歡迎大家來到新的學年。這是一年中令人期待萬分的時刻。歡迎大家回到學校，以及七年級和八年級的新學生。老師們在為你們的到來做準備，工作人員也在努力工作，為校園增添了很多精彩的內(nèi)容。一切準備就緒，期待順利開啟。
Welcome everyone to a new school year. It really is an exciting time of the year. We welcome our new students in year 7 and 8 and welcome back our students from last year. The teachers are preparing for your arrival and staff have been working hard with done wonderful additions to the grounds for students to enjoy. Everything looks polished and ready to go.
指導綱領(lǐng)是我們在SOIS所做一切的基礎。我們經(jīng)常談論學校的愿景是“教育、培養(yǎng)、啟迪”。今年，我想向大家介紹我們培養(yǎng)學生的特質(zhì)。隨著學生的進一步教育，高等院校都在尋找候選人能否給他們帶來更多的“附加價值”。許多學生獲得高分數(shù)，但什么能讓他們脫穎而出?我們認為需要對孩子進行全方位培養(yǎng)，因此我們將學生特質(zhì)這些內(nèi)容落實到位，以幫助他們在以后的生活中取得成功。
Our Guiding Statements are the foundation of all we do at SOIS. I have often talked about our Vision to ‘Educate, Nurture, Inspire Excellence’. This year I would like to inform our community about the Traits we are developing in our students. As students go further in their education, schools, colleges and Universities are looking for the ‘valued added’ a candidate brings to their institution. Many students will gain high grades, but what makes them stand out from others? We believe in educating the whole child and thus have put in place student traits that will help them be successful later in life.
