Good morning, parents, teachers, and student,
Thank you for joining us this morning. It’s heartening to see so many familiar faces and to welcome new ones. As the academic principal of Yinghua Academy, it is my pleasure to engage with you and discuss the exciting journey our students have been undertaking so far this year.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for your unwavering support and involvement in our school community. Education is a partnership, and your presence here exemplifies your commitment to your children’s success.
Although I am a newly positioned academic principal, I have been working at Yinghua since its establishment. Despite knowing Yinghua for more than seven years, I would still question myself: “Our campus is not as fancy as our competitors’. Our academic track records are not as impressive. So, what makes Yinghua stand out?” Eventually, I got the answer from my student Antwoine. Antwoine had only been transferred to Yinghua from another international school last August. In a recent conversation with him, he was very appreciative about what Yinghua had been providing for him including the amount of attention he got from our teachers which was something he never had in his previous school due to his low-ranking status. In Yinghua, regardless a student’s academic performance or characters, we do not discriminate and we always try our best to deliver our education and services to each student to the highest standard even with limited resources.
In order to further improve our teaching standards and student performance, this year, we emphasize on the notion of "Growing Together." We are focused on not just academic excellence but on cultivating a nurturing environment where both our students and faculty members can thrive socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Our dedicated teachers and staff have been working hard on developing innovative programmes that foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
We are excited to introduce several new and revival initiatives, including the Elite programme, the World Education Learning Community (WELC), International Academic competitions, and career exploring events. These activities are designed to prepare our students and teachers for the challenges of tomorrow while nurturing their individual passions and interests.
I also want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of communication. We are committed to keeping you informed and engaged through regular updates via social media and instant message groups. Please ensure your check your social media groups on a daily basis so you don’t miss out on any important events.
Lastly, I encourage each of you to take this opportunity to have in-depth conversation with our teachers later, especially focus on the performance and attitude of your children at school. Your involvement makes a significant difference in our school culture and your child's experience.
Thank you once again for your commitment to our school and our students. Together, let us continue to foster an environment that empowers and inspires our children. I look forward to working with each of you this year.
Thank you!
