At Nanjing International School, community is more than just a word—it's the foundation of everything we do! We’re an inclusive learning community, and this wonderful sense of belonging was on full display at our recent Welcome BBQ, where students, families, and staff gathered to kick off and celebrate another inspiring school year. The event was held at the picturesque Westin Resort & Spa Hotel at the Nanjing Garden Expo, drawing almost 400 guests from across our school community.

The day featured an array of delicious dishes and refreshing drinks, all provided by the Westin. From sizzling barbecue to cold beverages and desserts, there was something for everyone. Meanwhile, children enjoyed a wide variety of activities, including a slip-n-slide, magic performances, and creative arts and crafts, all organised by the Pfrang Association, our school’s primary charity.

Amid the laughter and excitement, the Welcome BBQ offered a perfect opportunity for new and returning families to connect and strengthen their bond with our school and each other. We can’t wait for our biggest community event in October, the PTA Autumn Festival!
