Last Friday, NAIS Pudong hosted its New Student Orientation Day, a special event dedicated to welcoming new families into the school community. The morning began in the library, where families from around the world had the opportunity to meet one another and form new friendships. This was followed by a warm welcome from the principal, after which parents visited classrooms to meet teachers and discuss the upcoming year. The event concluded with friendly conversations between new families, the Senior Leadership Team, and the Parent Association, marking a joyful and strengthening start to the new school year at NAIS Pudong.
The positive momentum continued on the first official day of school, as the campus welcomed back both new and returning students. Smiles filled the hallways, from friendly greetings and high fives at the gate to happy reunions in the classrooms. Teachers provided a warm and engaging start, helping students settle quickly into their lessons with excitement for the year ahead. Messages from Mr. Thompson, Head of Primary and Early Years, and Mr. Siccardi, Head of Secondary, further energized the community as they shared their aspirations for the school year. It was a vibrant celebration of new beginnings, setting the stage for a year full of learning and growth together.
