　　Dear Parents, Students, Staff, and the Xin Fuxue International Academy Community,

　　It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of commitment that I introduce myself as the new International Principal of Xin Fuxue International Academy. It is a privilege to be joining this vibrant and diverse community of learners, educators, and families. I am thrilled to embark on this journey with you, as we strive together to create an environment where every child can flourish academically, socially, and personally.

　　With over 25 years of experience in education, ranging from leadership roles in the UK, USA, Australia, and China, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for education. Throughout my career, I have worked in various educational contexts, encompassing K-12, universities, and bilingual education, with a strong emphasis on academic excellence, pastoral care, and safeguarding. I have dedicated myself to creating inclusive learning environments that encourage academic achievement and nurture students’ emotional and social growth. It is this holistic approach that I look forward to fostering at Xin Fuxue International Academy.

　　My own educational journey has been both diverse and enriching. I hold a Bachelor of Education from James Cook University in Australia, a CFPS from Cambridge University, and a Master of Education from the University of Essex, where I focused on Leadership in Education. These qualifications have provided me with a solid academic foundation and a deep understanding of educational leadership and pedagogy. Currently, I am privileged to contribute to the development of future educators as a lecturer and tutor for teacher training at Buckingham University, helping to shape the next generation of dedicated and knowledgeable teachers.

　　At Xin Fuxue International Academy, I envision a school where academic excellence is not merely a goal, but a journey—a journey that requires hard work, consistent effort, and the courage to embrace challenges and failures as part of the learning process. It is through such experiences that we develop resilience and a true love for learning.

　　As Albert Einstein aptly stated,“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”This quote encapsulates my educational philosophy. Learning is a dynamic process, and growth occurs when we encourage our students to take risks, make mistakes, reflect, and persevere. This approach not only enhances academic success but also instils a sense of self-belief and confidence in each student.

　　The pursuit of academic excellence is not achieved through shortcuts; it requires dedication, resilience, and a willingness to put in effort consistently. My teaching philosophy emphasises the importance of students developing a growth mindset—understanding that intelligence and abilities can be cultivated through hard work, strategic efforts, and a willingness to face setbacks with courage.

　　In our classrooms and throughout the school community, we will encourage students to challenge themselves, to try new approaches, and to never be afraid of failure. Instead, we will promote a culture where students view failures as valuable learning opportunities. This mindset will not only enhance their academic outcomes but also prepare them to face the complexities of the real world with determination and resilience.

　　Respect will be the cornerstone of our school culture. I firmly believe that every member of our community—whether a student, a teacher, a parent, or a member of staff—deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. This mutual respect forms the foundation of a positive and supportive learning environment. Respect towards teachers, respect towards fellow students, and respect towards oneself are integral to building a harmonious and inclusive school community.

　　Self-discipline plays a pivotal role in developing good habits and routines. By fostering self-discipline, students will learn to take responsibility for their own actions, maintain focus in their studies, and manage their time effectively. These skills are essential not only for their academic success but also for their growth as independent and responsible individuals.

　　As the International Principal, I will work diligently with the leadership team, teachers, and staff to ensure that every student feels valued and supported. We will strive to maintain high standards of behaviour and conduct, both inside and outside the classroom. Good behaviour is paramount in creating a conducive learning environment, where each student’s right to learn is respected and upheld.

　　While academic success is crucial, I believe that a well-rounded education goes beyond the classroom. It encompasses the development of character, emotional intelligence, and social skills. At Xin Fuxue International Academy, we will prioritise the holistic development of every student. This means promoting critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication, while also nurturing empathy, resilience, and a strong sense of social responsibility.

　　Our school will continue to provide opportunities for students to engage in extracurricular activities, sports, and arts and introduce community service, allowing them to explore their interests and talents. Through these experiences, students will develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their peers, and the world around them.

　　To achieve these ambitious goals, I recognise the importance of collaboration between the school, families, and the broader community. Education is a shared journey, and the active involvement of parents and the community is essential to the success of our students. I encourage open communication, mutual trust, and a strong partnership between parents and the school. Together, we can create an environment where each child feels supported, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential.

　　As we begin this new chapter at Xin Fuxue International Academy, I am eager to work alongside each of you—parents, students, teachers, and staff—to build upon the strong foundation that has been established. My commitment to you is to lead with integrity, transparency, and a steadfast dedication to the success and wellbeing of every student.

　　I am confident that, together, we can have a school community where students are encouraged to be inquisitive, compassionate, and resilient learners. A community where every individual is respected and valued, and where excellence is not just an aspiration, but a daily practice.

　　I would like to thank you for entrusting Xin Fuxue International Academy with your child’s education. I am honoured to have the opportunity to serve this community and look forward to working with each of you to make our school a place where every student thrives.

　　If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am committed to being accessible and approachable and welcome your feedback as we strive to achieve our shared vision for the school.

