校长的话

Message from the Principal

在刚刚过去的科学周，中小学部的学生以团队合作的方式，通过查阅资料、自主探究、开展试验等方式进行了一场科学学习之旅。在这场旅程的最后是小组展示时间，学生在做展示的过程中清晰地表达自己的想法、理解、观点以及所用到的知识点，并传递给观众。

During Science Week, students from Primary and Junior High worked in teams to undertake a scientific journey by reviewing information, conducting independent investigations, and conducting experiments. The week culminated with group presentations in English that clearly expressed their ideas, understandings, views and knowledge points to the audience.

哈佛商业出版社的哈佛管理导师课程体系中把展示技能作为个人十大软技能之一。世界各国在定义21世纪学生培养核心技能时，也都将沟通交流技能列为重要部分。在学生未来大学升学过程中，掌握展示技能中所蕴含的沟通技巧，可以在面试时更加从容自若展示自己，更好地让面试官看到自己的优势，从而大大提升学生从众多申请者中脱颖而出的机会。在学生未来的职业生涯中，展示能力也将助力其职业发展。

Harvard Business Press's Harvard Management Mentor curriculum system includes presentation skills as one of individuals' top 10 soft skills. Countries worldwide have also listed communication skills as an essential part of defining the core skills that students will develop in the 21st century. In the future, students in the university admission process, by mastering the communication skills inherent in presentation skills and can show themselves more calmly during the interview, better show their advantages to the interviewer, significantly improve the opportunities for them to stand out from the crowd. Presentation competence will also help students in their future careers.

在惠立学校，学生时常会被要求进行团队或个人的展示。经常锻炼展示技能的学生可以练习语言组织能力、逻辑思维能力、临场发挥能力以及应对突发情况的能力等。当我们在课堂内外提供众多展示的机会给到学生，我们惊喜地发现学生逐渐都能展现出在台上自信从容、富有逻辑地表达自己的观点。我们相信具备良好的展示技能会为学生未来升学及生活中的各种挑战做好准备，更好适应、应对日新月异的世界。

In Hiba School, students are often asked to make team or individual presentations. Students who regularly work on their presentation skills can practise their verbal organisation, logical thinking, presentation skills and the ability to deal with unexpected situations. As we provide numerous opportunities for students to present both inside and outside the classroom, we are pleasantly surprised to find that students can express their opinions confidently, calmly and logically on the stage. We believe that students with good presentation skills will be well prepared for the various challenges of further education and life. In addition, they will be better equipped to cope with the changing world.

Sixth Form Matters

高中部的本周寄语是“独立”和成为“独立的学习者”。在未来的大学学习中，学生要独立学习，充分发挥主动性，有效管理自我学习，不应期待要外部监督或者指导。大学生要具备通过大量阅读来研究不同观点的能力，以此来深化对所学科目的理解。这样的学习习惯不是上了大学能一蹴而就的，而是应该在学生生涯中不断实践和磨练的。

This week's message from Sixth Form is about 'independence' and being an 'independent learner'. Students at university are required to be independent learners, meaning that they are expected to be able to demonstrate initiative and manage all their work on time. They should not need continuous instruction or monitoring. University students are expected to research various ideas through reading to understand their subject better. These study habits do not develop as soon as pupils attend university. Instead, they need to be practised and honed throughout school life.

以下是一些有助于培养独立学习技能的方法：

Here are some ways to help develop independent learning skills:

做好规划 Be organised

掌握作业内容与提交时间。作业要尽早做，才能在遇到问题时腾出时间去寻求帮助。

Make sure you are aware of what assignments are due and when. Then, start each one in advance to give yourself plenty of time to ask for help if you need to.

拓展学习 Study beyond the bare minimum

学科老师会提供一些辅助学习的额外任务。如果有空余的时间，即使只有半个小时，也可以通过课外阅读、挑战难题，或观看相关视频来巩固或拓展学习。

Your subject teachers will provide work that supports your learning outside of the classroom. If you have time to spare, even if it is only half an hour, spend some time consolidating or extending your understanding through further reading, trying more difficult questions, or watching related videos.

建立学习体系 Have a system

笔记要更加体系化，比如为各学科分别创建独立文件夹，记录复习讲义，制作闪记卡。每位学生都是独一无二的，学习体系也不尽相同，但是每个人都要用一套自己的体系才能最大限度的发挥学习潜能。

Develop a system for your notes. It might include having different folders for each subject, writing revision notes and making flashcards. Each pupil is different, and their systems may vary, but each pupil needs to have a system to maximise their learning potential.

善于反思 Be reflective

收到老师批注过的作业后，请认真阅读评语，并且思考如何在下一次作业中改善，从以往的错误中吸取经验。如果不确定该如何改善，请向老师寻求帮助。

When you receive a marked piece of work from your teacher, read the comments carefully and think about how you can improve for the next assignment. Always learn from your previous mistakes. If you are not sure how to improve, ask your teacher.

掌握这些技能将为学生进入大学学习打下坚实的基础，因为主动学习、锻炼韧性是非常重要的。成为独立学习的学生需要花费时间和不断练习，最佳时间的行动就是现在。

Pupils who master these skills at school have an excellent foundation for learning at university. However, it is essential to take the initiative with one's own learning and exercise resilience. Being an independent student takes time and practice, and there is no better time than the present to begin developing these skills.

