从回望到远行：2025记忆索引（内含红包封面）

回望，是为了更坚定地出发。

2026年已经到来，我们站在时间的节点上，回望刚刚走过的这一年，也重新审视教育的本质——教育从来不是把孩子带向既定的答案，而是赋予他们走向世界的能力、勇气与判断力，让他们在不确定的未来中，依然能够笃定前行、清醒选择。

在变化加速的时代，真正的教育，是帮助孩子建立内在的坐标系统：在复杂中保持思考，在喧哗中保持判断，在选择面前拥有勇气，在未知面前拥有方向。这，正是惠灵顿始终坚持的方向，也是我们在每一次实践中不断验证的初心。

这一年，惠灵顿（中国）教育集团杭州校区持续拓展学习的边界，让教育从课堂延伸到真实世界：知识不再只是被传授，而是在实践中被理解；观点不再只是被表达，而是在公共对话中被倾听；成长不再只是结果，而是在挑战中被看见。学生们在行动中认识自己，在合作中理解他人，在一次次尝试与突破中，逐渐形成属于自己的价值坐标与世界眼光。

每一次发声、每一次突破、每一次站上舞台的瞬间，都是我们对“未来应当如何被塑造”的回应，也是教育理念从愿景走向现实的真实见证。

在开启这段年度回望之前，我们想先送上一份新年的祝福。

而现在，让我们一同回到2025。

回到那些被时间选中的瞬间，回到那些共同创造、值得铭记的篇章——它们构成了惠灵顿的这一年，也将成为我们迈向下一段旅程的起点。

4月15日，我校迎来了备受瞩目的TEDx Youth演讲活动，这场由中学部学子Renesmee全权策划与组织的思想盛事，紧扣“正义的世界”这一核心主题，汇聚了8组演讲者的智慧与热情，为惠灵顿社群带来了一场启迪智慧的思想洗礼。

通过参与此类活动，学生们不仅在表达能力和综合素质上得到了全面提升，更在深度思考与探讨“正义”这一宏大主题的过程中，逐步塑造了属于自己的价值坐标和人生航向。

4月底，我校迎来了一位特别的客人——英国十项全能第一人Martin Brockman。

在到访的两天里，Martin将他丰富的运动知识与对体育管理流程的深刻理解，毫无保留地传授给了我们的精英运动员们。从跳高技巧的精细打磨，到短跑起跑的瞬间爆发；从投掷项目的力量与角度控制，到其他田径运动（如接力跑）的综合提升，他的指导涵盖了田径运动的方方面面。

5月24日，校园化身为一座充满未来感的“科技乐园”，3000余名中外师生、家长及社会嘉宾齐聚于此，共同见证了一场突破想象的夏日狂欢。

本次展览是万象城首次开放商业空间给学校举办学生艺术展，以“视角 /Perspectives”为主题，不仅汇集了近百件涵盖绘画、雕塑、摄影及装置艺术的跨界作品，更通过"观察之道"的策展逻辑，向公众呈现了Z世代对世界的哲思与解读。

6月下旬，2025届毕业生迎来了盛大的毕业典礼。毕业生们身着学位袍，沿着熟悉的惠灵顿大道，开启荣耀巡礼。这场仪式，传承的是仁、义、礼、勇、信的惠灵顿精神，寄托的是爱与幸福的恒久祝福。

在2025届毕业生中，77%的学生收获了QS世界大学排名前20大学的录取，85%的学生成功进入世界前50的顶尖学府，累计获得奖学金总额高达300万元。回望在校园里共同走过的点滴时光，这一届毕业生不仅带走了优异的成绩，更带走了在惠灵顿滋养下成长的能力、品格与记忆。未来，这些珍贵的收获将陪伴他们迈向更辽阔、更璀璨的世界舞台。

在过去一年多的时间里，杭州惠立幼儿园持续推进“好奇心教学法”（The Curiosity Approach）认证之旅。这一享誉全球的教育理念，融合了瑞吉欧、蒙台梭利与华德福等教育精髓，其核心在于环境创设——通过真实、自然的材料，唤醒孩子的好奇心，培育内在的归属感与探索欲。

