MXIS 30th Anniversary Celebration

Celebrating the Third Decade of School

Since 1993, the Manila Xiamen International School has reached its 30th anniversary. This milestone is a testament to the school’s unwavering commitment to providing quality education to its students. Throughout the years, MXIS has grown and evolved, adapting to the changing needs of its community. The school has become a second home for many students, offering not just academic excellence but also a nurturing environment that fosters personal growth and development. As we celebrate this momentous occasion, we look back with pride at all that MXIS has achieved.

The first day of the program began with the MXIS School Fair event, where students from all grade levels exhibited their talents to the teachers, parents, and their fellow classmates. The preschool department prepared a group dance performance, while the lower school department presented a field demonstration at the gym. Furthermore, each grade level in the lower school had their own class performances, which included dances. The middle and upper school students played band instruments as a team. Additionally, a talent show was hosted, which served as a platform for students to show off the talents and skills they have. These performances were always highly anticipated events, with students and teachers alike eagerly looking forward to them.

The second and third day of the celebration were composed of the MXIS Sportsfest event, which was back in action after two years due to the pandemic situation in Xiamen. Involving all students and teachers from different grade levels, sports including basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, and obstacle relay were competed in by two teams, the Blue Berries and the Yellow Lemons, each team representing each school color. The games were intense and highly competitive, as each team gave their best shot. It was a great opportunity for students to showcase their skills and talents in sports while also promoting teamwork and sportsmanship. The participants had a great time bonding with each other while engaging in physical activities that promote overall health and well-being. It is heartening to see that even during these difficult times, students can still come together to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
