8月26日,伴着夏末的习习凉风,我们迎来了清华附中国际部2019-2020学年的开学典礼。与过去10年相比,本届开学典礼因参与人数众多,首次将小学和中学的仪式分开举办。这反映了国际部正以其优秀的教育水平、先进的育人理念,获得了越来越多学生和家长的肯定。漫步校园,我们看到稚嫩且充满期待的新面孔,也收获了亲切熟悉的灿烂笑容。别来无恙,欢迎回家!
上午8:30,小学部的开学典礼率先拉开了帷幕。清华附中国际部校长助理兼招生办主任依兰女士分别主持了小学部和中学部的典礼,并向全体同学和家长表达了热烈的欢迎和诚挚的祝福。
清华附中国际部执行校长李文平女士致辞。她回顾了过去一学年中,小学部组织的丰富多彩的活动,以及学生在学术方面取得的累累硕果。学年伊始之际,李校长向小学部的同学提出了三点要求:希望他们踏实好学、严于律己、珍惜时间,在新的开始孕育新的希望。中学部的开学典礼上,李校长高度肯定了清华附中国际部在过去一年中取得的卓越成就,并强调了国际部“培养根植于中国文化,具有独立思考能力及创新精神的国际化杰出人才”的使命和“中西合璧”的办学特色。“背靠清华、面向世界”,李校长希望国际部的学生在走向世界的同时,能够传承和发扬清华精神。发言中,李校长还与教师、家长和学生们一同回顾了今年5月国际部举办的十周年系列庆典,当时的激动、欢乐和荣光依旧历历在目。

中学部主任Jeffrey Joyce的致辞依旧幽默且充满力量。他反思时间的流逝,年龄的增长以及它们留下的最珍贵的财富——智慧。他认为沉淀智慧的过程如同徐徐行驶的火车,需要持续的反思、深刻的对话和丰富的阅历。Jeffrey勉励在座的年轻人,不畏时间,勤学慎独,一起踏上寻找智慧的旅程。
“经历对于智者来说已经被赋予了更深更广的意义。智者不拘泥于单一的思维,他们会在深思熟虑后选择自己的立场。他们权衡行动和言语可能带来的所有结果,以确保它们适合任何特定的情况——他们在回答之前先提问,在说话之前先聆听。他们对自己所知与未知都有把握,并不吝如实表达。”
"The wise have transcended their experiences and come to a deeper and broader understanding of what those experiences mean. They don’t have single tracked minds and aren’t quick to choose sides. They weigh out the possible outcomes of actions and words to make sure that they are appropriate to any given situation - they ask questions before launching into answers. They listen before they speak. They are sure of both what they know and what they don’t- and are open to expressing both."

学生代表Celine Lee的演讲坦诚且自信,她通过两段实习经历,坦露自己“初入职场”的心得和感悟,明白只有更加努力才能有底气选择自己想要的生活。“欢迎回到学校”对她而言,也不再意味着“失望”,而是意味着 “兴奋”。
"The next time you feel like suffocating from school work, BREATH, take a step back, see that you want to learn now so that you can choose the life you want in your own futures."
国际部学术校长Maxine Klimasara女士总结发言。她向小学部全体学生及家长阐述了国际部的5个核心价值观及其重要性,勉励学生将核心价值观践行到生活的每个细节。在中学部开学典礼的发言中,Maxine女士重申“清华精神”的特质,她希望学生敢于尝试、接受风险;培养韧性、永不放弃。
“诚实地说,从来THIS的第一天起,我每天都可以学到新东西。”
"As long as I have been at THIS or for that matter have been alive, I can honestly say that seldom a day goes by that I don’t learn something new."