值得庆祝的是，我校已于2025年夏天正式获得官方认证。这不仅是对我们教育实践的肯定，也标志着新的起点。如今，我们正携手天津与上海的姊妹学校，协助他们开启各自的认证之旅，进一步深化惠立教育大家庭的联结与共同成长。

10至11月，我们特别对这些优秀学子进行了深度专访，邀您一同回望他们的成长之路，走近卓越背后的坚持与热爱。

5月与12月，杭州惠立幼儿园先后迎来国际幼教领域的多位权威学者到访交流。诺丁汉特伦特大学资深讲师 Philippa Thompson、首席讲师 Aaron Bradbury 博士，以及于12月专程到访的儿童与教育课程负责人 Matthew Northall，围绕早期教育的核心议题，与教师团队展开了深入而富有启发性的对话。

尽管访问时间短暂，但这两场思想碰撞为早期教育实践、中英教师培训体系及游戏在儿童发展中的核心价值等议题，注入了全新的思考维度。

To look back is to set out with greater conviction.

As 2026 arrives, we stand at the threshold of time, reflecting on the year just passed and re-examining the essence of education. Education has never been about leading children towards predetermined answers; it is about equipping them with the ability, courage and judgement to step into the world — so that even in an uncertain future, they can move forward with confidence and clarity, and make conscious choices.

In an era of accelerating change, true education helps pupils build an inner compass: to think amidst complexity, to judge amidst noise, to have courage when making choices, and to find direction in the unknown. This is the path Wellington has always upheld, and the original purpose we continually test and reaffirm through practice.

Over the past year, Wellington College Education (China) – Hangzhou has continued to extend the boundaries of learning, allowing education to move beyond the classroom and into the real world. Knowledge is no longer simply transmitted, but understood through practice; perspectives are no longer merely expressed, but heard through public dialogue; growth is no longer only an outcome, but something witnessed through challenge.

Through action, pupils come to understand themselves; through collaboration, they learn to understand others; and through repeated attempts and breakthroughs, they gradually shape their own value systems and global outlooks.

Every voice raised, every boundary crossed, every moment spent on stage is our response to the question of how the future should be shaped — and a living testament to educational ideals becoming reality.

Before beginning this annual reflection, we wish to extend our New Year's greetings.

And now, let us return to 2025.

To the moments chosen by time, and the chapters we created together — moments that define this year at Wellington, and that will become the starting point of our next journey.

On 15 April, our school hosted a highly anticipated TEDx Youth event. Entirely planned and organised by Renesmee, a pupil from the Senior School, this thought-provoking gathering centred on the theme A Just World and brought together eight speakers whose insights and passion offered the Wellington community an inspiring intellectual experience.

Through participating in such events, pupils not only develop their communication skills and overall competencies, but also gradually shape their own value systems and life directions through deep reflection on the profound concept of justice.

At the end of April, Wellington welcomed a very special guest — Martin Brockman, Britain's leading decathlete.

During his two-day visit, Martin generously shared his extensive athletic expertise and deep understanding of sports management processes with our elite athletes. From refining high-jump techniques and sprint starts to mastering power and angle in throwing events and enhancing overall performance in other track disciplines such as relay racing, his guidance covered every aspect of athletics.

On 24 May, our campus transformed into a futuristic 'tech playground' as over 3,000 pupils, parents, staff and community guests gathered to witness an unforgettable summer celebration.

The 2025 Summer Carnival placed technology at its heart, boldly breaking traditional boundaries. With immersive future-themed experiences, electrifying music, and all-day family activities, it offered children and adults alike a vibrant festival where technology, art and joy came together in perfect harmony.

On 7 June, the 2025 Wellington Water Sports Invitational was grandly held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Aquatic Arena. More than 500 young athletes from over 20 swimming teams and 10 artistic swimming teams — representing Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, the Yangtze River Delta and Singapore — competed for aquatic glory.