Junior High Matters

为了更好地帮助初中部学生准备未来的正式考试，我们在课上常常会传授备考技巧，例如如何更有效地进行考试时间分配、调节紧张情绪、在考试状态下保持逻辑思维，帮助学生在未来的考试中正常发挥。本周，十年级的学生进行了模拟考，对未来的正式IGCSEs考试有了进一步了解和认识。初中部学生参加了许多旁听课程和额外研讨会，并积极听取来自老师的专业建议。

Exam preparation and technique is explicitly taught to pupils as they move towards their formal exams in Junior High. It is important that pupils are taught how to manage their time, think logically under exam conditions and can calm their nerves in both the run-up to their formal examinations and in the exams themselves. Mock exam weeks are currently taking place this week for Grade 10, as we carry out the final preparations for their IGCSEs. Pupils are studying hard, ensuring that they attend the many drop-in sessions, additional workshops and listen to the professional advice from our highly qualified and dedicated staff team.

4月1日，立院和惠院将举办慈善活动，立院的慈善活动是长跑，我们也将向家长发出邀请，鼓励家长参与其中；惠院正在准备活动所需的野餐和茶点。

Next week, we celebrate the Li and Hui Houses charity events on 1 April. Li House is organising a sponsored run. We will be sending out a letter to encourage parents and our community to be involved, whilst Hui House is organising the sale of refreshments at the event and a community picnic.

小学高年级快讯

Upper Primary Matters

本周，小学部高年级的学生进行了一场关于当前选择如何影响未来发展的主题探索。

This week, upper primary pupils explored how their future can be shaped by their choices today.

在周一的升旗仪式上，学生们进行了一场关于未来职业理想的思考。学生们不仅被鼓励去探索他们想进入的热门职业，同时也被鼓励去依据自身的爱好和兴趣探索其他潜在的职业可能。国旗下的演讲激励学生们既要志存高远，也要积极拥抱个性和差异，追求自身喜爱的职业。

In the flag-raising ceremony, pupils were asked to consider their career aspirations. They were encouraged to think of popular professions that they could enter and explore alternative prospects based on their hobbies and interests. This speech inspired pupils to aim high and embrace their individuality and uniqueness so they can enjoy their future profession.

在惠立，我们对每一个惠立学子都寄予厚望，鼓励他们充分利用周围一切可能的学习机会。上周，学生们精心准备，呈现了一场精彩纷呈的科学学习成果展。参展的学生备受鼓舞，一些参展学生还立志未来要从事科学领域相关的职业。本次科学周展览取得了巨大的成功，不仅让学生们体验了多样化教学，也为同学们之间互相交流学习提供了良好机会。学生们同时也学到了：当我们目标明确，专心致志，全力以赴地去做某件事情时，我们的确可以在那些我们本以为不可能成功的地方取得了不起的成就。

At Hiba, we have high expectations of all our pupils and encourage them to make the most of every learning opportunity offered. Last week, our pupils prepared and presented their scientific learning with passion, and those who attended the science fair came away enlightened. Some children were even inspired to choose a field of science as their future career. The fair was a great success and an opportunity to experience what it is like to teach and be educated by our peers. Our young educators also learnt that when given a purpose for doing something, with hard work and focus, they can excel in ways they didn’t know were possible.

在本周的集会活动中，5C班的学生在科学周的基础上进行了学习拓展，他们声情并茂地讲述了燕子的故事并对坚韧的品质进行了全面的论述。通过他们的讲述，我们明白毅力是帮助我们学习技能，克服挑战，成为成功的学习者的重要价值观之一。在遇到挑战时，保持坚韧的品质有助于我们克服前进路上的阻碍，成为创造更多价值的人。

Class 5C built on these ideas in our weekly assembly when they spoke of resilience and shared the story of the swallow. They taught us that resilience is an important Hiba Value as it helps us acquire the skills we need to be successful learners - even when it is hard. By being resilient and persistent when we find things challenging, we can overcome the obstacles that stand in our way, which helps us become high-achieving adults.

杭州惠立学校的艺术课程致力于培养学生的想象力、自我表达能力和创造力。您是否曾认真观察过完全沉浸在画画或者弹钢琴中的孩子？他们全神贯注地致力于创作中，从无到有，仅用自己的想象力和创造力来表达自己的所思所感。这是一项我们希望所有的学生都能拥有的技能。

The Arts curriculum at Hiba Academy Hangzhou helps develop imagination, self-expression and creativity. Have you ever watched a child completely absorbed in drawing, painting or playing on the piano? Their total concentration is on creating something from nothing, using only their imagination and creativity to express thoughts, feelings, or ideas. It is a skill that we should want to nurture in all children.

艺术比其他很多学科都更锻炼创造力。艺术让孩子们能够自由地去创作一些独一无二的作品。这不仅给孩子们提供了一个良好的自我表达的机会，在创作过程中培养的创造力和革新能力等技能，也备受当今世界的认可。

“Art fosters experimentation more than many other subjects do. It gives children the freedom and choice to create something unique to them. Not only is this a healthy outlet for self-expression, but in today’s world, skills like creativity and innovation are highly valued.

艺术课程能提升学生自信，增强学生毅力和自律能力。艺术课程允许孩子们进行天马行空的想象和创作，孩子们通常可以自由地选择他们想创造的内容。因而，在创作的过程中，孩子们会本能地、自主地提出问题，解决问题。渐渐地，学生的主人翁意识也会变得越来越强。

The Arts curriculum helps to develop self-confidence, self-discipline, and resilience. As art is curriculum allows for the freedom of imagination and fascination, our children are often free to choose the direction they take, naturally end up internally asking themselves questions and solving problems as the work progresses. This can lead to a real sense of ownership of what they produce.

艺术是小学阶段非常重要的课程；它有助于平衡专业学科和创意学科的比重，促进学生的全面发展。

Art holds an important place within the primary curriculum; it helps to balance the weight of academic vs creative subjects and supports the development of the whole child.”

—— 电影导演 Film Director, Alan Parker

祝您度过一个充满创造力和想象力的周末。

I wish you a weekend filled with creativity, expression, and imagination.
