September 4, 2025

On the morning of September 1, SHSID Lin'gang Campus held its grand opening ceremony for the new school year in the school auditorium. With high spirits, teachers and students gathered to welcome a semester.



The ceremony began with a video montage highlighting last semester's memorable moments: a field Trip under bright sunshine, the energy of kayaking lessons, the creativity of the Science Fair, the kindness shown during the Charity Fair, and the pure laughter of Children's Day celebrations. Each frame captured the joyful journey shared by teachers and students, reigniting excitement for the new term ahead.









Next came student speeches. Hayne from 2-2 took the stage first with his talk, "Setting Sail with Dreams." He recalled his first-grade experiences, expressed gratitude to his teachers, cherished friendships with classmates, and voiced his determination to face new challenges with courage while growing together with his peers. Following him, Erin from 3-1 shared her insights on becoming an "independent learner." Drawing on her kayaking experience, she encouraged everyone to try with courage and think independently, noting that the very process of exploration leads to growth and surprises. Both heartfelt speeches earned warm applause from the audience. 







Afterwards, the teaching teams of each grade were introduced on stage. With warm smiles, they extended greetings and best wishes for the new semester. Representing the faculty, Ms. Joanne from 2-2 encouraged students to always maintain a spirit of exploration as they navigated the vast ocean of knowledge. She also expressed her hope that teachers and students would work hand in hand to build a learning community rooted in respect, cooperation, and joy.





The ceremony then reached a high point with the presentation of the "Lin'gang Eight-Star Honors." Host Teacher Xiaoting Shi invited Ms. Miao Xiaoling, Assistant Principal of SHSID Middle and Primary School to come on stage to present the award and deliver a speech. The honorees received warm applause, sharing their proud moment with the entire school community.





The event concluded with a lively showcase of student performances. Claudia from Class 2-1 opened the performance segment with a graceful recorder solo of clear and flowing notes. She was followed by Peyton from 3-2, who delivered a spirited piano performance of "Black Forest Polka." His nimble playing and confident stage presence highlighted the talent and vitality of young learners at Lin'gang Campus.





As the new semester begins, a new journey of learning begins. This opening ceremony was not only a welcome, but also an expression of hope for the future. Hope every student stay curious, try courageously, make progress in their studies, find friendship in cooperation, and discover new possibilities with each attempt, so as to write their own brilliant chapter.
