Our first cohort of residential students enjoy and benefit from the boarding life: develop important life and time management skills, greater independence and maturity, experience living with others from the world, make lifelong friendships and building leadership skills through a wide range of activities. Our mission is to provide a home from home boarding experience.

Health

“Prevention is the best medicine“. The boarding staff assists students in maintaining high standards of personal hygiene and cleanliness.   All medicines are to be handed into reception upon arrival where they will be recorded and administered by the Boarding staff.

The Boarding House ran a nutrition lecture on May 21st 2020, educating the students on how to develop a healthy eating habit. Through the lecture, boarders realized their own unhealthy eating habits, such as consumption of soft drinks and instant noodles. They are working hard on getting rid of the unhealthy diet.

Boarding Activities

All boarders are encouraged to take part in all Boarding House activities. All activities are designed to be interesting and fun learning experiences. Each term a calendar of activities is drawn up, which may include such things as movies, sports games and Festival parties.

Last term, the boarding team organized the first sport occasion “2019-2020 BIS Boarding Badminton Tournament”. All the boarders were enthusiastic about the tournament. On the court, the players tried their best to perform well; the other boarders as spectators cheered on the players. A lot of amazing moments were photographed, reflecting a safe and happy “Home away from Home”.

On June 18th, the boarding community ran an award ceremony for the tournament. The award ceremony started with a buffet, which created a relaxed environment and enabled free conversations between students and teachers. After the buffet, the most excited and memorable moment is the awarding part. Two senior management members and three teachers are the guests who awarded the trophies and certificates. The prize winners received warm applause for the honor. To celebrate the completion of the academic year of 2019-2020, the boarding students offered great performances such as singing, dancing and sketch after awarding. Everyone has fun in the award ceremony.
