The parents of the seventh graders at SIP Xingwan School got a good chance to learn more about their children's school life on May 11, the school’s open day, when they toured around the west campus and audited a few demo classes.

At the English and physical education classes, the parents acquired a better understanding of the school’s curriculum and teaching modes. Then the students read their class rules for the parents and showcased their blackboard bulletins and handiworks to them. They also staged wonderful performances like singing, musical instrument playing and cross talk for the parents and demonstrated their painting and calligraphy skills.

The event received positive response from the parents, who expect more events of similar kind in the future.

"The event is designed to enhance our interaction with the parents so that we can jointly do a better job in giving the children a helping hand in their growth," said Wang Lihong, head of the seventh grade teaching office,
