At the beginning of the new semester, teachers and students get together with great interest!

　　开学当晚，中外新老师生互相做了介绍，外教老师用幽默的语言为同学们营造出轻松的氛围，也让孩子们对老师在第一时间加深了解，无论中教外教，都是未来几年陪伴孩子成长的家庭成员。

　　On the night of the school open day, teachers and students from home and abroad introduced each other. The foreign teachers used humorous language to create a relaxed atmosphere for the students, and also let children have a deep understanding toward the teachers for the first time. Both chinese and foreign teachers are the family members who will accompany our children to grow up in the next few years.

　　师生见面会后，几位同学代表与同学们分享了自己的暑期生活：有的同学参加了霍普金斯天才训练营，分享了自己的收获与心得；有的同学利用暑期背上行囊到国外旅行，了解了异乡文化，开阔了视野，分享了旅途中的趣事；有的同学利用暑期行走乡村，做志愿者，提升自己的责任意识……同学们认真聆听，不时也会提出自己想要了解的问题，台上台下欢乐互动，启发交流，大有裨益。

　　After the meeting of teachers and students, several students representatives shared their summer life with other students. Some students took advantage of the summer vacation to travel abroad with their bags, understanding the culture of a foreign country, broadening their horizons, and sharing the fun of the trip; Some students used the summer vacation to walk in the countryside, doing volunteer job,enhancing their sense of responsibility......

　　On Wednesday afternoon, Veritas club recommendation meeting was held with great enthusiasm. This semester with a total of 14 clubs: MUN club, volunteer club, dance club, tea club, gym club, band club, art club, board game club, and so on, in order to attract more students to join their club, both Chinese and foreign teachers have tried their best to show their corporate culture and characteristics to attract the attention of the students. With previous experiences, most students can quickly determine their major interests, while some students paced back and forth, because there were so many clubs that they were interested in, therefore it was difficult to choose. Such a hard recommendation, it was really like a wonderful “Hundred-Regiment Campaign”!

　　新学年第一次导师谈话按照惯例于本周四顺利开展，导师制的目的是让外教导师和同学们通过交流沟通，互相了解，帮助同学们解决青春期遇到的成长及生活学习各方面的困惑和问题。同学们不愿意跟父母讲的话题会和外教导师分享，导师制为孩子们的成长保驾护航！

　　The first mentor-mentee conversation of the new academic year was carried out smoothly on Thursday evening as usual. The purpose of the mentor-mentee system is making the foreign teachers and students communicate with each other, knowing each other,very well and helpping students to solve the problems on study and growth, life and learning. Students are not willing to talk with their parents about some topics which will be shared with foreign teachers, so that mentor-mentee system will escort children’s growth!
