BIS parents and teachers' soccer team have embraced a philosophy of promoting a sense of belonging and sportsmanship. In line with this spirit, the school is hosting the Wuxi community Tournament in November, where eight great teams from the city have been accepted to participate. This tournament aims to cultivate inclusivity, enhance cultural exchange, and foster a healthy competitive environment.
