校长的话
Message from the Principal
下周我们将迎来清明节。清明节兼具自然与人文内涵，既是人们亲近自然的节日，同时也是缅怀先辈、祭奠英烈的传统节日。学生们可以通过“杭州市第二课堂”微信公众号“网上祭英烈“专栏，聆听革命故事、缅怀先烈精神，参与网上献花、寄语等活动，表达对革命先烈深切的怀念与崇高的敬意。
The Qingming Festival falls next week. It has two connotations of nature and humanity. It is not only a festival for people to get close to nature but also a traditional festival to worship ancestors and pay tribute to national martyrs. From today, pupils can start honouring martyrs online on the Hangzhou Second Class WeChat account and listen to stories about Chinese revolutions, learn more about the history, their heroic deeds and spirit, present flowers and messages online to express their respect to the martyrs.
在与家长会面沟通中，我曾提到过牛津大学招生官分享的大学招生中非常看重的一个品质—利他精神。利他精神，是为了他人或集体利益而舍弃个人利益，是一种高尚的品德。一个民族崇尚利他精神，才能充满生机，蓬勃发展，生生不息。利他精神的文化哲思贯穿于中华民族传统文化的始终，儒家思想崇尚“仁爱”，推己及人，爱自己的同时爱他人与社会，成己为人，成人达己。
In the previous meetings with parents, I mentioned one of the characteristics that Oxford University admissions officers share that they highly valued in college admissions - altruism. Altruism is a noble characteristic that involves giving up one’s interests for the sake of others or the collective good. It is a noble character. When a nation embraces altruism, it can be vibrant and flourish. The cultural philosophy of altruism runs throughout the traditional Chinese culture. Confucianism advocates “benevolence”, putting oneself in the position of others, and loving others and society while loving oneself. Only by achieving and helping others can we develop and improve ourselves, realise our ideals and achieve our goals.
在惠立，我们鼓励学生勇敢担当，关爱他人，积极参与校内外慈善活动，从而培养学生利他精神，并在践行利他中成长为更优秀的惠立学子。
In Hiba School, we encourage students to take responsibility, care for others, and actively participate in charitable activities inside and outside the school, to cultivate students’ altruistic spirit and grow into better Hiba students in practising altruism.
清明假期，家长们可以在遵守疫情防控要求的前提下，带您的孩子亲近自然，就近就便参观革命烈士纪念馆、烈士陵园，祭扫鲜花、寄托哀思。
During the Qingming holiday, parents can take their children close to nature under the permission of epidemic prevention and control requirements. They can visit the revolutionary martyrs’ Memorial Hall and martyrs’ cemetery, place martyrs’ flowers and express their grief.
祝您和家人度过一个富有意义的清明假期。
We wish you and your family a meaningful Qingming holiday.

常有学生和家长希望了解美化大学申请、在数千名竞争者中脱颖而出的方法。学生要展现出对所选科目的热情，在个人陈述和入学论文中清晰地表达出自己的热爱。
I often meet with pupils and parents who are keen to know how a university application can be strengthened and how one can obtain a competitive edge over the thousands of other applicants. Students need to have a passion for learning their chosen subject and then clearly demonstrate this in their personal statements and essays.
如何证明对所选科目的热爱呢？尽可能多地阅读相关材料并形成自己的观点。 阅读是加深和拓宽理解的绝佳方式，能在提高英语水平的同时更多地了解自己热爱的科目。在上大学之前花时间和精力选择相关书籍，仔细阅读、认真思考，能让招生老师看到学生具备学习和钻研的兴趣。
So how do you demonstrate a love for your subject? First, read as much relevant material as possible and form your own opinions. Reading is a fantastic way to deepen and broaden your understanding while improving your English and learning more about the subject you love. Put time and effort into selecting relevant books, reading them and thinking about them before applying to university. Then, the admissions officer can make a reasonable assumption that you will be an engaged and interested student.
本周我将为学生们分享一份阅读清单，也希望各位家长支持孩子追求学术的兴趣。
I will be sharing a suggested reading list with pupils this week and encourage you to support your child in pursuing their academic interests.
每当你读到一本好书，世界的某个地方就会打开一扇门，让更多的光进入。“
Whenever you read a good book somewhere in the world, a door opens to allow more light.

