Music Monday - 'Game of Thrones'


If there are not too many other pressing items of business, we usually like to use our Monday morning assembly for a musical performance. This morning, Franco Ngai introduced the nine musicians who had performed with the GYS Orchestra at the annual CIS/GYS concert in Hong Kong last week.

Joined by 'special guest' Kevin Ho on the drum, this group were then conducted by Director of Music Tama Karena in a rendition of the theme from Game of Thrones, by Ramin Djawadi.

The musicians from the orchestra trip were - from left to right - Mia Kriegel, Vivian Gu, Victoria Ngai, Ms Lam, Will Baxter-Bray, Adrian Lee, Chee Ling Wu, and Adam Guo.

More glimpses of China 'on the road' (er, Canal)


As a follow-up to Jasmine and Sierra's video posted a couple of weeks ago, here is a slideshow of photographs I took during the Project Week expedition I led at the beginning of April this year - tracing the entire route of China's historic Grand Canal from north to south, with stop-offs in Beijing, Dezhou, Xuzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and of course Hangzhou.

Participating in this wonderful journey were students Lauren Chillington, Ciara Jacob, Felicia Huang, Cheryl Lee, Sierra Chiao and Jasmine Topp, and staff members Mark Tang, Pierre Biret and Lorna Scott. Felicia's father, Walter, also appears here - treating us to a rather splendid roast duck dinner in Beijing.

Football for ALL!


Here is another set of photographs from our 'Tongzhou IDE' just before half-term (more photos of that activity here, and videos here and here). These were taken by school director Richard Pratt during the first afternoon, when - in collaboration with the NGO China Grassroots Football (CGF) - our students led a mass football training session for around 150 children from local primary schools.

Hangzhou News - surreal edition


A couple of weeks ago, the municipal government invited our students to attend the final day of the annual Hangzhou International Expo. The main 'entertainment' for the day was rather more lavish than usual: a mass dancing spectacle involving nearly 30,000 Hangzhou citizens - part of a nationwide assault on the Guinness record for the biggest line dance. (You can see more of that magnificent folly here. I haven't been able to find out yet if the attempt has been acknowledged as a new record.)

Memories of the Grand Canal - Project Week 2014


As we are about to start contemplating ideas for next year's Project Week activities (for discussion at our upcoming Parents' Weekend'), this seems a good time to look back on some of the things our pioneering intake got up to during the very first CIS Hangzhou Project Week - from the 24th to the 30th March this year. 

Since China's celebrated 'Grand Canal' has its origin point in Hangzhou (branching off from the Qiantang River, just to the south of the Yangtze Delta) and is a central element of the city's identity, we thought it would be appropriate to consider the history and the continuing importance of this mighty thoroughfare. A group of six students and four adults flew to its terminus in the northern capital of Beijing and then returned to Hangzhou tracing the route of the canal - with stops along the way in the canalside cities of Dezhou (the 'capital' of China's solar power industry), Xuzhou (home to a bigger lake than Hangzhou's, and a collection of terracotta warriors smaller than Xi'an's but equally impressive), Wuxi, and Suzhou. We made a point of trying to use as many different modes of transport as possible:高铁, local train, bus, taxi, long-distance coach (on all of which M. Biret and I managed to sleep!) - and even a waterbus (for the very last leg of the journey in Hangzhou, from Wulin Square Wharf back to our local Walmart on nearby Gudun Lu).

Remembrance Day


Ms Lam organised a special assembly for Remembrance Day this morning. In addition to recalling the suffering and sacrifice of soldiers in the Great War, she called attention to the contribution of the workers in the Chinese Labour Corps, who, although non-combatants, shared many of the hazards of the forward lines on the Western Front (their story has been largely forgotten, even in China and certainly in the West; but a campaign has recently been launched by British-born Chinese in the UK to try to ensure that these men too receive their due share of honour in these ceremonies of remembrance).

