A huge thank you to Jordan West-Pratt, our valued member and Dean of Students and Community Life, for hosting us for an invaluable morning at Vanke Meisha Academy!
The school’s seaside location, overlooking Hong Kong, provides a stunning natural environment. We received a comprehensive overview from the incredible leadership team, including Principal Felix Dou, Dean of Academic Affairs – US Track, Sabrina Waterfield, and Dean of Academic Affairs, Yuanzhi Xia. It’s great to meet Andri Nel-Rasmussen again since our last LYIS Lead Meet!
We enjoyed a fascinating dialogue on several key topics, such as:
⭐️ 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: Strategies and best practices.
⭐️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲: Its role in student learning and supporting the school’s Mission, Vision, and Values.
⭐️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐥: Understanding the role and its responsibilities.
⭐️ 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬: Their impact on student development and future success.
and much more!
