高藤学生大会｜在 AI 时代，重新理解学习与成长

The assembly began with an introduction to the upcoming AI Innovation Workshop. In his opening remarks, Principal Owen pointed out that: 

Even students with strong academic results may gradually lose competitiveness if they lack independent learning skills and practical experience.

Against this backdrop, the AI Workshop is designed around real-world application scenarios. It encourages students to understand the logic and limitations of AI and to learn how to apply AI technologies to solving real business problems, fostering a shift in mindset from simply "using tools" to actively "solving problems."

Supported by industry-backed training and competition frameworks, students will have opportunities to earn awards jointly issued by the school and Baidu, building strong and credible AI project outcomes to support university applications. At the same time, they will enhance learning efficiency and develop independent learning skills, moving from passively completing tasks to proactively identifying and addressing problems.

Students may register for the AI Workshop through their homeroom teachers. Detailed arrangements and follow-up training information will be communicated by the homeroom teachers in due course. Interested students are encouraged to plan their time accordingly.

Focusing on students' holistic development, the school systematically promotes student growth and class community building through three key dimensions: 

authentic participation, stage-based evaluation, and continuous reflection.

Recently, SMCS launched the "Gratitude Month" family engagement challenge. Students and parents completed activities based on tasks drawn during the previous mid-term parent meeting and documented the entire process, responding to the meaning of companionship through action.

Through what may seem like a small act, students captured genuine and delicate moments spent with their families—from shared outings and cultural experiences to thoughtful everyday interactions. These moments reflected understanding, respect, and emotional connection in ordinary life, helping to strengthen family bonds while bringing home–school collaboration closer through meaningful interaction.

Based on students' participation in activities and their daily academic performance, the Student Development Office announced the stage-based results of the student evaluation system across multiple dimensions, including academic achievement, activity participation, and moral development. 

Congratulations to the students who stood out in each category, and we look forward to their continued growth and progress in both learning and campus life.

Student recognition is not about a single outcome, but rather a stage-based affirmation of long-term commitment, positive learning habits, and well-rounded development. We also encourage more students with potential to actively engage in learning and practice, growing together and advancing step by step.

Building on evaluation and feedback, the school further supports student reflection and dialogue through themed class meetings led by subject teachers. Recently, these sessions have covered topics such as business and economics, history and humanities, and personal growth, fostering in-depth discussion and exchange.

By actively collecting student feedback, the school will continue to refine both the content and format of these class meetings. This process not only supports individual student development, but also strengthens class communities, ensuring that class meetings truly become spaces for quality dialogue, critical thinking, and meaningful growth.
