Pudong Campus: 2025 SHSID Middle and Primary School Opening Ceremony of the First Semester

September 4, 2025

 On the morning of September 1, 2025, all teachers and students of SHSID Pudong Campus gathered in the auditorium for the grand opening ceremony. The campus was filled with joy and anticipation as students prepared to embark on their new journeys.





The ceremony began with a speech by Ms. Liu Fang, Vice Principal of SHSID Middle and Primary School. She expressed gratitude to the teachers for their dedication and reminded students that a new semester is not only about grades, but also about personal growth. What will be remembered are not test scores, but the courage to raise a hand, the friendships along the way, and the strength to stand up after failure. She also encouraged students to stay curious, embrace trial and error, set small goals with persistence, and discover themselves through reading and self-expression.



Mr. Wu Xiaodong, Director of SHSID Pudong Campus, then delivered a speech on the theme of "Passion and Challenges." He pointed out that enjoyment can come not only from talent or results, but also from growth and a pure love for learning. He encouraged students not to confine joy to what they are good at, but to find happiness in the process itself— in every attempt, mistake, and small form of progress. He reminded everyone that true joy lies not at the finish line, but in the journey.



Next, four outstanding student representatives delivered inspiring speeches. Molly, a second grader, humorously described her journey from struggling with Chinese characters to improving through persistence, and she shared her experiences in the Art Festival, Talent Show, Engineering Master Competition, and Science Photography Contest, encouraging everyone to embrace challenges with joy. Michael, a third grader, spoke on the theme of "ownership," illustrating it with everyday examples and emphasize the importance of responsibility. Gary, a fourth grader, warmly welcomed new students, calling Pudong Campus a "magical school" where knowledge, habits, and dreams all come to life. He reminded his peers to uphold good study habits and to paint a colorful new semester together. Grace, a fifth grader, shared how she balanced fencing and academics through smart time management, proving that hobbies and study can complement each other. She encouraged everyone to discover their own "time secrets" and thrive in both learning and passion.









Amid enthusiastic applause, the ceremony reached its final session: the goal-sharing and award presentation. Selected students eagerly shared their aspirations for the new school year, filling the auditorium with excitement. Teachers then announced the names of award winners, whose faces shone with bright smiles. All students looked forward with anticipation to writing their own wonderful stories in the year ahead. The opening ceremony of SHSID Pudong Campus thus concluded successfully in a warm and joyful atmosphere.
