We, the students, would briefly like to say thanks to all the teachers who have helped us so much this year. We have all grown academically, and as people, thanks to your hard work, guidance and encouragement.

We know that our teachers take the time and effort to ensure that our classes are properly prepared, that we meet our learning goals and treat us as individuals. Our teachers show us patience and understanding and for that we are truly appreciative.

Your caring nature and professionalism has ensured that we feel happy at school, we feel safe and we know that we are being looked after. We know we have people trying to make us the best people we can be.

We know we can, at times, be annoying, loud, off task, but our teachers really accept us for the people we are. We can laugh like noisy kookaburras and make lame excuses for not doing homework…yet you still care for us.

Teaching and learning in the IB environment is not a one-way street.Teachers and students should learn from each other and we have been able to teach our foreign teachers how to use proper English.

One of the things we have learnt from you as teachers is to not take ourselves too seriously. We now know how to look at our art, stand back and say "Oh my God! It's so fab" in just the right accent.

We have also learnt that our classrooms are not full of young minds eager to learn but are actually occupied by "silly sausages" and irrational chickens. We know that being able to share these funny moments with our teachers is a sign of a truly warm relationship…

But seriously. We offer our sincere thanks to you, our teachers. Your hard work has allowed us to grow in every sense of the word. You have made us realise that education can be warm, caring, and funny. You have made this year a special and memorable one for all of us.

作为学生，我们要感谢所有在今年给予过我们帮助的老师。是你们的辛勤工作、指导和鼓励，使我们在学术上和为人处事方面都有所成长。

我们知道，我们的老师花费许多时间和精力来确保我们的课堂准备妥当，让我们达到学习目标，并把我们当作一个独立的个体来看待。在校园生活中，老师给了我们十足的耐心和理解，对此我们深表感激。

是你们的关心和专业让我们在学校感到快乐，感到安全，我们知道我们正在被你们照顾着，我们知道有人想让我们成为最好的人。

我们知道我们有时会变得有些“讨厌”、大声喧哗、不按时完成任务……但老师们接受了我们这些不足。即使我们像笑翠鸟一样大笑，为不做作业找不成熟的借口……你们却仍然关心我们。

在IB环境中教与学不是一条单行道。老师和学生应该互相学习，就像我们已经能够教我们的外教如何使用正确的另一种语言。

我们从你们身上学到的一件事就是不要把自己看得太紧。我们现在知道如何看待我们的艺术，站在后面，用正确的口音说“哦，天哪！太棒了”。

我们还了解到，我们的教室里并不时刻满是渴望学习的年轻人，有时候甚至被许多不理性占据着。但我们知道，能够与我们的老师分享这些有趣的时刻是一种真正温暖关系的象征……

但说真的，我们真诚地感谢你们，我们的老师。你们的辛勤工作使我们在各个方面都得到了发展。你们让我们意识到，教育可以是温暖的、关心和有趣的。是你们让今年成为我们所有人特别难忘的一年。谢谢你们！
