Asia-Pacific Volleyball Cup 2026 in Hong Kong – An unforgettable experience! 🏐

From February 1st to 5th, our IFS middle school students took part in the 3rd edition of the Asia-Pacific Volleyball Cup in Hong Kong, alongside seven other French international schools from across the region. 🌏

The tournament officially kicked off with a vibrant opening ceremony, bringing together 180 players, a parade of all delegations, official speeches from AEFE and local representatives, and a traditional lion dance to bless the competition. The energy was incredible right from the start, with participating schools from Hong Kong, Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Kyoto, Bali and Singapore.

Congratulations to the tournament champions:
🥇 Singapore A (Girls)
🥇 Phnom Penh A (Boys)

Beyond the rankings, this tournament was all about team spirit, fair play, cultural exchange and unforgettable memories. Our students loved being part of this international adventure and represented IFS with pride and energy throughout the competition. 💙

Celebrating Mandarin Culture Through Creativity & Kindness 🌏✨

In the lead-up to this special time of year, our students have been bringing Mandarin culture to life through art, tradition, and generosity.

Our CE2 students created beautiful greeting cards, each featuring a hand-painted horse and a thoughtful message carefully written and attached with care. 🐎🎨

Meanwhile, our 5eme students, as part of their Mandarin Culture & Civilisation classes, crafted traditional red lanterns, Chunlian (Spring Festival couplets), and intricate paper cuttings to decorate not only our school, but also a local hospital, helping to brighten the days of people in need during this meaningful season. 🏮❤️

As part of their Civic Education (EMC), a group of Terminale students chose to get involved in a Humanitarian Group project and went to Crawfurd Hospital to meet the patients and personally share the creations made by the CE2 and 5eme students.
A wonderful example of learning with purpose and heart.

With the active involvement of their Mandarin teachers Mrs Chang and Mrs Chen, our students learned that culture is not only something to study, but something to share, using creativity to spread joy, connection, and hope.

We would also like to thank @cdgtaxi , who kindly provided transportation for our students to travel to the hospital. 🙏🚌

IFS Day – Part 2/2 🌍

One post was not enough to capture the richness of IFS Day, so here is the second part of our cultural journey around the world.

Once again, a huge thank you to all the families and community members who shared their traditions, stories, music, dances and flavors with our students. Your passion and generosity truly made this day unforgettable.

IFS Day is more than an event — it is a living reflection of our values: openness, respect, curiosity and learning through experience. 💙🌍

💙🌍 IFS Day Part 1/2 – A Celebration of Diversity, Community and Joy! 💙🌍

IFS Day was an unforgettable moment for our whole school community! The day took place in an incredible, joyful atmosphere, made possible thanks to the amazing involvement and commitment of our parents and the entire IFS community.

A total of 30 stands were set up:
France, China, Brazil, Bangladesh, Australia, Morocco, Canada, India, Spain, Chile, Taiwan, Greece, Mexico, Egypt, Germany, USA, Indonesia, Tunisia, Czech Republic, Guatemala, Korea, Portugal, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Algeria, Hong Kong, and Lebanon.

Each stand was beautifully prepared with traditional costumes, written materials on history, gifts and discoveries, flags, games and decorations, and delicious culinary specialties to showcase the traditions, origins, and cultures.

Our students from CP, CE1, CE2, CM1 and CM2 visited the stands in rotation with a special passport created for the occasion. At every stop, they learned about a new culture and had their passport stamped, turning learning into a real journey around the world. ✈️

IFS Day truly reflects the joy, cultural diversity, and spirit of our community, as well as our school’s philosophy of learning while having fun. It was a unique and meaningful experience for everyone, and one that will definitely be renewed next year! 🌟

Our sincere thanks and congratulations to all organizers, Johanna Boutard, the Parents’ Committee, and a huge thank you to the more than 100 parent volunteers who gave their heart and soul to make this day a success and a true celebration of multiculturalism, filled with joy, music, dance, and meaningful moments of sharing.

From practice to success. 🧪
In the classroom: precision.
During the exams: confidence.

Earlier this year, our Terminale students successfully carried out the full synthesis of aspirin (acide acétylsalicylique) in their Physics-Chemistry lab among other practical work and classes.

A perfect reminder that they have the skills, the method and the mindset needed for the baccalauréat blanc - Mock exams this week.

Good luck to all our Terminales, you’ve already proven you can go all the way. 🍀

It’s a wrap for the first school trip of the year to Bintan! 🌴✨

Our CM2 students enjoyed an unforgettable adventure filled with discovery, teamwork and fun. From racing traditional jong boats and building sandcastles, to taking part in Olympiads (shoe-skiing, basketball, football, pétanque and archery), every moment was packed with excitement.

They explored a fishing village and learned how to build traditional fish traps, visited a local heritage museum, created papier-mâché using marine plants, and investigated coastal ecosystems through water quality experiments.

Highlights also included raft building and races, kayaking and dragon boat rides, local cooking workshops, coconut tree climbing, mangrove night cruises to observe fireflies ✨, and magical evenings around the campfire with music and grilled marshmallows.

A beautiful way to start the year: learning beyond the classroom and creating lifelong memories. 💙

IFS Students in Action: A Commitment to Solidarity 🌱

On Saturday 24 January, a group of students and teachers from IFS dedicated their time to support @willinghearts_sg , a local charity that prepares and distributes over 10,000 meals every day to the most vulnerable members of the Singapore community.

This meaningful initiative followed a conference held on Friday 16 January on careers in humanitarian work and philanthropy, organised in collaboration with the IFS Orientation team and with the participation of Ms Armelle Le Comte. Inspired by this exchange, our students turned ideas into action.

A special mention goes to Camila and Sumi, members of the Student Humanitarian Group, who fully orchestrated the project, from the initial conference to the on-site volunteering day. An inspiring example of leadership, commitment, and initiative. 👏

Our warm thanks also go to our colleagues Ms Larrieu and Ms Bocquet for accompanying and supporting the students during this solidarity action. 🙏

💙 We are extremely proud of the students’ engagement, seriousness, and generosity, a true reflection of the IFS values.

Korea–Singapore Musical Exchange at IFS 🇰🇷🇸🇬🎶

What an unforgettable moment it was to welcome the Gijang Youth Recorder Ensemble from Korea, conducted by Mr. Han Kyung-min, to our campus this January 2026!

As part of a rich cultural exchange, the orchestra and the IFS secondary choir collaborated in a 2h workshop, creating a beautiful fusion of voices and instruments that filled the space with music and emotion. 🌟

Highlights from the session included:
🎵 A wonderful performance by the Gijang Youth Recorder Ensemble
🎵 A collaborative segment where our choir sang alongside the ensemble, on “Bunga Sayang”.

This inspiring encounter truly celebrated the universal language of music, while nurturing friendship, creativity, and cross-cultural understanding among our young musicians.

Thank you to our head of music teacher Julie Demange and Fran Ho who made this musical journey so special, memories that will resonate for a long time to come.
