每周快讯| The Week Ahead
Paul Rogers 罗杰珀
总校长
惠灵顿杭州校区
下周我们将正式开启惠灵顿杭州校区的第三个学年。8月24日周一,杭州惠立幼儿园的学生将会回到学校。在8月26日周三,杭州惠立学校以及杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校全体学生都会正式回到学校,开始新学期的学习。
新学年我们整个校区会有超过1350名学生,在经历了过去几个月的动荡不安之后,他们都迫切希望能够回归正常的校园生活。我们的教职员工也是如此。我们都非常期待下周和学生们见面,一起合作,为能够在新学年取得显著的学业进步而努力。随着校园防疫政策的逐步放宽,我们能够有更多和家长面对面交流的机会,无论是通过家长信息交流会、咖啡晨会、开放日、家长代表会面,亦或是和个别家长在学校进行沟通和交流。
当我们的学生重新回到校园时,他们又会看到些什么呢?首先可能就是全新投入使用的设施设备以及校园环境的改善。杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校教学楼的建造进度在暑假有了质的飞跃,各项工程均如期推进,确保在下一学年正式投入使用。随着杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校学生人数的增长,它也会进一步提升惠灵顿杭州校区的整体实力。学生可能还会留意到操场上每个角落都有一个大型的室外泛光照明灯。令人感到自豪的是我们是惠灵顿(中国)教育集团旗下唯一一个拥有室外泛光照明灯的校区。这个设备能够让我们为学生组织安排更多晚间活动,同时也给惠灵顿课外课程学院提供了更多可能性。
学生还会注意到什么其他变化呢?或许最重要的就是加入我们的新教师了。虽然上学期末我们仅有少数几位老师离职去了其他学校,或者回到了他们自己的国家。但随着学校在读学生人数的增加以及高年级学生比例的增长,我们需要招聘更多专科教师。同时学校也一直希望能够进一步提升师生比例,因此在新学年我们很高兴迎来了一批经验丰富、教学能力出色、富有热情和上进心的新教师(以及非教学员工)。
通过这周的家长信息交流会,相信家长已经认识了其中部分教师。虽然我们仍有部分新教师还在海外尚未能回到中国,但很多新教师都已经顺利抵达杭州。相信在新的学年中,这些新鲜力量,比如表演艺术总监、舞蹈戏剧教研组组长和大学升学指导员等,会给学校带了许多积极的影响。
除此之外,我们还招聘了英语和中文辅导老师、特殊教育老师等,旨在进一步提升学生在校的幸福度。同时学校还新任命了各年级组长,他们会在新学年保持和家长的密切沟通,协调改善各个年级的各方面表现。我们还招聘了英语和中文辅导老师、特殊教育老师等,旨在进一步提升学生在校的幸福度。同时学校还新任命了各年级组长,他们会在新学年保持和家长的密切沟通,协调改善各个年级的各方面表现。
在学校领导层的提升方面,我们想在此正式欢迎Laura Perry女士出任杭州惠立学校新任初中部校长,接替她担任初中部副校长的人选信息后续会很快公布。
同样,我们也欢迎Philip Stainton先生正式成为杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校中学部副校长。
在我们即将迎来新学期和新学年之际,我对学校后续的发展和不断的提升感到无比兴奋和期待。毕竟,正如我一直所说的,没有一所学校是完美的。我们努力找到学校尚有不足可继续进步的地方,并采取相应的措施,以确保我们能够在适当的时候取得相应的进展。
预祝周末愉快。

校长
杭州市萧山区惠立学校
杭州惠立学校即将迎来第三学年。学校的全体工作人员都已提前回到了学校,为新学期紧锣密鼓地准备着。
工欲善其事必先利其器。暑假期间,我们的非教学团队对于教学楼进行了整体清洁消毒以及维修升级。小学楼设置了专门为低年级而设“迷你”图书馆;中学楼开启了新的楼层以供高年级学生使用。崭新的地毯,洁净的墙面,校园的每一处都以崭新的面貌迎接新学年的到来。
我们的教学团队基于年级和学科为单位进行了集体研讨和备课,除此之外还完成了校园安全、急救等多项培训项目。
与此同时,校外辅助课程以及惠灵顿杭州课外课程学院也将在新学年重新开启。经历了疫情的考验,我们方知能够回到正常的工作节奏是多么难得可贵的事情。在新的一年中,带着我们共同经历磨难的勇气,我相信惠立大家庭将能迎来更加成功的一个学年。
祝大家周末愉快,我们下周见!
