校长的话
Message from the Principal
欢迎来到2022年，希望您和家人一起度过了一个短暂而愉快的假期。我们非常欣喜地看到学生们经过假期的休息与调整，都满怀活力与热情地回到了校园，开始新阶段的学习。
Welcome, 2022. I hope you and your family had a joyful winter break. We are pleased to see that after the restful holidays, pupils return with vitality and enthusiasm and are ready for the next stage of learning.
在新年伊始之际，很多人常常会制定新的计划，因为我们都希望在这样一个辞旧迎新的时间点，通过做出改变，使自己的学习或工作能够开启新方向的转折或者有更好的发展。英文中有一个短语, “to turn over a new leaf”，寓意是弃旧图新，翻开新的一页。无论我们在过去经历过什么，当下的积极行动都将使之发生改变。采取行动，是把握当下的最好方式。而一旦把握当下，我们也将翻开新的人生篇章。
People often make new plans at the beginning of the year, as they all want to change to create a new direction or improvement for learning or work. There is a saying in English to turn over a new leaf. No matter what we have experienced in the past, what we do now will change the past. The best way to live in the present moment is to take action to open a new chapter in our lives.
下周四，我们将迎来惠灵顿杭州校区首届大学展——这一学校发展程碑式的盛会。届时，惠立学校八至十年级的学生以及惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校的九年级和十年级的学生，都将参加此次大学展，与来自全球各地多所大学的招生代表进行在线面对面、一对一的沟通。相信此次盛会将为惠灵顿杭州校区的学生们积累宝贵的实践经验，并对他们日后的大学申请助益良多。
We will be hosting Wellington College Hangzhou’s first-ever university fair next Thursday, a milestone in WCCH history. All G8 to G10 HSH and Y9 to Y10 WCIH pupils will participate in the event and experience one-to-one discussions with university representatives worldwide online. I believe this is an excellent opportunity for WCCH pupils to experience and help them in applying to universities in future.
本周开始，中小学部将陆续开展学期末的复习与评估，我希望每位惠立学子都能不负自己的努力，收获令自己满意的评估结果。
Assessment week has started in Primary and Junior High. I hope every Hiba pupil will receive satisfactory results based on their effort.
学校同时在进行的是春节庆祝活动的准备。春节联欢汇演、春节游园会正如火如荼地排演之中。尽管因防疫需要，今年我们暂不能邀请所有家长来校，学校仍会采用直播的方式，为家长们提供在线观看学生春节联欢汇演的机会, 共同庆祝传统佳节。
Meanwhile, we are preparing for Chinese New Year Celebrations. Rehearsals for CNY Gala and CNY Activity Day are in full swing. Unfortunately, we cannot invite all parents onsite to enjoy pupils’ performances due to current restrictions. However, the live stream will allow parents to watch CNY Gala and celebrate this traditional festival together.
翻开新的篇章，祝福大家2022年健康、快乐！
I wish you health and happiness in 2022.

惠灵顿杭州校区首届大学展将于下周举行。来自世界各地高校的代表将连线与我们的社群成员连线，开展线上对话。八至十年级和A Level预备课程班的同学们与升学指导老师共同努力，为与大学代表顺利开展沟通而做足准备。通过大学展，学生将对学生生活、大学学习和申请流程有更多的了解。本届大学展采取线上方式开展，学生需确保笔记本电脑电量充足，带好笔和耳机。
Next week we will be making Wellington College Hangzhou history as we host our first-ever university fair. Representatives from higher education institutions worldwide will be logging on to speak to our community. Our G8-10 and Pre A-Level pupils have been working hard with our university guidance counsellors to ensure that they are fully prepared with questions for the representatives. It is an excellent opportunity for pupils to learn more about student life, learning at university and the application process. The fair will be conducted online, and pupils have been reminded to bring a fully charged laptop, a pen and earphones.
在此，我们诚邀相关学生的家长能参加这次大学展，与学生一同探讨升学选择。具体活动报名方式请查看学校邮件和钉钉群通知。
We are also welcoming parents of these pupils to the fair to explore higher education options with their child. If you would like to attend, please look out for further information via email and DingTalk.
在大学展上，学生将开始发挥主观能动性，在各个高校中寻找属于自己的答案，迈出走向大学之旅的重要一步。如果心仪的大学没有参加本次展会，我们也可以与其他大学代表交流，了解更多关于不同大学和国家的入学申请体系。准备得越充分，受益就越多。
It is an essential step in the pupils’ journey towards higher education as they begin taking ownership and seek answers to their questions from the universities themselves. If the university you are interested in is not in attendance, you can still talk to other representatives to learn more about their universities and their respective countries’ application systems. It is well worth noting that the more you prepare, the more you will benefit from this experience.
期待您的到来！
Looking forward to seeing you there!

