“We encouraged pupils to participate in the competition and held an internal selection contest where the winners from each grade were chosen to take part in the official competition. In preparation, teachers helped the candidates to interpret the topic, master the key in writing and learn about the competition agenda through workshops. I am proud of what pupils have achieved. However, the training of one’s critical thinking exceeds the boundaries of competition. It is demonstrated in our daily teaching and learning. As it is said, ‘critical thinking is not confined to the form of speaking, while debating goes beyond the linguistic output’. At Huili, every pupil is endowed with the opportunity to partake in class and grade debate competitions. Teachers include critical thinking training in each lesson design allowing pupils to discuss and debate, learn from both affirmative and negative sides, and present their own ideas in written form.”

It is said that interest is one’s best teacher. With expertise and abundant experience in competitions entered themselves, Huili teachers work to inspire pupils and explore their potential, allowing their passions to shine through. For pupils, these valuable experiences in global contests will be cherished for years to come, and their achievements, a highlight for their future. While competing with pupils worldwide they have exchanged their learning experiences, built a positive attitude toward learning, and strengthened their perseverance and resilience. They gained friendships as well as knowledge and motivated their school peers with their enthusiasm for learning. A huge congratulations to all winners! We know the future holds greatness for you.