惠立社群的职责之一是启发学生成为乐善好施之人，珍惜自己现有的生活。惠立的各个学院都鼓励孩子们帮助他人，并就如何为全国甚至世界各地的慈善机构筹集资金这一话题提出多种创新的想法。本周，我们见证了立院发起的慈善跑活动，每个学院累积跑到了100公里，为上海公益梦想慈善基金会筹集善款，用于帮助落后地区的其他学校完善体育设施。当天，惠院在现场组织了义卖，并与“微笑行动”合作，将筹得的善款用于支持儿童唇腭裂修复手术的公益项目。
Regularly reminding ourselves how fortunate we are and helping others who are in need is the responsibility of everyone in our community. Our House system enables our pupils to help others and create innovative ideas on how we can raise money or collect goods for charities across China and the world. This week saw Li House facilitate a sponsored run, where each house ran 100km to raise funds for Adream, a charity that supports schools that are not as fortunate as Hiba to purchase sports equipment. In addition, Hui House facilitated the sale of refreshments during the sponsored run to raise money for the charity Smile, which supports medical care for children born with a cleft lip.
每年，我们都鼓励并支持初中部学生参加慈善活动，并将再接再厉，让学生时刻秉持惠立价值观。在此，我祝愿大家与家人共度美好的清明假期，也期待假期后在校园与学生们相见。
Junior High pupils are encouraged and supported throughout the year to raise funds for a wide range of charities. We will continue to build on these successes to ensure that the ethos of giving to those less fortunate than ourselves is instilled into every Hiba pupil’s values. We hope that every family has a restful Qing Ming break, and we look forward to seeing all of our pupils on our return.

Upper Primary Matters
在过去的两个星期，小学部高年级邀请了高中部的Hatty Leung校长为六年级的同学们开展了关于“升学路径和职业规划”的讲座。同学们不仅了解到了自己在初中和高中阶段的学习内容，更对自己的职业发展有了初步的思考。
Over the past two weeks, our upper primary team had invited Ms Hatty Leung, Head of Sixth Form, to present a learning session on “Pathways and career plan” to G6 pupils. As a result, our pupils had a better understanding of the learning journey in junior high and sixth form and started thinking about their future career development.
小学阶段是学生认知自我、培养兴趣的重要阶段，在此时开展升学路径和职业启蒙教育有利于他们思考未来，树立理想。在此，我们对学生提出两项建议。
Primary is a crucial stage for pupils to understand themselves and establish hobbies. Carrying out learning sessions on pathways and career development at this time will help pupils to think about their future and set up career goals. Regarding this topic, we have two suggestions for our pupils:
确立未来职业目标
Establish career goals
此次活动中，许多同学分享了自己的职业理想：6B班的张渝涵（Shirley Zhang）同学计划在大学阶段主修药学，毕业后成为一名医生；6E班的慕时（Susan Mu）同学希望从事工商管理方面的工作；6A班的周轩屹 （Johnny Zhou）同学想成为一名光荣的消防战士……
Many pupils shared their dream jobs during the session. Shirley Z, from 6B, plans to major in pharmacy and become a doctor after graduation. Susan M from 6E hopes to do business management related work. Johnny Z from 6A wants to be a firefighter.
心之所向，步履皆往，我们希望惠立学子都能够积极探索自己的兴趣爱好，确立职业理想，在未来的学习生活中更有针对性地开发潜能。
We hope that Hiba pupils can follow their dreams and actively explore their hobbies and interests to establish a career goal, cultivating their potential in a more targeted way during their future learning life.
制定中、短期目标
Set short-term and medium-term targets
本次讲座中，同学们了解了IGCSE、A-Level的考试模式。不少同学惊讶于数学、科学、计算机等学科在初、高中阶段的重要性。希望同学们都能为自己的学业成绩、社会活动、兴趣特长设立中、短期目标，并制定相应的执行计划，为下一阶段的学习与生活打好基础。
Our pupils learned a lot about IGCSE and A-level exams during the session. Many pupils were surprised at how maths, science and ICT were important in junior high and sixth form learning. We hope that all pupils can set a short-term and medium-term target and corresponding action plans for themselves regarding academic performance, community activities and personal expertise, laying a good foundation for their next learning journey.

