周日的晚上，当孩子们扮演着“精怪们”，在热热闹闹地敲门要“糖果”时，徐娟老师一边接听家长的电话，眼睛还不忘关注着孩子们的游戏方向。她的时间安排得非常紧凑，从早上七点到夜里十二点，十七个小时，被分配于宿舍管理、学生监管、家校沟通。

On Sunday evening, as the children dressed up in various costumes, knocking on doors and requesting "candy" from tenants, Jerry attentively watched their antics while skilfully managing calls from their parents. Her schedule is demanding; in a 17-hour stretch from 7 am to midnight, her time is devoted to managing the dormitory, supervising students, and maintaining effective communication between school and home.

徐娟老师从事学生生活管理工作已17年。

她带领团队共同构建独具特色的宿舍文化，获得家长和学生的高度认可。她熟悉各年龄段孩子的特性，重视学生行为培养和品格发展。她致力于用专业的精神追求、诠释教育的本质。

Jerry has dedicated 17 years of her life to managing student campus life. She takes charge of a team that works together to foster a distinctive dormitory culture, one that parents and students genuinely appreciate. Jerry possesses a deep understanding of children of all ages, and places significant emphasis on their behaviour and character development. With a keen sense of professionalism, she is wholeheartedly committed to creating a nurturing and holistic educational environment where children can thrive.

持有校长资格证、心理咨询师证、BSA寄宿从业资质、卫生健康师执业证和医疗急救证。

她深耕国际教育行业17年，曾担任上海知名K12国际教育学校寄宿部主任7年，同时兼任知名国际教育集团中国区寄宿协调主任2年，指导并支持6所寄宿制学校的管理工作。

Over the tenure of her career Jerry has completed several certificates, related to education and child development including certificates in psychological consulting, first aid medical emergency training and she has also trained as a principle. With a commendable 17-year tenure in student life management, she has accumulated extensive experience. Notably, Jerry served as the Head of Boarding at a prestigious international school (K12) in Shanghai for seven years. Additionally, she served as the Director of Chinese Boarding Coordination within the organization, providing guidance and support for the management of six boarding schools over a span of two years.

早上7点，伴随着悦耳的起床音乐，徐娟老师会出现在宿舍门口向孩子们说早安，随后陪伴他们就餐。下午的课外拓展活动时间，徐老师的身影会随机出现在学校不同的地方，巡视和留意孩子们的上课状态。

傍晚到深夜，是徐老师最为忙碌的时光。孩子们会在晚饭后找她分享一天的故事。曾有一位新入住的小朋友，特意确认徐老师所在的宿舍房号，找她一起度过晚睡前的时光。在同学们都回宿舍休息后，徐老师会跟团队一起整理公共区的物件、检查休息区、巡逻宿舍和查房，还定期与团队成员开会，共享孩子们的寄宿情况。

在学校，同学们总喜欢把徐娟老师亲切地称呼为“徐妈妈”。作为“学校里的妈妈”，徐老师希望孩子们在校能有家的归属感和安全感。

At 7 am, accompanied by cheerful waking-up music, Jerry greets the children at the dormitory door and wishes them a good morning before escorting them to breakfast. Throughout the day Jerry will visit various parts of the school to visit and check in on students.

Jerry's busiest time is in the evenings. After dinner, children often seek her out to share stories about their day. All students are aware of where Jerry’s room is in the dormitory and will seek her out when they need comfort. The students know that she has an open-door policy and that they are always welcome to come and see her. This approach is made clear to new FCG boarding students. Once the students return to their rooms to rest, Jerry and her team tidy up the communal areas, inspect the rest areas, patrol the dormitory, and conduct room checks. She also regularly meets with her team members to discuss the boarding matters and the children's needs and developmental requirements.

The students affectionately refer to Jerry as "Mother Jerry."

As a nurturing figure, Jerry strives to create a sense of belonging and security for her children, just like a loving mother would at home.

“我们把孩子从家长手里接过来，将还给家长更具‘社会性’的孩子。”

寄宿部不仅是为孩子提供休息、储物等功能性的场所，更是一个“家社区”，它比家的范围更广、职能更强，是培养有自律、责任感和团队合作精神孩子的理想环境。

寄宿部的“家长们”在学术、社交、体育和心理辅导等方面，多方位、全方面地为寄宿生提供支持与帮助。老师们会手把手教低年级孩子铺床单、叠衣服、整理桌柜、与室友相处、管理时间等，直到他们适应寄宿生活。

具有“社会性”的孩子，不仅能够生活自理，还能处理好与老师、同学的关系。

徐老师带领寄宿团队为寄宿生规划了多种寄宿活动：节日类如万圣节、中秋节活动；生活技能类如网络安全培训、烹饪技巧学习；户外类如农场游戏、室外电影；月度生日派对等。这是同学们探索自我、发现新世界和结交终生朋友的机会。他们接触到不同年级、性格的人，一起分享欢笑、挑战和成长，建立更深厚的友谊。

At FCG we warmly welcome children into our care, building upon the solid foundation laid by their parents, and guiding them towards becoming socially adept individuals. We become their second home.

Boarding is not just a functional space; it is a vibrant community. The boarding team provides a wide range of support functions, all focussed on providing a space where students' development is prioritized. This is truly a community where all students can thrive and grow.

In the boarding department, the dedicated "parents" provide comprehensive support and assistance to the students in various areas, including academics, socialisation, sports, and psychological counselling. Teachers take personal time and effort to guide younger students through tasks such as making their beds, folding clothes, organizing their desks and cabinets, cultivating positive relationships with roommates, and effectively managing their time. This guidance continues until the students successfully adapt to the boarding lifestyle.

