The first day of a new school year brings new opportunities. The teachers and students of ISA Liwan were eager to begin classes and start their new year's educational journey. During the summer break, teachers established comprehensive and personalised study plans according to the characteristics of the subjects and the individual needs of the students.

As we start our new school year,  ISA Liwan also welcomed many new students. With the aim of facilitating the swift integration of new students into the ISA Liwan family, the homeroom teachers and advisors have organized an array of engaging activities. These initiatives enable students to enhance their interpersonal communication and gradually build up collaboration within a pleasant atmosphere.

A defining feature of a high-quality boarding programme is the quality of the pastoral care programme. The Pastoral Care and Boarding Team of ISA Liwan held their first boarding meeting with the boarders, introducing boarding principles and practices, daily routine, and the importance of communication between the boarders, their parents and the school team. ISA Liwan also offers extensive boarding curriculum and events for boarders, including structured homework time, extracurricular activities and academic support, which provide opportunities to encourage holistic development both individually and collectively.

In the next two weeks, students will fully explore and participate in various co-curricular activities (CCA), including drama, fencing, creative arts, musicals, ISA Model United Nations Association, WGHS Investment Competition, etc. In addition, students can also experience courses on Lingnan culture, such as Guzheng, Wing Chun and Lion Dance.
