你好，新同学！小学部和中学部的新同学们来到国际部的第一个环节就是签到，招生老师们在国际部崭新、敞亮的接待大厅里翘首以盼同学们的到来。除了签到、领取学生卡、查看班级等，同学们还各自在新生家庭树上按上指印，签上自己的名字，共同组成了2023-24学年的新生大家庭；新生们还将彩砂倒入流沙瓶，寓意着一个个小同学们犹如五彩斑斓的一粒粒沙流入了国际部的海洋中，相融相合，不分你我，共同乘风破浪，追逐梦想！

欢迎学生和家长
小学各班由班主任和助教带领，家长、学生一起和老师完成破冰游戏，从而让各位同学及家长快速熟络。老师们还详细地介绍了学校日常的各项规定，例如校服穿着要求以及必须说英文的语言要求等。破冰游戏与校规的介绍环节都采取了小组讨论或者圆桌会议的方式，这种平等讨论的方式将“尊重包容”、“团结合作”与“探索创新”的国际部核心价值观贯彻到游戏和活动当中，寓教于乐。

新生家长Orientation
随后，小学的新生家长们移步到B座，参加了由小学部主任Mrs. R和副主任Ms. Helen Luo主持召开的家长见面会。Mrs. R向家长们介绍了小学部的概况、课程设置、对学生的期望与要求，让家长全方位地了解学生在学校学习和生活的方方面面。Mrs. R特地指出，国际部教育的特色之一是学生有很多自由阅读的时间，教师大部分时间将采用与学生合作和讨论的方式进行教学，我们期望看到“进步”大于“完美”，在没有排名制度的情况下，希望学生的目标是去成为最好的自己，做身心健康的小学生。
小学语文老师李京京向家长们介绍了中文课程的学习，她提到，国际部的语文教学和英文同样重要。秉承着双母语培养的目标，国际部的小学生每天都有一节中文课。我们如何在有限的课时里保证学生的中文达到母语水平？秘诀就在于我们选择经典、重点内容来教授，挖掘大语文背后的文化，注重学生持久理解力和语文综合素养的培养。
最后，小学部家长代表王卫先生向新生家长们分享他的心路历程，他表示非常理解新生家长对于未知的焦虑和紧张，希望家长们可以充分相信学校，利用好家委会等各种家校沟通渠道，让家校紧密链接，共同为孩子的成长保驾护航。
与中学部主任见面
在与中学部主任的见面会中，Mr. Scott Pare与新生们分享中学部学习生活的构成部分和注意事项，向同学们介绍学生手册中的重要内容，针对校服穿着、学术诚信、电子设备的使用和校园内必须说英语等规定进行了解读和强调。Mr. Pare鼓励中学的新同学们时说道，新的学期是一个全新的开始，希望同学们为自己设定新的目标，学会与同伴之间相互合作、相互帮助和支持，不断超越自己。
中学部的心理辅导老师Ms. Laura Zhang也表示对新同学们的欢迎。Ms. Zhang的工作目标是支持每一个中学生的身心健康与良好表现，她将竭尽全力为孩子们提供一个安全与舒适的空间，永远会敞开心扉，做一个真诚的倾听者、关心者、陪伴者和辅助者。
升学指导老师Ms. Amy Zou欢迎中学生们随时敲开升学指导老师的门来向他们咨询，他们将为学生和家长提供丰富的升学指导服务，支持每一个高中生的大学申请，帮助他们实现充实而富有意义的理想生活。
学生活动协调员Ms. Joy Zhou向新生们介绍了国际部多种多样的俱乐部和课外活动，体育的、艺术的、科技的、数学的……还有国内外的游学项目、交换项目和竞赛等项目。同学们听到自己感兴趣的社团和活动都兴奋不已，蠢蠢欲动地想要加入，在新学期大展身手！