Will Baxter-Bray played the trumpet, and excerpts of WWI poetry were read by Vivian Gu, Jasmine Savage, and Celeste Yau.

Tongzhou IDE - 'Coastlines'


This short promotional film showcasing the Coastlines leisure company (our partner organisation on Tongzhou island, which offers kayaking and other water sports there) was shot by several of our Film students and edited together by Tristan Wong as part of a multi-media presentation on improving the company's branding and communication - one of our IDE projects (along with 'Orchestrash' and 'Culinary Capers') on our trip there just before half-term.


This is a particularly impressive piece of work, given that it was thrown together under extreme time pressure - the editing completed in barely an hour, and much of the filming (notably the kayaking clip) only being done at the very last minute. Tristan has promised to produce a more polished 'extended cut' for us shortly.

Orchestrash!


One of the optional projects for our students to engage in during our excursion to the river island of Tongzhou right before half-term was creating 'Orchestrash', a musical ensemble playing instruments assembled from discarded junk found in the neighbourhood... and then performing for the rest of the school at our farewell bonfire party (a "Bonfire Bonanza of Beats").

Hangzhou News - Presentation to Year 9


CIS Hangzhou Director Richard Pratt visited the parent school in Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago to give a presentation to the current Year 9s, our prospective third year intake. He was ably supported by a selection of Year 11 students: Axel Leven, Gloria Schiavo, Jasmine Topp, Catherine Wang, and Justin Choo - graduates of our pioneering Hangzhou cohort from last year.

More scenes from Tongzhou


As a follow-up to Ms Lee's portrait of the 'Culinary Capers' cooking activity from last week's Tongzhou IDE, here is a slideshow of some of the photos I took during an idyllic two days away from campus. As well as exploring the charming little river island of Tongzhou and performing with a band of local musicians there, we spent our Wednesday afternoon at the Chinese Football Academy in nearby Tonglu city, staging a mass coaching session for local primary schoolchildren with our partner NGO, China Grassroots Football.

More glimpses of the GYS Primary Teaching Experience


To follow up on Stephen Chan's brief video report a week or so back, here are some of the photographs I took of our Primary Teaching Experience - where our students worked in teams of two or three to deliver a series of 40-minute English lessons to small groups of young children from Grades 4 to 6 in the Primary division of our host school, Greentown Yuhua.


The music is DJ Dain's mashup of I'm Yours (Jason Mraz), Don't Worry, Be Happy (Bobby McFerrin), and What A Wonderful World (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole) [and there's a little bit of Over The Rainbow in there too!]

Keep on plugging away!


Mr Karena shared with us at morning assembly today this entertaining little song by British rock band Transition, as an encouragement to us all to persist in our efforts to master Chinese. (Apparently, the boys are regular visitors to Taiwan rather than the mainland, so their 普通话 probably sounds a little bit sibilant.)

Hangzhou Weekly News - GYS Primary Teaching Experience


Stephen Chan of the 'Hangzhou News' team here gives us a glimpse of last week's 'Inter-Disciplinary Experience', in which our students, working together in teams of three, attempted to teach a morning of classes to small groups of visiting students from the Primary division of our partner school, Greentown Yuhua School (GYS).

Most of our IDEs are reprising successful events we ran in our pioneering year, but this was a completely new initiative. It was a fairly massive logistical challenge - with nearly 800 students (aged 8 to 10) and around 50 of their teachers coming to our campus during the course of the morning. It was also a demanding - but, we hope, enlightening - activity for our students.

Stepping out in style

During our "I am a country" inter-disciplinary experience last week, students each drew a country by lot and were then asked to spend the whole week imagining the viewpoint of that country and its people in a variety of situations and activities. Both subject teachers and coach mentors initiated a number of learning inquiries inspired by this premise.

In Film class, students were challenged to find the most interesting short film clip that was representative of their allotted country. Sherson Ng had initially been disappointed to draw the small and unregarded Republic of Congo... but then his researches turned up this delightful mini-documentary on the 'Sapeurs' of Brazzaville.

