On Thursday afternoon of 20 November, secondary students from Utahloy International School of Guangzhou gathered in the Multi-Function Hall for this year’s 2025 Secondary Talent Show! Students from across grades 6 through 12 auditioned, practiced, rehearsed, and prepared to present their best skills, talents, and unique abilities in front of fellow students, teachers, parents, and principals. Viewers entered the MFH with the stage set and music playing to an atmosphere of excitement to see what students would bring to this year’s talent exhibition. Some students arrived prepared with posters and signs cheering on their favorite friends.

Grade 1 students successfully concluded their “How We Organise Ourselves” unit by hosting a Fun Fair for K3, Grade 2, teachers, and parents. Guided by the central idea that “Planning an event requires decision-making and collaboration to be successful,” the children spent six weeks learning to form teams, set goals, divide responsibilities, and use planning tools like checklists and posters. It was a fantastic demonstration of their growing ability to take responsibility and collaborate, resulting in a highly successful and joyful event.

From November 13-15, our UISG Wolves cross–country team delivered a performance for the history books at the ACAMIS Championships. Competing against 11 schools and over 100 runners, our athletes demonstrated unparalleled grit, speed, and spirit, ultimately claiming the title of Overall ACAMIS Champions! 

Light up your December! UIS’s International Festival of Light returns to UISG campus this December. As our largest event, it opens our doors to Guangzhou for a magical evening where the arts take centre stage. Immerse yourself in a world of music, dynamic performances, and stunning art as we celebrate the vibrant spirit and diversity that unites us. Don’t miss this spectacular winter highlight! 

On November 13th, our Grade 11 and 12 students were treated to a fantastic dose of inspiration and practical advice, straight from the source! We were thrilled to welcome back two brilliant members of the Class of 2025, Anna Oh and Claire Yoo, who have seamlessly transitioned to their exciting new university chapters.

K3 students explored global cultural celebrations in our “Where We Are in Place and Time” unit. We welcomed parents who shared the story of Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, explaining its history and significance in an accessible way. Children practiced writing their names in Hangeul, boosting fine motor skills and personal connection. They also crafted traditional Korean “Gat” hats and enjoyed making and tasting gimbap. This hands-on session fostered cultural appreciation and showcased wonderful community partnership.

The recent Primary Years Programme (PYP) open morning brought parents into the heart of school life, offering a meaningful chance to learn alongside their children and to witness classroom learning firsthand. Parents were eager not simply to observe, but to participate, to ask questions, and to understand how inquiry, transdisciplinary learning, and student agency come together each day.

October at UISG turned into a month-long creative sprint: students picked up pens every school day, sketched from prompts, and sharpened not just lines but habits. Inktober 2025 wasn’t only about producing inked pictures — it was about practice, risk-taking, and the focus that grows when artists show up every day.
