在这个阳光灿烂的六月末，国王学校迎来了年度盛事——国王周！从学术的深度探索到艺术的热情演绎，从科技的创新实践到体育的激情竞技，学生们尽情展现出属于他们的才华与创意。

我们追求的不仅仅是超凡的学术能力，更是在艺术、体育和创造力上的全面发展。我们鼓励学生们勇敢跳出课本框架，用双手去实践，用心灵去感受，用创意去表达，这也是国王周的精神体现。

戏剧梦工厂

戏剧是一扇窗，让我们得以窥见不同时代与故事的深邃与精彩。在国王周的戏剧舞台上，我们穿梭于不同时代与故事中。演员们化身为霍格沃茨的学生，他们不仅重现了《哈利·波特与密室》的神秘魔法世界，更带领我们踏上了一场充满古老秘密和勇敢冒险的奇幻之旅。

我们还跨越时空，来到王尔德笔下的维多利亚时代的伦敦。这里，机智与讽刺交织，优雅与幽默并存。学生们以精湛的演技和生动的对白，将上层社会的荒谬与虚伪展现得淋漓尽致，同时也让我们反思真诚与自我的重要性。

在莎士比亚的《第十二夜》中，我们更是见证了一个关于爱情、欺骗和身份错乱的复杂故事。学生们将角色的情感纠葛和心理变化演绎得细腻入微，让我们在笑声中体会到人性的复杂，感受到爱情的甜蜜与苦涩。

艺术的心跳

正如毕加索所言，“每个孩子都是天生的艺术家。” 每个学生的旅程都如同一幅幅独特的画卷，以他们自己的色彩和线条绘制出个性鲜明的故事。我们深知，被看见的力量是无穷的，每个人的努力和表达都值得被珍视、被认可、被尊重。国王周期间，校园里的每一寸土地、每一束灯光、每一声喝彩都汇聚成温暖的力量，照亮所有人展示自我的勇气。

音乐与舞蹈交织

歌声与琴声共鸣

我们的高中合唱团也受邀参加查尔斯三世76岁生日中国庆祝活动，他们的演出赢得了广泛赞誉，展示了国王学校音乐教育的卓越水平。

知识的火花

在国王校园的每个角落，创意和热情无处不在。自制投石机、手工“木筏”，这些作品不仅是科学原理与技术实践的结合，更是学生们无限创意思维的具体展现。在这里，每个学生都被赋予了将奇思妙想转化为现实的能力，他们也不断体验着从零到一的创造过程。

手工“木筏”

在学术成果展示环节，我们更是看到了全人教育的具体展现。从创作背景到意向描绘，我们从年轻音乐家们的原创歌曲中窥见了他们内心世界的丰富多彩，感受到了他们对音乐的热情和对艺术的深刻理解。

8年级学生们更是将复杂的生物学概念转化为易于理解的语言，用模型和图表生动地展示了人体的奥秘，带领我们深入了解人体血液循环系统、神经系统，以及呼吸系统的运作原理。

学术辩论赛中的敏锐洞察力，2年级学生所制作的火箭模型，10年级学生原创的反乌托邦短篇小说，也都充分展现了国王学子卓越的学术表现。

在国王学校的计算机课程中，思维与科技的碰撞激发起学生们无限的创造力。高中部学生们深入探索自动化系统，让智能小车实现了自动巡线和自动避障的功能，还搭建了一栋配备了各种智能家居的房屋模型。

自由戏水的快乐

夏天，怎么能少了戏水的快乐！这种尽情嬉戏的快乐，不仅是因为那份清凉，更因为那份无拘无束的自由，那份与伙伴们共享的欢乐时光。

在国王周的年度颁奖仪式上，我们共同回顾了学生们一年来的学习和成长，颁发了各类学术和人文关怀奖项，以表彰他们在各个领域中的卓越表现，为本学年画上了圆满的句号。

国王周，不仅是一个结束，更是一个新的开始。期待学生们在新的学年里，继续追求卓越，继续探索未知，继续创造可能！

During this sunny end to the month of June, our Qianhai campus became the site of our great annual celebration: King’s Week! From deep probes into academic topics to passionate interpretations of works of art, and from experiments with cutting-edge science to hotly-contested sporting competitions, our students went all out to flaunt their talent and creativity.

