WISS-WIDE EVENTS

Each year, WISS offers a number of school-wide events which we encourage you and your
family to attend. These are opportunities to connect with students across our three divisions
and to see the tremendous talent of our student body at our school. There are a number of
events to attend throughout the year, including the following important annual celebrations:

WISStival Winter Bazaar
November

WISStival is WISS’s annual winter bazaar. This
event includes many fun elements such as a
festive holiday market, amazing food vendors, an
international bake sale, raffle draws scheduled
throughout the day, Rudolph’s Warehouse (kids
only shopping area), and/or a photo opportunity
with Santa in the North Pole. One hundred percent of our proceeds benefit WISS supported
charities. This is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate the holidays together. WISStival is
held if permitted by governement regulations.

International Day
April
41
International Day is our biggest event of the year! Over 30 countries are represented with
national costumes, flags, and food stalls. At each stall, you can discover the sights, tastes
and sounds of countries around the world. We also offer a parade where all students and
families are welcome to join the WISS procession. International Day is held if permitted by
governement regulations.

For questions about our WISS-wide events, please contact our admissions and marketing
department at [email protected].

SECONDARY EVENTS 42

We also offer several events throughout the year specifically for our Secondary students.
These include:

Assembly

When possible, and following currently government regulations, an assembly is held. It is
a time when we can come together as a full division and participate in a shared experience.
Assembly topics can range from performances to speakers to student recognition. You will
attend assembly in your homeroom section - gathering first in the classroom and then coming
down to the Orsini Theatre as a class.

We are always looking for ideas for assemblies. If you have any suggestions, please email Ms.
Mosher at [email protected].

Class Field Trips
Various Times Throughout the Year

Class field trips are an important part of Secondary School life as we follow the IB inquiry
approach, which suggests that students learn best through authentic experiences from which
they can construct knowledge. From such trips students develop questions and some answers
about where we are, how things work, how different people and environments interact, and
so on. As a student, you will always need to get your parents’ permission to attend a field trip
so be sure to have them sign the necessary paperwork so that you can participate. Please note
that field trips may require a small cover charge.

Explore China
Spring

In spring, students in grades 6-10 go on exciting trips around Shanghai and China by grade
level. This is an opportunity for students to explore new places, experience the culture of their
host country, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with their classmates.

For questions about Explore China, please contact Mr. D’Airelle at [email protected].

Sports Day
April

Sports day is a chance for all of our students in grades 6-10 to show off their skills and talents
through various athletic events. These events include short and long distance running, shot
put, long jump, and high jump. Sports Day is held in accordance with government regulations.
If you have any questions regarding Sports Day, please contact Coach Anderson at tanderson@

Graduations
May & June

We offer two graduation ceremonies each year in June. The first graduation takes place in late

43 May to recognize our Grade 12 students as they move on to their post-secondary experiences.
The second graduation takes place in late June to recognize our Grade 10 MYP students as they

move on to the Diploma Programme or Career-related Programme in Grade 11.

SPORTS & ATHLETICS 44

At WISS we believe that sports and athletics are an integral part of the Secondary School. We
are committed to offering sports designed to broaden the experiences and education of those
students who participate. Our primary objectives are to develop in our student-athletes the
skills required by specific sports and the skills that will help them be successful in their adult
lives. WISS believes that student-athletes have an additional responsibility as ambassadors
of the school and expects them to adhere to a personal code of conduct consistent with the
values of sportsmanship, scholarship, integrity, and commitment to oneself and their team.

Practices for sports generally take place 2-3 times per week from 3:20p.m.-4:50p.m. Monday-
Friday. When activities are held, there is a late bus provided with limited stops at 5p.m.
Monday-Friday. Games are often scheduled in the evenings or on the weekends.

Though the exact sports offerings change each year depending on interest, and government
regulations, below you will find a list of possible offerings both for boys and/or for girls
(sometimes mixed teams). An exact list will be published at the start of each semester and
distributed to families with meeting times and locations.

AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES (ASA) 46

of charge.

ASA generally take place 2-3 times per week from 3:20p.m.-4:50p.m. Monday-Friday. There is

WISS
RULES
& EXPECTATIONS

ATTENDANCE 48

You are expected to arrive on time to school each day by 8:20a.m. to ensure that you
can start your first class promptly at 8:30a.m. If you are unable to make it into school,
your parents or guardians will need contact our secondary office by 9a.m. through
ManageBac, email or a phone call so that we can record your absence as an excused
absence. You, yourself, cannot make this contact with the school - only a parent or a
guardian. Excused absences include illness, medical/dental appointments, consulate
appointments, family events/trips, etc. Please note that WISS does not consider
oversleeping an excused absence. We expect that our students will get up each day
and make it to school on time.

Once on campus, students are expected to remain for the duration of the day unless
signed out by a parent.

Please note that all students must depart campus at the close of the school day at
3:20p.m. unless they are in the library, involved in an act ivit y, or are working under the
supervision of a teacher.

