The art of exceptional talent

ON October 10, students, parents, teachers and friends gathered in the Assembly Hall of Yew Chung International School of Shanghai's (YCIS Shanghai's) Gubei Campus for the inaugural IGCSE Visual and Performing Arts Showcase.

This evening was a presentation of the exceptional talent from the recently completed IGCSE examinations in Art and Design, Design and Technology (DT), Drama and Music and was instigated to highlight examples of the school's motto - "YCIS will Align with Culture and Arts" - in this, its 80th anniversary year.

Those in attendance were treated to wonderful live music and drama performances from Year 12 students Isabelle, Patrick, Jae Yong, Peter and Jerry, and to an exhibition-styled arrangement of Art and DT works and workbooks which were on display for all to admire and critique.

The crowd was also entertained by background music composed by students.

One of the most pleasing aspects of the event was the large number of younger IGCSE students in attendance. These students were able to see first-hand what it will take to be successful in their IGCSE examinations. For the students performing and displaying works, it also gave them a wonderful opportunity to experience some of the requirements of the IB program that they have coming up.

An evening like this could never work without the wonderfully talented students who provided the performances and displays. Congratulations to all of the students who completed exams in Art and Design, DT, Drama and Music for your tremendous efforts!
