杭州惠立学校三月精彩回顾 | Huili School Activities: March

阳春布德泽，万物生光辉。三月盛春之际，杭州惠立学校的校园活动一如既往地开展着，彰显着学校对全方面教育的重视。《布兰登大学教育研究期刊》上的一篇文章表明，参与课外活动有助于青少年提升人际关系、行为表现和学术成就。例如，参加学术类课外活动的学生学术成就更高，参加体育课外活动的学生在数学、科学和文学方面的表现更佳，参加艺术和手工艺课外活动的学生有更高的学术成绩和更好的工作技能。自建校以来，杭州惠立学校坚持开展学术类、创意类、表演艺术类和运动类校园活动，希望引导同学们在多样化的体验中找到自己的热情所在，释放潜能、拓展视野，未来能落落大方地走上国际舞台，绽放精彩。请跟随我们的脚步，来一同见证惠立学子在三月校园活动中的各类阶段性成果吧！ 

学术类校园活动赋予学生拓展、甚至超越课堂所学的机会，引导学生勇攀高峰、挑战自我，通过辩论、演讲和语言学习等学术类活动，感受世界上多样文化的精彩。 

伦敦音乐戏剧学院（LAMDA）是英国权威的演讲与戏剧能力认证机构， LAMDA考试是结合诗歌散文朗诵表演、公众演讲和戏剧表演，集英语学习、素质教育和能力考试为一体的国际化等级考试，得到欧美国家的广泛认可。在老师们认真细致的辅导下，惠立学子已经在这一校园活动中取得优异的成绩：上学期， 17名参与LAMDA的等级考试的学生中，6名同学获得了卓越奖、9名同学获得了优秀奖。期待着更多的同学取得同样，甚至更加优异的成绩。 

学习一门语言，等于打开了一扇走向不同世界的窗户，让人真切地感受到世界的宏大。法语是世界上公认的最严谨的语言之一，被联合国作为第一书写语言。在法语入门课上，同学们在聚精会神地学习法语数字的表达。当老师随机暂停计时器时，同学们立刻用法语读出相对应的数字，课堂气氛瞬间热烈起来，同学们争先恐后地抢答着，加深了对数字读法的印象。 

创意类校园活动为学生提供发挥创意和想象力的平台，带领学生领悟传统、与时俱进。人类历史上的每一次进步都离不开创意和灵感的引导，而创意类校园活动培养的正是这种创意和想象力。 

从规模宏大的千年敦煌壁画到彰显个性的多元现代壁画，壁画这一艺术形式以独特的魅力吸引着人们的关注。壁画艺术校园活动旨在引导学生学习设计和绘制大型公共艺术壁画。学生们用数字和传统技术，精心开展视觉构图、插图、标志绘画和美术绘画，同时融合历史、传统和当代壁画风格，打造属于自己的艺术风格。 

随着时代的进步，数字变革已经从计算机和互联网延伸至各类人文艺术领域，其中就包含数字化艺术。课堂中，同学们可以探索平面设计、数字插画、照片处理、新媒体和动画等领域。同学们还将增强对与通信技术相关的环境和社会问题的认识，并将探索各种通信技术领域中的学习和培训途径，了解相关的职业机会。   

通过表演艺术的多种形式，同学们探索着角色的情感，让天马行空的想象力肆意翱翔，并发出自己独特的声音。音乐、舞蹈和戏剧，这些学科都以不同的方式调动着学生的思维、肢体和情感，让同学们自信地表达自我，并从中找到快乐。 

趣味配音校园活动能很好地锻炼同学们的模仿力、专注力、观察力、协调力和领悟力，是一种学习语言艺术的方法。同学们选择想要配音的角色，通过对不同角色的理解，提高揣摩人物和文字的功力。 

音乐剧是一种集大成的表演艺术形式，让同学们通过音乐和舞蹈这种另类的语言，表达出语言无法表达的强烈情感，诉说故事的发展、演绎戏剧的冲突。同学们通过肢体动作，配合音乐和舞台环境，充分开发了想象力，展现出表演方面的才艺。在完成系统的剧本排练之后，同学们还能在学校大剧院的专业舞台上，感受舞美、音美，一展年少风范！让我们共同期待同学们之后的表现。

体育锻炼有助于培养健康的生活方式、提升体能，还能培养学生的团队精神、解决问题的能力、沟通能力和社交技能。可见，体育类校园活动有着极为多元化的益处。 

射箭是一种运用巧力的运动，强调端身正体与直线对称用力。经常开展射箭运动，可以提升我们的体能，不仅可以增强肩、臂、腰、腿部的力量，还可以发达胸、背肌肉。训练期间，同学们的眼睛关注着远处的目标，有助于缓解长时间书本学习带来的视觉疲劳，还可以学会平衡力度与注意力，陶冶情操。 

曲棍球是一项极佳的有氧运动，同学们可以锻炼肌肉力量，提高协调和平衡能力，在高强度的运动中提升心肺耐受能力。春日暖阳下，同学们用球杆将球努力运到对手的球门前，巧妙躲避对方的干扰，通过灵活的动作，将球击入球门！进球的那一瞬间，同学们热烈的欢呼声是对这项运动最好的诠释。 

