As the lively Spring Festival celebrations come to a close, students at YK Pao School are entering a new chapter of their academic journey.
This week, Executive Deputy Chairman Philip Sohmen visited the Hongqiao campus to tour the new Multifunctional Complex. Accompanied by Pao School’s leadership team, he observed students in their swimming classes and inspected the newly constructed facilities. As the construction of the Multifunctional Complex is coming to an end, he hopes the new facilities will enhance the teaching environment for all.
President Madame Xu Yongchu and Executive Headmaster Iain Kilpatrick extended their best wishes for the upcoming semester, expressing gratitude to the staff for their ongoing commitment to development and growth, as well as acknowledging their transformative effect on the students. With the recent re-accreditation from CIS and WASC, this is an exciting time to be part of the Pao School community.
As the new semester begins, teachers have been participating in a series of professional development workshops covering key topics such as curriculum enhancement, social-emotional learning strategies, and first aid training. Meanwhile, the High School C4C department has been organizing Lantern Riddle activities to welcome students back to campus.
To facilitate a seamless transition back to school, the General Services department of each campus has implemented comprehensive preparations. These include training sessions aimed at enhancing campus safety, managing school transportation, and optimizing property management. These efforts are designed to create a supportive and secure environment for students as they embark on this new semester.
