Sports Competition: Building Bridges Between Campuses

Xiehe Education consistently upholds the core philosophy and educational mission of “East and West for Harmonious Development.” The Interschool Tournament platform allows students from different campuses, who might otherwise be strangers, to meet, get to know each other, and build friendships through competition. The diverse campus cultures learn from and grow together through their interactions, continuously injecting new vitality into the development of each school.

Educational Mission: Forging Character, Practicing Holistic Education

Xiehe Education emphasizes the comprehensive development of students. On Saturday, the campus was vibrant with cheers and shouts rising from the sports fields, where the spirit of sports was fully displayed – resilience, teamwork, and the courage to challenge oneself became integral parts of the campus culture. This positive atmosphere inspired everyone present, encouraging them to carry the passion from the field into their studies and daily lives.
The Interschool Tournament is not just about sports competition; it is a vivid practice of Xiehe’s whole-person education philosophy: allowing students to relieve stress and strengthen their bodies amidst intense academic work, while also helping teachers gain a deeper appreciation for the importance of physical education in student development.

Congratulations to all participating teams for their outstanding performances!

We believe students will carry the tenacious spirit demonstrated on the field into their studies and lives, continuously striving and pursuing excellence.

Congratulations to all the SUIS teams!
