On Sunday 17th September, a group of Year 10 students went on a 6 hour orienteering hike around the Silver Pagoda Mountain Park. This was as part of an introduction to the International Award / Duke of Edinburgh Scheme.
They were dropped off at the Silver Pagodas and from there had to orientate / find their way on a route to Hai Zi village, with a compass and map. The hardest part of the walk was hiking up the steep narrow path to the top of the Silver Pagoda lookout summit. The students certainly learnt the value of good orienteering, leadership and teamwork. A most rewarding time was had by all when we reached at Hai Zi village, despite the afternoon heavy rain.
The students performed well and showed enthusiasm, stamina and commitment to compete the hike. They were a credit to themselves and the school. Many thanks to the following BSB staff – Ms Deborah Spencer, Mr John Zheng, Mr Stephen Kulali, Mrs Julie Schimann and Mr David Needham, who helped chaperone the group.

The British School of Beijing, Shunyi Campus offers the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is renowned for its active learning approach. This method is integral to early childhood education, providing young learners with a solid foundation for their future academic and personal development. At BSB Shunyi, active learning means children learn by doing — through a thoughtful blend of teacher-guided activities and independent exploration that develops both their academic skills and their love of learning.
The British School of Beijing recently hosted BritMUN 2025, a Model United Nations (MUN) event that highlights the exceptional organisational and leadership skills of our students. This year's conference was a remarkable success, attracting student delegates from many different schools across Beijing, including the British School of Beijing, the International School of Beijing, Dulwich College Beijing, and Beijing World Youth Academy.