Success at WISS is very much tied to consistent attendance. If you anticipate that
you may have a long term absence due to illness or a family event, please have your
parents or guardians inform Mr. D’Airelle. If you are absent for more than 20 days
during the academic year, for any reason, you may not be able to move on to the
next grade level as you will not have had completed enough of the curriculum (or
to graduate if you are in Grade 12). This will be decided on a case-by-case basis by
Mr. D’Airelle.

DRESS CODE

As we are an academic learning community, we expect that our Secondary students will dress
appropriately. If you are a student in Grades 6-10, you will be required to wear the WISS
uniform which can be purchased in the WISS shop located near the entrance of the Secondary
building.

When you are indoors, you will need to wear the light blue polo shirt with WISS logo for the
top, and you may choose one of the following three items for the bottom: dark blue pants, dark
blue shorts, plaid skirt. In addition, you can wear the dark blue zip sweatshirt/hoodie with
WISS logo when needed. You may choose your own shoes but they must be close-toed for
safety reasons (no flip-flops or sandals). Dyed hair, excessive jewelry, and extreme piercings
and hairstyles should be avoided.

If you are out of uniform, you will be asked to go to the WISS store to purchase the correct
uniform outfit. If you are repeatedly out of uniform, your parents will be contacted and a
meeting will be set up to discuss how we can best help support you in coming to school in
uniform.

When you are outdoors, you must also wear your WISS uniform, but you can add additional

49 layers, including coats and jackets in colder weather. However, once indoors, these items must
be removed. If you repeatedly wear these additional items indoors, they may be taken away

from you and returned at the end of the school day.

The only times during the school day when you may be out of uniform are during PHE and
Drama. For PHE, you are required to wear the PHE uniform kit which can be purchased in the
WISS store. For Drama, you may wear black clothing.

On certain days and times of the year, you are excused from wearing all or part of the uniform.
These days and times include:

• Fridays - You may wear dark blue sweatpants with the
WISS logo.

• Game Days - You may wear WISS team sweatshirts. If
the game is on the weekend, you and your teammates may
wear your sweatshirts on the Friday before.

• Special Events - On occasion, WISS will announce to the
community that a day has been deemed a non-uniform
dress down day. If this is the case, you may come to school
in appropriate clothing for a school setting.

If you are in Grade 11 or Grade 12, you may wear casual dress as
a special privilege granted to our older students, but you must
dress appropriately and not wear clothing that is too revealing
or that depicts inappropriate graphics or language (for example,
drug/alcohol paraphernalia or foul language). If students in
Grades 11 and 12 repeatedly wear inappropriate clothes, this
special privilege will be taken away and all students will be
required to wear school uniform.

ACADEMIC HONESTY 50

At WISS, we as a community are committed to academic honesty in all
circumstances. As a student, you share a responsibility in following
ethical academic practices. Across all of our academic programmes, we
require that students never knowingly pass off another’s work as their
own as this is considered to be academic dishonesty.

WISS defines academic dishonesty as the following:

• Copying: taking work of another student, with or without his or
her knowledge and submitting it as one’s own.

• Plagiarism: taking work, words, ideas, pictures, information or
anything that has been produced by someone else and submitting
it for assessment as one’s own.

• Collusion: helping another student to be academically dishonest.

• Cheating on assessments: communicating with another student
during an assessment, bringing unauthorized material into an
exam room, or consulting such material during an assessment in
order to gain an unfair advantage.

• Duplication or recycling: submitting work that is substantially
the same for assessment in different courses without the consent
of all teachers involved.

• Falsifying data: creating or altering data which have not been
collected in an appropriate way.

If you are found to be academically dishonest, there will be a record
of this placed into your student file and your parents will be notified.
Teachers may offer you a chance to redo your work so that it meets
the school’s expectations but this is by no means guaranteed, and it
is possible that you may not be given this opportunity. Each case of
academic dishonesty will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

If you are in Grade 11 or Grade 12, please note that if academically
dishonest work is submitted to a teacher as an official piece of DP
or CP coursework (MYP eAssessment work as well in Grade 10), the
work will not be accepted and no grade will be awarded. If there is
time before the deadline, you will be allowed one chance to resubmit
another piece of work in its place. It is important to note that the IB
does not tolerate academic dishonesty, and if your work is found to be
dishonest, you will not receive your diploma.

WISS SECONDARY STUDENT HANDBOOK  |  2020-2021

Plagiarism

When you write a paper or prepare a presentation and you consult sources, you must use the
Modern Language Association (MLA) format for citing work. This includes websites, books,
etc.

Please note that when you turn in a piece of writing for your teachers, you will often upload it
to ManageBac. Once uploaded, your writing will be analyzed through a program called Turnitin
which will scan your work to identify areas of possible academic dishonesty. The results are
given as a percentage of work found in other sources. Any results over 15%, excluding the
bibliography, are examined in closer detail to see if there is any reason to suspect academic
dishonesty. Your teachers will then read through the report and determine whether you have
presented your work fairly and accurately.

Accidents can happen when you cite your work. Sometimes you may use ideas from another
person’s work without intending to deceive. If you were to take information from a book or
website and use it in your work and forget to cite it correctly, this is what we call academic
infringement. When there is a case of academic infringement, it is your responsibility to
ensure that it doesn’t happen again or it could be classified as academic dishonesty.

