亲爱的各位老师、同学、家长、朋友：

大家好！

新年甫至，万象更新。我们终于摆脱疫情的阴霾，怀揣美好的憧憬，踏着坚定的步伐走进向往已久的2023。

回望2022，我们每个人都是雄壮历史的亲历者。

这一年，我们见证了战争的残酷，看到了烽火硝烟中的流离失所，体会到了和平的珍贵难得；

这一年，我们走进了太空课堂，随航天员一道宇宙翱翔，科技的一大步锻造了人类的新高度；

这一年，苏翊鸣的腾空一跃，谷爱凌的空中翻飞，无处不彰显着青春的力量和生命的奔放；

这一年，梅西“封王”，阿根廷夺冠，全世界人民为之疯狂，足球魅力、体育精神此时尽显；

这一年，疫情让我们铭心刻骨，病毒让我们深刻领悟，我们一起破解难题、迎候簇新春天。

这一年，波澜壮阔、蔚为大观，“VUCA”或许可表征其特征，但不足以概括其内涵，我们每个人都亲历了这段雄壮的历史，都贡献了一份智慧和力量。

这一年，我们的社区经受住了考验，如一艘大船，载着全体社员稳步向前，我们无比感谢船上所有人对彼此的帮助。

我们要感谢学生们的公益行动、无私大爱。蔡晗啸同学作为最年轻的“团长”服务社区居民，不计个人代价。徐晟哲同学为解上海民众封锁期间购药问题协同朋友搭建救助网络。李嘉芸同学以社团为载体募捐善款支持“拾起珍珠计划”，帮助辍学儿童重返校园。全校近三十名师生共同参与“捡拾岑卜村”环保公益活动，为绿水青山贡献自己的力量。义卖活动中，同学们为心中的善良慷慨解囊。

我们要感谢各位家长给予社区的无私帮助和大力支持。书籍、钱款、口罩、抗原、消毒用品等源源不断地送到师生手上，关爱无微不至。职业周、领导力课程、家长大讲堂，几十位行业大咖及家长走进校园、走上讲台，通过线上或线下的方式分享知识、传播智慧，助力学生成长。

我们要感谢为这个社区辛苦付出的全体员工。在大家的辛勤努力下，学校工作逆势而上，在GIA年度教育教学检测调查评估中，一如既往获得师生家长的高度认同，成为GlA标杆学校。学校还相继获得了“最具发展潜力雇主奖” 和“户外探索特色学校、“第十四届亚洲学校建设大会”评选的“活力常青学校”、“福布斯中国·国际化学校年度评选榜单72名”及“胡润国际化学校排行榜·百学榜”等殊荣；此外，学校还成为了“中国民办教育协会国际特色学校分会”首届理事学校、上海市教育评估协会单位会员 - 跨境教育专委会，也再次成为ESDP英语演讲比赛青浦区的选拔中心。另外，沪上各大知名教育机构120多名代表也曾亲临我们美丽的校园，以“拥抱不确定，疯狂进化”为主题进行研讨交流。陈文国总校长也荣获了“中国国际教育领航人物”称号。今年，我们成功获得开设A--Level课程的资质。2022届大学录取突破前10名校录取瓶颈，英美加法全面开花，艺术音乐名校数量递增，奖学金累创新高。在2023早申中，我校准毕业生相继获得埃默里大学（Top22）, 克莱蒙特·麦肯纳学院（文理学院Top9）, 戴维森学院（文理学院Top15）等一系列名校的录取通知。沉甸甸的成绩饱含扎实努力的汗水，既要基于全体社区成员的辛勤努力，更要仰仗社会各界专业人士的关爱与帮助。

展望2023，我们每个人都是创造者。

2023，我们要创敢于创造。 创造个人更美好的生活，创造更和睦的家庭，更和谐的社区，创造更明亮的未来。正如足球诗人贺炜的评论：“请不要相信，胜利像山坡上的蒲公英一样唾手可得，但请相信，世上总有美好值得我们全力以赴。” 新的一年，不管形势如何变幻，我们始终都会按照教育规律办学，坚持做自己认为对的事情，办受人尊敬的学校，教育初心矢志不渝。让我们所有人手挽手、心连心共创美好的明天，“我”很渺小，但“我们”很强大。

祝福所有人，祝大家新年快乐！

Dear faculty, students, parents, and friends:

Good evening!

The upcoming new year will bring us a new beginning. We will finally get rid of the shadow of the epidemic and walk into the long-anticipated 2023 with hope and brighter visions.

Looking back at 2022, all of us have become witnesses of various historic events.

In 2022, we witnessed the cruelty of war, saw the sufferings of displaced people, and realized the preciousness of peace.

In 2022, we entered the outer space classroom, exploring and learning with the astronauts flying in the outer space; a big step up of science and technology brought human beings to a new height.  

