NIS is working toward taking a Tennis Team to Beijing for this years ACAMIS Tournament.
This opportunity is available to students from Grades 6-12.
To register your interest in being part of this team, please come and see Mr Brady in the Design Centre for more information.
Are you in G8-12 and have an interest and passion in Robotics?
Shanghai American School Puxi is holding an exciting Vex 16hr Robotics Build Event on Saturday 16th of September and Mr Brady has been able to reserve a number of places for NIS students to participate.
Students get to attend two workshops throughout the course of the day, and will get hands on, practical experience with building, programming and competing (for fun). This is a community focused event with an emphasis on team work and having fun.
This event is being organised and led by the Shanghai American School Robotics Officer team and places have been strictly limited. The event will run from 0600 – 2200 (yes, you did read that correctly, 6a.m. start!!!). So participating students would travel to Shanghai on Friday afternoon and return Sunday morning.
No equipment or experience is needed, everything will be provided. Students just need to bring a can-do attitude and breakfast! SAS will host a pizza party in the evening. Students get to partner up with a friend, and will then be put in mixed teams from there.
So, if you are interested in participating, please come and see Mr Brady in the Design Centre. There are a limited number of positions available, so come and see Mr Brady early so you don’t miss out.
Good Morning!
Primary: Friday assembly time this morning as normal.
Secondary: Extended Advisory this morning. Seated in the PAC at 2:29pm this afternoon for assembly.
See you there!
Do you have something you want to share in an assembly? Maybe some information or a performance? Or perhaps your teacher has bullied you into presenting or performing! In any case, we have a system in place to make our AMAZING assemblies run smoothly…
Anyone wishing to add an item to a Secondary Assembly should kindly read the attached document. Points to highlight:
The Assembly Organisers
Please find attached the PAC Handbook. This is a how-to guide for anyone wishing to use the facility!
If you are stretched for time, or simply can’t be bothered to read the whole document (I won’t be offended) then in a nutshell: contact Mr Brown as far in advance as possible to get your activity/event booked in. Yes, even if your event is Week 38 on 20th June! It’s pretty much a first-come-first-served policy so the more notice the better! You can pop down to the PAC and see me, email me, call me, WeChat me…
… For officially scheduled and supervised NIS activities or appointments only.
“But I want to hang out and game on the sweet NIS WIFI…” No.
“But I want to throw baseball and play football with my friends…” No.
“But I want to hang in the cafeteria and eat chocolate danishes…” No.
“But I want to sit in the pagoda and vibe…” No.
“But my ride is late…” Wait in the Centre Foyer.
“But I’m in Grade 11/12…” The lounge, cafe, and fitness room are accessible to you for reasonable use. You’re good.
“But I have an ASA…” Awesome! Just do it!
“But it doesn’t start until 4:15pm…” Cool. Wait in the cafeteria or library.
“Can I come to school on the weekend?…” Is it an officially scheduled and supervised NIS activity?
“Yes…” Awesome! Just do it!

Hi! Currently in the art centre there are many wonderful and beautiful artworks created by our graduated class of 2023, including our wonderful secondary student art pieces created throughout this year. And we want to share their amazing talents and artistic styles to you all!
Please come to the library foyer to observe and BUY, that’s right, all artworks that will be displayed are for sale, allowing for you all to keep that special work of art.
All the proceeds will be donated to Hopeful Hearts allowing for children and adults to receive care.
The initial timing of the sale will begin at lunch this Wednesday and finish this Friday 3:30 pm. There will be instructions on how to pay on the red columns outside near the entrance of the cafeteria, so please be on the lookout for that.
Amber from grade 11 will assist you during breaks, lunches and after schools, if you need it. Her email is amberowczarek@nanjing-school.com.
