On February 15, all staff returned to school. The school took the theme of the Winter Olympic Games 2022 "together to the future" as the main direction of work in the coming year. At the same time, based on the current epidemic situation, the teachers made a series of preparations to welcome our students back to school.

2. 新政策 更新实施/Revision & Implementation of New Policies

晚自习条例/Evening Study Policy：

根据上学期学生、家长意见，本学期，晚自习政策在这些意见的基础上进行调整。 

IBDP的学生晚自习于总校进行；

中学部学生晚自习于安驰路校区进行；

晚自习以学生自治为主，老师监管为辅，共建文明、积极的学习环境。

According to the opinions of students and parents last semester, the Evening Study policy will be adjusted this  semester. 

IBDP students study in the Nanande Road campus; 

G9 and G10 students study in Anchi Road Campus; 

Student autonomy, supplemented by teacher's supervision, hopes to build a civilized and positive evening self-study environment.

作业政策/Homework Policy：

为督促学生及时完成作业及增进学生作业质量，校办在与学校家委会成员、学生会成员共同商议后，制定更新了作业政策，明确学生责任、教师责任、作业完成的奖惩制度、家校沟通及互助支持。

In order to urge students to complete their homework and improve the quality of students' homework, the Principal Office has formulated and updated the homework policy after consultation with members of the Parents Teachers Association and HSSA, clarifying students' responsibility, the reward and punishment system for homework, teachers' responsibility, parents-school communication and mutual support.

3. 旧物换新颜 — 储物柜/Replacement of Lockers：

本学期起，高中部所有学生个人储物柜调整为电子智能储物柜，所有学生一人一柜，柜子的使用与指定学生的学生卡和人像挂钩，令使用更加安全、便捷化。

From this semester, the individual lockers of all students have been adjusted to electronic intelligent lockers and one for each student. The use of lockers depends on students' school card / face recognition, and the use of student lockers is safer and more convenient now.

4. 开学第一天/Semester Begins：

2月17日，同学们纷纷返校开始了新学期第一天的学习生活。 班主任们在主题班会上与同学们分享了本学期各项新规定。开学典礼上，学校颁出了各学科优秀学生奖项、House及CAS奖项。 优秀学生代表——G10C陈泽子给同学们分享了她的学习经历与学习方法。

On February 17, the students returned to school and began their study of the new semester. The homeroom teachers shared the new regulations of this semester with the students at the theme class meeting. At the opening ceremony, the school presented Outstanding Student Awards in various Subjects, Houses and CAS Awards. Outstanding student representative - G10C Princess Chen shared her learning experience and learning methods with other students.

陈泽子讲话原文/Here is the draft of Princess’s speech：

To make full use of the power of accumulation, from my on perspective, is the key to learning well. On the one hand, accumulation is a good helper when it is employed rightly. To begin with, hard work pays off as nothing you've done will be wasted. Even if the effect couldn't be seen right now, still it'll surely appear sometime later or somewhere else. For instance, I've taken debate lessons for two years and a half. I always devote myself into preparing evidence for my arguments whenever there's a tournament. I spent weeks reading the essays on Google scholar and revising my script. Unfortunately, I have never won any prizes despite my devotion. I was even defeated by some sixth graders. I used to believe that all of my hard work on debate was wasted. Nevertheless, later I find that I'm not afraid of TOEFL reading at all as I've already read a number of articles identical in style. I'm also not scared of the CTW homework because I know how to organize a writing logically. Even though I never see any hope in debate, still I don't regret insisting on it because it trained my reading and writing without noticing.

Apart from this, learning method could be adjusted through accumulating experience. By analyzing the problems appeared when learning a specific subject, I could find some measure to solve it according to my past experience. I never did any revision on science subjects after class except for the mid term or final exam when I was in grade nine. Such bad habit didn't cause any bad effect at that time  because the content of grade nine was relatively little and easy. However,  problems started to appear when I entered grade ten. I found that I  sometimes couldn't answer the teacher's questions on the content of the  previous class fluently. That worried me a lot. I realized that revision after  every class is necessary. I also used to do all my business homework on  the last night before the deadline which made me fatigue. I decided that I must exacerbate procrastination as it is not only inefficient but also  exhausting. Surprisingly, I discovered that when I'm avoiding doing  homework, the psychological burden is very heavy but once I start doing  it, it will naturally become easier because of unknown reasons. On the other hand, accumulation could be disastrous if applied wrongly.  Not only knowledge and experience could be accumulated,  incomprehension could also be piled up. When that happens, it would be  a irreversible trauma on learning. I missed one of the points on reciprocal  functions in one maths class last semester. I immediately found that I  couldn't answer all the questions on my homework that day. I haven't  realized the severity of the problem at that time yet. I was alarmed on the  second day to find out that I couldn't understand the nest lesson because  it was strongly related with the previous one. It was lucky that the teacher  explained the homework of the last class, so I didn't fall behind  completely. I could imagine that if I didn't solve this problem, there would  be more and more things I don't understand. It will roll bigger and bigger  like a snowball and finally crush me. Always listen to the teacher  as carefully as you can to avoid after class anxiety. These are only my subjective views on learning. Everyone  has his optimal method and I hope you all can find it soon.    

5. 商科竞赛获奖/Excellent Performance in Business Competitions：

10年级、11年级7位同学参加了商业全能挑战赛，并取得了中国初选站团队银奖和铜奖，期待同学们接下来更多的好成绩。

7 students in G10 and G11 participated in the Business Professionals of America and achieved good results —— the Team Silver Award and Team Bronze Award of Chinese Primary. We look forward to more good results in the future.

继去年的大丰收后，IBDP优秀学生邱楚婷再获佳绩，成功在国际经济学奥林匹克竞赛区域选拔赛脱颖而出，晋级下一阶段的比赛，让我们期待她的好消息。

The model student Tina Qiu from IBDP was successfully promoted in the International Economics Olympic. She will continue her journey in this competition. Let us expect her further progress.

6. 12年级申请更新 新学期安排/Renew of G12 Application and the Arrangement this semester：

过去一学期，12年级同学们取得了80余份Offer，主要申请的国家、地区有：美国、英国、加拿大、香港等。 

同时，学校也给高同学详讲了最后一个学期的各项安排：IBDP & A-level大考的准备，IBDP各项coursework的提交要求和注意事项。毕业班老师和学生将以饱满的状态迎接新的学期，相信每位学生都能达成最终的目标，成就自己。

In the past semester, students in G12 obtained more than 80 offers, mainly from the USA, the UK, Canada, Hong Kong and other countries and regions. 

At the same time, the school also explained the arrangements of this semester to the these students in detail: the preparation of IBDP & A-level test, the submission requirements and precautions of IBDP coursework. The teachers and students of the graduating class will welcome the new semester with full state. We believe that each student can achieve their setting goals.

7. 学院集会/House Assembly：

放假至今已有月余，同学们再次以学院的形式，聚集一起，讲述愉悦的假期以及对未来的期许；老师们也分享了诸多学习、复习经验给到学生们。

It has been nearly  a month since the holiday. This house assembly brings the students together to talk about the pleasant holiday and expectations for the future. Teachers in each houses also shared their useful ways of studying and reviewing for the students.
