本期的周晨会从电影《敦刻尔克》的片段开始，片段中还原的战争场景让所有学生都不由得紧张起来。随后，13年级的学生通过表演，将大家的情绪推进到战争的焦虑和不安中，枪械、子弹没有感情地杀死战场上的人们，倒下的不仅仅是一个士兵，也是一个母亲的儿子、孩子的父亲。

The assembly in this week was beginning by the clip of the film 'Dunkirk', which presented a scenarios of intense battlefield. Followed by a short play by Y13s, the audience was watching attentively and feeling involved.

而后，周晨会的舞台上还原了联合会大会现场。联合国大会于1981年通过决议，将每年9月的第三个星期二联大开幕的日子定为国际和平日。2001年9月7日，联合国大会通过决议，决定自2002年起，每年的9月21日为国际和平日。大会宣布，国际和平日为全球停火和非暴力日，并呼吁所有国家和人民在这一天停止敌对行动。当国家之间终于结束战争，签订和平的约定，每个人脸上都是发自内心的笑容。通过精彩的场景演绎，学生们呼吁和平，倾诉了希望世界再无战争的美好愿望。时至今日，在疫情突发的全球局势下，更是让大家意识到，世界是一个共同体，国与国之间需要团结起来，合力对抗病毒。

Then, the Y13s reproduced the UN General Assembly. In 1981, The UN General Assembly declared, in a resolution, the International Day of Peace, to be devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace. The date initially chosen was the regular opening day of the annual sessions of the General Assembly, the third Tuesday of September, and it was changed in 2001 to the current annual celebration on 21 September each year.

This year, it has been clearer than ever that we are not each other’s enemies. Rather, our common enemy is a tireless virus. COVID-19 has thrown our world into turmoil and forcibly remind us that all humanity should stand together to defeat the global pandemic.

本期周晨会，12年级X班的同学们向大家介绍了一个特别的节日——世界诗歌日。

你们是否听说过这个节日呢？1999年在巴黎举行的教科文组织第30次大会决定宣布3月21日为世界诗歌日，目的之一就是为了支持通过诗歌表达语言的多样性，支持诗歌回到诗朗诵的传统。

诗歌是一种优美的文化形式，它可以高雅深刻，也可以是平凡温馨的。同学们向大家展示了两个日常的场景——教室和餐厅，在这样最平凡不过的生活里，诗歌也可以从容的作为一种语言交流。

This Assembly was conducted by Y12 X to introduce the World Poetry Day. A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999. One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered language the opportunity to be heard within their communities.

Poetry reaffirms our common humanity by revealing to us that individuals, everywhere in the world, share the same questions and feelings. The students from Y12 X presented two plays during the assembly by restoring school daily dialogues in poetry. It encourages a return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals.

中国的古诗一直是文化与历史最重要的载体之一，将千年来的故事娓娓道来......

学生朗诵

 《如梦令》

常记溪亭日暮，沉醉不知归路。

兴尽晚回舟，误入藕花深处。

争渡，争渡，惊起一滩鸥鹭。

 寥寥几笔就写出一个贪玩忘返的少女的故事，风景与心境融合在一起，充满了年少的朝气。

而后同学们又将这首诗翻译为英文，语言的差异带来的是一种别样的韵律：

I often remember the sunset in Xiting, I was drunk and didn't know the way back. 

Returned to the boat late at night, lost in the depths of Lotus root.

Fighting for crossing, fighting for crossing, shocked a group of seagulls and herons.

Also, to promote the classical Chinese poetry as a great heritage, the students read a Chinese poetry and then translate in English perfectly.

 《如梦令》

Returned to the boat late at night,

lost in the depths of Lotus root.

Fighting for crossing, fighting for crossing,

shocked a group of seagulls and herons.

