On Monday we were delighted to welcome all High School parents and students to our Orientation Day and the entire Qingpu Campus school community, as our High School students began their very first day of school!
A full day of activities took place, starting in the morning with a student tour of our elegant campus and boarding facilities followed by a meet-and-greet luncheon where students met their House Tutors who will be accompanying them throughout their entire academic journey this year.

After helping students get settled in our boarding facility, parents attended an assembly during which they learned more about the High School program and met our teachers, Tutors and boarding staff.

In the afternoon, students met in the theatre again for another short assembly, after which they had their first quality contact time with their Tutor. During that time, Tutors took care of several administrative but important tasks such as assigning lockers and distributing timetables. We were so pleased to see the students and Tutors get to know each other better! Later in the afternoon, students met up with Tutors once again for some academic activity time where they had a chance to participate in some specially-designed tutor-led icebreaker games!
Following dinner, students gathered in the theatre to receive an introduction to the Community and Society offerings this year, together with an overview of the dormitory rules and regulations. After a full day, it still wasn’t quite time for bed just yet! The icebreaker games continued in the Sports Hall until 9pm, at which time the students finally began to start preparing for bedtime (which occurred around 10pm).
We are genuinely excited to welcome our new High School students to SUIS Qingpu, and we know that you will feel the same way the minute you step onto our campus! Let the 2020-2021 school year begin!
