Executive Principal of THIS Wenping Li delivered the opening speech. She extended her congratulations to the 48 graduates who have successfully completed high school and received their dream offers. And she expressed her thanks to the teachers and parents. She also said “I think that if a person can shoulder and balance the following four responsibilities, then his life is ideal and happy. That is, the responsibility for oneself, the responsibility for the family, the responsibility for work, the responsibility for the society and country.” She then encouraged the graduates to always have the Tsinghua spirit of “continuous self-improvement and strong ethics”, have the international vision and mind of “combining Chinese and Western elements, embracing diversity”, and have the courage to assume responsibility. In the era of globalization, shoulder the responsibilities entrusted by the era and become a person who changes the world!

今年,国际部首次邀请往届校友返校进行主旨演讲。2013届校友俞之瀚深刻又有趣的演讲鼓舞了在场的每一位家长和毕业生们,让大家看到了国际部中西合璧教育理念下培养出的学生是多么的优秀。又因为是“自己家的”学长的肺腑之言,也让在座的学弟学妹们聆听地格外认真。生于海外的俞之瀚,认为在THIS的学习和经历让他找到了根,真正把他塑造成了有中国心的世界人。在THIS培养的跨文化交流、分享能力,使得他能在大学及社会上与不同背景的人更好地沟通、合作,并能真正用自己的行动回馈社会。他感谢THIS大家庭给予他的很多支持和帮助,并鼓励毕业生们要找到自己的长期目标,保持中国心,在世界的舞台上为中国发声。

Student Speakers
学生代表发言


毕业生代表梁颖欣,高仪雯和郭家杉先后用中文、英文发表演讲,展现了我校学生极高的双母语水平。梁颖欣分享了自己选课的“趣事”:九年级结束时,她为自己终于逃离了几门极其严厉的老师的课而松了一口气,但反而在后来又加入了他们的选修课和社团,这样的“反转”是因为她真的可以从这些老师们身上学到太多!除了教科书上的知识,甚至还有他们的人生经验。高仪雯举出很多她所在班级互帮互助的事例,正是这些让她明白了友谊到底是什么,也学会了去爱。郭家杉表示,学校在短短几年中为同学们创造了一个家,给予了大家深刻而丰富的生命体验。三位同学都感谢国际部提供了多元文化的环境,使他们有了更广阔的视野、更好的时间管理能力,成长为了更好的人。演讲结束后,所有毕业生上台将自己的心愿投入到了2020届毕业生的许愿箱中。

The student representatives Vanessa Leong, Leni Gao and Everest Guo delivered speeches in Chinese and English successively. Vanessa said “I have learned so much from our teachers. Not just the knowledge inside of textbooks, but through class discussions and the experiences they have.” Leni said “For 12 Lavender is more than just learning about friendship, but we also learned to love.” Everest said “for the atoms within us will forever be a part of man, and we will forever be a part of THIS.” And they are all grateful for the education of THIS, which enables them to become better – better learners, better time managers, and better humans. After the speech, all the graduates placed their wishes into the wish-box.

Parent Speaker
家长代表发言

毕业生葛芷清的父亲葛文达先生作为家长代表致辞。他分享了女儿在国际部从小学六年级到高中毕业这七年间的成长和蜕变。初中时,老师各种新奇的教学内容和教学方式点燃了女儿的求知欲和广泛的兴趣点;高中时,高强度的学习没有压垮她,反而提高了她的时间管理能力、多线条工作能力和抗压能力;学校丰富多彩的俱乐部活动更是对女儿学习生涯的一种延伸,帮她逐渐找到自己人生的大方向和内心热衷的事业。正是在THIS,让葛芷清同学自信满满、富有责任心。他感谢一路帮助孩子成长的国际部老师们,并鼓励毕业生们在人生的旅途中,要保持纯真,自强自信,志存高远!

Then the father of Senior Alice Ge, Mr. Mec Kot addressed this assembly as the parent representative. Mr. Kot shared his daughter’s growth and transformation during the seven years in THIS from sixth grade. In middle school, teachers’ various novel teaching contents and teaching methods ignited her daughter’s curiosity and wide interests. In high school, her daughter becomes much better at time management, multi-tasking, and working under pressure. And the extracurricular and club activities in high school are certainly an extension of her daughter’s learning. While affirming the teaching mode of THIS, he also thanked the teachers who helped the students grow up all the way. He further pointed out that students should keep kindness and ambition in the journey of life, pursue their own goals and leave no regrets.