51 You are ultimately responsible for your own work. Be sure to speak to your teachers regularly
and show drafts of your work at the various stages in the production process.

If you need advice about correctly citing your work or ensuring honest work, please reach out
to Ms. Kirchoff at [email protected].

PERSONAL ITEMS

As a student in Secondary, you are encouraged
not to bring valuable items to school, including
expensive clothing, jewelry, or electronics.
In addition, you should avoid bringing large
amounts of cash to school. If you do bring a
valuable item such as a smartphone or a laptop,
you are expected to keep it in your possession
or lock it up in your locker at all times. It is
not advisable to leave these items unattended
around school.

Please note that WISS takes no responsibility for
the loss or theft of personal items. WISS works
hard to provide a safe and secure campus with
security guards and cameras, but it is impossible
to guarantee that valuables won’t disappear.

ELECTRONICS 52

At WISS we want our students to be active and engaged in the learning process. As such we
discourage the frequent use of electronics at school. However, we recognize that electronics
are an integral part of life and do have value. Here are several guidelines we have established:

Smartphones
You may bring a smartphone to school. However, it cannot be a disruption to academic learning.
To that end, you may not use a smartphone during class time (unless teacher approved for
academic purposes), and it must be switched to off or vibrate. It is acceptable to use these
devices before school, during morning snack, during lunch, and afterschool in the hallways
and public spaces.

Personal Laptops
WISS has a BYOD policy for students in Grades 6 thorugh 12. Students are required to bring
a personal laptop to school to support your learning. Please refer to the BYOD policy for
addtional information.

Please note, though, that if a laptop becomes a distraction, you will be asked by your teacher
to put it away.

Music Devices
Students may listen to music with headphones outside of class or with permission from a
teacher during class time. Please note that students may not walk around the building in
public spaces with headphones. You will be asked to remove them.

Gaming
Gaming is allowed outside of classrooms in public spaces provided that it is age appropriate, not
offensive, and not a disruption to others. At any time, WISS can restrict gaming if it becomes
a problem.

Please note that WISS has an acceptable use policy which all students must respect and
follow regarding technology.

WISS SECONDARY STUDENT HANDBOOK  |  2020-2021

WISS SECONDARY STUDENT HANDBOOK  |  2020-2021

FOOD & GUM

WISS asks that you consume food in the cafeteria or Secondary Cafe. All dishes and cups must
remain in the cafeteria. However, light snacks may be consumed in the hallways or classrooms
with teacher permission. All food must be cleaned up and disposed of properly.

All students are expected to eat meals and snacks as provided by our catering service. However,
students in Grades 11 & 12 may order food from vendors off campus from time to time if they so
wish. For special events, students in Grades 6-10 may order food off campus with permission
from Mr. D’Airelle.

Please note that WISS is a nut-free school. Students may not bring nuts on to campus as
students have allergies to these products.

Gum is never allowed at school and we ask that you properly dispose of it before entering the
building.

53

ELEVATORS

Elevators may not be used by Secondary students in Grades 6-10. However, if you are injured
(sprained ankle, broken leg, etc.), you may obtain permission from the Secondary Principal. If
you are in Grade 11 or Grade 12, you may use the elevators as a special privilege granted to our
older students. It is expected that all students will treat our elevators well. If that is not the
case, elevator privileges will be revoked.

BULLYING

WISS defines bullying as the repeated use of physical force or intimidation to dominate others.
This can be by repeated hitting, excluding, name-calling, or any other methods designed to
hurt another physically or mentally. This covers every aspect of school life, and can also
include activities and actions outside of school, often in online chat or social media known as
‘cyber bullying’.

WISS staff members are constantly vigilant in the prevention of bullying and the promotion
of mutual care and respect. As a student, if you are subjected to bullying or witness bullying of
any sort, let us know immediately by contacting Mr. D’Airelle or any teacher in the community.
Bullying will not be tolerated.

SOCIAL MEDIA 54

While the use of social media and social networking is fun and valuable, there are some
risks that you as a student need to keep in mind when using these tools. In the social media
and social networking world, the lines are often blurred between what is public or private,
personal or school-related.

Social media refers to online tools and services that allow you to create and publish content
for yourself, for a private group (such as your classmates), or for the general public. Many
of these services use personal profiles where you can post information about yourself and
others. Social media services include Facebook, WeChat, SnapChat, etc.

At WISS, we ask the following two things when you use social media:

Use good judgment
• We expect good judgment from our students in all situations. Behave in a way that will
make you and others proud and reflect well on you and WISS.
• Know and follow WISS’s Acceptable Use Policy.
• Regardless of your privacy settings, assume that all of the information you have shared
on your social network is public information.

Be respectful
• Always treat others in a respectful, positive, and considerate manner.
• As a student at WISS, you may not post anything that could be considered mean or
bullying in behavior towards another student. This includes making offensive or
derogatory comments relating to sex, gender, race (including nationality), sexual
orientation, religion, etc.
• You also may not use social media to post images for other students to see that are
discriminatory and/or offensive. This includes pictures, videos or comments that are of
an inappropriate nature.
• All students must post within the guidelines of Chinese Law.
