在圣比斯（东莞），我们一直坚信学生的成长与成才，不仅仅是取得优异的考试成绩，更在于能否挖掘他们的潜能，让他们找寻到自己的爱好并能在热爱的领域中深耕厚植，继而出类拔萃并受益终生。

因此学校除了提供学术课程外，还成立了涵盖摄影、咖啡、烘焙、街舞、桌游、时尚设计和篮球、足球、网球、溜冰、跆拳道等方方面面的十几个学生社团，鼓励学生探寻课堂外的知识和热情。今天，我们一起来了解几个充满趣味的学生社团吧。

At St Bees Dongguan, we have always believed that the growth and success of students is not only about obtaining excellent academic performance, but also whether they can tap into their potential. We are committed to enabling them to find their hobbies and cultivate deep roots in other fields of interest they love, and then excel and benefit for a lifetime.

Therefore, in addition to providing IGCSE and A-level courses, St Bees Dongguan has also established more than a dozen student associations covering photography, coffee, baking, hip-hop, board games, fashion design, basketball, football, tennis, skating, and taekwondo to encourage students to explore knowledge and their passions outside the classroom. Let's take a look at some interesting student clubs.

“我在圣比斯（东莞）教授经济学课程，也在学校创办了桌游社，当我和学生一起玩桌游的时候，真的是一周中最快乐的时光，这是一个非常有趣的社团，希望你也能加入我们，快来试试吧！”

桌游有助于学生更好地交流，我们希望学生不只是对着电脑或手机，更多的应该是相互投入、谈笑风生；而在游戏过中会涉及到竞争与合作，以及必不可少的策略，因此你必须思考计划以及准备第二个预案应对突发状况，这和我们的现实生活很像。

很多桌游有着令人难以置信的主题和艺术设计，可以激发学生的创造力，其中不乏与商业和经济相关，学生会惊讶地发现，在课堂上学习的知识在游戏中得以运用，所有的这些都是那么的令人兴奋。

"I teach economics courses in St Bees Dongguan, and I also established a board game club at school. When I play board games with my students, it's really the happiest time of the week. It's a very interesting club, I hope you can join us too, just come and try it!"

Board games can help students to communicate better. We hope that students not only play on computers or mobile phones, but also engage with each other and chat and laugh; when playing board games, there will be competition and cooperation, as well as essential strategies, so you must think about plans and prepare a second plan to deal with emergencies, which is very similar to our real life.

Many board games have incredible themes and artistic designs, which can stimulate students' creativity. Many of them are related to business and the economy. Students will be surprised to find that the knowledge they learned in class can be used in the game, and all of that comes together to make exciting times.

“Fashion is a big bubble, and sometimes I feel like popping it!”其实最开始我只是想和志同道合的朋友一起探讨艺术与时尚，后来逐渐发展成一个自由的平台供大家分享自己的艺术喜好与经历，在交流的过程中我们也彼此学习和收获新的知识。

时尚设计社不只是面向艺术学生开设，我们欢迎任何想了解艺术时尚的同学加入。在这里，时尚往往是最大的话题，我们有秀场分享、纪录片与电影、音乐与表演、时尚辩论、艺术家传记分享和服装剪裁实践等。无论大家未来学什么做什么，总能将艺术融入生活，创造出无限乐趣与美好。

今年我们将要接受全新的挑战——创造一个时尚品牌，包含故事背景、创意设计、秀场布置、音乐制作、模特搭配、摄影录像、运营管理、营销决策等8个方面。每一步都是未知，但我们会去努力和创造，如果成功或许我们会在学校举行一次秀场。

“Fashion is a big bubble, and sometimes I feel like popping it!”In fact, at first I just wanted to discuss art and fashion with like-minded friends. Afterwards, it gradually developed into a free platform for everyone to share their own art preferences and experiences. When we communicate and share ideas and experience with each other, we also learned from each other and gained new knowledge.

Juataclub（fashion club) is not only for art students, we welcome any students who are interested in art and fashion to join. In Juataclub, fashion is always the biggest topic, and we have runway sharing, documentaries and film, music and performance, fashion debates, artist biography sharing, and tailoring practices. No matter what you major and do in the future, you can always integrate art into your life and create infinite beauty and joy.

In the new semester, we will set up a new challenge - to create a new fashion brand, including a background story, creative design, show layout, music production, model matching, photography and video, operation management and marketing strategy. Every part is unknown, but we will work hard to achieve it. If we succeed, maybe we will hold a show in the school.

