3. We participated the ACAMIS basketball competition, a recent thrilling event held at Xiamen International School, where teams from Hong Kong, Dalian, Beijing, Xiamen, and Shenzhen exhibited exceptional skills and teamwork, creating an electric atmosphere of competition and teamwork.

On the vast majority of Tuesdays at NAIS Pudong we hold a dedicated Talk for parents, with each session focusing on an educational or other topic relevant to our community. Various member of the academic and leadership team will talk to parents of our children about their education, how the school delivers lessons, and to parents of primary school students about the school's activities for students and their significance, helping them to gain insight into how their child explores learning at school through play and other communication.

In late 2023, several NAIS Pudong students embarked on the trip of a lifetime to Les Martinets, Switzerland for a winter trekking project, and this month another group of lucky staff and children undertook the same journey to Europe for a skiing experience in the mountains.

It was an afternoon filled with eerie excitement and ghostly gatherings as our Parent and Community Association (PCA) organised a spine-tingling Halloween celebration on last Friday.

Over the summer this year I had a great opportunity to attend the NAE-UNICEF summit as a school representative, working as a summit reporter. This was a massive program with more than 100 students from across our family of more than 80 Nord Anglia Education (NAE) schools, representing a huge range of nationalities.