“在佛兰德斯战场，罂粟花随风飘荡，

一行又一行，绽放在殇者的十字架之间，

那是我们的疆域。

而天空，云雀依然在勇敢地歌唱，展翅，

歌声湮没在连天的烽火里。”

——节选自《佛兰德斯战场》

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below. ”

如今距一战结束已逾百年，但战争带给人们的伤痛并非时间可以抚平的。

本期周晨会正临近一战纪念日，11年级Y班的学生们在周晨会上，演说了这件给全人类带来无数伤痛的历史事件。一战历时四年多，三十多个国家、15亿人口被卷入了战争，它对人类造成的是不可估量的物质和精神上的损害。

This Assembly is a touching one to let all the attendees to have a moment of reflection, and to remember with gratitude the hardships and sacrifices that others have made. 

The students in Y11 Y delivered a speech about the Remembrance Day for WW1 which was an international conflict in 1914-1918 with about 1.5 billion people from more than 30 countries involved.

当学生们合唱起一首名为“生命万岁“的歌曲时，大家仿佛可以看到：无数士兵在战争中失去生命，人民流离失所，世界被枪声和哭声淹没。生命如此可贵，却被战火无情吞没。可是，它有多脆弱，就有多顽强，荒芜的战场上，终究会长出新的生命，也会永远铭记伤痛。

之后，同学们通过视频的形式，讲述了一战时期，每个国家有多少人因战争失去生命。屏幕上触目惊心的数字，引发了所有人的沉默，在为那些无辜丧生的人们默哀的同时，同学们也意识到，生活在和平的年代是多么值得珍惜的幸运。

Followed by the chorus ‘Viva la vida’ and a short video filmed by students, everyone in the assembly was deeply touched, and took the respectful opportunity to remember all those who are scarified and affected. 

Peace does come at great cost. Meanwhile, we should reflect on the nature of wars and appreciate the great life we have.

暴力与欺凌是社会和学校一直高度关注的问题，联合国拟将每年11月第一个星期四设立为“反对校园暴力和欺凌包括网络欺凌国际日”，并在2020年启动首个国际日。本期周晨会，10年级Y班的学生们就以“反欺凌” 为主题，带来了一场深刻的演讲。

Each year, the International Day Against Violence and Bullying at School will be observed on the first Thursday of November. It calls on all countries, organizations and people to come together with the common purpose of ensuring schools are free from fear and violence. This time, the students from Y10 Y conducted an assembly themed on ‘Anti-bullying at school’ to promote this very first world day.

何为欺凌？欺凌的危害？在遭遇欺凌时我们该怎么做？在看到欺凌的事件时，要不要站出来反对？每一个问题背后，都是对这一现象的深刻探讨和思考。

在演讲中，学生们展示了一份他们自己参与拍摄的反欺凌主题的视频。当视频中的主人公面对同学们的欺凌和暴力时，当他没有勇气反抗也没有人愿意帮助他时，整个“视界”都是灰色的。看完视频，学生们有了很深的触动，欺凌不是一定充斥着鲜明的暴力，它可以是无声的、难以发现的，孤立、排斥、语言攻击同样是欺凌行为，会给被欺凌者带来严重的精神伤害。在此次周晨会上，10年级Y班的学生们反复强调，不仅要约束自身，不可以有欺凌行为，更要在自己或他人面对欺凌现象时，懂得寻求帮助并勇敢的帮助他人。

What is bullying? How bullying negatively affects childs? What should we do when we find any bullying behaviours? Shall we stand out? We should have a reflection on these. 

Then, students put a video on the screen in which they restore a bulling situation happened in campus. The film is in a grey filter that shows how harmful bullying will affect a child. Students in Y10 Y provided an opportunity to enhance the awareness on the prevention of bullying in school, and we should help to reduce the risk of bullying to make the school safer and more vibrant.

As the House System is a key component of a British style boarding ethos, students are allocated into one of the four houses which provide a deeper pastoral purpose and can be treated as four house communities.

The whole system is based around rewarding positive behaviours and achievements which are both as individual and as house. Students were split randomly, and that means students in different ages are grouped together. It allows students in different year group can work together and embrace a shared value and goal to unify the community.
