Communitas Magazine: Fall Issue Hot off the Press!

Our Communitas school magazine is back! After a year-long hiatus, our new fall issue is hot off the press.  

We have shown perseverance and growth as our community continues to navigate new and old challenges. Many of our community members have found passions of their own to continue driving their personal development as well as those around them. The following Communitas magazine is centered around being “Inspired by Passion” and provides an opportunity to hear from a few of our community members and their passions.  

We hope that all our readers experience happiness, good health, and a chance to be inspired by their passions throughout the winter ahead. We invite you to grab a warm drink and (virtually) flip through the pages of the latest Communitas edition.  

Inspired by Passion (Pg. 4):

Cover Story

Daniel Eschtruth, Director of Schools at SCIS

Passion gives meaning to the things we choose to do in our lives. It makes us realize something about who we are deep down. They come from identifying one’s purpose which allows a person to give their best self. Could you name at least one thing you are passionate about in your life that came about from your own experience of being curious and acting on this curiosity?   

Creativity Takes Courage (Pg. 20):

The Arts

Brent Blalock, PYP Art Teacher at SCIS Hongqiao

The most useful and powerful tool known to all humankind and across all disciplines is creativity. Creativity is the courage to try some new way, knowing and expecting that it might fail, but in that, you may gain some new knowledge or idea. For this reason, it is necessary to teach creativity as the most important life skill. Learning creativity and developing the willingness to take risks will benefit students for the rest of their lives.

Teacher Spotlight

Nick Spring-Peers

The best part of teaching internationally is the diversity within the classroom. Each student with their interpretation and perspective makes it so amazing. Students can develop such incredible mindsets about the world and themselves. There is power in choosing growth and personal development. When we nudge students in the direction of personal development alongside their studies, they can unlock a lot of potentials.
