INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS
International AwardPupils at Nanxiang have the opportunity to complete an International Award during their time in the secondary school, alongside their academic studies. These prestigious awards provide young people with exciting opportunities for self-development, adventure, camaraderie and to make a positive contribution to their communities and beyond. Award holders are highly valued by both educational establishments and employers because of their self-confidence, ability to work as part of a team and their leadership skills. Pupils have a chance to progress from a bronze level award, through silver to gold. There are four sections of the programme that candidates must undertake at each level of the award: service, adventurous journey; skills; physical recreation. The commitment to undertake an International Award is significant but this is far outweighed by the rewards. In 2009-10 Nanxiang participants undertook three adventurous journeys - to Nan Bei Hu Mountain, to Tian Mu Mountain and to Hainan - performed community service teaching at a local kindergarten and took part in a public speaking competition in order to develop a new skill.