As host, our school achieved outstanding results: first place overall in the girls', boys' and mixed team categories with total scores of 334, 325 and 659, respectively. In artistic swimming, our pupils also secured first place in seven categories, including team, mixed duet, duet and solo events, claiming the majority of championship titles.

On 14 June, the 2025 Annual Pupil Art Exhibition opened at MixC Mall, presenting the public with an artistic feast that transcended age and culture. Teachers, pupils, parents, members of the public and media representatives gathered to witness the opening of this exhibition.

This was the first time MixC Mall had opened its commercial space to a school for a pupil art exhibition. Titled 'Perspectives', the exhibition featured nearly 100 works across painting, sculpture, photography and installation art. Through the curatorial theme Ways of Seeing, it offered a window into Generation Z's reflections and interpretations of the world.

In late June, the Class of 2025 celebrated their graduation in a grand ceremony. Wearing their academic gowns, pupils walked along the familiar Wellington Avenue, beginning their ceremonial procession of honour. This tradition carries forward the Wellington values of kindness, responsibility, respect, courage and integrity, and conveys enduring wishes of love and happiness.

Among this cohort, 77% of pupils received offers from universities ranked in the global top 20 by QS, and 85% entered top 50 institutions worldwide. The total scholarships awarded reached 3 million RMB. As they look back on their shared years on campus, these graduates take with them not only outstanding results, but also the abilities, character and memories nurtured at Wellington — treasures that will accompany them onto a broader and brighter global stage.

Over the past year, our Nursery has steadily advanced its journey towards certification under The Curiosity Approach. This globally recognised educational philosophy integrates the essence of Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Waldorf education, with a core focus on learning environments — using real, natural materials to awaken children's curiosity and nurture a sense of belonging and exploration.

We are delighted to announce that official certification was achieved in the summer of 2025. This recognition affirms our educational practice and marks a new beginning. Today, we are working alongside our sister schools in Tianjin and Shanghai to support their own certification journeys, further strengthening connections and shared growth across the Wellington family.

In July, Wellington College Education (China) – Hangzhou stood out with near-perfect performance in the prestigious Jingling and Forbes international education rankings, securing multiple top positions in Hangzhou and demonstrating its strength as a benchmark for international education.

In the China International Kindergarten Top 30 · 2025 ranking released by Kinglead, our Nursery claimed first place in Hangzhou with a 5A rating. In the 2025 Forbes China International School Rankings, Hiba Academy Hangzhou, Wellington College International Hangzhou (Primary and Senior School) all ranked first in their respective bilingual and international school categories.

On 17 September, Chairman of Transfar Group and Honorary Chairman of Wellington College Education (China) – Hangzhou, Mr Xu Guanju, together with Mr Chen Tao, President of Transfar Science and Technology City Co. Ltd., Mr Jiang Zhangke, Executive Vice President, Ms Wang Lijia, Assistant to the President, and Ms Chen Miaomiao, General Manager of the Industrial Investment Promotion Department, visited our school for a tour and guidance.

During the tour, Chairman Xu made detailed inquiries about the curriculum design, teaching practices and daily operations of the school. He spoke highly of the school's achievements in continuously upgrading its teaching facilities in recent years and in creating an outstanding learning environment for pupils.

In the 2025 IGCSE examinations, five pupils from our Senior School distinguished themselves among candidates worldwide, winning five Global Top Awards and two China Top Awards. In recognition of these outstanding academic achievements, the school was presented with the Star-Gathering Award at the Pearson Edexcel China Partner Schools Annual Conference.

From October to November, we conducted in-depth interviews with these exceptional pupils, inviting the community to revisit their journeys of growth and discover the perseverance and passion behind excellence.

In May and December, our Nursery welcomed several internationally recognised scholars in early childhood education. Senior Lecturer Philippa Thompson, Principal Lecturer Dr Aaron Bradbury from Nottingham Trent University, and — during a special December visit — Matthew Northall, Head of the Childhood and Education Programme, engaged in in-depth and inspiring dialogue with our teaching team around key issues in early years education.

Although the visits were brief, these exchanges brought fresh perspectives to early years practice, Sino-British teacher training systems, and the essential role of play in child development.