Emphasizing the importance of social development, our boarding program not only teaches children self-care but also equips them with the skills to navigate relationships with teachers and peers. Jerry, our dedicated coordinator, has meticulously designed a diverse range of boarding activities that cater to various interests and needs.

These engaging activities encompass festive celebrations and activities like:

·         Halloween and Mid-Autumn Festival events,

·         Practical life skills classes covering topics such as internet safety and cooking techniques,

·         Exciting outdoor adventures and outdoor movies, as well as monthly birthday parties.

Through these activities, students have the opportunity to explore their own identities, discover new worlds, and forge lifelong friendships. They interact with peers from different grades, with diverse personalities, sharing laughter, embracing challenges, and growing together, thereby forming deeper bonds of friendship. Socialising is an especially key component to holistic development of the children. Creating an environment where students can socialise in a safe space, they are enabled to develop skills that benefits their overall growth. They learn to manage their relationships with peers and teachers and, they become more independent.

在寄宿部的大家庭中，主体是寄宿生，只有他们具备了主人翁意识，才能把这里经营成真正的“家社区”。

今年，在徐老师的带领下，校学生会顺利组建，并特设2位寄宿部部长，他们代表宿舍，成立寄宿部委员会。通过寄宿部委员会，学生可以充分参与到宿舍管理中。寄宿生会从他们的角度提供寄宿管理建议，舍监与学生委员共商、共管宿舍。此外，宿舍也设立了舍长岗位，让同学们实现宿舍内自治管理。

寄宿生完成一天紧张有序的学习后，总喜欢在不同运动场地锻炼。寄宿部委员会听取学生建议：在原运动安排表的基础上，延长足球场的使用时间。学生会成员自愿排班进行场地和安全监管。这个方案可以做到学生主导、执勤老师监管，并满足同学们晚间踢球的需求。徐老师非常认可，一周后，该方案便落地执行了。

师生共管宿舍激发了学生的积极主动性，做到了自我管理和教师监督相结合。徐老师欣慰地说道，“寄宿生活教会孩子们独立思考、自主决策和承担责任。很开心可以见证他们的成长”。

In a FCG boarding home, the students are the centre, and it is only when they have a sense of ownership that the boarding truly functions as a "home community." Under Jerry's leadership this year, the school student union was successfully established, and two boarding ministers were appointed to represent the dormitory and form the boarding department committee. Through this committee, students actively participate in the management of the dormitory, offering valuable insights and advice from their own perspectives to the housemasters. The housemasters, in turn, consult with the student council to effectively oversee the hostel.

After their studies, boarders enjoy engaging in various sports activities at different venues. Taking cues from the students, the Boarding Committee has extended the playtime on the football field. The members of the Student Council have volunteered to organize the schedule for field usage and ensure safety supervision. This program is now student-led, with teachers on duty providing supervision, and it caters to the needs expressed by the students.

"Boarding teaches children the values of independent thinking, decision-making, and taking responsibility. I am delighted to witness their growth," Jerry expressed with joy.

周末的早晨，全寄宿的孩子们会如平日般准时起床，与徐老师、同学们分工合作。煎鸡蛋、烤面包片、摆放碗筷等，一起准备三明治早餐。随后开启一天的活动时光。一直以来，寄宿生都有着丰富的夜晚和周末生活，如游泳、射箭、户外垂钓等。

徐娟老师希望同学们可以充分利用周末时光，将学习融入生活中，在综合项目中有所体验、成长。未来，徐老师将带领寄宿部团队为不同年级的孩子打造更适配的综合项目，让他们在生活、学术等方面均有所获。例如，老师将会带领中学部孩子参加爱丁堡公爵国际奖，让他们在周末活动的同时收获项目研究经验，丰富学术知识。

On weekends, the boarders wake up early, and as a community they will start the day with making breakfast together and setting the table. After breakfast the day’s activities will start. Students will take part in a number of activities arranged by the boarding parents.

Jerry aims to maximize the weekends for students by integrating learning into their lives and engaging them in projects. The objective is for students to acquire valuable experiences and foster personal growth.

Looking ahead, Jerry, in collaboration with the Boarding Department team, intends to develop even more programs tailored to students of different grade levels. These programs will offer students opportunities to excel academically and in their personal lives.

For instance, one of the planned activities is for secondary school students to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. This endeavour will enable students to engage in project research, expand their academic knowledge, and have a rewarding weekend experience while being guided by their teachers.

学校现在的寄宿部团队有中外方舍监、外籍学业指导老师和寄宿生活老师，另有医护人员、人文心智关怀导师，他们给予了寄宿生全面的照顾。

但是徐娟主任对团队有着更高的期待和要求。她计划本学年寄宿部通过BSA的国际认证，让团队成员定期接受BSA专业培训，以国际化寄宿管理标准，持续提升团队的专业水平，更好地满足寄宿生的个性化和全面需求。

Currently, the school's boarding department has a team consisting of Chinese and expat house parents, expat academic guidance teachers, boarding life teachers, medical staff, and humanistic care tutors. This dedicated team provides comprehensive care for the boarding students. However, Jerry has even greater expectations and aspirations for the team.

Jerry's plan for this academic year is to obtain Boarding Schools' Association（BSA） international certification for the boarding department. She also intends to ensure that team members regularly receive professional training from BSA. These efforts are aimed at continuously enhancing the team's professional competence and enabling them to meet the personalized and comprehensive needs of the boarding students according to international dormitory management standards. Jerry is committed to providing the best possible care and support for the boarders.

徐主任相信，生活即教育。孩子在寄宿生活中学习到的一切，将成为滋养他们的养分，助力他们绽放属于自己的精彩。

Jerry holds a strong belief in the inherent educational value of life itself. She believes that every aspect of the children's boarding experience plays a significant role in their growth and development, fostering an environment where they can blossom beautifully.
