　　Dear primary school parents and families.

　　親愛的小學(xué)部家長們，

　　It has been another productive and exciting few weeks at the primary school in Tianjin. Two weeks ago, we were honored to have high ranking government officials from Australia and New Zealand come and induct our new English and arts captains for the new academic year. There were, however, two senior student leadership positions which hadn’t been chosen. These were the primary school captain and primary school vice-captain positions. The primary school captain and vice-captain positions are the highest student leadership positions in the primary school. Their chief roles include serving the school community and hosting school events and ceremonies. On Friday the 21st of September, 9 students from year 6 applied for these final two leadership positions. Like before, they had three minutes to convince a panel of 9 international and domestic teachers concerning their suitability. It was encouraging to see so many students enter the election and it was even more heartening to hear many students speaking fluently and convincingly in both English and Chinese before an audience of more than 200 people. It is my privilege to announce that Jack Hu has been elected as the new primary school captain and that Penelope Weng and Philip Chen are the new Primary school vice captains after there was a tie for the vice-captain position. Their student leadership badges were given to them on the 28th of September at assembly by senior teachers of the primary school. We congratulate them on their achievement and wish them every success as they begin their new roles as the student leaders of the primary school. For many of our students, I am sure this is only just the beginning of a lifetime of leadership and excellence.

　　天津黑利伯瑞國際學(xué)校小學(xué)部，精彩紛呈的兩周又過去了。兩周前，我們榮幸地邀請了來自澳大利亞和新西蘭的政府官員，并介紹了我們新學(xué)年的英語和藝術(shù)隊長。然而，有兩個高年級的學(xué)生領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職位沒有選舉。包括小學(xué)部長和小學(xué)副部長職務(wù)。小學(xué)部長和副部長是小學(xué)部最高的學(xué)生領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職務(wù)。他們的主要職責(zé)包括服務(wù)學(xué)部和學(xué)�；顒�。9月21日星期五，來自6年級的9名學(xué)生申請了最后兩個學(xué)生領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職位。像以前一樣，他們有三分鐘的時間來演講，9名國際和中方教師根據(jù)他們的表現(xiàn)進行打分�？吹皆S多學(xué)生積極踴躍的參加選舉，而且聽到許多學(xué)生在200多人的聽眾面前流利而自信地使用雙語進行演講更是令人鼓舞。我很榮幸地宣布，胡雯裕當(dāng)選為新的小學(xué)部長，翁紫暄和陳高非非是新的小學(xué)副部長。他們的學(xué)生領(lǐng)導(dǎo)徽章是在9月28日由小學(xué)部的教師在校會上為他們頒發(fā)的。我們祝賀他們?nèi)〉玫某晒�，并祝愿他們在作為小學(xué)生的時候，一切順利。對于我們的許多學(xué)生來說，我相信這也是他們多彩優(yōu)秀生活的開始。

　　Haileybury International School Tianjin continues to be at the forefront of global education. On the 26th of September 2018, A high ranking delegation from Monash university came to our school campus for an exchange visit. There are 8 top universities in Australia and they have combined to form a group known as the Group of Eight universities. Monash university is in the top 5 of this group. Moreover, out of all the universities in the world, Times Higher Education ranks Monash university at number 80. For many years now, Haileybury Tianjin has trained, guided and mentored undergraduate and postgraduate Monash university education students who have chosen to complete their teaching practicums in China. China is the new frontier of the global education market and many astute Australian university students understand that the economic and political pendulum of the world has already swung towards Asia. Many Australian students have already taken the initiative in choosing to extend themselves by completing their practicums in China. Last year, five Monash university students completed a three-week practicum at our school. Under the guidance and mentorship of our primary school English teachers, they all successfully completed their placements. The program was enriching for the university students as it was for our primary school staff and students and we trust our close and mutually edifying relationship with one of the world’s top universities will continue well into the future.

