Sixth Form Matters
在IGCSE课程的最后一年中，时光就如白驹过隙。虽然本学年刚开始不久，但我们也要展望中学时期最后的高中阶段。在最后的两年时间里，学生们将要学习三门自选A Level科目并申请大学。A Level课程被誉为16岁后教育的黄金标准，受到世界各地大学的广泛认可，也是最受大多数英国学生欢迎的大学升学课程。通过学习颇具挑战的A Level课程，学生将掌握出色的学科知识和技能，为大学学习做足准备。
It seems that the phrase ‘time flies’ is never truer than during the final year of IGCSEs. No sooner have we started this academic year that we must now look ahead to the final stage of senior school, the Sixth Form. During these final two years, pupils will study three A Levels (Advanced Levels) of their choice and apply for university. A Levels are the gold standard of post 16 education and the most popular route into higher education for UK pupils. They are highly regarded by institutions across the world because the challenging nature of the A Level course enables pupils to develop specialist subject knowledge and technical skills while providing excellent preparation for university.
为帮助学生选择A Level科目，我们诚邀您和孩子一同参加于10月15日（周五）晚5点至7点在杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校中庭召开的高中部选课信息分享会。届时，将由我概述高中部的学术课程，再由各学科负责人具体介绍课程详情。
In order to help our pupils decide which A Levels to study, we will be hosting the Sixth Form Options Evening on Friday 15 October from 5:00-7:00pm at the Wellington College International Hangzhou school atrium. At this event I will outline the academic curriculum in Sixth Form and afterwards the heads of each academic subject will be available to share the details of their courses.
从IGCSE和A Level课程，这一步常被称为“跳跃”，意即A level课程的要求更高、需要学生投入更多的时间和精力开展课外学习。学生要选择自己感兴趣的科目，在兴趣的驱使下，学生就能完成作业和额外的阅读任务，更成功地完成这场“跳跃”。
The difference between studying for IGCSEs and A Levels is usually referred to as a ‘jump’, meaning that the A Level programme is much more demanding and requires far more time and commitment outside of lessons. It is important that pupils choose subjects that they enjoy. If a pupil enjoys the subject, then they will be able to complete the work and extra reading and handle the ‘jump’ with far greater success.
做好A Level科目选择是学生追随自身学术热情、走向未来专业领域的第一步。我们将协助学生做好选择，也热烈期待着同学们未来的学业表现。
Choosing one's A Level subjects is the first stepping stone that pupils make towards specialising in their future field and following their academic passions. We are excited to be supporting our learners through this process and cannot wait to see where their journeys take them.
我很高兴与大家分享一个好消息——我们将与Unifrog (www.unifrog.org) 平台合作，为学生提供做出学术选择的最佳建议。该在线平台有丰富的择校和职业相关内容储备，如：
I am happy to announce that we have partnered with Unifrog (www.unifrog.org) to provide pupils with the first class advice on making academic choices. They are an online platform with a wealth of knowledge on all things university and careers related including:
我们已经将个人登录账号提供给九至十年级以及A Level预备班的学生们，并开始建立档案。升学指导老师将在每周升学指导课上运用这一资源，直至学生在最后一年完成大学申请。
Pupils in Grades 9 and 10 and the Pre A Level class have been given their individual logins to start building their portfolios. Our university advisers will be using this beneficial resource in their weekly lessons with the pupils right up until their applications are sent off in their final year of school.
该平台将举办多场激动人心的网络研讨会，首场活动专为亚洲学生开设。期间，学生可以和来自世界各地顶尖大学的高校代表交流，参加在线信息会，了解如何成功申请大学、学生财务事宜和在不同国家学习的体验。
The first of many exciting online events include a webinar specifically for pupils in Asia. Participants will join top universities from around the world to speak to their representatives, and attend live sessions on how to apply successfully, understand student finance, and what it's like to study in different countries.
学生可打开该平台官网中的“Webinars（网络研讨会）”链接或点击下方链接，登录并加入本场线上研讨会：
Pupils can join by logging in and following the link to ‘Webinars’. Alternatively, they can follow this link:

上述活动包含丰富的专业知识，我强烈建议学生登录并积极参加。请您与孩子一同讨论要参加哪些课程。这可以成为一项有意义的家庭活动，能让家长了解更多出国留学的情况。
I strongly encourage pupils to login and access this wealth of expertise and knowledge. Please discuss these events with your child and decide which sessions you would like to join. It would be worth making it a family event so parents can also learn about studying abroad.

