IGCSE Awards Ceremony Honours Students 颁奖礼嘉奖学生

Last week at Yew Chung International School of Beijing, Year 12 students were honoured for the completion of their International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) coursework during the previous two years. Coordinated by current Years 9-11 students, the auditorium was packed for an IGCSE Awards Ceremony featuring student performances, speeches, and awards presentations.

上周，北京耀中国际学校举办了国际普通中等教育证书课程（IGCSE）颁奖礼，嘉奖十二年级学生通过两年的刻苦学习、顺利获得课程结业。此次颁奖礼由目前的九至十一年级学生准备。现场的表演、演讲 以及颁奖仪式都充分地显示了学生们筹备活动的用心和精心。

Below, YCIS Beijing IGCSE Coordinator Lianne Yu shares more about the reasoning behind holding the event, as well as how this and other instances of positive reinforcement help to motivate students towards achieving top results.

下面IGCSE课程主管Lianne Yu老师将和大家分享举办此次颁奖礼的原因，以及这个颁奖礼和正向的榜样如何激励学生为取得优异成绩而努力。

The Value of a Ceremony

颁奖礼的价值

The IGCSE Awards Ceremony actually doesn’t need to happen. But teachers decided to do it in order to honour and highlight the conclusion to students’ work during the IGCSE Programme. After completing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), students have a graduation ceremony and move on from YCIS Beijing. Yet when they finish the IGCSE Programme, even though they’ve not completed their Secondary education, they’ve still completed a programme. We wanted to celebrate that.

其实，我们并不一定需要举办IGCSE颁奖礼。但是，老师决定要去举办这个颁奖礼，是想通过这个颁奖礼去呈现学生们在这个课程中所作的努力以及嘉奖同学们所取得的成绩。在国际文凭课程（IBDP）结束后，我们也会举办一个毕业典礼，庆祝学生从这里走向世界。尽管目前，他们仅仅完成了IGCSE课程，他们还没有完成整个中学教育，还需要上IBDP。但是，我们更觉得有必要庆祝这一个阶段学业的胜利，并激励他们。
