The Reawakening of Global Citizenship

A Message from Mark Bridgeman, Acting Head of School, Merchiston International School

Over the past few years, ongoing global changes have redefined our understanding of community, resilience and connection. In the future, MIS Shenzhen students will take on the responsibilities of global citizenship, with a brand-new spirit, to embrace the joys of global citizenship and the extraordinary opportunities that extend beyond our campus.


This month, teams from MIS are competing in theWorld Scholar's Cup Tournament of Champions at Yale University, a testament to their intellectual curiosity and collaborative spirit.


Meanwhile, our Lower Seniors are participating in this week's Hiking Challenge Week (Wanlv Lake in Heyuan city), an experience that will not only test their physical endurance but also nurture their independence and teamwork.

Fun

Our sporting programmes continues to thrive, with a sports tour to Malaysia on the horizon. These opportunities offer our athletes the chance to compete internationally, building camaraderie and resilience while representing Merchiston on a global stage. 


And as we look towards summer, the excitement grows with planned summer camps in the UK and USA, offering students the invaluable experience of cultural exchange and personal growth in world-class settings.

At the heart of these endeavors lies our commitment to fostering global citizenship—a core pillar of our mission at MIS. These experiences also play a significant role in developing academic excellence. Exposure to diverse environments, cultures, and challenges enriches students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, equipping them to approach their studies with fresh perspectives and confidence.

Activities such as the World Scholar's Cup sharpen analytical and debate skills, while outdoor challenges and sports tours enhance leadership and decision-making—all key attributes that drive academic achievement.


As Acting Head of School, I am deeply proud to see our students stepping confidently into these opportunities. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and resilience inspire us all to envision a future rich in shared experiences and mutual understanding.

Let's celebrate their journeys, not only for the milestones achieved but for the values they embody—academic excellence, respect, resilience, and a shared commitment to making our world a better place.