KSS’s Second Annual King’s Week

At KSS, we not only aim for outstanding academic achievements, we also encourage the comprehensive development of artistic talent, physical prowess, and creative thinking. We inspire courage in our students that takes them beyond what can be learnt from textbooks, so that they seize real-life opportunities with both hands, so that they are confident in feeling their emotions, and so that they dare to express their own ideas freely. That's the King's Week spirit.

Theatre is a window into the stories of different eras, offering us a glimpse into their most profound and wonderful moments, and it is precisely those moments that came to life on the King’s Week stage. In ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber ofSecrets’, our actors transfigured themselves into Hogwarts students, taking us on a journey through that mysterious and magical world and the fantastical ancient secrets and bold adventurers that characterise it.

Then we jumped forward in time to the Victorian London of Oscar Wilde, where wit and satire meet, and elegance and humour coexist. Through their superb acting skills and evocative dialogue, the students vividly illustrated the absurdities and hypocrisies of upper-class life, and caused us to reflect on the importance of being earnest and true to ourselves. 

Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’ is a complicated tale of love, deception, and mistaken identity. Our students skilfully portrayed their characters’ emotional entanglements and inner turmoil, allowing us to experience the complexity of life in between bursts of laughter, all the while tasting the sweetness and the bitterness of love.

As Picasso said, “every child is an artist.” The journey of each of our students is like a unique scroll painting, on which the colours and lines of their lives paint a distinctive and personal story. We are very cognisant of the inexhaustible effort that they have put into their education already, and we believe that their hard work and the beliefs they express are worthy of being cherished, being acknowledged, and being respected. 

Our Senior School choir was invited to perform at the birthday celebrations of King Charles III, where their performance won widespread praise, and where they displayed the excellent standard of musical education at KSS.

Passion and creativity can be found in every corner of our Qianhai campus. Things like the catapults that our students have made or their handmade rafts are not only the result of putting scientific principles into practice, they are also manifestations of our students’ infinite creativity of thought. At King’s, every child is given the ability to turn their whimsical ideas into reality, and gets to experience the creative process all the way from inception to completion.

When it comes to our students’ displaying their academic achievements, we emphasise concrete displays of whole-person education. From creating the setting to describing their intention, we can tell by their original compositions that our young musicians hold rich and diverse worlds within their souls, and that their passion for music and understanding of art run deep.

Our Grade 8 students have paraphrased complex biological concepts using simple language, and added models and diagrams to reveal the secrets of the human body, guiding us to greater understanding of the working principles of our cardiovascular system, nervous system, and respiratory system.

The outstanding academic abilities of our students were further evidenced by the keen insights of the debating competition, the model rockets built by our Grade 2 pupils, and the dystopian novels written by our Grade 10 students.

In the KSS computing skills curriculum, science and technology impact on our students’ thought processes to spark endless creativity. In Senior School, our students explored automated systems, programmed smart cars for automatic line following and obstacle avoidance, and built a model house equipped with a range of smart home appliances. 

Automated Systems Exhibition

Summer would not be complete without a pool party! What makes it so incredibly fun is not just the welcome coolness of the water, but also the unrestricted freedom and the shared joy that come with it.

We encourage all of our students to pluck up the courage to get up on stage. Whether it is to sing, dance, act, give a speech, or display their academic achievements, all forms of expression are worthy of praise and applause.

At the King’s Week annual awards ceremony, we join together to look back on the growth and learning that our students have done over the past year by handing out various academic and pastoral awards that commend them for their excellence in a certain field. This ceremony marks the perfect end to the school year. 

King’s Week is not just an end, it is a new beginning. In the new school year, we look forward to seeing our students continue their pursuit of excellence, their exploration of the unknown, and their creation of opportunity!
