5月18日，菲律宾中正学院 30 余名教师和校董参访华双校园，互赠代表友谊的校旗，与华双洽谈结成姐妹学校事宜。“菲律宾中正中学”由王泉笙、杨启泰等菲律宾华侨领袖在马尼拉于 1939 年创立，最初提供六年制中文课程和四年制英文课程。1968 年增设小学部，成为覆盖幼儿园至大学的完整教育体系。2009 年获中国国务院侨办评定为首批 “海外华文教育示范学校”，2023 年成为菲律宾仅有的三所提供完整国际文凭课程连续课程（PYP、MYP、DP）世界学校之一，现有学生 3000 多人。学校在菲华社区中享有盛誉，被誉为当地华社的“最高学府”，中国驻菲律宾大使也曾多次访问该校并对其在传播中文与中华文化方面的贡献给予高度评价。在这所历经时代之变的学校身上，我们看到了经历战火的坚毅，多元包容的文化，不断迭代的课程体系，和对中华文化的友好和尊重，期待两校能相互学习，架起友谊和交流的桥梁。

More than 30 teachers and board members from Chiang Kai-shek College in the Philippines visited the SABS campus, where we exchanged school flags as a symbol of friendship and discussed establishing a sister-school relationship with SABS. Chiang Kai-shek College was founded in Manila in 1939 by overseas Chinese leaders such as Wang Quansheng and Yang

Qitai, initially offering a six-year Chinese curriculum and a four-year English curriculum. In 1968, a primary school was added, establishing a comprehensive educational system spanning from kindergarten to university. In 2009, it was designated by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of China as one of the first “Model Schools for Overseas Chinese Language Education”. In 2023, it became one of only three World Schools in the Philippines to offer the

full IB programmes, including PYP, MYP, and DP. The school currently has over 3,000 students. The school enjoys a distinguished reputation within the Chinese community in the Philippines and is hailed as the ‘premier institution of learning’ for the local Chinese community. The Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines has visited the school on numerous occasions and has spoken highly of its contributions to promoting the Chinese language and culture. In this school, which has weathered the changes of time, we see resilience forged through the fires of war, a culture of diversity and inclusivity, a continuously evolving curriculum, and a spirit of friendship and respect for Chinese culture. We look forward to both schools learning from one another and building a bridge of friendship and exchange.