　　With warm regards,

　　Kristan Proudman

　　親愛的家長、學生、教職員工以及北京市新府學外國語學校的全體成員：

　　我懷著極大的熱情和深切的責任感，自豪地向您介紹我自己，作為新任外方校長加入北京市新府學外國語學校。能夠融入這一充滿活力與多樣性的學習、教育和家庭社區(qū)，對我而言實屬榮幸。我興奮不已，期待與大家共同開啟這段旅程，致力于為每一位孩子創(chuàng)造一個在學業(yè)、社交和個人發(fā)展上都能蓬勃發(fā)展的環(huán)境。

　　我在教育領域擁有超過25年的經驗，曾在英國、美國、澳大利亞和中國擔任領導職務，因此積累了豐富的知識和對教育的真摯熱情。在我職業(yè)生涯的不同階段，我在多種教育環(huán)境中工作，包括K-12教育、大學以及雙語教育，始終強調學術卓越、身心關懷和安全保障。我致力于創(chuàng)造包容性學習環(huán)境，鼓勵學術成就，同時培育學生的情感與社交成長。我期待在北京市新府學外國語學校進一步推動這種全面發(fā)展的教育理念。

　　我的教育歷程豐富多彩，充滿啟發(fā)。我擁有澳大利亞詹姆斯·庫克大學的教育學學士學位、劍橋大學的CFPS學位，以及英國埃塞克斯大學的教育學碩士學位，專注于教育領導。這些資質為我打下了堅實的學術基礎，使我對教育領導力和教育方法有了深刻的理解。目前，我有幸在白金漢大學擔任講師和輔導員，參與未來教育者的發(fā)展，為下一個世代的優(yōu)秀教師培養(yǎng)貢獻我的力量。

　　在北京市新府學外國語學校，學術卓越不僅僅是我們所追求的目標，而是一個涵蓋不懈努力、堅持不懈及勇于面對挑戰(zhàn)和失敗的旅程。正是在這樣的學習旅程中，我們將培養(yǎng)出韌性與真正的學習熱愛。

　　正如阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦所言：“從未犯過錯的人，從未嘗試過新的事物�！边@句話精準地概括了我的教育哲學。學習是一個動態(tài)的過程，只有在我們鼓勵學生冒險、犯錯、反思并堅持時，成長才會發(fā)生。這種方法不僅提升學術成功，還培養(yǎng)每位學生對自我的信念與自信心。

　　追求學術卓越不能依賴捷徑，而需要奉獻、韌性以及持之以恒的努力。我的教學哲學強調學生發(fā)展成長心態(tài)的重要性——理解智慧和能力可以通過努力、策略性付出和勇于面對挫折而得以培養(yǎng)。

　　在我們的課堂及整個學校社區(qū)中，我們將鼓勵學生挑戰(zhàn)自己，嘗試新方法，并永不畏懼失敗。相反，我們將倡導一種文化，讓學生把失敗視為寶貴的學習機會。這種心態(tài)不僅能提升他們的學業(yè)成績，還將使他們以堅韌和決心應對現實世界的復雜性。

　　尊重將是我們學校文化的基石。我堅信，每一位社區(qū)成員——無論是學生、教師、家長，還是員工——都應受到尊重與尊嚴的對待。這種相互尊重構成了積極而支持的學習環(huán)境的基礎。尊重教師、尊重同學以及尊重自己是構建和諧而包容學校社區(qū)的必備要素。

　　自律在培養(yǎng)良好的習慣和規(guī)律中扮演著至關重要的角色。通過培養(yǎng)自律，學生將學會對自己的行為負責，專注于學習，并有效管理時間。這些技能不僅對學業(yè)成功至關重要，也為他們成長為獨立、負責任的個體奠定基礎。

　　作為外方校長，我將與領導團隊、教師及員工密切合作，確保每位學生都感到被重視與支持。我們將努力維護高標準的行為規(guī)范，無論是在課堂內外。良好的行為是創(chuàng)建一個良好學習環(huán)境的前提，每位學生享有的學習權利都應獲得尊重與維護。

　　雖然學業(yè)成功至關重要，我相信全面發(fā)展的教育超越于課堂。它涵蓋了品格、情感智力及社交技能的發(fā)展。在北京市新府學外國語學校，我們將優(yōu)先考慮每位學生的全面發(fā)展。這意味著促進批判性思維、創(chuàng)造力、合作和溝通，同時培養(yǎng)同情心、韌性和強烈的社會責任感。

　　我們的學校將繼續(xù)為學生提供參與課外活動、體育和藝術的機會，并引入社區(qū)服務，幫助他們探索自己的興趣與才能。通過這些經歷，學生將更深刻地理解自己、同伴及周圍的世界。

　　為實現這些宏偉目標，我認識到學校、家庭和更廣泛社區(qū)之間合作的重要性。教育是一段共同的旅程，家長和社區(qū)的積極參與對學生的成功至關重要。我鼓勵開放的溝通、相互信任以及校方與家長之間的緊密合作。唯有攜手合作，我們才能創(chuàng)造一個每個孩子都感到受到支持、受到鼓舞，并能充分發(fā)揮潛力的環(huán)境。

　　在北京市新府學外國語學校嶄新的篇章即將開啟之際，我期待與大家一起——家長、學生、教師和員工，構建在已有堅實基礎上的未來。我承諾以誠信、透明和堅定的決心來確保每個學生的成功與福祉。

　　我堅信，通過我們的共同努力，我們能夠創(chuàng)建一個鼓勵學生成為探究者、富有同情心和有韌性的學習者的學校社區(qū)。在這里，每一個個體都被尊重和重視，卓越不僅是目標，而是每天的實踐。

　　感謝您將北京市新府學外國語學校的教育托付于我。我感到榮幸，期待與您共同努力，使我們的學校成為每個學生茁壯成長的地方。

　　如果您有任何問題或建議，請隨時與我聯系。我致力于保持開放和親切，并歡迎您的反饋，以共同實現我們對學校的共同愿景。

　　祝好，

　　克里斯坦·普勞德曼