教学质量评估是为学生提供优质教育和促进教师发展的重要组成部分。本周，每一位教学团队成员均接受了至少两位初中部中层管理团队的课堂观摩并收到了高质量的反馈。这为教师提供了宝贵的提升机会，有助于实现持续进步，明确学生在新学年的教学需求。我们为所有初中部的教师感到骄傲，并对教师与学生抱有很高的期待。我们希望培养学生对学习负责的态度和独立学习的能力。本周的教学实践中，我们尤其强调这一点，与教学团队共同找出提高实现这一目标的方法，拓展教学的深度来加快学习的进程。
Assessing our quality of teaching and learning is integral to provision of education for our pupils, but also the development of our staff. This week in Junior High all members of our teaching team have been observed by at least two members of the senior team. This provides quality feedback and development opportunities for our staff to ensure that we are continually progressing and also identifies the needs of our pupils as they settle into the new academic year. We are proud of our teachers in Junior High, we have high expectations of both our own practices, and also of our pupils. We want to develop their ability to take responsibility for their learning and become independent learners. This transition is evident in our teaching practices this week as we work with our teaching team to identify how they can make this happen and challenge the pupils in their class to accelerate learning.
在此，我们预祝大家国庆假期愉快！期待着同学们于2021年10月11日（周一）返校。假期结束后，我们将分年级召开咖啡晨会及七、八年级活动日，加强班际联系，提升学生的人际交往能力。期待与您分享更多活动的精彩照片。
We hope that every family has a wonderful Golden week and we look forward to welcoming pupils back to school on Monday 11 October 2021. We are starting the term with Grade specific coffee events for our parents, as well as our activity days for Grade 7 and Grade 8. These activity days are so important for the bonding of classes and the development of their interpersonal skills. We look forward to sharing the photographs of these days with you.

泱泱华夏，巍巍中华，千年文明，历代传承。为热烈庆祝中华人民共和国成立72周年，引导学生树立正确的人生观、价值观，弘扬爱国情怀，增强学生的民族自信心和民族认同感，小学部三至六年级进行了为期一周的国庆庆祝活动。
China is a great country with a long history and rich culture. To celebrate the 72nd birthday of the People's Republic of China, G3 to G6 pupils held a week-long celebration, through which we also aim to guide pupils to establish correct values, to promote patriotism and to enhance pupils’ ethnic confidence and national identity.
周一的集会上，小学各年级的同学们用稚嫩的嗓音来共同歌唱祖国。三年级的同学用《我和我的祖国》唱响了自己对祖国的依恋之情，四年级的同学们《我的祖国》则借祖国的壮美河山和英雄儿女来歌颂祖国。五年级同学带来的《少年强则中国强》则以“我口唱我心”，用歌声表现了年轻一代学子的责任和担当；六年级则为我们带来了气势恢宏的《共和国之恋》。学生们用他们饱含情感的歌声，为祖国送上了最诚挚的生日祝福。最后，五、六年级的学生代表们朗诵《少年中国说》，传递出新一代有志少年的精神风貌。
At the assembly on Monday, pupils from each grade performed beautiful songs for our motherland. G3 pupils performed “My Motherland and Me” to express their love for our country; G4 pupils passionately sang “My Motherland” to praise the motherland with its magnificent rivers and mountains and heroic sons and daughters. G5 pupils brought us the poetry “If the young people are strong, the country will be strong” to express their responsibility and aspirations; G6 pupils performed the magnificent song “Love for the People's Republic of China”. All pupils expressed their sincerest birthday wishes to our motherland. Finally, G5 and G6 pupil representatives recited “On our Young China”, which conveyed the spirit of a new aspiring young generation.
周四，学生们参加了以“民族服饰”为主题的庆祝活动，他们身着来自不同少数民族的服饰，自信地展示了中国传统服饰的魅力。同时，为了增加学生们对民族文化的了解，语文组教师们将课堂内外活动相结合，让学生们通过自主调查研究，了解了更多民族服饰背后的文化知识。
On Thursday, pupils joined the celebration on “Ethnic Costumes”. They dressed in different costumes and confidently showed the charm of traditional Chinese ethnic costumes. To strengthen pupils’ understanding of ethic culture, the Chinese teaching team combined activities inside and outside the classroom to help pupils learn more about the cultural knowledge behind ethnic costumes through investigation and research.
我们相信，每一位惠立学子未来会成为中国文化的使者，将中国精神、价值观和灿烂文化带给全世界。
We believe that each Hiba pupil will grow into an ambassador of Chinese culture in the future, bringing Chinese spirit, values and splendid culture to the world.