Paul Rogers
Executive Master
Wellington College Hangzhou
Next week we begin our third academic year for all three schools within Wellington College Hangzhou (WCCH).
From Monday 24th August, all Nursery pupils will be entering Huili Nursery Hangzhou. And from Wednesday 26th August all our remaining pupils from within Huili School Hangzhou and Wellington College International will be on campus for the start of what proves to be a very important and exciting new academic year, with well over 1,350 eager and excited students keen to be back to normality after the upheavals of the past months. Needless to say that this is the same for school staff as well.
We all look forward to working with our students from next week and ensuring that they can make the maximum progress possible, be taught in the 'best' possible way and that as the COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease more and more, we have an opportunity to have greater face to face interaction with parents. Whether this be via Parent Information Sessions, Parent Coffee Mornings, Open Days, meetings with Parent Representatives or just simply meeting individual parents within the school setting.
What will our pupils see as they re-enter or indeed join school life here at WCCH? The first thing might be the improvements and ongoing developments to the physical campus and the continuation of projects that were already underway before and then during the long break. Our new Wellington International College Hangzhou (WCIH) school building continues to impressively take shape and is well on schedule for opening next academic year. As enrolment within WCIH continues to rise, this will naturally be a welcome and much needed addition to WCCH in general.
Our pupils may also notice as they walk towards the sports field the four huge floodlights rising imperiously at each corner of the pitch. It is quite a source of pride that we are the only campus within the Wellington College China group at this time to have such impressive equipment - which will enable us to take part in more evening activities for our own pupils as well as those joining Wellington Academy from this point onwards.
They may also see the new (and much needed) shading that is in the process of being erected along our main boulevard - and on top of that, no doubt 101 other improvements (from repainting of various parts of the interior of the school to the opening of new science labs, classrooms and offices) which the school staff have been working on tirelessly over the summer.
What else will they notice? Perhaps most importantly, new staff. Whilst only a relatively few teachers moved on to other schools, new experiences, or back to their home towns and countries at the end of last term; with increased enrolment and a move towards more specialised teaching as the pupils get older, as well as a clear focus to keep improving the teacher/staff ratios as we mature as a school, we have been delighted to hire a range of additional, experienced, skilled and highly motivated new academic (and non-academic) staff to the school teams. (In our meetings with parents during this past week, some will have been introduced - with parents having the chance to meet them during this time.)
Whilst there are some new staff who are still going through the process of getting into Hangzhou, many have already arrived and it will be a delight to see the influence of those staff over the rest of this year; such as our Director of Performing Arts, our Head of Dance/Drama, our University Guidance Officer and so many more, including the extra support we have hired for pastoral provision across the school which of course includes English and Chinese Support, Special Educational Needs and more besides.
This coming academic year, for the first time we also have Grade/Year leaders in each area of the school who will be able to impact and communicate with parents on a more regular basis as well as held drive improvements across each grade within the school. In terms of the increased leadership within the schools, we also officially welcome Ms. Laura Perry as the new Head of JH in Huili School Hangzhou and news on her replacement as Deputy Head will be shared very soon.
And we also welcome Mr. Philip Stainton officially as the Deputy Head Senior in Wellington College International Hangzhou.
As we approach the start of our new term and new academic year, I am extremely optimistic and full of excitement at the journey we have ahead of us and the prospect of continued improvements in all areas of the school. After all, as I have always said, no school is perfect. We therefore endeavour to recognise the areas in which we can progress and put in the required steps to ensure that the right progress can happen at the right time.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Helena Xin
Principal
Huili School Hangzhou
Huili School Hangzhou is stepping into its third academic year. All the staff have been back to the school in advance to prepare for the opening of the school.
To do a good job, one must first sharpen ones tools. During the summer, our non-academic team worked on the disinfection and maintenance of the whole building. A mini library was set up in the Primary building specially for the Primary pupils. A new floor was opened up in the Junior High building for the upper graders. New carpets, cleaner walls, everything in the school is being prepared for the new academic year with a brand new look.
During these past two weeks, our academic team organised group discussions and group planning on a grade and subject basis. Besides, a series of training regarding such things as safeguarding and first aid were conducted.
School Activities and Wellington Academy will begin once more in the new academic year. The test of the epidemic made us aware how valuable a normal routine is. In the new academic year, with the courage we gained together through this challenge, I believe the Huili community will have a very successful year.
