In October, E FROM I was in Tanzania for the Nord Anglia Education annual conference, along with the Principals of all 31 international schools. This was an opportunity to see at first hand the impressive residential camp that Nord Anglia Education run there. This camp is G an excellent resource that can be used by our students as part of the residential programme. Principals and Nord Anglia directors would take part in the activities that A are usually reserved for our students. That meant camping, spending a day painting an orphanage, visiting NAE supported schools and enjoying the sights and sounds of a safari within Tanzania’s world famous game reserve. This was a tremendous opportunity and one that our Sixth Form students will get the chance to experience in February. It was only by being there with the other Principals that I really got a sense of being part ss of a globally connected group of international schools. ME 2 Congratulations to Eric Wei, Year 10, whose photograph was chosen to be part of the next NAE calendar. Eric is the first student from BSG to gain a prize from the WORLD Global Classrooms initiatives, but I am sure he will not be the last.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE It seems that International Day on 1st November used up the last sunny day of the INFORMATION. year. I would like to thank everyone for their efforts to ensure the day went so well. It truly was a team effort with academic and administrative teams working alongside parents, security and outside vendors to make it a special day. As always, we will review the day to see if we need to make changes for next year, but now is simply a time to say well done to you all. International Day is one of the most important events on our calendar and is an opportunity to celebrate the vast array of cultures and traditions that makes our students and our school so unique. Finally, as we prepare for the next FOBISIA games, I am pleased to note the efforts of our students. Their desire to be fully prepared for this competition is so high that they have been coming into school even earlier to get in some extra training sessions. This level of commitment and team spirit deserves special mention and is already starting to have an impact on their levels of performance. Our thanks goes the PE staff for their support and commitment, as well as to parents who are offering their support with transport and fundraising efforts. With this kind of commitment, there is no doubt that our performances will improve year on year. Important information is often sent via email through school.

As the school has grown considerably over the years it was decided to A create phase specific Parent Support Groups (PSGs) and sadly we had to say goodbye to the existing EFC. D As a final gesture of appreciation towards the school, the EFC donated a very healthy amount of money to each phase to purchase something N of quality that all students would benefit from. In the Early Years, it was decided that we would like to purchase U something that would increase the children’s language, creative, social and emotional development and of course offer opportunities of pure enjoyment. EARLY EARLY YEAR All young children love to role-play, and with the money that the EFC FO donated to the Early Years department we bought a ‘role play’ structure for each classroom. The Teachers and TAs then set about turning their role-paly centre into a wonderful world of imagination. Our Pre- Nursery, Nursery and Reception classrooms now have features such as a Cup Cake Shop, a Beauty Salon, Fairytale Castles, Pet Shops, Doctors Surgery and so on. The children have the most wonderful fun in these role-play areas and the language development that these areas encourage is never ending. The EFC have also donated 5,000RMB to each Parent Support Group to help them on their way to raising further funds for charity and the school. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents of the EFC for their time, enthusiasm, hard work and support of our school and your very kind donations. If any parents are interested in joining our Early Years PSG, please do not hesitate to contact me at the following address: [email protected] 6 7 High Performance Learning S By: Alfred Creissen ON In order to make sure that every child has the best start in their schooling, we focus on a strategy called High Performance Learning (HPL). This way of teaching focuses on two key approaches to supporting children’s TI development. As children learn new skills it is important that the teachers focus on helping them to develop A Advanced Cognitive Performance Characteristics (ACPCs). These characteristics are designed to challenge them to look deeper and be critical about what they see D and experience. These ACPCs encourage children to be open to new ideas and to create links to other areas of their learning. N In the Early Years program, we focus our work on developing the right values, attitudes and attributes (VAAs) to ensure that they can grow as open-minded and determined U learners.

Alex Prager: Farewell, Work Holiday Parties November 21, 2020–January 3, 2021 Los Angeles–based artist Alex Prager is known for making photographs and short films embellished with Technicolor fantasy but grounded in the pains and pleasures of the everyday. In this installation, Prager satirizes a specific part of working life, drawing on pop culture tropes to create a simulation of office holiday parties. The artist animates figurative sculptures with costumes, makeup, props, and sound, and places them in recognizable office-party situations, creating a strange yet celebratory scene that can be experienced in the round. “Through my work I’ve been able to process things in the world that I’m questioning or struggling with,” says Prager, “which is one of the many reasons I feel this piece is important for the current social climate. Right now, during this strange and life-altering time, many of us are reprioritizing our lives and figuring out what actually matters to us.” Curators: Liz Andrews, Director’s Office and Rita Gonzalez, Contemporary Art, LACMA Credit: This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

  • Exploring the Brand Image of Shenzhen Happy Valley and Chimelong Paradise
    European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1905 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2839 (Online) Vol.6, No.18, 2014 Exploring the brand image of Shenzhen Happy Valley and Chimelong Paradise Zhu Mingfang 1 Wangqian 1* Bai Yangxu 2 1. Shenzhen Tourism College of Jinan University, 6 OCT East Street, Shenzhen 518053, China 2. School of Hotel and Tourism Management, the HK Polytechnic University 17 Science Museum Rd, Hong Kong, 999077 * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Adopting Aaker’s(1996) framework, this study explored the effect of Micro-blogging marketing in brand image, with the cases of two popular theme parks in Guangdong province, namely Shenzhen Happy Valley and Chimelong Paradise. Brand image is an overall perception about the brand or the product from customer’s perspective. Most scholars and pioneers in marketing consider the success of certain product or service relies more on the brand image, rather than the physical characteristics or specific functions (Aaker, 1991). Brand identity is the one way to achieve company’s expectation, on the basis of which, the brand image could be built. This study applied the brand assessment model, and revealed the brand images of these two theme parks on the basis of brand identity model. Results of analysis indicated that both theme parks’ promotion messages emphasized their brand images. However, Happy Valley’s public relations efforts were more successful than Chimelong Paradise in transferring projected brand image to its Micro-blogging fans. Keywords: B rand image, Brand identity, Theme park, Micro-blogging 1. Introduction Tourist attractions are one of the most important parts of tourism industry.

The writing fizzes with the excitement of connecting the countless different strands of the composer's artistic influences and inspirations. I was entranced and delighted throughout.”—Richard Goode, Grammy Award–winning concert pianist and teacher “Debussy's Paris presents a unique and panoramic view of this remarkably rich time in the history of both music and a changing world. It will delight both musicians and non-musicians alike.”— Gilbert Kalish, pianist, distinguished professor at Stony Brook University and artist member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Debussy’s Paris: Portraits of the Belle Époque takes readers on a tour of Paris through detailed descriptions of the city’s diversions and the music Debussy wrote reflecting them. Catherine Kautsky explores how key works reveal not only the most appealing aspects of Paris, but also the more disquieting attitudes of the time. In contrast to the childlike innocence of fairy tales, minstrel shows had racist overtones, colonization entailed domination, and the brooding nationalism of the era was rife with hostility. Debussy left no avenue unexplored, and his piano works present a sweeping overview of the passions, vices, and obsessions of the era’s Parisians.
