2024年11月15日，佛山霍利斯社区成员再度欢聚共同庆祝了2024年校庆日！整座校园充满欢声笑语和蓬勃活力，学生们积极参与精彩刺激的体育运动趣味赛和充满创意的学院音乐竞赛，展示他们的才华和团队协作精神。

校长 Mrs Arden 在庆典上发表演讲：

体育部门将整个运动场精心布置成一个充满欢乐与刺激的冒险乐园。一系列好玩有趣的活动让学生们尽情参加，并给他们带来一些体能和智力上的小挑战，例如有穿越神秘的巨型迷宫、海绵接水接力赛、盲行挑战的信任测试，以及障碍接力赛等。每项活动都不仅带来了无限乐趣，还在无形中鼓励了学院内部的团队协作精神和良性竞争的理念。

伴随着欢笑声和喝彩声的此起彼伏，运动场的热烈氛围让所有人感受到无与伦比的欢乐与激情。这些游戏不仅点燃了孩子们的活力，也加深了学院成员之间的友谊与默契。

在学院音乐比赛的舞台上，预备部和中学部的四个学院轮番登台，呈现了创意十足的音乐盛宴。预备部的各学院朝气蓬勃，热情演绎了 Tones and I 的《Dance Monkey》，而中学部的四个学院则对 Lorde 的《Royals》进行了富有巧思的全新诠释。

学生们大胆创新，将这两首流行歌曲与充满活力的舞蹈动作相结合，带来了既引人入胜又充满想象力的表演。这些精彩的创意作品不仅让观众耳目一新，也进一步增强了学院的凝聚力与自豪感。音乐的律动与观众的掌声交织在一起，成为当日最动人的回忆之一。

当夕阳渐渐西沉，为这一天的欢笑与热情画上句号时，我们所有社区成员齐聚一堂，举行了一场简单、温暖而真挚的闭幕庆典，并庆祝每个学院在今天各项比赛中获得的成绩。这天是对佛山霍利斯学院精神的一次深刻诠释，无论是组织和参与活动的师生们，还是前来为孩子打气的家长们，校庆日这天将大家紧紧连结在一起，并为彼此感到骄傲。

我们非常荣幸今年再度迎来英国霍利斯学校前任校长（2014-2023年）Mrs Hanbury。她在去年曾参加过我们的首届校庆日活动，此次再度回归，她不禁感叹学校的迅速蓬勃发展。她说道：

2024年佛山霍利斯校庆日活动在浓厚的团结与欢乐氛围中圆满落幕。回顾这难忘的一天，我们深刻体会到凝聚力的力量，以及这个充满支持和活力的社区环境所带来的喜悦欢乐。怀揣着满满的精神动力与对未来的期待，我们已经迫不及待地迎接下一年的校庆日了！

On 15 November 2024, the entire LEH Foshan community came alive with vibrant energy to celebrate Founder’s Day 2024. The campus was transformed into a hub of activity, showcasing the talents and collaborative spirit of our Houses through enthusiastic competitions in sports and music.

Headteacher Mrs Arden addressed the ceremony with inspiring words:

Our PE department transformed the sports field into an exciting playground of adventure and teamwork. They introduced a captivating array of games that challenged both mind and body: navigating through a maze, racing in the sponge relay, trusting peers in the blind trail, overcoming challenges in the obstacle relay, and more. Each activity was designed not only for enjoyment but also to encourage teamwork within the Houses and healthy competitions. The laughter and cheers that echoed across the fields were a testament to the joy these games inspired.

In the House Music Competition, the four Houses from both the Prep and Secondary schools took the stage with creative musical performances. The Prep School Houses infused youthful energy into their renditions of "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I, while the Secondary School Houses offered unique interpretations of "Royals" by Lorde. Students showcased their creativity by blending these popular songs with dynamic dance movements, delivering performances that were both engaging and innovative. These efforts not only captivated the audience but also strengthened the bonds and spirit of each House.

As the sun began to set, marking the culmination of a day filled with joy and camaraderie, the school community gathered for a heartfelt closing ceremony. The event celebrated not just the House achievements of the day but the House spirit that had been strengthened among students, staff, and families.

We were especially delighted to welcome back Mrs Hanbury, former Head Mistress at LEH London (2014–2023), to our vibrant campus. Having attended our inaugural Founder’s Day in 2023, Mrs Hanbury expressed her joy at witnessing the school’s growth and spirit. She remarked, 

The Founder’s Day 2024 concluded with a resounding sense of unity and optimism. As we reflect on this unforgettable day, we are reminded of the strength found in unity and the joy that comes from being part of a supportive and thriving community. With hearts full of inspiration and minds set on the future, we eagerly anticipate next year’s Founder’s Day already!
