SCHOOL NEWS ROUNDUP Harvard Business Alumni Afternoon with Malcolm On 21 November 2015, Beijing’s Harvard Business School Alumni invited Malcolm McKenzie for their afternoon talk series. Focused on the education of the future, Mr. McKenzie emphasized the need for a wellrounded and holistic education. He noted that this should also include a student’s character development, which is often forgotten in today’s educational emphasis on the development of skills. Olympic Fencing Champion Inspires Students “Not to Give Up” As part of Keystone’s ‘Inspiration Series,’ 2008 Olympic fencing champion, Zhong Man spent a few hours with the school community on 23 October 2015. It is hard to imagine a towering Olympian such as Zhong Man failing. But as he shares his life story with a packed audience in the Keystone Academy’s Performing Arts Center, he narrated an experience of successes that came from not giving up, and from learning from failures. Zhong Man definitely inspired parents, teachers and students, especially those who learn fencing at Keystone. The aspiring foilists eagerly imitated Zhong Man’s footwork and strike poses, as he patiently demonstrated his tactics and strategies. 6 THE KEYSTONE MAGAZINE
