　　歡迎大家來(lái)到新的學(xué)年。這是一年中令人期待萬(wàn)分的時(shí)刻。歡迎大家回到學(xué)校，以及七年級(jí)和八年級(jí)的新學(xué)生。老師們?cè)跒槟銈兊牡絹?lái)做準(zhǔn)備，工作人員也在努力工作，為校園增添了很多精彩的內(nèi)容。一切準(zhǔn)備就緒，期待順利開(kāi)啟。

　　Welcome everyone to a new school year. It really is an exciting time of the year. We welcome our new students in year 7 and 8 and welcome back our students from last year. The teachers are preparing for your arrival and staff have been working hard with done wonderful additions to the grounds for students to enjoy. Everything looks polished and ready to go.

　　指導(dǎo)綱領(lǐng)是我們?cè)赟OIS所做一切的基礎(chǔ)。我們經(jīng)常談?wù)搶W(xué)校的愿景是“教育、培養(yǎng)、啟迪”。今年，我想向大家介紹我們培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的特質(zhì)。隨著學(xué)生的進(jìn)一步教育，高等院校都在尋找候選人能否給他們帶來(lái)更多的“附加價(jià)值”。許多學(xué)生獲得高分?jǐn)?shù)，但什么能讓他們脫穎而出?我們認(rèn)為需要對(duì)孩子進(jìn)行全方位培養(yǎng)，因此我們將學(xué)生特質(zhì)這些內(nèi)容落實(shí)到位，以幫助他們?cè)谝院蟮纳钪腥〉贸晒Α?/p>

　　Our Guiding Statements are the foundation of all we do at SOIS. I have often talked about our Vision to ‘Educate, Nurture, Inspire Excellence’. This year I would like to inform our community about the Traits we are developing in our students. As students go further in their education, schools, colleges and Universities are looking for the ‘valued added’ a candidate brings to their institution. Many students will gain high grades, but what makes them stand out from others? We believe in educating the whole child and thus have put in place student traits that will help them be successful later in life.
