Clean hands, happy meal.
October 15 is Global Handwashing Day so WISE hold a flash activity.

國際演講會（Toastmasters International）是世界上最大的演講組織。從2011年起，具有中文分會的會員國為求切磋琢磨中文演講技巧並提昇區域交流，便開始舉辦華夏風情冠中冠中文演講賽。稱之為冠中冠的原因是因爲所有參賽的選手都已經取得了自己國家的冠軍，而獎項亦分別以冠中金、銀、銅稱之。

October 1st is International Coffee Day. WISE provided free coffee for teachers and students (in grades 11 and 12). Combined with this year school's main theme of "Marine Protection" - Say no to single-use plastics, teachers and students were required to bring their own cups or bottles to join our Coffee Day event.

WISE Books Fair started on 10/1 (Tue). To kick off the week, WISE invited the renowned international educator and author, Leon E. La Couvée to give us a speech on the importance of critical thinking. His energetic and charismatic performance captured everybody’s attention with sing-along’s and interactive activities. The one-hour talk flew by in a blink of an eye, leaving us with a lesson full of fun and knowledge.

WISE Teacher’s Day Activity

That’s how we celebrate Teacher’s Day. For the important event, we set up a hand-made tree constructed by recycled bottles. Teacher’s are like gardeners, and students are like plants. Without teachers’ daily watering of knowledge and care, students would not grow up successfully and excellently. Thanks for all of the WISE Teachers’ hard work. 

Time to choose your clubs. WISE Club Fair took place today (8/28). All the faculties and students really enjoy it. Hope that everyone will join their favorite clubs.

WISE officially started our new semester on August 26th, 2019, and before the 1st day, we have two new student orientations on August 17th, and August 23th for Elementary School and High School Respectively. It's a brand-new beginning and we hope every student can study at WISE happily and safely.

The World Scholar’s Cup is a gathering of students from around the globe in celebration of learning and the promotion of a global community. Each year, new themes are released, encompassing subjects that include art and music, literature, history, social studies, science, and special area. In order to prepare, students must research each area of the syllabus carefully, learning the content as well as the guiding questions. In addition, students prepare by practicing debate and writing before the start of regional competitions.
