Sensational Student Success
The moment your final IB exam finishes can be quite euphoric, it’s over, I’m finished, but then the waiting begins and as 6th July approaches, students who were confident and relaxed when exams were over, start to wonder.

End of Year Message from the School Leadership Team
We can’t believe the end of the academic year has come around so quickly, but here we are, the end of another year. To those families who are moving on, we thank you for your support and we wish you and your children well. To those families who are remaining with us, we appreciate your trust in our school and its teachers, we have had some success this year, but there is more to come, not only from the new building, but developing opportunities for more communication, along with a continued ‘raising of the bar’ in both our standards and expectations.

Time to move up!
As our Year 6 students graduated from Primary School, they were filled with a jumble of emotions.

Creative Writing Competition
Recently, Yew Chung and Yew Wah students were invited to take part in a Creative Writing Competition. The competition was created and sponsored by the Yew Chung Education Foundation Curriculum and Professional Development Division in Hong Kong. This year, over 1300 students from across our foundation of schools took part. Twelve teachers from within those schools volunteered to judge the quality of the writing. On the announcement of the results, there were 49 honorable mentions and 5 winners across the four age groups. We are proud to share that 3 YCIS Chongqing students were among the honorable mention winners, these were Ryan Chen, Ruby Rao, Year 9 and Matthew Leano, Year 12.

Twinkle, twinkle, little stars!
It has taken a while, but finally our Primary students were able to take to the stage and perform in a musical concert. The audience were a little younger than expected as parents were unfortunately replaced by some of our lower Secondary students.
