开幕致辞：校长的教育寄语
Opening Address: The Master’s Educational Message
在开幕致辞中，校长杨洋博士以真挚的情感与生动的故事，分享了她与惠灵顿之间的缘分。她指出，惠灵顿不仅是一所学校，更是一个“快乐的地方”。在这里，孩子们可以在学习中找到乐趣，在校园里收获微笑与包容。
她强调：“每个孩子都是一颗星星，他们都有权利，也有能力发出属于自己的光芒。我们的任务，就是帮他们找到属于自己的位置，让他们熠熠生辉。”在谈到未来人才的培养时，她指出，未来社会需要具备技术能力、前瞻洞察、高共情力、高敏感度与高直觉的人才。课堂之外的70%成长同样重要，唯有热爱与平衡，才能让孩子的生命力持续生长。
她将惠灵顿定义为一个“温暖的成长共同体”，在这里，安全感、爱与信任是家校关系的核心纽带。
In her opening remarks, Dr Yang Yang, Master of Wellington College Education (China) - Tianjin, shared heartfelt reflections and vivid stories about her journey with Wellington. She emphasised that Wellington is not just a school, but a “happy place” – where children discover joy in learning, and where smiles and inclusivity flourish on campus.
“Every child is a star,” Dr Yang said. “They have both the right and the ability to shine in their own unique way. Our role is to help them find their place, so that they can truly sparkle.” Speaking about the qualities needed for future talent, she highlighted the importance of technical skills, foresight, empathy, sensitivity, and intuition. She also reminded parents that 70% of a child’s growth takes place beyond the classroom, and that a love for life and balance are essential for sustaining vitality.
Dr Yang described Wellington as a “warm and nurturing community of growth”, where safety, love, and trust form the core bonds between families and the school.

分组研讨会：四大核心议题深度剖析
《升学压力下，做孩子的“心理教练”，炼就超强心理韧性》
“孩子不是故意制造问题，而是他们正在经历一场由生理驱动、前所未有的身心革命。他们需要的是导航员，而不是审判官。”
——Ms Stone Li，全校高级心理辅导师及特殊教育需求协调员
Ms Stone Li指出，升学不仅是学业成绩的竞争，更是心理素质的比拼。她为家长提供了实用的方法，帮助孩子在压力中保持积极心态，建立内在稳定感与自信心。
The discussion explored educational vision, collaborative approaches to nurturing children, and practical action plans. Each participant shared personal stories and valuable insights, offering fresh inspiration to strengthen the partnership between school and families.
Breakout Sessions: In-Depth Exploration of Four Core Topics
“Parent as Coach: Building Emotional Resilience for the Journey to Higher Education”
“Children are not intentionally causing problems; they are undergoing a physiologically driven, unprecedented mind-body revolution. They need navigators, not judges.”
— Ms Stone Li, Whole School Senior Counsellor and Senior School SENCo
Ms Li emphasised that academic progression is as much a test of mental resilience as it is of academic achievement. She provided parents with practical strategies to help children maintain a positive mindset, develop inner stability and build confidence under pressure.
《升学≠终点：解锁潜能，定制个性化成长》
“升学的目标，不是为了获得一张名校入场券，而是为了在不确定的未来中，拥有随时重塑自我的底气。”
——Ms Ning Zhang，大学升学指导顾问
Ms Ning Zhang 强调每个孩子都是独一无二的，应结合他们的兴趣、优势与未来趋势，制定个性化的成长路径，并通过资源链接帮助学生成长为具有社会影响力的未来变革者。
“Beyond University Admissions: Unlocking potential and building a tailored growth plan”
“The goal of progression is not simply to gain entry into a prestigious university, but to develop the confidence to reinvent oneself at any time in an unpredictable future.”
— Ms Ning Zhang, University Counsellor
Ms Zhang stressed that every child is unique. She encouraged parents to work with their children to tailor growth pathways based on their interests, strengths and emerging trends, connecting them with resources to help them become future changemakers.
《跳出“学英语”的误区！用语言连接世界与未来》
“英语不再是学习的目标，而是所有学科学习的工具和媒介。是孩子思考、探究和表达自我的基本方式。”
—— Ms Jiao Jiao，英语作为第二外语教师及课程协调员
Ms Jiao Jiao 引导家长与学生打破“应试英语”思维，将语言视为跨文化交流与思维拓展的工具。她通过戏剧、辩论与生活化教学案例，展示了学生如何成为自信的“连接者”。
“The Power of Language: Connecting to the World and the Future through English”
“English is no longer simply a subject to be learned, but rather the tool and medium through which all other subjects are studied. It has become the fundamental means by which children think, inquire and express themselves.”
— Ms Jiao Jiao, ELA Teacher / SS ELA Coordinator
Ms Jiao guided parents and pupils to move beyond the “exam-focused” mindset for English learning, instead viewing language as a bridge for cross-cultural communication and intellectual growth. Through drama, debating and real-life learning scenarios, she demonstrated how pupils can become confident connectors.
《AI时代，学校教育如何培养“不可替代”的人？》
“分数是清晰的，能力是模糊的，未来是没有标准答案的。培养孩子的‘不可替代性’，才是教育的终极使命。
——Ms Karen Shi，中学部副校长兼国际课程中心主任
Ms Karen Shi 在分享中探讨了人工智能带来的教育变革，并通过真实校园案例展示了如何培养学生的跨学科能力、创新精神与不可替代性。
“Education in the Age of AI: Nurturing Irreplaceable Human Capabilities”
“Grades are numbers; abilities are complex; the future has no standard answers. The ultimate mission of education is to nurture the irreplaceable qualities in every child.”
— Ms Karen Shi, Deputy Head of Senior School / Director of International Curriculum Centre
Ms Shi explored the educational changes brought by artificial intelligence and shared real-life campus examples of how Wellington fosters interdisciplinary skills, innovation and individuality in pupils.
