校长的话
Message from the Principal
责任是惠立的五大价值观之一，作为惠立社群的学生、学校和家长，我们时常思考各自需要承担什么样的责任。
Responsibility is one of five Hiba values. As a member of the Hiba community, we are constantly thinking about pupils, school, and families duties.
惠立的办学理念“惠贤育能，立德树人”，为惠立社群明晰了我们在惠立需要一直坚守的教育责任。在惠立，我们为学生创造多元又包容的校园文化，通过创新性实施中西融合课程，培养具有“独立之精神，自由之思想，责任之担当”的终身学习者。我们尊重每一位学生的个性特征，呵护学生的好奇心，培养他们的创造力，提供丰富的校内外活动，鼓励学生探索无限潜能。
Our school vision, cultivating talent through virtue, kindness and integrity, has clarified the educational responsibility we adhere to in the community. In Hiba school, we create a diversified and inclusive campus culture for our pupils. By implementing an integrated Chinese and Western curriculum, we cultivate lifelong learners with an "independent spirit, free thought and responsibility". Every pupil's personality is respected, and curiosity and creativity are encouraged here. Varied school activities unlock pupils' potential.
美国教育家Ken Robinson在其广为人知的TED演讲中提出，现在的教育体系培养学生的方式，就像工业社会最初对环境的开发方式一样，更多从“功利性”的角度出发。但随着科技的不断革新，未来的社会将变得更加无法预测，而唯有培养学生的创造力，激发学生内驱力才能帮助他们在不确定的未来有所作为。我建议大家有机会可以听一听他的演讲“学校是否在扼杀创造力”。
During Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk, he mentioned that the current education system trains students in the same way as the development of the environment in the industrial society, more from "utilitarianism". However, with the continuous innovation of science and technology, the future society will become more unpredictable. Only by cultivating students' creativity and stimulating students' internal drive can we help them make a difference in the uncertain future. I suggest that you would watch his speech "Do schools kill creativity?"
尽管惠立学校还是一所年轻的学校，但我们有着坚实的价值基础，遵循以批判的方式融合中西优秀的教育理念，来更好承担我们的教育责任。让学校真正成为学生自由成长的场所，让每个孩子都能有机会在擅长的领域绽放精彩。这也是为什么像惠立这样的学校如此让人兴奋和期待。
Although Hiba Academy Hangzhou is still young, we have a solid value foundation and follow the excellent educational philosophy of integrating China and the West critically to undertake our responsibilities better. Let the school become a place for pupils to grow up freely so that every child can have the opportunity to bloom in their field. This is why Hiba School is full of excitement and high expectation.

上周，康涅狄格大学国际招生主任（中国区）Alex Hu为高中部同学们开设了讲座。Alex是康涅狄格大学校友，向我校九、十年级同学们详细讲述了校园生活和大学的数百门课程，强调了找到 “合适”大学和以快乐的心情攻读大学学位的重要性。Alex强调，世界排名固然是难以忽视的一个因素，但并不是决定申请个人大学申请的最重要因素。要在大学学习中取得成功，地理位置、校园规模、设施、社交生活和学生支持等因素甚至会有着更大的作用。
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Alex Hu, International Admissions Officer (China) from the University of Connecticut. As an alum, Alex spoke passionately about campus life and the hundreds of UConn courses. He told our Grade 9 and 10 pupils about the importance of finding the right ''fit'' university and that this was crucial to being happy while studying for an undergraduate degree. Alex highlighted that it could be challenging to ignore world rankings, but it is not the most critical factor when making university choices. Instead, elements such as location, campus size, facilities, social life and student support play a more prominent role in the path to success at higher education.
Alex主要负责审阅高中生的数千份申请书，并决定录取哪些学生。他指出，仅仅担任运动队队长或学生领袖是不够的，毕竟这是绝大多数其他申请人也会承担的角色；实际上，让申请人脱颖而出的最重要特质是独一无二的特质、详实的个人呈现和鲜明的个人特点。这些是让招生官详细了解申请人、看到学生适应大学生活潜能的特点。
A large part of Alex's job includes reading thousands of applications from high school students and deciding which ones are awarded offers. He noted that being captain of a sports team or a pupil leader was not enough as the vast majority of other applicants would also hold these positions. Therefore, his top tips on making an application stand out were to be unique, give details and make it personal so that he can get an idea of who the applicant is and how they could fit into his university.
我们很幸运能够邀请到招生官们来分享对大学申请的观点和见解。招生官的建议可以让我们的学生比其他申请人更具有竞争优势，同学们也在他们的分享中受益匪浅。
We are lucky to have admissions officers share their perspectives and insights on university applications. The advice they give our students can provide them with a competitive advantage over other applicants. It is certainly worth listening very carefully and taking notes from their presentations.
我们的下一场分享会将于11月8日（周二）举行，演讲嘉宾是来自法国南锡高等商学院（ICN）的招生官Helene Kang。
Our next visit from an admissions officer is Helene Kang from ICN Business School in France on Tuesday 8 November.

We are also proud to announce that Hiba Academy Hangzhou was a finalist for three British Schools Awards last week; Holistic Education Award, Empowering students Award and Teacher Development Award but went on to win the Teacher Development Award. It is a testament to our teachers and school's continued professional development and progress to ensure the highest quality of teaching. We were incredibly proud to watch Miss McCann collect this award at the ceremony last weekend.
此外，我们还被邀请参加下个月的剑桥卓越学子大奖颁奖典礼，因为我们的一名学生凭借其IGCSE成绩获得了中国最佳学生奖。我们为所有的学生和他们取得的成绩感到无比自豪。
In addition, we will be attending the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Award Ceremony next month after one of our pupils has won the Top in China for her Cambridge IGCSE. We are incredibly proud of all our pupils and their achievements.

