Mrs Deborah Kirk joined LEH Foshan as the Founding Head of Mathematics & Computer Science Faculty. She graduated from the University of Exeter with a Mathematics degree and since then, Mrs Kirk has taught Maths for over 30 years around the world in top international schools, including in Bogota (Colombia), Barcelona, Dubai, and Bangkok. Before joining LEH Foshan she was teaching in the UK where she was not only teaching Maths, but also enjoyed the role of Sixth Form Tutor supporting pre-university preparation as well as an A Level Examiner.

Deborah Kirk女士是佛山霍利斯的数学及计算机学科主任。她毕业于英国埃克塞特大学，获得数学学士学位，此后在世界各地（包括哥伦比亚波哥大、西班牙巴塞罗那、阿联酋迪拜和泰国曼谷）的顶级国际学校任教三十余年。在加入佛山霍利斯之前，她在英国任教，在教授数学的同时，还担任大学预科生导师以及A Level考试考官。

Mrs Kirk has two grown up children and last year added a daughter in law to the family group. Both boys attended International Schools and have been through the Sixth Form process and onto university. Mrs Kirk has seen the role from both sides, as a teacher and as a Parent. She comments that ‘As a Parent you trust the advice given to you by the school, the school can offer an insight and perspective that is difficult to achieve as a Parent.’

I do not want to lead the Sixth Form students so much as work with them and help nurture their strengths, hobbies, interests, and abilities. I am a facilitator for them to use to help them find out everything they can to make educated decisions about their future. I expect to encourage them to be diligent students, to take leading roles in school events and to encourage them to see the rewards in giving rather than just taking. I hope to introduce the students to career choices that they may not have thought of or be aware of yet. 

与其说是“领导”，不如说是跟学生们一起合作。我希望能帮助他们培养自己的优势特长、兴趣爱好和多种能力，引导他们发掘可利用的所有资源，对未来发展作出明智的决策。我希望能够鼓励他们成为勤奋的学生，在学校活动中发挥领导作用，让他们明白回报和收获都是需要付出努力的。我也希望更够向学生们介绍他们还没想过或没有意识到的职业选择。

I think like many travelled people whose experiences are many and varied the one real lesson is to accept what you cannot change and strive to change what you consider unacceptable. This gives you the ability to embrace change, I make sure I have a goal which keeps me moving forward. I try to enjoy myself daily and hopefully help someone else enjoy theirs too.

跟许多旅居工作者一样，我觉得最实际的一点经验是你应该接受无法改变的事情，并努力改变你认为不可接受的事情。这会让你具有适应变化的能力。我会确保自己有一个目标，让我保持前进。我尝试去享受生活的每一天，也希望能够帮助别人享受他们的生活。

I want the sixth form to be the bridge between the academic and professional world. LEH great sixth form centre will be neither an extension of the school, nor an office environment, but a balanced combination of the two, providing a unique space for our oldest students who will be tomorrow’s youngest professionals. It is a fact that the culture in any school is set by the sixth formers. The younger students look to the oldest pupils as role models, and often take on their attitudes and values by default. LEH will develop relaxed, happy, focused sixth formers, and this will encourage younger students that fit the same mould. LEH understand this, it’s deeper than just dotting a few beanbags around and installing a coffee machine – it is about creating a cultural DNA.

我希望12-13年级阶段能够成为连接学术和职业的桥梁。霍利斯的12-13年级中心是学校和职场的平衡结合，为我们高年级学生提供一个独特的发展空间，帮助他们成长为未来最新一代的专业人士。校园文化都是由高年级（12-13年级）学生带头建立的，低年级学生会以他们为榜样，学习他们的态度和价值观。在佛山霍利斯，我们会培养一群懂得放松、快乐生活和专注学习的12-13年级学生，自上而下地将这种氛围传达给低年级学生们。我们要创造这一种文化DNA。

Reading, reading and more reading. Fiction, non-fiction, self-help books, comic books. Just read as wide a range of English books that exposes yourself to the English language and to different viewpoints and experiences. Achieving A level grades is only part of the picture that makes a suitable candidate at LEH. Breadth of experiences and interests, hobbies, and achievements in sport, in music, in the arts, in technology are all invaluable and will make the students are far more attractive candidate for top Universities around the globe.

大量阅读，包括小说、非小说、自助书籍、漫画书等。尽可能多地阅读各种英文书籍，让自己沉浸在英文环境，从阅读中接触不同的观点和看法。A Level考试成绩只是学生们综合能力的一部分，广泛的兴趣爱好以及在体育、音乐、艺术和科学技术方面的成就都是非常重要的，这会让学生们在申请全球一流大学时更具有竞争力。
