Depicting the world
with art and creativity
During their art lessons, pupils produced aesthetically appealing drawings of famous buildings and fairy tale fantasy stories using gradient backgrounds and techniques. They also painted various objects and scenery found around the world on glass and mirrors.
After creating numerous observational drawings, they combined them in the group work phase of their project to create a large-scale canvas. Finally, they presented their artworks and the inspiration behind them to family and friends with great enthusiasm.
Let’s exercise!
Golf, archery, jiu-jitsu, self-defence
– you name it!
What are the proper stances and grips in golf? What are the basic movements of archery practice? What physical defence techniques are applicable in the face of danger? What are the escape techniques in jiu-jitsu? What are the fundamentals of learning to swim? Pupils at the Global Sports Camps found the answers to these questions and learned many practical and exciting skills over the summer.
David
During the Brazilian jiu-jitsu lesson, the teacher asked me to help him show what a failed self-defence attempt looked like. Helping the teacher gave me a great sense of accomplishment.
Mona
When I first started learning how to swim, I was scared, but my teacher encouraged me. I agreed to lie down on the float and overcome my fear gradually. I felt very brave.
Explore the mystery of
space through scientific practice
How many individuals discover their passion for science through conducting engaging experiments? Despite appearing as minor experiments, they contain a vast amount of scientific knowledge. During our summer camp, children utilised paper rocket experiments to comprehend the principles behind rocket motion. Under the guidance of their teacher, they launched the rockets, recorded and analysed data, and examined variables in the experiment. They also acknowledged the importance of air resistance and constructed suitable parachutes for their water rockets.
Steven
Science lessons are incredibly engaging. For every project, we had the opportunity to do hands-on practice and we learned so much.
Geography excitement
Our geography lessons at the summer camp are comprehensive. Pupils learned physical geography through the study of various landforms, human geography through settlement types and cultural geography through languages and traditions. They also explored different rich types of climates and weather patterns as well as abundant natural resources. Additionally, they engaged in discussions about existing environmental problems and the practical application of geography in daily life. They then demonstrated what they learned in a final project.
Our pupils remarked,
We learned about the beauty of our planet, the diverse range of cultures and customs around the world and gained an awareness of existing environmental issues. We hope to make a positive impact to create a better world.
Grasping English in an
immersive environment
We use language as a tool, and English is the most widely used language in the world. While immersing themselves in the unique language environment of Wellington College Hangzhou, pupils told stories in English and acquired the English names of plants and animals in the field with their teachers. They also used English to discuss topics related to their daily lives and interests, such as history and culture, music and art, food and cooking, technology and innovation, literature and poetry, and sports and fitness.
Educational Concept
We want a broader community to have a sense of our holistic approach to education, where we instil our values - respect, kindness, courage, responsibility and integrity - and cultivate them into talents with our identities of being inspired, intellectual, individual, independent and inclusive. The summer camp will be conducted under this ethos.
Language Environment
We are dedicated to creating an immersive bilingual language environment for pupils through our unique language teaching approach to improve their bilingual listening, reading, writing and speaking skills.
Facilities
The campus boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including a thermostatic race swimming pool with six lanes and a 560-seat Grand Theatre for large performances equipped with a hydraulic orchestra pit, allowing children to enjoy a world-class learning environment. (The site for the summer camp also includes the archery hall, outdoor golf area, indoor gym, science lab and Black Box Theatre).
Catering included
The school catering provider Sodexo will provide rich, healthy and nutritious meals (including morning snacks and lunch).
