在过去的几个月里，深圳诺德双语学校、佛山诺德安达、广州诺德安达三所学校一直努力，为我们的学生提供独特的机会来展示他们的才华。包括才艺表演、体育赛事以及为表演艺术教师举办的茱莉亚学院专业发展研讨会。

在正式参加艺术节前，每所学校率先会举办校内的才艺表演，并选拔学生代表参加 NAE 珠三角区表演艺术节。深圳诺德双语学校的才艺表演在 3 月 17 日取得了巨大成功，这两个平台都为学生提供了展示他们唱歌、跳舞、表演等技能的机会。对于学生来说，这是一种有趣且引人入胜的方式，来表达自己并与同龄人分享他们的热情。

在当天的诺德安达表演艺术节，我们深圳校区的学生为在场的同学跟家长们展示了精彩绝伦的表演。开场表演由Dora同学带来一段爵士鼓演奏《She Sells Sanctuary》，强烈的节奏感引领着全场的荧光棒随之摇摆；随后，Zachary一曲悠扬的《叙事曲》演绎，尽显小小绅士的风韵。

Angela同学演绎的芭蕾舞蹈《堂吉柯德》把本场表演带进了另一个古典艺术的世界，Harley、Stanley同学倾情演唱的歌曲《大鱼》 征服了在场观众。最后由Yoyo同学压轴弹奏的知名钢琴曲《Autumn Whisper》，把当天舞台气氛推至高潮，获得了茱莉亚专家们的阵阵称赞。

诺德安达怀着对音乐、舞蹈和戏剧表演的教育热情，联合美国茱莉亚学院开设了表演艺术特色项目。籍此表演艺术节庆典，我们的表演艺术老师还参加了由美国茱莉亚学院课程专家主持的专业发展会议。

这些课程旨在帮助教师了解最新的教育研究和趋势，并为他们提供成为有效的表演艺术教育者所需的技能和知识。这些会议涵盖了一系列主题，包括课堂管理、学生参与和课程开发。

当天每个人都在佛山校区都享受了难忘的一场足球与排球盛会。深圳蛟龙队成员们展示了丰富的技巧、激情、渴望，还有令人难以置信的团队合作。但更最重要的是，我们让学生通过这些体育比赛，加强了NAE学校之间的连结与交流，并学会为校争光，为友谊而战。

这次重大的活动证明了三所姐妹学校之间的合作取得了巨大的成功。这不仅为学生提供了独特的机会来展示他们的才能，发展他们的技能；而且为教师提供了互相学习并了解最新教育趋势和研究的机会。

三所学校之间的合作营造了一种社区感和归属感，并为其他学校树立了积极的榜样。期待下一次NAE跨校活动，我们向全国区域、乃至全世界出发！

深圳市龙华区诺德学校（NAS Shenzhen）于2019年9月正式开学，面向6-18岁的孩子开放，提供世界水平的教学环境和先进的教学设施，学校可容纳超过1,000名学生，并为学生提供创新且个性化的双语学习体验。

Over the past few months, the three schools – NAS Shenzhen, NAS Foshan, and NAS Guangzhou – have been collaborating on a range of activities, including talent shows, sports events, and Juilliard professional development workshops for performing arts teachers. Our schools have been working together to provide our students with unique opportunities to showcase their talents, develop their sportsmanship, and learn from one another.

Each school had their own talent show and invited selected students to represent them at the NAE Performing Arts Festival. Our own Talent Show on March 17th was a big success and both these platforms for present an opportunity to students to showcase their skills in singing, dancing, acting, and more. It is a fun and engaging way for students to express themselves and share their passions with their peers.

At the Nord Anglia Performing Arts Festival that day, students from our Shenzhen campus presented wonderful performances to the students and parents present. In the opening performance, Dora brought a jazz drum performance "She Sells Sanctuary". The strong sense of rhythm led the audience to sway the fluorescent stick. After that, Zachary performed a melodious "Ballade", attracting people with his gentlemanly style. The ballet dance "Don Quixote" performed by Angela brought the performance into another world of classical art. The song "Big Fish" sung by students Harley and Stanley captivated the audience. Finally, the well-known piano piece "Autumn Whisper" played by Yoyo as the finale brought the stage atmosphere to a climax that day and won praise from Juilliard experts.

With a passion for education in music, dance, and theatrical performance, NAE has collaborated with Julia College in the United States to establish a program featuring performing arts. Through this performing arts festival celebration, our Performing Arts teachers also had a professional development session hosted by the Juilliard Curriculum Specialist. These sessions are designed to help teachers stay up to date with the latest research and trends in education and to provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to be effective educators in the performing arts. These sessions covered a range of topics, including classroom management, student engagement, and curriculum development.

Everyone enjoyed an unforgettable football and volleyball event on the Foshan campus that day. The members of the Shenzhen Dragon Sports Team displayed a wealth of skill, passion, desire, and incredible teamwork. But more importantly, we allow students to recognize these sports competitions, which strengthens the link and communication between NAE schools. We are a very strong communicated family group.

In conclusion, the collaboration between the three sister schools has been a great success. It has provided students with unique opportunities to showcase their talents, develop their skills, and learn from one another. It has also provided teachers with opportunities to learn from their colleagues and to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and research in education. The collaboration between the three schools has created a sense of community and belonging and has set a positive example for other schools to follow. We look forward to the next NAE cross-school events, and hope we will set out for the whole country, region, and even the world!

Officially opened in September 2019, NAS Shenzhen provides a state of the art, world-class learning and teaching environment with a total student capacity of more than 1,000 students, aiming to provide students with an innovative and personalized bilingual learning experience.