Upper Primary Matters
惠立学生在学校发展过程中发挥着至关重要的作用。我们在做决策时始终会将学生的利益作为主要考虑的因素。今年，小学部高年级段将着重培养高年级学生的领导力。我们认为学生应该有机会参与决策并掌握自身学习的主动权。研究表明，当学生参与领导力项目时，会对学生的学习能力产生积极影响。
Hiba pupils play a vital role in our school. As a senior leadership team, the pupils are at the core of the decisions we make. This year we are focusing on developing the role of student leadership in upper primary. We believe that pupils should have the opportunity to be involved in decision making and take ownership of their learning. Research suggests that when pupils engage with a leadership program, it positively impacts their capacity to learn.
在惠立，学生会参与到各项决策中来。在幸福关怀方面，学生会参与制定班级章程，并为班级奖励设定协商一致的标准；在学术课程方面，学校注重培养学生自我评估和和同学互评的技能。在学校里，学生有机会自荐成为班级代表。这将要求自荐人在班级里做演讲并代表班级发言。班级代表定期与学校管理团队成员会面，代表同年级学生发声并参与到学校相关政策制定中来。每月，学校管理团队会定期与学生共进午餐。在午餐时，受邀学生可与老师们就校园生活的方方面面展开讨论。
Daily, our staff teams involve pupils in making decisions. From a pastoral perspective, pupils designed a class charter during induction and set an agreed criteria for classroom rewards. Academic lessons provide opportunities for pupils to shape their learning and assessment criteria whilst developing skills to self and peer assess. Within our school community, pupils get the chance to nominate themselves to be class representatives. It involves presenting to peers and being elected to speak on behalf of the class. Class representatives meet regularly with the management team to share the views of their peers and be involved in decision making. We also have monthly student voice lunches where pupils meet with leadership team members and provide feedback on all aspects of school life.
对所有学生来说，参与领导力项目，学习如何与团队成员建立关系、定义身份以及如何有效的完成任务都是非常重要的经历。这也是学生发展个人沟通技能和人际交往能力的机会。
All pupils need to experience leadership opportunities to learn the art of building relationships within teams, defining identities, and achieving tasks effectively. It also provides a chance to learn to identify and display effective communication and interpersonal skills.
下周，我们将举行一年一度的高年级学生运动会。11月17日（周三）是三年级运动会，11月18日（周四）是四到六年级运动会。这将是学生展示他们体育精神、团队精神和领导技能的绝佳机会。我们期待在当天为各个学院的精彩赛事加油。
Next week, we will hold our annual sports days for the upper primary. Wednesday 17 November for grade 3 and Thursday 18 November for grades 4-6. It will be an excellent opportunity for pupils to display their leadership skills alongside their sportsmanship and team spirit. We look forward to cheering on each house in the various event throughout the day.

Lower Primary Matters
在小学阶段培养学生的幸福感不仅是为了帮助学生在学业上取得更好的成绩，也是因为学生时期的幸福感是积极影响终生幸福的关键。在学校，我们的目标是了解在小学低年级期间学校在支持和影响学生的情感和幸福方面扮演的角色。我们将提高学生和教职员工的幸福感作为一项关键策略，以促进学生和教职员工在各个发展阶段取得更优秀的成绩。
Developing pupil wellbeing during their primary years is more than just helping children to achieve better academically. A child's wellbeing could be the key to lifelong happiness. Our aim as a school is to understand the role we play in supporting and influencing the emotional wellbeing of our pupils during their time in our lower primary school. At Hiba School, we prioritise the promotion of both student and staff wellbeing as a critical strategy to support better outcomes across all stages of development.
在学校，我们专注于四个关键领域来建立社群学习成员的“情感教育”，包括：
We focus on four key areas within our school to foster a sense of building an ''emotionally literate'' community of learners. These are:
积极的人际关系，这是我们学校发展的核心，积极的人际关系包括充满包容性和支持的文化。
Positive relationships lie at the heart of our school, and they have an inclusive and supportive culture.
强烈的使命感，我们与所有利益相关者都享有共同的价值观和愿景，朝着相同的目标共同努力。
We have a strong sense of purpose, shared values and vision with all stakeholders working towards the same future goals.
社群成员间分享对独立和自由的理解，这对社群成员生活的方方面面产生了积极而重要的影响。
We share a sense of independence and freedom in understanding as a community which influence essential aspects of our lives.
我们对所有学生都有很高的期望，有明确的界限和规则。
We have high expectations of all children, and there are clear boundaries and rules.
在学校，我们充分认识到完整的校园生活体验有助于社群每位成员的身心健康。
As a school, we recognise that the complete experience of school life contributes to the emotional wellbeing of everyone within our community.
祝您和您的家人度过一个充满快乐的周末，始终将幸福感放在一切事宜的首要位置。
I wish you and your family a mindful weekend with the wellbeing of everyone at the forefront of all that you do.

This week saw another busy week of fixtures. The first fixture took place on Tuesday, where the U12 touch rugby team continued their winning streak. The team beat Basis Hangzhou 5-1 in a thrilling game. On Wednesday, the U15 badminton team competed in their first tournament of the season. They were triumphant winners placing first in both the singles and doubles (boys and girls). On Thursday, the U14 girls' volleyball team travelled to Hangzhou International School. It is a new sport introduced to our sporting programme, and the girls were defeated but they did incredibly well against an already established team.
