In the past semester, the PTA of the I-EP and IHP have actively exerted their own functions, closely linked up with parents, and carried out a variety of home-school activities focus on the school's education such as the parent volunteer activities, parent classes, parent salon and so on, all of which have achieved great success. With the selfless contribution of parents, our home-school co-education work is gradually moving to a more standardized, professional and high-quality stage.

过去一个学期，华外创新融合部家委会积极发挥自身职能，紧密团结各位家长，围绕学校的教育教学工作，开展了丰富多彩的家校项目，如：家长志愿活动、家长课堂、家长沙龙等等，均取得了巨大的成效。在家长们的无私奉献下，我们的家校共育工作逐渐走向了更科学规范的轨道，也迈进了更专业优质的阶段。

The new semester has already started and a new chapter is unfolding. On March 1, 2024, I-EP and IHP held the first PTA meeting of this semester respectively. Principals, parents and teachers gathered together, shared the new changes, arrangements and plans for the new semester, and discussed how to better utilize the function of the PTA to create a more warm and loving environment for the children.

新一学期已然启航，崭新篇章正缓缓展开。2024年3月1日，华外创新融合部I-EP与IHP分别召开了本学期第一次家委会会议。校长、家长与老师们齐聚一堂，一起分享新学期的新变化、新安排、新计划，共同探讨如何更好地发挥家委会的作用，为孩子们创造更加温馨友善的成长环境。

The I-EP PTA meeting started with a team game called "blanket turning", in which parents and teachers had to stand on a blanket and turn it over together under the constraints of the rules. Through this fun ice-breaking activity, it was easy to realize the unlimited possibilities of team power, which is also applicable for education.

I-EP家委会会议以一个叫“翻叶子”的团体小游戏拉开了序幕。在规则的约束下，家长、老师们需要共同站在毯子上，齐心协力将毯子翻面。通过这个趣味十足的破冰仪式，我们不难体会到集体力量的无限可能，而教育也正是如此。

Good education is the echo of a group of people resonating in the same frequency. Ella Wang, director of the I-EP student growth and development department, has introduced the changes and work arrangements of the new semester to our parents in detail and sorted out the various educational resources that the PTA can provide. In the communication, teachers and parents promoted understanding, deepened mutual trust, and broke up the gap for close cooperation.

美好的教育，是一群人的同频共振。I-EP学生成长与发展处主任王云老师，向家长们详细介绍了学部新学期的变化升级与工作安排，并整合梳理了家委会能提供的各种教育资源。在沟通与交流中，教师和家长们促进了了解，加深了互信，为家校间的紧密合作扫除了隔阂。

Afterwards, Mr. Zhang, the president of I-EP PTA, and Ms. Li, the vice president of I-EP PTA, explained the main work and achievements of PTA in the last term, and shared the work plan of I-EP PTA in this term. In the new semester, we will continue to work together, take responsibility, and play the leading function. We all believe that under the leadership of our presidents, I-EP will become better and better!

随后，I-EP家委会会长张元珩先生、副会长李细枚女士共同阐述了上学期I-EP家委会的主要工作及所取得的成绩，并分享了本学期家委会的工作计划。新的学期，我们将继续凝心聚力，担当责任、发挥家委会的示范引领作用，为孩子的成长保驾护航。相信在会长们的带领下，I-EP一定会越来越好！

Ms. Huang Yan, the vice principal of Huawai, has sincerely appreciated every parent for their contribution to the growth of our children. In the future, I-EP will continue to work together with parents to create a positive and self-motivated atmosphere for students, sparing no effort to help every child grow healthily.

一路同行，感恩有你，华外总校副校长兼创新融合部校长黄彦女士由衷地感谢了一路为孩子的成长默默贡献的家长们。未来，I-EP将继续与大家共同努力，给学生创造一个良性竞争和自我激励的氛围，全力以赴每一个孩子的健康成长。

Every support is to build a better tomorrow for our children. Ms. Huang Yan, the vice principal of Huawai, firstly sent her best wishes and expressed her sincere gratitude to the PTA members. May each child is able to get energy from us and become a better person in the future under our endeavour.

每一份支持和理解，每一次建设和奉献，都是为孩子打造更美好的明天。华外总校副校长兼创新融合部校长黄彦女士率先为出席本次家委会的成员们送上了新春祝福，并致以最诚挚的谢意。愿我们一起努力，让每个孩子都能在我们身上得到能量，成为一个更好的人。

At the meeting, Ms. Chen, the head of grade, explained the brief situation of IHP to the parents, explained the cultivation objectives of IHP and the corresponding cultivation methods for the students. She also reported the new work plan for this term. Ms. Chen's  detailed sharing undoubtedly gave parents a better understanding of the school's situation and greatly facilitated close communication between home and school.

会议上，IHP年级长陈泳真老师向家长们阐述IHP的基本情况、讲解了IHP对学生的培养目标以及对应的培养方式，并报告了本学期新的工作计划与安排。陈老师的详细分享无疑让家长们进一步了解到了学校的情况，大大促进了家校间的密切交流。

Last semester, the "Star · Brilliant Night --- FLS Charity Carnival" was successfully held. In this activity, we supported the public welfare with practical actions, and delivered the warmth and hope. Thanks for your positive actions for the well-being of the community. During this PTA meeting, we presented certificates to the parents who participated in this project to convey our endless appreciation

在上学期，备受瞩目的“星光·璀璨夜暨华外公益慈善嘉年华”圆满举行。在活动里，我们一起为爱同行，用实际行动支持公益事业，传递温暖和希望。非常感谢大家为社区福祉的积极行动，在本次家委会中，我们为参与了此次活动的家长们颁发了证书，以表达我们的无尽感激。

The money raised from the FLS Charity Carnival will be used to build libraries for children in Yangdong Daba Town and Tangping Town. At the invitation of the Lingnan Foundation, IHP PTA member, Ms. Sun, has visited the sites of the libraries to check out the building situation. At the meeting, she shared her experience during the visit, demonstrating the responsibility of IHP PTA members and setting a good example for our children.

星光璀璨夜所筹得的公益款项，将用于为阳东大八镇和塘坪镇的孩子建立书屋。应邀于岭南基金会的相关筹备组人员，家委成员孙浏女士前往了书屋选址进行走访视察。在家委会上，她把走访时观察到的情况分享给了大家，彰显出IHP家委成员们的责任与担当，为孩子们树立了良好的学习榜样。

With the great support from our parents, our children have visited the Lifeng Culture and Technology Company for career experience. Ms. Zeng, IHP PTA member, as the person in charge of the activity, gave us a detailed introduction of the process of this career experience trip. Learning has no boundaries. In the future, we will carry out more social practice activities to help our children better embrace the world and adapt to the world.

在家长们的大力支持下，我们的孩子们有幸去到了利亚德集团励丰文化科技公司进行职业体验。家委成员甄茜女士作为活动的负责人，为我们详细介绍了此次职业体验之旅的过程。学校是有围墙的，但是课程是没有围墙的，未来，我们也将会开展更多社会实践活动，帮助孩子们更好地认识世界，走向世界。

Finally, Mr. Tan, the president of IHP PTA, made a concluding speech. In the new year, he supposed that all parents and teachers should have regular communication with their children in the daily life and education process, pay attention to their mental health, and to be there for their growth

最后，IHP家委会会长谭国戬先生作总结发言。新的一年，他呼吁各位家长、老师在日常生活和教育过程中，应与孩子定期进行沟通交流，走进孩子的内心，关注他们的心理健康，与孩子共同成长、共同进步！