Closing Ceremony - June 2014


We rounded off our momentous first year here in Hangzhou with a formal closing ceremony at the end of our final parents' weekend on Sunday 15th June.

Kenny Jeong and Catherine Wang were our very capable MCs. Dan Kinzer and Jianping Pratt spoke on behalf of CIS Hangzhou teaching staff, Andi Lee, Charlie Salnikow, Madeleine Witt, and John Yap on behalf of the students, Natalie Lau and Yohei Tse on behalf of the Coach Mentors, and Guy Chambers on behalf of the parents.

Distinguished guests were Xu Yichao, Deputy General Secretary of the Hangzhou Communist Party, Xiao Feng of the Hangzhou Education Bureau, Chen Feng and Zheng Ping of the Hangzhou Entry & Exit Administration, Jin Heng of the Hangzhou Foreign Affairs Office, Chen Haike, Yu Zhengping, and Wang Yinchu of the Greentown Education Group, Chen Jianguo, Principal of Greentown Yuhua High School, Sun Zhuoren, Deputy Principal of Greentown Yuhua Middle School, and Chen Xiaojen, Deputy Principal of Greentown Yuhua Primary School.

The event closed with a musical performance by our whole-school choir.

China Grassroots Football


One of the most popular and successful of our 'Community & Service' projects has been our involvement with China Grassroots Football (CGF), an NGO that provides football coaching to young Chinese children. During Project Week last March, several students helped run a coaching camp (where they were themselves able to train for a Chinese FA coaching certificate). To promote that event, Joe Littler - outstanding Film student and enthusiastic CGF participant - prepared this montage of the experiences of his classmates during the twice-weekly sessions coaching for CGF that they had been taking part in throughout the year.

Meeting Cindy Pon



CIS Hangzhou's first ever writer-in-residence, American Chinese YA author Cindy Pon, spent the first week of June on campus with us. Although she had arrived over the weekend and had already attended some classes on Monday morning, her formal introduction to the student body came when everyone assembled in the Library meeting area on Monday afternoon to hear her being interviewed about her life and work by English teacher Paul Murphy, who had arranged her visit.

Hengdian


Semester 2 Film students took a class trip in March to visit the Hengdian World Studios, a major Zhejiang tourist attraction in the town of Dongyang, about 120 miles south of Hangzhou. Hengdian is a vast site, boasting several of the world's largest outdoor movie sets, including a full-size replica of the Forbidden City and a Han Dynasty palace that was built in the mid-90s for the filming of Chen Kaige's The Emperor and The Assassin and was made even more famous when it featured in Zhang Yimou's Hero in 2002.

First impressions


Here's a short interview with Joe Littler and Kenny Jeong, done on the day of our Opening Ceremony back in September. It was one of a series of chats with students in their dorms filmed by one of our governors, Alex Tancock, for possible use in the film he was compiling to celebrate CIS Hong Kong's 30th Anniversary this year. [You can watch the finished film here. This didn't make it into the final edit, but a lot of Hangzhou footage did.]

Although they had only been here a week or two by this point, they already seem to have formed some powerfully positive impressions of the place. (No teachers bribed them to say this - honestly!)

And gosh - they look young in this! These two guys have grown up a lot this year.

Jessie seems to have more of an aptitude for working with dough than Mr K! But perhaps it was more of an exercise in percussion than baking....

Early impressions of Hangzhou


On the last of our three days of 'orientation' at the start of the year, we ventured out into Hangzhou for the first time - to spend a day hiking around Xihu, the famous West Lake (and we were blessed with particularly glorious weather for the expedition).


Ciara Jacob created this nice photo montage of the day out (with a little bit of video too: Gloria Schiavo gives a potted history of the Leifeng Pagoda).

