We had another successful Design Arcade today, Thursday, May 30. This event is based around the G7 Design unit that sees students design and produce a computer game based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, G8 students showcased their skateboard projects featuring originally shaped and graphically-designed decks. Grade 9 also displayed their mechanical games, such as pinball-like analog products. How cool and retro! Thanks for all the work that went into this exhibition.

今天5月30日星期四，我们又成功地开展了一场设计游乐场活动。这项活动围绕着7年级的设计课程单元展开，同学们根据联合国可持续发展目标设计和制作各款电脑游戏。此外，8年级同学还展示了他们参与创作的甲板原创形状和图形设计的滑板项目。九年级还展示了例如类似弹球的模拟产品的机械游戏。如此炫酷和复古！感谢大家为本次展览做出的所有努力！

The G9 Science students are creating a mini science fair project as a collaborative endeavour in small groups. Then as a whole class, the students are joining forces to give an authentic experience of multiple engineering teams working together for a large automotive company. Leo, Ethan and Sean are figuring out how the length of a wheelbase affects the speed. Joanna, Isabella and Eva are looking into how the size of a balloon affects the straightness of travel. Gabriel, Eric, Evan and Lennox are experimenting how the diameter of a wheel affects the speed. 

9年级的科学课上创建了一个迷你科学博览会项目，全班分成小组努力合作，演绎一个由若干工程团队合作营运一家大型汽车公司的”真实”体验。Leo、Ethan 和Sean的团队正在研究轴距长度如何影响速度。Joanna、Isabella 和 Eva 则正在研究气球的大小如何影响运行的直线度，Gabriel、Eric、Evan和Lennox 的团队正在试验车轮直径如何影响速度。   

The G10 students met with the CAS, Extended Essay, and TOK Coordinators on Wednesday afternoon to learn more about the Core of the IB Diploma Programme. In the session, students learned how aspects of the Core are scored or otherwise contribute to Programme completion. They also spent some time evaluating the ATL skills that are used throughout the Core, such as time management, research, and self-advocacy. They then did a self-evaluation on these skills and identified areas where they will need to grow as they begin their Diploma Programme studies.  

周三下午10年级同学与CAS、拓展论文和知识论协调员会面，学习更多IB文凭课程中核心课程的内容。同学们在其中了解到核心课程的授课和评估的各个方面，以及促进课程完成的其他方式。他们还花时间评估了在核心课程中使用的ATL技能，如时间管理、研究和自主性。然后他们对这些技能进行了自我评估并确定了在开始IB文凭课程学习前还需要成长的领域。 

The Spring Concert & Exhibition last Sunday was a resounding success, highlighted by original music tracks created by talented G9 students, captivating live music performances from middle and high school music classes, and the SIS Strings Ensemble and SIS Wind Band. In the lobby, the 'Music: Digital Creation Exhibition' featured impressive musical creations from G9 and G10 students, while the Housebuilding and Animal Rescue ASA raised funds through the sale of refreshing drinks and tasty snacks. It was a truly remarkable event that celebrated the creative talents and community spirit of our student body. Thank you for supporting our Geckos! 

If you missed the exhibition last Sunday, join us with the virtual exhibition here. 

上周日的春季演唱会暨展览大获成功，现场有才华横溢的9年级学生创作的原创音乐曲目，引人注目的初高中音乐课的现场音乐表演以及SIS弦管乐队的表演。在大堂展出的《音乐：数字创作展》展示了来自9年级和10年级同学令人印象深刻的音乐创作。住房援建俱乐部和动物救援俱乐部成员在现场售卖新鲜饮料和美食筹款。这场了不起的欢庆活动展现了我们学群体的才华与社区精神。感谢您对我们壁虎社区的支持！

The G11 DP1 students have entered their second week of End of Semester exams and continue to make good use of flexible independent study spaces around the school. Studying at school gives students a chance to review with each other while having access to their teachers when needed. It also provides a chance for encouragement from the counseling staff to help manage their stress. Good luck, students, and bring on Summer! 

正在第二周学期末考试的G11 DP1的同学们继续充分地利用了学校周围灵活的自主学习空间。在校自修时间给他们提供了互相复习学习的机会，同时也可以需要时能与老师保持联系。这还提供了一个让顾问团队鼓励同学们并帮助他们管理学习压力的好机会。祝同学们好运，期待暑假的来临！

All three SIS campuses, Jingshan, The Bay, and Net Valley participated in the Senior Clap-out. It was wonderful to see Geckos of all ages celebrating this huge milestone with our grads. Some touching moments were to see grads interact with teachers and TAs that they had in early years and primary. Thanks for such a fantastic time and support from parents that were able to attend.

SIS的鲸山、太子湾和网谷所有三个校区都参与了这次毕业生校园巡游活动。看到各个年龄段的壁虎学生与我们的毕业生一起庆祝毕业这一巨大的里程碑，这真是太棒了！看到毕业生与他们曾经的助教老师就像在他们幼儿园和小学时那样互动，十分感人。感谢能够出席本次活动的家长的支持，感谢大家带来了这段美好的时光！ 

On Friday, May 24, we celebrated our seniors with the Graduation Ceremony and Banquet. The Ceremony was the formal part of the evening which saw our grads receive their SIS diplomas. The banquet was a great time to eat a final meal together as a class and receive achievement awards, including subject awards, the Gecko Medallion for Community, the Principal’s Medallion for Leadership, and the Head of School Medallion for Academic Achievement. The Andaz Shenzhen was the perfect venue to make the event special.  

5月24日星期五，我们用毕业典礼和毕业晚宴为我们的毕业生欢庆毕业。在当晚正式的毕业典礼仪式上，我们的毕业生们被授予了SIS的毕业文凭。毕业宴会是全班一起共进晚餐的好机会，也是颁发包括各学科奖、壁虎社区奖、学生领导力校长奖和学术成就总校长奖的庆祝时刻。本次活动场地安达仕酒店也使我们的毕业庆祝活动更加完美。

We provided a re-run of the ParentEDU for the G5 > G6 transition. The event was well attended, and we enjoyed meeting some of our new Net Valley Gecko parents! We wish you all a great summer and look forward to having you at Secondary next year.
