Shaping Futures Together: Stronger Partnership & Career Exploration

For our MYP students, Career Day became an immersive real-world experience through a series of field trips. Grade 10 students visited BMO Shanghai, where they were introduced to the dynamic environment of finance and business. Meanwhile, Grade 8 and 9 students spent time at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, gaining a glimpse into university life and future academic possibilities. Grade 6 and 7 students explored Suzhou Xiao Jing Handicraft Art Village, engaging with traditional craftsmanship and creative industries. These experiences allowed students to see how their learning connects to real-world contexts and future opportunities.

In the Primary School, Career Day took on a more personal and interactive approach, as parents were invited into classrooms to share their professional experiences. Through these sessions, students were introduced to a wide range of careers, from science and design to filmmaking, engineering, education, and even yoga. Each presentation offered a unique perspective, helping students understand not only what different professions involve, but also the skills, creativity, and passion behind them. By hearing directly from parents and engaging in authentic conversations, students were able to connect their classroom learning with the wider world, sparking curiosity and expanding their sense of possibility.

对于MYP学生而言，Career Day不仅发生在校园内，更延伸至真实的社会场景。十年级学生走进BMO上海，近距离感受金融与商业环境的运作；八、九年级学生前往西交利物浦大学，体验大学校园氛围，初步探索未来的学术方向；六、七年级学生则走进苏州消泾手工艺术村，在传统手工艺与创意实践中，感受文化与产业的结合。

在这些沉浸式体验中，学生们逐渐理解，课堂中的知识如何在现实世界中被应用，也开始思考未来更多的发展可能。

在小学阶段，Career Day呈现出更加贴近生活的一面。我们邀请家长走进课堂，与学生分享各自的职业故事。从科学研究到创意设计，从影视制作到工程技术，再到教育与健康领域，丰富多元的职业经历为学生打开了全新的视角。

这些真实的分享，让学生不仅了解“做什么”，更看见“为什么而做”——职业背后的热情、能力与选择。通过与家长的交流，学生将学习与生活连接起来，在倾听与互动中不断拓展对未来的想象。
