Mr . Iain Ruck VICE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents ,
2017-18 has been another exciting year at the British School of Guangzhou and , as ever , it has been a pleasure to see our students achieving in so many different areas and in so many different ways . I have been particularly impressed by how our students have been availing themselves of opportunities provided by the continued growth in our student enrichment programmes .
This year saw an increased celebration of music , with regular Buskers ’ Corners and a music awards evening . Our curriculum continues to be enriched through our collaboration with Juilliard , and we have had visits , performances and workshops run by Juilliard Alumni .
The PE department hosted the first NAE football tournament , and this programme is set to grow in 2018 / 19 , continuing to provide opportunities on top of our association with FOBISIA , ACAMIS and GISAC . This year , through the sterling efforts of Mr . Dean , we have extended the competitive opportunities for Primary students , as well as extending our participation in Under 19 sports events . This is will be extended further next year with the launch of our exciting BSG Academy !
Student leadership continues to be a strength of the school , and it ’ s great to see the Head students taking an even more active role in the running of the school , and a more proactive Primary Student Council .
On a personal note , this is my last year at The British School of Guangzhou and I would like to finish with a heartfelt thanks to all of our community . During my time at the school , I have had the absolute pleasure of working with a professional group of committed and talented teachers that have constantly sought to offer our students a rich and varied set of learning experiences , within and outside the classroom . I have had the pleasure of teaching students with a passion for learning , who constantly strive to achieve their very best , and a parent body that support and help to reinforce the school ’ s core values . The British School of Guangzhou will always have a very special place in my heart and I would like to thank all of our community for this .
“ I have had the pleasure of teaching students who constantly strive to achieve their very best .”