August 30th was the new students and parents’ orientation day for the 2023-24 school year of Tsinghua International School. As the early fall has arrived with a gentle breeze and mild sunshine, the new students, and parents of the Primary and Secondary Schools walked into THIS for the first time to see their long-awaited peers and teachers, as well as the beautifully refreshed campus! Primary and secondary division staff prepared different orientation training and activities for the new students. After the training, they all spent a fulfilling and wonderful day in THIS and got to know their peers and teachers.
The first step for the new students of primary and secondary schools was to sign in, and the admissions staff were eagerly awaiting their arrival in the brand new and bright reception hall of THIS. In addition to signing in, receiving student cards, checking out homerooms, etc., students also pressed their fingerprints and signed their names on the new student family tree, forming the new student family for the 2023-24 school year. New students also poured colored sand into the colorful “sea”, signifying that one by one, they are like colorful grains of sand flowing into the ocean of the THIS family, blending and merging with each other and together riding the waves and chasing after their dreams！

Welcome Students& Parents
Primary students and parents’ orientation was led by homeroom teachers and teaching assistants, with an icebreaking game that allowed students, parents, and teachers to get acquainted quickly. Teachers also introduced the school rules in detail, such as the uniform requirement and the language requirement of speaking English. Both the icebreaking game and the introduction of the school rules were conducted in small groups or in round tables. This equal discussion method emphasizes the core values of “Respect”, ” Collaboration” and “Innovation” that we implemented into the games and activities in a fun and educational way.

Parents Orientation
Afterwards, the parents of the new students from the Primary School moved to B building and attended the Parents’ Meeting hosted by Mrs. R, Director of the Primary School, and Ms. Helen Luo, Associate Director of the Primary School, who introduced the overview of the Primary School, the curriculum, and the expectations of the students, so as to let the parents have a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the students’ learning and life in the school. One of the characteristics of teaching in THIS is that students have a lot of free time to read; teachers will spend most of their time teaching in a collaborative and discussion way with students; we expect to see “progress” more than “perfection”, and without ranking students, we hope that students will aim to become the best version of themselves. In the absence of a ranking system, students are expected to aim to become the best version of themselves and to be physically and mentally healthy students.
Primary Language Teacher, Jingjing Li, introduced parents to the Chinese language program, mentioning that Chinese program is just as important as English. With the goal of dual-language development, primary students have one Chinese lesson every day. How do we ensure that our students’ Chinese is at native level in the limited class time available? The secret lies in the fact that we choose classical and key content to teach, dig into the culture behind the language, and focus on the development of students’ lasting comprehension and comprehensive language literacy.
Finally, Mr. Wang Wei, the parent representative, shared his heartfelt experience with the parents of the new students. He expressed that he understands very well the anxiety and nervousness of the new students’ parents about the unknown and hoped that the parents can fully trust the school, and make use of the various communication channels between home and school such as the Parent Council, so that the home and school can be closely connected and work together to support the growth of their children.
Meeting with Director
During the meeting with the Director of Secondary School, Mr. Scott Pare shared with the new students the secondary school life, introduced the students to the student handbook, explained and emphasized on the rules concerning the school uniform, academic integrity, the use of electronic devices and the English policy on campus, etc. Mr. Pare encouraged the new students saying that a new semester is a fresh start and hopefully students set new goals for themselves, learn to cooperate with peers, help and support each other to continue to surpass themselves.
Ms. Laura Zhang, the secondary counselor, also welcomed the new students and said that her goal is to support the wellbeing and success of every student, and that she will do her best to provide a safe and comfortable space for students, and she will always have a heart to listen, care and support them.
Ms. Amy Zou, College Counselor Coordinator, welcomed the middle school students to knock on her office door anytime to talk with them. The college counseling department will provide students and parents with a wealth of college guidance services to support every high school student’s college application and help them realize their ideal life in a full and meaningful way.
Ms. Joy Zhou, Student Activities Coordinator, introduced the wide variety of clubs and extracurricular activities, sports, and competitions available at THIS. There are also domestic and international study tours, exchange programs, and competitions, among other programs. Students were so excited to hear about the clubs and activities they were interested in and were eager to join them for the new semester!
Homeroom Meeting
After the new student training, students met with their homeroom teachers and classmates to learn about the activities and rules of the class. Teachers also prepared different fun activities to let students introduce themselves to each other. With the sound of laughter, students’ friendship between peers is slowly sprouting.