　　天津黑利伯瑞國際學(xué)校繼續(xù)處于全球教育的前沿。2018年9月26日，來自莫納什大學(xué)的代表團來我校進行交流訪問。澳大利亞有8所大學(xué)，他們聯(lián)合起來組成了澳大利亞八校聯(lián)盟。莫納什大學(xué)是這個組織的前5名。此外，在世界上所有的大學(xué)中，世界大學(xué)排名中莫納什大學(xué)排名第80位。多年來，天津黑利伯瑞國際學(xué)校對莫納什大學(xué)本科生和研究生進行了培訓(xùn)、指導(dǎo)，他們選擇在中國完成教學(xué)實踐。中國是全球教育市場的新前沿，許多的澳大利亞大學(xué)生明白，世界經(jīng)濟和政治的鐘擺已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)向亞洲。許多澳大利亞學(xué)生選擇通過完成在中國的實習(xí)來提高自己。去年，五名莫納什大學(xué)學(xué)生在我們學(xué)校完成了為期三周的實習(xí)。在我們小學(xué)英語教師的指導(dǎo)和幫助下，他們都順利地完成了自己的工作。這個計劃對于大學(xué)生來說是豐富多彩的，就像對于小學(xué)部教師和學(xué)生一樣，我們相信我們與世界大學(xué)之一的密切和互相啟發(fā)的關(guān)系將一直持續(xù)。

　　The staff and students were thrilled to see you at the primary school parent’s information session on the 29th of September. Parents are always eager to know more about what actually occurs in the day to day operations of the primary school. They are also keen to know what their children are learning and doing. On the day, senior teachers from the different departments of the primary school gave speeches which summarized their pedagogy, curriculum, teaching methodology and overarching goals. The speakers included Vivian Jia (Head of Primary), William Fang (Upper primary English coordinator)，Nathan Williamson (Lower primary English coordinator), Eric Xu (Head of student welfare) and Rosie Jiang (Head of Chinese). It was an informative afternoon and we were also delighted to see our year one students inducted into the primary school following their initiation ceremony. Our year one students had practiced their part of the ceremony many times leading up to the important occasion and it was encouraging to see our youngest students bravely and successfully completing the ritual. Learning is a life-long activity, but one is never too young (or old) to begin. We trust that you enjoyed the information session as much the staff and students did.

　　在9月29日的小學(xué)家長會，老師和學(xué)生都很高興見到各位家長。家長們希望了解小學(xué)部的學(xué)生們的學(xué)習(xí)和生活。他們也很想了解孩子們在學(xué)習(xí)什么和做什么。當(dāng)天，來自小學(xué)不同部門的教師們發(fā)表演講，總結(jié)了他們的教學(xué)理念、課程、教學(xué)方法和總體目標(biāo)。發(fā)言者包括Vivian Jia(小學(xué)部主任)、William Fang(高年級小學(xué)英語協(xié)調(diào)員)，Nathan Williamson (低年級小學(xué)英語協(xié)調(diào)員)、Eric Xu(學(xué)生德育主任)和 Rosie Jiang(語文組教研組長)。這是一個精彩紛呈的下午，我們也很高興看到我們的一年級學(xué)生在典禮后正式成為小學(xué)生。我們一年級的學(xué)生在這個重要場合之前已經(jīng)多次練習(xí)他們的表演，看到我們最小的學(xué)生勇敢地、成功地完成儀式，令人鼓舞。學(xué)習(xí)是一項終身的活動，從不分年歲。我們相信老師和學(xué)生都非常享受這次家長會。

　　Our club and afternoon activity programs are now in full swing. Learning does not just occur in a classroom nor does it only occur from a textbook. Some of life’s most important lessons are the ones we learn when we interact with others. Skills, qualities and virtues such as persistence, perseverance, team-work, self-confidence, leadership, precision, technique, dexterity, hand-eye coordination, bravery, sportsmanship, kindness, flexibility, creativity, patience, personal grooming and upkeep, assertiveness and strength can only be learnt and developed outside of a classroom. At Haileybury, every student matters every day. This means we focus not only on the academic progress of our students but also on their social, physical and emotional development. Joining and participating in extra-curricular activities such as Spanish lessons, golf, soccer, swimming, taekwondo, robotics, ballet, modelling, handicraft, painting and guitar are effective ways to develop oneself. I encourage all students to cherish the rare opportunities which have been afforded to them because you never know where your passion or hobby may lead you!

