GUIS-ULC英式课程学部

G9年级新生率先在澳洲开学

7月底,学校迎来了GUIS–ULC的150余名G9年级新生,这也是第一批萌芽于明珠湾新校园的中学部新生。

结束4天3夜的行前培训后,8月12日,新生们成功抵达在南半球暖冬中的澳大利亚,来到三所合作学校——摩顿湾学院、圣斯蒂芬斯学院、希尔奎斯特学院。他们不仅见到了培训周中相识、相处的校方代表老师,与提前在学校等待的当地住宿家庭成员温馨会面,并在当天正式开始在澳洲学校的第一课,由此开启了为期四周的海外学习生活。

澳洲课堂

澳洲海外学习项目在GUIS-ULC已经成功开展快十年了,旨在让新生亲身体验海外全英文环境的学习与生活,提高英语应用能力,适应下一阶段在学校的全英文学习。学习项目期间,ULinkers与当地的寄宿家庭同吃同住,在校时根据学校日程表全天上课。即除了独立的进阶式英语课堂外,分批嵌入当地学生的班级一起上课,学习人文、艺术、语言和体育等课程。

课余时间,G9年级新生还会在老师陪同下参与到野营、城市风光和自然景观的观赏等短途旅行中,沉浸式体验文化差异,进而拓展国际视野,为将来的留学生涯打下坚实的基础。

收获与笃行并存,

已踏上新纪元!

今年是优联教育办学的第20周年,也是GUIS各学部全面融合之年,迎来了“GUIS,一体一家”的重要时刻,由此开启了在粤港澳大湾区构建领先的K-12一贯制国际教育体系的崭新篇章。回顾学校过往20年的管理和教学,那些富有意义、可持续且能够付诸实践的创新,无一不是以团队合作为依托。

在延续已有师资、管理团队和课程体系的前提下,学校形成了以原ULC剑桥国际高中、NCPA美式中学的创校领导,英国第一私校圣保罗女子学校的前副校长,英语及双语言浸入式实验学校的创立人,以及美国西部院校协会(WASC)认证专员及培训师等教育领域资深专家为学校核心管理团队。

良好的学校氛围是由校长、老师、学生等每一位学校成员的认知和行动共同创造出来的,这正是为学生提供优质教育的关键所在。GUIS欣然看到,所有社区成员凝聚在一起,如同推动学校不断进步的强大引擎,高效、创新地推进一项项开学季工作,诠释了学校如何一如既往地传承教育创新传统,为GUIS学生开辟新的成长空间,这些也正是校园社区成员合力践行GUIS教育使命“拥抱多元、丰盈自我、探索创新、追求卓越”的鲜活成果。

师资力量再升级,

合力营造充满安全的培育环境

8月上旬,GUIS各学部迎来了新教师,并陆续展开了全体教职工返校培训、新学年部署等工作,确保各运营部门和教学团队都能以最佳状态迎接新学年。各个学科部门的教师们相聚一堂,明确了新学年的学科目标、教学要求、对多语言学习者的支持等,为学生的学业进步提供高水平的教学保障。

教师培训

每个踏进GUIS的新教师都感受到沉甸甸的信任和应该承担的责任,一直重视学生们的身心健康成长,并在开学准备中展开相应工作。上周,GUIS-NCPA社交情感导师们为负责班会课(Advisory)的教师们进行了培训,意在让教师们明白班会课的意义,带领教师们学习青少年的心理关注学生们的心理健康。在本周三GUIS-ULC的未成年人保护培训中,所有ULC员工签署了《校园安全行为守则》,从预防、识别、行动等方面建立起完善且严格的安全;由学校成长导师带来关注学生心理健康的培训,中间穿插真实场景和实用方法,引导老师们去思考在日常教学中如何更好地支持学生。

GUIS完善且严格的安全保护系统,正是源于所有社区人员一项项支持学生安全成长的细致行动中。因此,GUIS人得以在一个充满安全的培育环境中包纳多元化,鼓励与支持每一位求知者不断探索、创新与追求卓越!

A Fantastic Start to a New School Year

GUIS-ULC

In July, GUIS ULC welcomed their first cohort of Grade 9 freshman students. These are the first middle school students of our new campus.

They arrived on campus to participate in an orientation program in preparation for their English Immersion Program in Australia. After 4 days of training, they eagerly boarded their flights, took the sky and landed in Australia.

Immersion

Program

in Australia

This program has been successfully completed by hundreds of students over the past 10 years at ULC. While in Australia, students have the opportunity to be immersed in a native English-speaking environment, while absorbing the local culture. Students attend classes at Moreton Bay College, St. Stephens College, and Hillcrest College. They live with local families while studying abroad.

Outside of class time, they participate in camping, hiking, and outdoor adventures. This experience provides them with the opportunities to expand their perceptive and continue to lay sold foundation for future successes.

GUIS-NCPA

NCPA welcome new and returning teachers for orientation prior to the exciting launch of GUIS Middle school. As students arrived, there was lots of excitement as they got to know their new dormitories, roommates, and fellow students.

Throughout the first week of school, students familiarized themselves with their new school campus, got to know their teachers and learnt about their upcoming studies and courses.

GUIS Preschool and

Lower Elementary

AS GUIS Preschool and Lower Elementary celebrate the end of their first teaching week, reflect on this milestone. A milestone that marks the beginning of an exciting journey, one that embodies our school's mission to embrace diversity, nurture innovation, and foster excellence.

Throughout the week, a sense of warmth and security was offered by all teachers and staff to our new and returning students. It is emotional time for children when beginning school and for parents waving them off on their new journey. But it is also an exciting time, a time to celebrate the growing independence that our students show and a time to celebrate the start of their new school year and learning journey.

As the week continued, our new students were busy getting to know their new classmates and teachers, and our returning students were busy catching up with friends and making new friends. Our students shared stories of the fun and adventures they had over the summer holidays, and some even shared that they are more excited to be back in school than on holidays! Teachers planned very inviting “Welcome back to School” activities, and it was lovely to see the students engaged, enthusiastic and eager to participate. The foundations for a successful year have truly been laid.

The school welcomed new parents on Wednesday morning to share some important school policies and messages with them. It is very grateful for their participation, and GUIS looks forward to welcoming them further into our community as the year unfolds.