Slapstick


For their first 'challenge shoot' in the Film class this year, students were briefed to go out and create a short reel of simple stunts or sight gags. This was really just to let them have a bit of fun while becoming familiar with how to use the cameras; but the clips they produced lent themselves well to having enhanced sound effects added in later - using the dark art of Foley. Jasper Ng, Hayson Chu, and David Zhang produced one of the best efforts on this.

Getting noticed

Big thanks to Mandy Ng in the school's PR department down in Hong Kong for arranging to link this site to the CIS Hangzhou website! We now have two links from there, one on the homepage (down near the bottom of the righthand sidebar, just beneath the handsome picture of Jeffrey Lam)....


.... and one slightly more prominent one on the Hangzhou News page (next to Mr Pratt's weekly bulletins)....





Thanks also to Rosh Harjani, the administrator of the school's Moongate portal, who has given us an icon of our own in the 'Spotlight' box at the top right of the homepage (although you have to have your 'widgets' option activated in order to see this view of the site).




Hopefully, this improved interconnectedness between our school's various online information channels will slowly gather more attention for our little video blog here from the wider CIS community and beyond.

Our last Cotillion of the year last night brought back a lot of happy memories of previous evenings in this more-or-less monthly series of dances, which have been kindly arranged by Mr and Mrs Jooris.

Our regular host Axel Leven and his good friend Fin McCombe always seem to get 'volunteered' to demonstrate the dance steps - perhaps because they are the best sports rather than necessarily the best dancers. Here, they're having a go at the tango...

Chinese Opera


On an improbably warm Sunday afternoon at the start of December, the Chinese Department led the whole school on an excursion to nearby Huanglong Park, where there are regular matinee performances of excerpts from the local Kunqu style of Chinese opera. The genre is enormously popular with senior citizens, but doesn't seem to appeal to a younger audience any more. Nevertheless, our students seemed to find it an interesting experience.

This is just a very brief glimpse of one performance. There may be more to follow in a little while.

A taiji demonstration


Many of our students have been taking taiji classes on Sunday afternoons throughout the year with Master Wang and Master Zhang, two leading exponents of the Chen family style who teach for the Taiji Zen organisation (founded by Jet Li and Jack Ma), which recently opened a centre here in Hangzhou. 

Back in October, Zhang shifu kindly agreed to let us film him giving a complete demonstration of the foundational sequence of movements - the 'Eight Forms' of the Chen style - which the whole school endeavoured to learn in an introductory series of taiji lessons at the start of the year.



Filmed by Nick Berry and Hannah Hui

[We shot the sequence twice, with two cameras at 90° to one another, so that we had all-around views: from the front, the left, the back, and the right. There's also a sequence Mr Murphy shot a couple of weeks earlier of our other teacher, Wang shifu, performing the same routine, but in failing light. However, the routine is more readily digestible in this single clip of Zhang shifu which Nick Berry edited together.]

5-minute Shakespeare


Our inspiring young English teacher Sharon Lam, herself a CIS alumna, challenged her class to distill Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet into a series of mini-playlets: working in groups of four, they had to use only extracts of the original text, while condensing the action into just five minutes for each of the five Acts of the play. And she gamely undertook to perform Act One herself - on her own.

As part of one of the first semester's off-campus inter-disciplinary activities, Madeleine Witt, Hannah Hui, Crystal Leung, Gabbie DeSombre, Vanessa Tidmarsh, Kelly Kwok and Jemima Barr - the girls from dorm room 302 - decided to explore local Hangzhou people's attitudes to laowai by staging a flash mob dance routine - to Jessie J's Domino - in a series of locations around the city. (Fin McCombe and Jeffrey Lam couldn't resist joining in. Although the little Chinese kids getting in on the act is even cuter.)

Most Hangzhou citizens did not think laowai were 'crazy'.... until this.

This is a brief highlight reel of the one-hour concert, shot from an elevated position on one of the galleries in the CIS Hangzhou Music School by Justin Choo with JJ Cheng recording sound; edited by Justin.
