Our online tutoring program went very smoothly yesterday. The tutors went over vocabulary and grammar and also provided guidance on students’ reading and speaking skills. The tutors from Beijing Normal University spoke highly of our students, and all participants were fully engaged in authentic communication. Each student received individualized feedback from their tutor, and several students shared that they are already looking forward to the next tutoring session. (Ms. Cai)

Takaoka High School Visit

Thank you all for supporting our students in the language and culture exchange opportunity on Friday. This is the first time Grade 9 and 10 students have been included in the activities. Students across grade levels demonstrated those key IB learner attributes - they were great communicators, risk takers, inquirers, open-minded, and above all caring. (Ms. Daboussi)

Field Trip to Chinatown

Brief Update about our Chinatown Field Trip yesterday with Chinese 2 and Chinese 3
Our students had a truly meaningful and enjoyable language and cultural learning experience. Students were divided into 3 teams and spent the afternoon exploring a variety of locations in Chinatown, including Chinese bakeries, bubble tea shops, a mooncake shop, an Asian craft store, and a Chinese supermarket. Along the way, they ordered food in Chinese, described flavors, asked questions, and practiced conversations about prices and preferences. It was wonderful to see them confidently using the language in real-life situations while enjoying some delicious treats and meaningful interactions.
A huge thank you to Mr. E and Ms. Naveed for joining us as chaperones. Your support helped make the trip smooth and enjoyable for everyone. (Reported by Ms. Cai)
