Before the ceremony, Mr. Shi and the Director- General and Party Secretary of Shangcheng Education Bureau Mr. Xiang Haigang, went on a campus tour with our school founder Jane Du, the school leadership team and two student representatives. 

The students thoroughly enjoyed seeing Mr. Shi's  friendly and humorous side, which encouraged them to confidently guide the group throughout our campus, discussing the curriculum and student work.

Two studengs from WIS and WBS kicked off the opening ceremony. 

Then the executive principals of both schools spoke of the meaning of the school mottos.

Finally, Mr. Shi gave his speech with three stories meant to intrigue our children.  

Following the assembly, Mr. Shi, leaders from the education bureau, and school leadership, had a meeting discussing educational ideas.

Mr. Shi highly agreed with our school mission-producing the next generation of ambassadors for China. He also aknowledged our students are global citizens. They not only have in-depth knowledge and understanding of Chinese culture and values but are also able to engage with the international community. 

Wahaha students can make a distinct Chinese voice heard and facilitate cultural and intellectual dialog. Both sides believe in "innovation needs diversity" and that we should encourage our students to be themselves.  

Knowing our why helps us become passionate about contributing to our community, which allows us to impact the world positively.
