新的开始

A NEW BEGINNING

我怀着既不舍又兴奋的心情书写关于城市绿洲学校下一学年开始的变化。我觉得自己很幸运，能在学校如此充满活力的时期工作。在过去的19年里，学校不断成长和变化，才有了今天的成就，成为一所通过国际学校联盟认证的融合双语课程的学校。当我初到之时就决定把重点放在学校的指导纲领上。现在，这些已经融入到我们所有的工作中。我们还加强了对高品质教学的投入。学校将继续努力精益求精，我们的目的是确保为所有的学生提供最好的机会。

It is with a mixture of sadness and excitement that I write to you regarding the changes to Green Oasis School beginning next academic year. I feel so fortunate to have been at GOS during such a vibrant time. GOS has grown and changed over the last 19 years to reach where we are today, a fully Accredited Council of International School, with an English Curriculum that also values the Chinese language and culture. When I first arrived we made the decision to focus on our Guiding Statements. These are now embedded in all we do. We have also strengthened our commitment to high quality teaching and learning. We continue to strive to do better and our aim is to ensure all our students are given the best opportunities in all we do.

今年是城市绿洲学校迎来变化的一年，我们已经告别了最后一批IGCSE学生。我们将把九、十年级的学生交给深国交，他们可以尽全力在学术之路上探索，做到最好。城市绿洲学校全体成员在此祝愿他们一切顺利，并欢迎他们回来讲述他们的精彩经历。

This year is a year of change for Green Oasis School. We have waved farewell to our last cohort of IGCSE students. We are handing our Year 10 and 9s to SCIE so they can continue to strive to be the best they can in all they do. The GOS community would like to wish them all the best and remember all our students are invited to return to tell us about their wonderful adventures.

这个激动人心的变化已筹备了一段时间，虽然很不舍得看到学生们离开，但我们知道他们将在充满活力的新环境中安顿下来，在老师的带领下继续他们的高中旅程，迎来挑战并确保他们发挥自己的潜力。好的一方面是，我们学校的IGCSE老师将加入深国交，所以这些学生和教职员中会有彼此熟悉的面孔。

This exciting change has been planned for some time, and although we are sad to see the students leave, we know they are going to be settled to continue their high school journey in vibrant new surroundings with teachers who will challenge and ensure they reach their potential. The nice thing is of our GOS IGCSE teachers are joining them at SCIE, so there will be familiar faces amongst the cohort and staff.

另一个使人振奋的变化就是，城市绿洲学校将成为一所专门的小学校区。我们正在调整学校结构，开设更多班级，让更多的孩子有机会体验和参与到我们独特而精彩的课程中。当然，学校的意义远不止于学业，我们不断努力，确保学生们拥有西方和东方的精华。

The next exciting change for Green Oasis School in moving forward is the development of a GOS Primary only campus. We are restructuring the school to open more classes to give more children an opportunity to experience and become involved in our unique and exciting curriculum. Of course school is so much more than academics, but we do continue to strive to ensure our students have the best of the West and the best of the East.

这也促成了绿洲国际的成立，这有点像凤凰浴火的中出现了新生和活力。在这种情况下，迎来了新中学。新学校将继续遵循城市绿洲学校的指导纲领，执行相同的政策和程序，在课程上会有一些调整，包括中国数学和戏剧课程。新学校将位于水围的前深国交校区。从2020年8月起，我们的六、七、八年级学生将成为这所新学校的第一批学生，正如在深国交一样，无论是教职员还是学生，都会有彼此熟悉的面孔。

So this leads us to the formation of Shenzhen Oasis International School. It is a little like out of the ashes of the phoenix comes something new and energetic. In this case from Green Oasis School comes the new middle school SOIS. The new school will continue to follow the Guiding Statements of GOS, will continue with the same policies and procedures with some changes to the curriculum which will include Chinese Mathematics and Drama. The new school will be in located on the former SCIE campus in Shui Wei. Our Year 6, 7 and 8 students will become the first cohort of this new school from August 2020, but just like at SCIE there will be familiar faces both with the staff and amongst the students.

如果没有城市绿洲学校每位成员的支持和投入，这一拓展是不可能实现的。这让我想起了另一个令人兴奋的消息。2021年，城市绿洲学校/绿洲国际将迎来20周年纪念。我们期待着在2021年举办的活动中邀请大家与我们一起庆祝。更多详情将在下一学年发给大家和校友。

Now of this expansion would not have been possible without the support and commitment of the whole GOS community. This brings me to another piece of exciting news. GOS/SOIS will celebrate 20 years of providing educational excellence to the families of Shenzhen in 2021. WE look forward to inviting you to celebrate with us at events to be held throughout 2021. More details will be sent to families and alumni next academic year.

感谢大家参与到这个旅程中来。感谢学校董事会的远见卓识。感谢曾经和现在的教职员;感谢大家选择“绿洲”体系学校为孩子们提供教育;感谢学生，没有他们的活力、热情和投入，这里不可能成长为一个充满生机和令人兴奋的地方。

Thank you to all for being part of this journey. Thank you To the Board of Directors for their vision. Thank you to the staff both past and present, thank you to our families who have chosen the ‘Oasis’ schools for their child’s education and thank you to the students who without their energy, enthusiasm and commitment we could not have grown to be a vibrant, exciting place to be.
