校长来信｜新学年，新展望

亲爱的家长和监护人，

Dear Parents and Guardians,

新学年开学在即，我们又将共同度过激动人心的一学年。欢迎今年加入广州耀华国际教育学校的新家庭，我们期待在新学年的各项活动中与你们会面。在耀华，我们鼓励家长与学校充分沟通、反馈，也期望家长给予学校最大的支持。通过家校共同的努力，我们的学生定将会获得最好的教育和最愉快的学习体验。

We are delighted to welcome you to another exciting new year here at the Yew Wah International Education School of Guangzhou. We want to extend a special welcome to those families joining us at Yew Wah for the first time and look forward to seeing all of you at the various events throughout the semester. Please remember that we encourage as much communication and support from home as possible: it is a combined effort to ensure that all the students have the best education and the happiest experience at our School.

耀华的教育理念倡导全人教育，全人教育涵盖了学术成就，批判性思维，品格发展，艺术天赋，音乐才能和体育技能发展。本学年学校将有一些新的教学和非教学成员加入，他们将继续为学生们提供优质的课程和丰富的课外活动机会。学校自创校伊始，就建立了一个强大的学习型社区，这和我们所有教学员工、非教学员工、学生和家长的付出是分不开的。

We promote a holistic education for our students, based around a focus on academic achievements, critical thinking, character development, artistic flair, musical talent and physical skills development. We have a number of new academic and non-academic staff joining the School this semester who will continue to enhance the outstanding curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for the students. We have built a strong community of learning since our foundation as a school which includes our staff (academic and non-academic), students and parent community.

今年，学校将继续提供一系列的课堂内、外学习活动，引导、鼓励学生激发自己最大的潜能。您将会注意到我们的很多新举措，包括餐厅的升级、停车场的改造、小学STEAM教室的新建，幼儿园的个人成长计划，小学英语使用IXL软件来提升学生的英语能力，中学通过LitPr平台来培养学生的英语阅读习惯；学校的各项工作我们都精益求精。游学项目也是我们课程的一个重要组成部分，我们希望学生们的学习不只局限在教室内，还要在“真实世界”里学习。在耀华，我们为学生提供诸多这样的学习机会！

This year we will continue to focus on guiding students in developing and reach their full potential by providing them with a wide variety of learning experiences both in and outside of the classroom and you will note a number of new initiatives ranging from improving the Canteen environment and parking facilities, more co-curricular clubs and activities, launch of our digital library, Primary STEAM room and individual children planning for ECE. Adopting the “IXL” platform to help primary students with their English skills, and the “LitPro” platform to cultivate secondary students English reading habits. Underpinning all of this is the “milestone planning” for university guidance to provide both parents and students a clearer understanding of the application process for universities. Education trips will play an important aspect of our curriculum, as we want our students to not just learn in the school, but also out in the “real world”. There are so many fantastic opportunities for students at Yew Wah!

无论是对学生还是对员工，我们都抱以非常高的标准和期望，我们鼓励学生通过努力学习发挥自己最大的潜力，利用每一个机会发展自己的品格和人际交往能力，这是学生个体发展的一部分。我们的目标是确保无论学生的抱负如何，在未来的职业生涯中他们都能取得成功。

The expectations and standards which we place upon students and staff are very high and we are committed to ensure that students work hard to achieve their potential, and take every opportunity to develop their character and interpersonal skills as part of their own journey of personal development. Our aim is to ensure that whatever the hopes and ambitions of our students, that they are successful in whatever they choose as a career in the future.

欢迎大家加入耀华，我们提供最好的东西方教育，让孩子们享受愉快的学习和生活。我们祝愿您在广州耀华这个大家庭收获非凡的体验。

We welcome you all to school which aims to provide the best of east and west through joyful learning experiences. We wish you a great experience while being part of the family at Yew Wah International Education School of Guangzhou.
