October 

This year's celebrations on October 9 highlighted YCIS Shanghai's 27th anniversary. Students, teachers, and staff enjoyed marking the occasion together, celebrating the 88 years of progressive and international education that the organisation has provided.

We were delighted to announce Mr Ryan Peet joining the school as the new Co-Principal at YCIS Shanghai, Puxi in November, embracing our thriving Puxi community and meeting students, parents, and staff face to face.

We also began various ‘YCIS Connected’ events in November and December, promoting and maintaining open communication and relationships with parents and supporting their involvement and interest in being part of the YCIS Shanghai school community.

Students took part in various winter concerts before the Christmas break, as well as the Yew Chung (YC) and Yew Wah (YW) Composition Competition, showcasing their extraordinary talents across a range of instruments.

Under the theme ’Together, Building a Better World’ and in partnership with Shanghai’s West Bund Museum, the event represented an opportunity for YCYW students to share their ideas, innovative designs, creative projects, and workshops.

Celebrating the achievements of students during their arts exploration and the 15th anniversary of our unique Artists-in-Residence Programme, the “Evolution and Transformation” art exhibition featured over 1,300 pieces of student artwork from seven YCYW schools in Shanghai and Tongxiang.