新年伊始，我们诚挚祝愿大家新年快乐，身体安康。本周，初中部所有学生完成了期末测试，回顾知识、检验所学，为十年级的最终测试积累经验。
We would like to wish all our families a happy and healthy 2022. We have started the year focused on celebrating our pupils’ progress this semester. All grades have completed assessments to review their learning and ensure that they gain valuable practice for their final exams in G10.
我们由衷地为学生所取得的成绩感到自豪。初中学生的家长将在春节前收到一份详细的学业进展报告，内容涵盖学生本学期各科目的学习情况。下周起，我们将为1月21日的新春庆典进行排练。
We are proud of the achievements that they have made. Junior High parents will receive an assessment report alongside their academic report prior to the Chinese New Year holiday to inform you of the assessment progress your child has made. Next week we begin to prepare for the super Chinese New Year Gala that will take place on the last day of term.
届时，欢迎家长在线观看庆典，与我们共同欣赏学生们的多样才艺。

新年新气象，祝所有的家庭新年快乐！
Firstly, I would like to wish all our families a Happy New Year.
很高兴看到孩子们满心欢喜地回到校园，继续开展学习。虽然不久后便是春节假期，但是我们始终对学生的行为规范和学习态度有着高要求。
It was a pleasure to see so many smiling faces return to school this week, eager to return to their studies. Although we do not have long until the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, our high expectations remain for pupils’ behaviour and attitudes towards learning.
本周，许多学科的学期末测试如期开展。1月20日，我们将发布学期末评估报告，由各学科教师结合学生的努力程度和测试成绩，针对学生日常课堂表现、家庭作业完成情况及正式和非正式的相关测评给出评语，并列出学生值得肯定和有待提升的地方。各学科教师将充分利用评估信息对下续期教学计划进行适当调整。
This week many subjects have conducted assessments to help inform their end of semester reports. These will be shared with parents on 20 January. Each subject teacher will provide a mark for effort and attainment. This will be a combination of daily performance in class, homework, informal and formal assessments. They will also provide a written comment to outline key strengths and areas for improvement. Individual teachers will then use all assessments to adjust their planning for next semester accordingly.
当前，学校正在积极筹备即将到来的新春庆典。我们将陆续向家长分享更多活动咨询。
We are now preparing for the upcoming CNY Gala performance and will provide more information shortly.

最近，我在研究“赋能（empowerment)”这一英语单词时发现，“赋能”也可以被定义为在自身和其所在社群达到一定程度的“自主”和 “自我决定”的能力。“赋能”让人以自主而有担当的方式彰显自身利益，依据自身知识和技能采取行动。《牛津词典》将“赋能”定义为“变得更强大和更自信的过程，尤其指在主导自我生活和主张自我权利方面”。
When I recently researched ‘empowerment’, I realised that empowerment could be defined as reaching a level of autonomy and self-determination in ourselves and within our communities. Empowerment allows us to represent our interests responsibly and self-determined, acting on our skills and knowledge. The Oxford Dictionary defines empowerment as “the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights”.
对教育工作者而言，赋能于学生是指培养学生的能力和自信，让学生感到被尊重、把握自我生活和未来。这并不意味着学生要在没有指导和支持的情况下独自探索，因为学生的学习应该始终在班级、老师、家长和学校设定的期望和指导准则下开展。我们的目标是培养学生独立自主做出明智决定的能力，为自身行为承担起责任，认识到个人行为对自身及周围世界的影响。
As educators, empowering children is to guide them to feel valued, capable, confident, and realise that they are seen as the creator in their own lives and futures. However, it doesn’t mean that our children are left alone without guidance, support and direction. Children must still learn to work within expectations and guidelines set by their class community, teachers, parents, and lower primary schools. We aim to grow and develop children who make informed choices independently by themselves and identify responsibility for their actions and their impact on themselves and the world around them.
我们为什么要为学生赋能？
Why do we believe in empowering our children?
建立学生自信心，提升学生自尊心
It develops confidence and supports high levels of self-esteem
提高学生独立能力
It encourages independence
培养学生韧性
It builds resilience
建立尊重自己和尊重他人的品格
Develops self-respect and respect for others
促进终身学习
It supports lifelong learning
祝您度过愉快的一周！
I wish you a wonderful week ahead.

The second fixture was football. The U22 boys’ team played a strong Wycombe Abbey team. However, WCH were the overall winners, 6-1. Competitive sports will continue during the next two weeks.