　　我們下午的活動課正在全面展開。學(xué)習(xí)不僅僅呈現(xiàn)在課堂上，也不僅僅呈現(xiàn)在課本上。當(dāng)我們與他人互動時學(xué)到的東西是生活中比較重要的課程。技能、品質(zhì)和美德，如堅持、毅力、團隊合作、自信、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、精確、技術(shù)、靈巧、手眼協(xié)調(diào)、勇敢、體育精神、善良、靈活、創(chuàng)造力、耐心、個人修養(yǎng)和維護、自信和力量，這些需要在課堂之外學(xué)習(xí)和發(fā)展。在黑利伯瑞，每個學(xué)生每天都至關(guān)重要。這意味著我們不僅關(guān)注學(xué)生的學(xué)術(shù)進步，而且關(guān)注他們的社會、身體和愛好發(fā)展。參加西班牙語課、高爾夫、足球、游泳、跆拳道、機器人、芭蕾、造型、手工藝、繪畫、吉他等課外活動是發(fā)展自我的有效途徑。我鼓勵所有的學(xué)生珍惜這些學(xué)習(xí)的機會，因為你永遠不知道你的熱情或愛好的力量會促使你進步。

　　In the technologically advanced 21st century, the way students learn has changed significantly. Learning nowadays has become more efficient, accessible and fun. The days of using chalk and a blackboard are well behind us. Modern classrooms, such as the ones at Haileybury, have interactive whiteboards and projectors which can play videos and stream the internet. Most teachers at Haileybury use their laptops to assist their teaching every day and there are software applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint which have made teaching and learning easier. Mr. Joshua Webb is a popular international English and drama teacher in the primary school and he has developed his own English website which is aimed at providing English learning support and guidance to the parents and students of his year one class. On the website, you can find videos, PowerPoints, songs, activities and games which aid and support what happens in the classroom. It is a useful tool to parents who want to help their children to revise and it is also a useful educational website for parents who want to learn some English themselves! We trust the extra effort that Mr. Webb has put into his teaching has paid off with some rewarding dividends in the English language acquisition of his year one students.

　　在技術(shù)發(fā)達的二十一世紀(jì)，學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)方式發(fā)生了很大的變化。如今學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)變得更加高效、方便和有趣。使用粉筆和黑板的日子已經(jīng)離我們很遙遠了。比如在黑利伯瑞的現(xiàn)代化教室里，有交互式白板和投影儀，可以播放視頻，使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)。黑利伯瑞的大多數(shù)教師每天都使用筆記本電腦輔助教學(xué)，如Microsoft Word、Excel和Powerpoint之類的軟件應(yīng)用，這使得教學(xué)和學(xué)習(xí)更加便捷。Joshua Webb老師是小學(xué)部里很受歡迎的國際英語和戲劇老師，他自己制作了英語學(xué)習(xí)網(wǎng)站，這樣可以為一年級的家長和學(xué)生提供英語學(xué)習(xí)支持和指導(dǎo)。在網(wǎng)站上，你可以找到課堂上學(xué)到的視頻、PowerPoints、歌曲、活動和游戲。對于那些想幫助孩子復(fù)習(xí)的父母來說，它是一個有用的工具，對于那些想自己學(xué)習(xí)英語的父母來說，它也是一個有用的教育工具!我們相信，Webb老師在教學(xué)上所付出的努力，會讓一年級學(xué)生在英語學(xué)習(xí)上獲得了很大的進步。

　　Tomorrow is the primary school’s sports carnival. Our students have spent much time practicing their marches and rehearsing their war cries for the carnival. Sports carnivals are a fun and exciting time for students as they are great opportunities for students to participate in physical competitions and games. We trust our students will enjoy themselves in the many games and races on offer on the day such as tug of war, cricket, badminton, orienteering, balloon popping, sponge throwing, running races and relays. This year there are 17 activities for our students to participate in. Moreover, it is the opportune time for our students to relax, have fun and enjoy themselves.

　　明天是小學(xué)的運動會。我們的學(xué)生花了很多時間練習(xí)隊列，排練并練習(xí)運動會的口號。運動會對學(xué)生來說是一個有趣和令人興奮的時刻，因為這是他們參加體育競賽和游戲的機會。我們相信，我們的學(xué)生將會在許多比賽和當(dāng)天提供的比賽中享受自己，如板球，羽毛球，定向運動，氣球爆裂，海綿投擲，跑步比賽和接力賽。今年有17項活動我們的學(xué)生可以選擇參加。這會讓我們的學(xué)生放松，享受樂趣，享受自己。