小学部低年级的项目研习融合了课程综合知识、有意义的实践和个人发展需求，在学业成绩和个人成长方面都为学生创造丰富的学习体验。当今世界比以往任何时候都更需要有能力、有技术并有信心迎接生活中各种挑战的年轻人。项目研习学习法可以帮助学生们更好的习得这些技能。
Our projects in lower primary blends content mastery, meaningful work, and personal connection to create powerful learning experiences for our children in terms of academic achievement and personal growth. It is an important time for us, and now more than ever, the world needs able young adults to hold the necessary skills and are confident in taking on the many challenges in our lives and the world they live in. Nothing can prepare them better than a project learning approach.
项目研习 (PBL) 能否提高学生的学业成绩？
Does project-based learning (PBL) raise pupil academic achievement?
项目研习所激发的学习兴趣能让孩子们积极投入到与现实世界相关的学习活动中。
Through the interest that projects spark, our children actively engage in real-world relevance for learning.

项目研习可以让学生更深入地理解所学内容，更好地消化所学知识。
Projects allow for a deeper understanding and greater retention of content knowledge.
一个好的项目活动可以深刻影响参与项目的孩子。亲眼见证项目活动对现实世界的影响能让孩子们更好地感受什么是有目的性的学习。
A great project can be transformative for any child. Seeing a real-world impact gives them a sense of agency and purpose.
教师与积极参与其中的学生密切合作，从事有意义的实践，并分享获得新发现带来的快乐。
Teachers work closely with active, engaged children doing meaningful work and share in the rediscovered joy of learning.
我们的孩子喜欢使用从立项到开展合作，再到产品形成和成果展示阶段所涉及到的各种技术工具。
Our children enjoy using various technology tools, from research and collaboration to product creation and presentation.
当项目活动结合孩子的个人需求和预期的课程效果进行个性化定制时，学生在个人需求和课程成果方面都会得到明显改善。我们可以通过观察和评估学生如何在实际生活中应用新学到的概念来了解我们的孩子取得的学业进步以及他们习得的 21 世纪的技能。
When projects are tailored to meet the needs of all children and the expected curriculum offered, results will show improvement for a child on both ends of a spectrum. If our children gain skills for the 21st century and progress in their academic attainment, their achievement can be observed and assessed through how they apply a newly learned concept in practice and their daily lives.
祝大家度过一个精彩的清明假期。期待在4月11日（周一）欢迎学生们返校。
Please enjoy time with your family during the Qing Ming break. We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday, 11 April 2022.

参演音乐剧对学生的学业提升和身心发展益处多多：
Being part of a musical ensemble brings numerous benefits to academic and personal development. Among those benefits are:
提升学习自信
Confident Learning
发展社交技能
Developing Social Skills
促进团队协作
Teamwork Collaboration
激发良性竞争
Healthy Competition
除此之外，参演音乐剧还是发扬勇气、尊重、正直、善良和责任等惠立价值观的好机会，也有助于培养积极、慎思、独立、个性和包容的惠立特质。
Adding to the above, it gives us the perfect opportunity to practise our school values (courage, respect, integrity, kindness, and responsibility). It develops our school identity (Inspired, Intellectual, Independent, Individual, and Inclusive).
过去两周中，杭州惠立学校中学部和杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校中学部的管弦乐团成员在为商会团队比赛做准备。参加该商会团队的学生需完成八至十分钟的无指挥表演。这是一项全新的挑战，大家积极练习，不断完善所选的四首曲目演奏。
For the past two weeks, a few pupils from the orchestra from HSH Junior High and WCIH Senior School have been preparing for the Chamber Group competition. Pupils in this chamber group were requested to perform for 8 to 10 minutes without a conductor. It created a new challenge for us. We worked hard to improve the four pieces we prepared for the competition.
