<span class="sc_dropcaps_item">2</span>017-2018 is the year that the teachers and students of the Mandarin Department grew up together.
<br><br>
In the first term, four Chinese teachers joined the IB training. They established the IB relationship network,
learned more IB teaching theory and got a lot of teaching resources shared by other IB teachers in the training. During the READING WEEK, held by the English Department, we assisted the English team in guiding students from the 4 houses (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water) to have a wonderful Chinese speech contest.
<br><br>
In the second term, during the TALENT SHOW COMPETITION, the Mandarin Department organized a wonderful calligraphy competition.
<br><br>
In December, there were about 100 students who registered for the HSK TEST, some of whom took and passed the HSK 6, the highest level of the test.
<br><br>
The third term coincided with the Chinese New Year. With the support of all the teachers and students of the school, our colleagues in the Mandarin department successfully carried out the Spring Festival celebration. We had a pleasant and unforgettable day together.
<br><br>
The fourth term is the term for the students to summarize what they have learned in the past three terms. Under the guidance of teachers, students have completed the review and consolidated the whole year’s knowledge, laying a good foundation for their studies in the next academic year.
