In December

a“strange” fashion quietly took hold on HIS campus

Socks in the corridors were no longer paired, but boldly mismatched

Green plants outside classrooms were adorned with cards filled with gentle words

During breaks, someone would always blush and smile at an unexpected compliment…

All of this began with a simple yet firm belief: Your differences are our strength, and bullying has no place here.

Over the three-week6th Anti-Bullying Campaign, we chose a warmer, more proactive, and resolute way to build a truly inclusive, friendly, and brave campus. And it is every HIS student who truly drives all of this.

How do we define “strength”?

Is it a strong body?

Excellent grades?

Or a loud voice?

In the just-past December, teachers and students across the school gave the answer with actions:

True strength is the courage to say “no” to all forms of bullying; it is the clarity to stand on the side of kindness and respect; it is the responsibility to take the initiative to step forward when seeing others being isolated.

This is not just a “campaign”, but a solemn answer to“what kind of campus we want to build together”.

Starting with “Seeing”

Let Kindness Be Remembered and Harm Be Stopped

At the beginning of the campaign, we reviewed the journey we have taken over the past five years. Every frame flashing on the big screen was a“Kindness Declaration” written by senior students, and also an“Anti-Bullying Commitment” we all made together.

We screened Wonder not just to move people, but to understand—understanding the stares that those who are “different” may endure, and how a supportive word or an accompanying gesture can become the strongest armor against bullying.

Meanwhile, we launched the“Worry Box” anonymous talk channel and let the Psychology Club enter every classroom. The message we want to convey is clear: If you are experiencing unease, someone here is willing to listen; if you witness inappropriate behavior, we encourage you to speak up.

In this diverse and caring environment, students also naturally experience learning Mandarin as part of daily campus life—communicating across cultures, expressing empathy, and building connections that go beyond language itself.

Let “Differences” Be Medals Let “Kindness” Become a Habit

We designed a series of“small but powerful” interactions, allowing everyone to become an initiator of kindness and a stopper of bullying.

01 Odd Socks Day

On December 12th, we wore mismatched socks. This seemingly interesting act is a serious declaration: We accept each other’s differences and reject any ridicule and exclusion because of being “different”.

Every pair of“strange socks” says: Your uniqueness deserves to be respected, not judged.

02 “Good Person” Campaign

A pink card records those easily overlooked kind deeds: helping classmates explain a difficult problem, pulling a chair for someone dining alone, seriously saying “That’s not right” when hearing an inappropriate joke.

We believe that to fight against bullying, we not only need to say “no”, but also take the initiative to do the “right” things.

03 “Compliment Campaign” Lights Up the Campus

Every day, warm themes scroll on the electronic class boards: “Compliment someone around you who always listens patiently”, “Compliment classmates who dare to express different opinions in groups”…

We use language to build a more positive public opinion environment, making the sound of praise loud enough so that harsh words have nowhere to hide.
