Challenges and Competition
國際處主任 賴國宜
The Interclass Competition is held by the International Department in March every year. The main goal is to create a spirit of sporting competition and nourish our students' interest in learning English. The competition encourages the development of confidence and promotes cooperation between students. Congratulations to all the winners of the 2018 Interclass Competition.
Our grade four students just finished their Our School Community project. Through interviews with teachers and staff, students realized how everyone in our school community plays an important role that contributes to create a safe and positive learning environment for them to learn and grow. I hope you enjoy their writing about how the jobs of different people benefit our school community.
每年三月國際處都會舉辦英語班際競賽，今年，低年級進行英語歌謠比賽，中年級朗讀，五年級演示一項技能，六年級則是結合英語專題，進行旅遊廣告比賽，每位學生都必須組隊參加班級的初賽，各班的優勝隊再參加於演藝廳舉辦的年級決賽，有別於一般學校的語文競賽，只有少數學生參加，我們將班際競賽結合課程，在外師的引導下，孩子自己組隊、選擇歌曲或設計比賽內容，利用課餘時間練習，每個孩子都有機會站上舞台，克服緊張與壓力，努力表現出最好的自己。
學校是孩子生活最重要的一環，除了每天帶領孩子們學習和生活的老師，學校裡還有很多的工作人員，默默的為了提供孩子們安全、舒適的學習環境而付出，四年級的專題Our School Community (我們的學校社區)讓孩子們有機會去認識更多校園的工作夥伴，透過訪談和分享，孩子們認識各個職務的工作內容和重要性，也體認到由於這麼多人的辛勞和付出，他們才能在學校安心學習和成長。從Mr. Dehgoli的文章和學生的作品，您也可以認識更多的老師和學校的工作夥伴。
六年級的青山Time和English Open Day成果發表會將在四月25日舉辦，接下來各年級的發表會也會陸續展開，歡迎所有家長參與給孩子們鼓勵。

This year’s finals of the Interclass Competition for grades 1-6 was held from the 12th of March to the 16th of March 2018. The competition was organized by the International Department to promote collaboration, creativity and most importantly build confidence.
Grade 1 and 2 Song Competition
We provide students with the opportunity to discover and develop their unique talents and this time it was through a singing contest. Students had the opportunity to select a song and collaborate with their peers to prepare an exciting audition.
Grade 3 and 4 Dramatic Reading Competition
With a well-balanced literacy curriculum, we value the importance of reading. For the grade 3 and 4 reading competition, students had a minute and a half to read from one of their favorite stories in Reading Street. Students were required to use lots of expression with their voice and body to make the text interesting and engaging.
Grade 5 and 6 Presentation Competition
We prepare our students with the most effective skills to eloquently communicate their knowledge to the world! The grade 5 students had to give clear instructions on how to do a specific task. The six graders persuaded the audience to visit their favorite travel destinations.
During the first few weeks of school students worked hard for the first round of competition that took place within the classrooms. One group from each class advanced to the finals to compete for a place in the top 3. All students and teachers gathered in the concert hall to root for classmates and observe the best 15 groups within their grade level. Overall the competitions were a great success! We would like to thank all the contestants for their hard work and effort to deliver the best possible performance on stage. This was a wonderful opportunity for students to develop confidence and build up their self-esteem. Let’s take a look at the 2018 winners.
