Celebrating Gratitude and Character at WZIS: A Reflection on Our PTL Assembly

At Weihai Zhongshi International School (WZIS), we hold both academic achievement and character development in the highest regard. Our assemblies and ceremonies are not only a platform to celebrate academic excellence but also an opportunity to recognize students—our “bobaes”—who embody our core values: Responsibility, Respect, Wisdom, Self-Expression, and Holistic Education. Throughout the year, faculty and staff nominate students who consistently demonstrate these values. Those honored are awarded certificates and enjoy a free smoothie from our popular school café—a small but meaningful gesture of appreciation for their efforts.
