Thank you for joining us last Saturday (March 18) at the annual SIS International Winter Bazaar event. We were thrilled to see such a good turnout, from students and teachers to community members, with over 2000 guests enjoying the 40 international booths at The Bay Campus.
SIS International Winter Bazaar is a traditional event celebrating our diversity as a school. This year, we sectioned our outdoor field into four areas, the international booths from various countries were placed on the track, the game area was at the 5-aside pitch, and the craft area was on the basketball court, leaving the centre field space for guests to enjoy the day meeting old and new friends.
Mr. Harish Kanabar, the Head of Shekou International School, remarked:” There’s a fund-raising component to the IWB as we invite local charities to the event to raise money for their good causes, such as the Haichang Community Service Station. A positive growth mindset and mutual respect are represented amongst the SIS community and throughout this event.”
One of the highlights of this event is how engaging the SIS community is. The booth organisers are a variety of SIS families, teachers, and friends, reflecting how much of a close-knit community we are. It is worth mentioning that part of the income from this event will be donated to our Parent Support Association to support further suitable activities that benefit our students. This year we aimed to promote sustainability by encouraging guests to bring their own water bottles, plates, etc.
Shekou International School is proud of our outstanding and inspiring school community. We look forward to seeing you again at our next International Winter Bazaar on December 9, 2023.
感谢您们上周六(3月18日)参加一年一度的SIS国际冬季集市活动。我们很高兴看到如此热闹的场面，从学生和教师到社区成员，超过2000位嘉宾在太子湾校区享受了来自40个代表不同国家的展位带来的特色美食和饮品。
SIS国际冬季集市是蛇口外籍人员子女学校的传统活动，我们通过这个活动，庆祝我们作为一所学校所具有的的个性特色和多样性。今年，我们将学校的室外场地划分为四个区域，各国的国际摊位均匀地布置在田径场上，游戏区位于棒球场，手工艺区位于室外篮球场，而中心区域的足球场空间则留出来供大家享受美好的一天和与友人社交。
蛇口外籍人员子女学校总校长Harish Kanabar先生说道:
“SIS IWB国际冬日集市有一个筹款的部分，我们邀请当地的慈善机构参加活动，为他们的慈善事业增添关注度并筹集资金，比如海昌社区服务站。同时，整个SIS社区也充满了积极的成长心态和相互尊重的精神，我很高兴这些品质在这次的整个活动中也都得到了体现。”
这次活动的亮点之一是SIS社区的参与度。摊位的组织者是各种各样的SIS家庭，老师和朋友，反映出我们是一个多么紧密的社区。值得一提的是，这次活动的部分收入将捐赠给我们的PSA家委会，以支持更多适合我们学生的活动。今年这场活动还倡导了一个目标，那就是通过鼓励客人自带水瓶、盘子等来促进可持续发展。
蛇口外籍人员子女学校为我们杰出而鼓舞人心的学校社区活动感到自豪。我们期待在2023年12月9日的下一届国际冬季集市上再次见到您。
“This is the first time we’ve joined an event like this, really deepens my impression of the internationalism of SIS. Walking around, you see people from all over the world speaking many different languages. I picked up a few greeting words from talking to the booth owners! Thank you for having us. “
“这是我们第一次参加这样的活动，确实加深了我对SIS国际化的印象。活动现场四处都能看到来自世界各地的人们说着许多不同的语言。我在和摊位老板的交谈中学会了一些问候语!谢谢你们邀请我们。”
