But some of our brave students from Wells On Nut proved that Photoshop can be conquered even by the grade level they are in now, which is middle school . They are happy to share some of their work here.

Under the guidance of their dedicated teacher, Mr. Jess, the students delved into the basics of what Photoshop can offer for beginners. Each one-hour session was a fun, hands-on discovery of basic Photoshop tools that can turn keen creatives from nobodies to conquerors.

The following skills were learned and applied to their digital artworks: 

• Using selection tools to seamlessly cut the edges of a text or image
• Using the adjustment layers to alter colors, lights, and shadows
• Using Layer masking to hide or show part of the image
• Choosing the right font styles and combinations
• Applying gradient colors for background or texts
• Using blend modes to mix elements for an overall desired look

With every passing session, the students’ confidence in conquering Photoshop and their proficiency grew as evident in the output below.

From movie posters, Halloween-themed graphics that sent shivers down the spine, and banners for travel guides that beckoned wanderlust—they explored a diverse array of projects, each showcasing their evolving ability of Photoshop’s myriad features.

The skills learned from this after-school class are not only meant for Photoshop but can also be applied with other graphic designing software such as Pixlr, GIMP, or Canva. When you learn or conquer Photoshop you are ready to use any image editing software out there.

Our middle school students are just starting. There are more cool projects waiting to be discovered. They started from nothing but now are conquerors! You can be like them, too. 

Conquering Adobe Photoshop after-school class will continue for another term. Don’t miss this opportunity. If you are interested, be sure to contact Wells On Nut school office.

On April 2nd, our high school community gathered for a showcase and celebration of the culmination of the Class of 2021’s co-curricular learning journeys. Despite limitations resulting from the pandemic, our Class of 2021 seniors have persevered over the past year, continuing to pursue their passions and remain committed to personal development and growth. This took various forms, including involvement in student-led clubs, athletics, extra-curricular activities, service learning, internships and virtual conferences. All of these experiences have helped them develop valuable life skills, unique talents, and a clearer vision of their future directions after graduation.

Teachers and students shared in the celebration of learning and accomplishments of our Senior Class, beginning with an introduction from our emcees, Soumili Kar and Amr Awad, and special dance performances presented by our Korean Club and some of our senior girls. This was followed by a CAS montage video, highlighting some of the favorite CAS experiences, made by Pooja Sachdev.

The Showcase featured an exhibition of student presentations, highlighting their favorite CAS experiences and memories. Guests were encouraged to chat with the members of the Senior class about the learning and lessons they gained outside of the classroom throughout high school. All of our high school service clubs also hosted booths to sell goods and raise money for their respective causes.

Finally, there was a high-demand performance by the Breakdance club, followed by a special song and piano rendition of Miley Cyrus’ ‘The Climb’ performed by Hrithi Bhattacharya and Pam Chatdecha, dedicated to their classmates.

Congratulations to the Class of 2021! May you continue your lifelong learning journey, developing your strengths and areas of growth, and continuing to make positive contributions to the people and communities around you.

In Taiwan, the students enjoyed the view of the capital city at Taipei 101 and visited several markets such as Raohe night market and Ximending shopping street. They also hiked around Shifen waterfall and released lanterns with wishes for good luck at Shifen Old Street. They learned how to make traditional Taiwanese pineapple cakes at the Taiwanese Nougat Museum.

On the last day of their trip, they visited the active volcano at Yangmingshan National Park and made ceramic plates at Yingee Old Street.

This trip encouraged students to step out of their comfort zones, opened their eyes to new cultures and experience, and taught them skills in independence, communication, and responsibility. They ended the trip with many valuable memories, experiences, and skills that will hopefully last them a lifetime.

Special appreciation goes out to Mrs. Lee, chairwoman, for organizing the trip and itinerary, and to the chaperones for taking care of the students throughout the trip.

On Saturday, February 23, fourteen members of our Wells Model United Nations (MUN) Club attended the fourteenth annual session of Ruamrudee International School’s Model United Nations. Derek, Lina and Sapal from our Class of 2020 served as chairs of three different committees. The remainder of our MUN students represented delegates from various countries in the following committees: Security Council, ECOSOC, DISEC, UNCSW, HRC and General Assembly. In the different committees, the issues discussed, debated and resolved included the Rohingya Crisis, the protection of journalist rights and freedom of the press, reducing the gender wage gap, and the prevention and control of communicable diseases.

Our students did well representing their respective countries and critically thinking from different perspectives. Lastly, we thank Ruamrudee International School for their hospitality and we look forward to continuing to represent the Wells MUN club in other local and international conferences in the future.
