April Jiang, a Grade 8 pupil from Hiba Academy Nantong, stood out among 240 dancers in the national competition "Super Dancers" with her dance – Growing up in the Sunshine. Alice won first place, and became the only dancer directly qualified for the 2024 finals. Hosted by Shanghai Theatre Academy and China Association of Vocational Education in Art, Alice Jiang’s performance in this competition demonstrated the talent, confidence and composure of Hiba pupils.
Mr. Simon Kenworthy, the Master, deeply proud and honored that Alice won the award. "Alice's outstanding performance in this competition demonstrates the success of a holistic education for pupils at Hiba Nantong. Both art and academic subjects are equally important. The confidence, courage, and creativity that pupils gain in art education in Hiba Nantong enable them to become an all rounded people. This holistic education philosophy has always been upheld by Hiba."
We want to inspire every Hiba pupil to ‘Be You’ and ‘Be More’. By encouraging them to discover their inner creative spirit, we widen their world, enabling them to discover their true passion and talent.