非常感谢家长们愿意支持并参与到学生的学习旅程中，这是我在惠立社群非常珍惜的一件事。本周四，我们与各班家长代表在低年级首场集会上度过了非常愉快的时光。家长代表们也积极为学部的新放学安排出谋划策。关于新的放学安排，我会再单独邮件告知所有低年级学生家长。
One of the many things that I treasure and appreciate about the Hiba community is the willingness of our families to always support the school and share in their child’s journey. We have enjoyed a fantastic experience with our parent representatives this week in bringing to life our very first celebration of learning. Our parent reps have also contributed to our new dismissal plan and routines that I will communicate in a separate letter to all Lower Primary families.
当前，团队成员们在开展基线评估、认知能力测试和新小组阅读测试的信息处理与反馈等工作，努力为每位学生规划最合适的个人学习方案。我们将在10月15日的“积极育儿”信息分享会上与您分享各项主要安排。
As a team we are currently working on the information and feedback received from our baseline assessment, Cat4 and NGRT tests and we are hard at work planning and preparing for the individual journeys of each of our pupils. A few themes came through clearly and we are looking forward to sharing more about this with you at our Positive Parenting session on 15 October.
在此，我们热烈祝贺Angy Patarroyo老师（学生们亲切称呼的“V老师”）升任二年级年级组长。今年是Angy老师在惠立任职的第三年，她为小学低年级的顺利转型贡献了至关重要的力量。我坚信，作为二年级年级组长，Angy老师对惠立社群的热情和奉献精神将鼓舞每一位与之共事的人。
It is with great excitement that I am able to announce the appointment of Ms. Angy Patoroyo or ‘Ms V’ as she is known by our pupils as the Garde 2 Year Group Lead. Currently in her third year at Hiba School, Ms Angy has played an instrumental role in the transformation of our Lower Primary school. I am confident that her dedication and enthusiasm for our community will inspire everyone that has the opportunity to work with her as Grade 2 lead.
祝大家黄金周快乐！我期待着学生和家长们以饱满的热情和喜悦重返校园！
I wish you a joyful Golden Week holiday and hope that you and your child return to school filled with wonder and excitement.

动人的音乐、灵动的舞步和激昂的演讲让表演艺术中心焕发出蓬勃的生机。九年级的戏剧课精彩无限：从《麦克白》到奥斯卡·王尔德，同学们积极探索戏剧独白。九年级的音乐课也不逊色，随着音乐元素的初步学习告一段落，同学们将在黄金周后开展对第一项既定任务的评估。十年级同学正在进行作曲作业，并将完成对巴赫的《勃兰登堡协奏曲》的分析作业。
