The Flag Raising Ceremony-“Thinkers”

On the morning of November 4, 2024, the flag raising ceremony of Wuxi United International School was held in the gymnasium, with the theme of “Thinkers” for this month

True thinker approaches problems thoughtfully, applies logic, and connects ideas across different subjects. In the IB syllabus, we’re encouraged to think both critically and creatively. This not only helps us solve complex problems, but also gives us the power to see multiple perspectives, which is essential in today’s world.

Ms. Fanny—CIE COORDINATOR, gave a speech about thinker from the perspectives of economics.She encouraged students ‘’Be intentional, be curious, and let your mind explore all options, all trade-offs, and all new ideas that will open your future to the widest horizons. Embrace being a Thinker, and see just how impactful your thoughtful decisions can be for yourself and others. ’