我们将持续更新校园活动精彩，敬请期待。

In this blissful spring, School Activities are in full swing at Huili School Hangzhou, demonstrating the faithful adherence to our holistic educational ethos. An article published in BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education indicates that being involved in extracurricular activities offers important opportunities for adolescent development, such as peer relations, appropriate social conduct, and basic skills for academic achievement. For example, pupils who participate in athletic clubs tend to have increased maths and science and literacy scores. Extracurricular participation in arts and crafts also results in higher academic scores and better working skills. Additionally, participation in academic clubs yields higher academic attainment. Since its establishment, Huili School Hangzhou has had a wide range of School Activities (SAs) that supplement and enhance life at the school. The academic, creative, performing arts and physical SAs at Huili allow pupils to find their passions while realising their potential and broadening their horizons so they may go on to the global stage with an assertive posture.  

Read on and discover how our Huili pupils have embraced the opportunities to explore the unknown with courage in March.

Academic campus activities give pupils the opportunity to expand and even go beyond what they have learned in the classroom, guiding them to reach for the top and challenge themselves. To experience diverse cultures from around the world through academic activities such as debating, presenting and learning another language. 

LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) is one of the leading certification organisations for speech and drama skills in the UK. Widely recognised by western universities, LAMDA provides a wide range of exams for poetry, prose recitation, acting, public speaking, and drama performance. Pupils achieve outstanding results with the guidance of teachers. In the previous semester, 17 pupils participated in the LAMDA exams, of which six pupils obtained the Distinction grade and nine pupils obtained the Merit grade. 

Learning a new language is very beneficial, as it gives people a real sense of the magnitude of the world. French is a beautiful language. French is recognised as one of the most rigorous languages in the world and is used as the first written language by the United Nations. In the French beginner SA, pupils concentrate on a timer. The moment the teacher stops the timer, immediately, pupils read out the number in French, which is a great exercise to familiarise the pronunciation of numbers in French. By learning the French language, pupils get a taste of the charm of France.  

Creative Activities SA offers a platform for pupils to be creative and imaginative allowing pupils to learn from traditions while being progressive. Each advancement in human history has been guided by creativity and inspiration, and it is this spirit that this type of SA aims to cultivate in Huili pupils. 

From magnificent Duhuang Murals to modern murals that feature individuality and diversity, murals have caught our eye with their unique charm. Mural Painting prepares pupils to design and paint large-scale public art murals. Pupils in this SA utilise both digital and traditional techniques from visual composition, illustration, sign painting, and fine art painting while integrating historical, traditional and contemporary mural painting styles. From this SA, pupils can form their very own individual artistic style.  

As times progress, digital change has extended from computers and the internet to all types of humanities and arts, including digital art. In the computer based art SA, pupils can explore areas such as graphic design, digital illustration, photo editing, new media and animation. Pupils will also develop an awareness of environmental and social issues related to communication technology. Also, pupils will explore a variety of secondary school, higher education and training pathways and career opportunities in the field of communication technology. 

The performing arts encourage children to explore their emotions, expand their imagination and helps them develop their own unique voice. Each discipline of music, dance and drama engages a child's brain, body and emotions in different ways to encourage their confidence and find joy in self-expression. 

The Chinese dubbing SA is a great way to learn the art of language by exercising pupils’ ability to imitate, concentrate, observe, coordinate, and comprehend. Pupils have different understandings of each character, and use their own voice to give life to their chosen characters.  

A musical is a collective form of performing arts where pupils can express intense emotions that sometimes words alone are unable to communicate. A truly creative opportunity to tell a story and perform a dramatic conflict through another language of music and dance. Pupils develop their imagination and demonstrate their acting talent through interacting with the music and the environment. Not only that, after completing the script rehearsal, pupils will perform on stage with sound effects and lighting in our professional Grand Theatre. Let us look forward to their much-anticipated performance at the end of the semester! 

Having physical exercises encourages a healthy lifestyle and develops key physical attributes. It has mental benefits, too, as it develops teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills. Social aptitudes and team bonding are strengthened by extracurricular sporting activities; it is known that nothing is more powerful than sport in bring individuals together and building relationships.  

When practising archery, pupils must use their strength wisely. This sport requires pupils to stand upright and use straight, symmetrical force. Regular, archery specific exercises can promote good posture changes in the human body, strengthening both upper and lower body muscles, and in particular, developing the intricate chest and back muscles. During training, pupils' eyes focus on distant targets, which helps relieve the visual fatigue caused by long hours of reading books.  

Field hockey is a popular aerobic exercise where pupils can improve muscle strength, coordination, and balance. Under the warm spring sun, pupils are using their hockey sticks to dribble the ball to the goal, dodging opponents’ interferences and finally scoring! Everyone cheered excitedly when the ball hit the goal!  

We will continue to update our SA highlights and share them with you in the future.