“ 烤箱映出的温暖橘光总能让我想起冬日的篝火，而黄油与砂糖搅拌后散发的香甜是制作甜点中最温柔的气息，大家的欢声笑语和期待就像小苏打产生的化学反应一样逐渐膨胀。我享受着老师同学品尝我的劳动成果后的笑容，并希望可以把这种快乐带给其他人，于是Bakingclub就诞生了。”

每周一，我会提前询问社员们的建议与喜好而去制定食谱与计划并且准备好材料。每位社员都有机会参与到制作的每一个过程，同时学习一些烘焙的技巧，比如不同程度的蛋白打发。大家分工合作，最后一起享受劳动成果。在之后的学校活动中，我也会考虑与其他社团合作进行交流。

在现代社会的快节奏下，我希望大家可以享受烘焙带来温暖慢时光，同时学习新技巧培养对烘焙的兴趣，然后静心地一步一脚印踏实地得到成果。

"The warm light reflected by the oven always reminds me of the campfire in winter. The sweet smell of butter and sugar is the gentlest smell during the dessert making. Everyone's laughter and expectation are like the chemical reaction produced by baking soda, gradually expanding. I enjoyed the smiles of my teachers and classmates after tasting my food, and I hope to bring this happiness to others, so the Baking club was established. "

Every Monday, I will ask the club members for their suggestions and preferences in advance to formulate recipes and plans and prepare materials. Each member has the opportunity to participate in every process of production, and at the same time learn some baking skills, such as different levels of whipped egg whites.

Everyone divides the work and cooperates with each other, and finally enjoys the food together. In the later club activities, I will also consider cooperating with other clubs.

In the fast pace of modern society, I hope that everyone can enjoy the warm and slow time through baking, and at the same time learn some new skills to cultivate interest in baking, and then get results step by step.

“ 咖啡在我们生活当中频繁出现，它慢慢变成我们的习惯，但我们对它很陌生，不同产区，不同品种，不同温度等等都是影响一杯咖啡好坏的重要因素，这正是咖啡文化的魅力所在。我想通过社团来教大家认咖啡，品咖啡，最后懂咖啡。”

在咖啡社，我会教大家做手冲咖啡、意式咖啡等，并且让大家尝试拉花做出一杯好看且好喝的咖啡，后续我也会在社团里寻找志愿者，一起去经营一家校园咖啡商店，为同学们提供高品质的咖啡。

随着中国经济快速发展，咖啡的品牌也越来越多，我也希望通过商业的角度了解咖啡行业的背景和发展，以及连锁咖啡品牌的商业模式和营销策略。

"Coffee shows up frequently in our daily lives, and it gradually becomes our habit, but we are very unfamiliar with it. Different production areas, different varieties, different temperatures are all important factors that affect the quality of a cup of coffee. And that’s the charm of coffee culture. I want to teach everyone how to recognize and taste coffee, and finally understand coffee culture through our club. "

In the coffee club, I will teach everyone how to make many types of coffee and let everyone try to use latte art to make a nice and delicious coffee. In the future, I will also look for volunteers in the coffee club to run a campus coffee shop together to provide high-quality coffee to students.

With the rapid development of China's economy, there are more and more coffee brands. I also hope to understand the background and development of the coffee industry, as well as the business model and marketing strategy of chain coffee brands from a commercial perspective.

如果你有动听的声音，那么你可以加入音乐社，在校园晚会上演唱动人的歌曲；如果你热爱咖啡，那么你可以加入咖啡社，在学习之余的小憩时光冲上一杯卡布奇诺；如果你追逐潮流，那么你可以加入时尚设计社，与小伙伴们感受一场时尚的盛宴......

除了这些社团以外，圣比斯（东莞）还有很多各式各样精彩纷呈的社团和活动，自由、多元正是这里的主旋律，希望每一位同学都能在轻松愉悦的氛围中找寻到自己的热爱。

If you have a beautiful voice, then you can join the music club and sing a touching song at the campus party; If you are fascinated in coffee, then you can join a coffee club and make a cup of cappuccino in your spare time; If you are chasing fashion trends, then you can join the fashion club and experience a fashion feast with your friends...

In addition to these clubs, there are many wonderful clubs and activities in St Bees Dongguan. Freedom and diversity are the main theme here. Every day at 4-5 PM is the time for our house competitions and clubs, we hope that students can find their love in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
