Good morning, parents, teachers, and student,

Thank you for joining us this morning. It’s heartening to see so many familiar faces and to welcome new ones. As the academic principal of Yinghua Academy, it is my pleasure to engage with you and discuss the exciting journey our students have been undertaking so far this year.

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for your unwavering support and involvement in our school community. Education is a partnership, and your presence here exemplifies your commitment to your children’s success.

Although I am a newly positioned academic principal, I have been working at Yinghua since its establishment. Despite knowing Yinghua for more than seven years, I would still question myself: “Our campus is not as fancy as our competitors’. Our academic track records are not as impressive. So, what makes Yinghua stand out?” Eventually, I got the answer from my student Antwoine. Antwoine had only been transferred to Yinghua from another international school last August. In a recent conversation with him, he was very appreciative about what Yinghua had been providing for him including the amount of attention he got from our teachers which was something he never had in his previous school due to his low-ranking status. In Yinghua, regardless a student’s academic performance or characters, we do not discriminate and we always try our best to deliver our education and services to each student to the highest standard even with limited resources.  

In order to further improve our teaching standards and student performance, this year, we emphasize on the notion of "Growing Together." We are focused on not just academic excellence but on cultivating a nurturing environment where both our students and faculty members can thrive socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Our dedicated teachers and staff have been working hard on developing innovative programmes that foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

We are excited to introduce several new and revival initiatives, including the Elite programme, the World Education Learning Community (WELC), International Academic competitions, and career exploring events. These activities are designed to prepare our students and teachers for the challenges of tomorrow while nurturing their individual passions and interests.

I also want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of communication. We are committed to keeping you informed and engaged through regular updates via social media and instant message groups. Please ensure your check your social media groups on a daily basis so you don’t miss out on any important events.

Lastly, I encourage each of you to take this opportunity to have in-depth conversation with our teachers later, especially focus on the performance and attitude of your children at school. Your involvement makes a significant difference in our school culture and your child's experience.

Thank you once again for your commitment to our school and our students. Together, let us continue to foster an environment that empowers and inspires our children. I look forward to working with each of you this year.

Thank you!

各位家长、老师、同学们早上好：

感谢各位今天参加我们的期中家长会。很高兴看到这么多熟悉的脸孔，同时也欢迎这学期新加入的学生和家长。作为英华的学术校长，我很荣幸与大家共同交流我们本学年到目前为止的学业经历及校园生活。

首先，我要向各位家长积极参与学校活动以及对我们教育工作的大力支持表示衷心的感谢。教育是一种伙伴关系，您的到来体现了您对孩子教育的关心及重视。

自英华建校以来我一直在英华工作，跟随着学校共同成长。我经常会问自己：“我们没有豪华的校园，也没有优异的学术成绩。那么，是什么让英华脱颖而出，能得到诸多学生和家长的青睐和认可呢？”近期，我从我的学生Anthoine那里得到了答案。Anthoine由于成绩不是十分优秀，在之前的国际学校不受重视，去年8月决定转入英华。在最近与他的一次谈话中，他非常感激英华为他提供的一切，尤其是老师们对他的关注和关心。在英华，无论学生的成绩优秀与否，表现如何，我们都一视同仁，即使在资源有限的情况下，我们也会尽心尽责为每个学生提供最好的教育服务！

为了进一步提升我们的教学水平，提高学生的学术成绩和综合能力，今年我们强调“共同成长”的理念。我们不仅注重学术卓越，还注重营造一个培育环境，全体教育工作人员以培养学生的批判性思维、创造力和协作能力为目标，一直致力于开发创新项目，让广大师生能够在社交、情感和智力上不断发展、不断成长。

我们很高兴推出多项新的和再启动的举措，包括精英计划、世界教育学习社区（WELC）、国际学术竞赛、生涯规划等。这些活动旨在提升我们师生的个人综合能力，培养广泛的兴趣爱好，为迎接未来的挑战打下坚实的基础。与此同时，我想强调沟通的重要性。我们不定时地通过社交媒体和即时消息的更新，给您展示我们的校园生活，并欢迎您参与其中。请确保每天关注您的社交媒体群组，以免错过任何重要信息和活动。

最后，我鼓励大家能借此机会与我们的老师进行深入的交谈，特别是关注孩子在学校的表现和学业。您的积极参与是对孩子最好的鼓舞，也是对我们教育工作的最大肯定。让我们携手并肩，为我们孩子未来的成功保驾护航。愿我们同心同德，办好教育，不负重托，不负韶华！

谢谢！