In 2022, the successful jumps of Su Yiming and Gu Ailing showed the power of youth and the unrestrained potential of life.

In 2022, Messi was crowned King of Soccer and Argentina won the World Cup, which put the whole world in excitement, showing the charm of soccer and sportsmanship.

In 2022, the epidemic left its deep marks and the virus made us pause and reflect; together, we overcame the challenges and welcome the new spring.

In 2022, many historic events happened. "VUCA" (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) can be used to describe some of its features, but it is not sufficient to encapsulate it. Each of us has witnessed this magnificent history, and each of us has contributed our share of wisdom and strength.

In 2022, our community stood the test and carried its members steadily forward like a big ship, and we are grateful to all aboard for their contributions to this community and help with each other.

We would like to thank the students for their volunteer work and selfless love. As the youngest Group Purchase Leader during Shanghai lockdown, Hanxiao Cai served his compound regardless of his heavy academic work. Sean Xu together with his friends initiated a project to help those in need to get the necessary medicines during the lockdown. During online class, Charlotte Li organized her club members to design virtual works to raise money for the "Hope for Pearl" program, which supports poor children’s education. Nearly 30 SHBS teachers and students participated in the environmental protection activity of "Picking Up Cenbu Village", contributing to the clean water and green mountains of our mother planet. In our Thanksgiving Charity Bazaar, out of genuine kindness, SHBS students donated generously to the charitable fund of the school.

We would like to thank the parents for their support. They kept donating books, masks, antigens, disinfection supplies, special funds, etc., showing their love and care for our community. They helped invite dozens of experts and professors (sometimes themselves) to share their wisdom and life experience with our students for the Career Preview Week, the Student Leadership Courses and the Parents’ Forum.

We would like to thank all SHBS faculty and staff, who have been working so hard for this community. Thanks to the co-effort of us all, we once again were spoken highly of by our students, parents, and teachers, selected as the GIA model school in this challenging time. The school has also been awarded the "Most Promising Employer Award", "Outdoor Exploration Characteristic School", "Vibrant and Evergreen School" by the 14th Asian School Construction Conference, "Top 72 International School in China by Forbes", and "Top 100 International School in China by Hurun Education". In addition, the school has also become one of the first board members of "the International School Branch of the China Association for Non-government Education", a member of Shanghai Educational Evaluation Association - Cross-border Education Committee, and once again the selection center of ESDP English Speech Contest in Qingpu District. In addition, more than 120 representatives of well-known educational institutions in Shanghai visited our beautiful campus to discuss and exchange ideas under the theme of "Embrace Uncertainty, Evolve Dynamically". General Principal Bowen Chen also won the title of "Leader of International Education in China". This year, we successfully obtained the qualification to set up A-level courses ", and the college admission result of the class of 2022 also made new breakthroughs: our students got an offer from Johns Hopkins (Top 9 in the USA and the world) along with many other offers from top universities in the UK and the USA,including some top art schools, and the overall scholarship reached a new high. During the EA and ED round, so far our class of 2023 have won offers from Emory University (Top22), Claremont McKenna College (Top9 Liberal Arts College), Davidson College (Top15 Liberal Arts College) and other prestigious universities. These achievements were earned through sweat of our individual students, on top of the hard work of all members of the community and the care and support from all friends of SHBS.

Looking ahead to 2023, every one of us will be a creator.

In 2023, we should have all the more courage to create: a better life for ourselves as individuals, a warmer family, a more harmonious community, and a brighter future. As soccer poet He Wei commented: "Please don't believe that victory is as easy as dandelion on the hillside, but please believe that there is always something beautiful in the world worthy of our best efforts." In the New Year, no matter how the world landscape may change, we will always follow the pattern of education, stick to what we think is right, honor our school and make it respectable, and unswervingly pursue our educational ideology. Let’s join hands to create a better tomorrow, "I" might be insignificant, but "we" are powerful.

I wish you all a happy New Year!

Dear friends,

Welcome to 2023! I hope everyone has been able to rest and recover over the Christmas holiday as we now join together in welcoming the tremendous opportunities of the new year.

As we emerge from the challenges of the Covid era, locally and globally, I appreciate all the more the power of community in helping us to persevere, and as a reflection of all that we have continued to accomplish. Amidst our daily routines, the relationships we create, the questions we ask, the growth we nurture—these have a cumulative, transformative impact which propel our students and our School to greater and greater success.

As we venture forward, I know we will be energized by the possibilities of renewal and discovery. Much can be made about volatility and uncertainty, yet I believe in our shared endeavor we in fact have the opportunity to envision a future that magnifies our manifold existing strengths and meets contemporary challenges with clarity and purpose. To do so, we must embrace honesty and work with humility, yet recognize the essential need for confidence and bold action.

We are the stories we create, and at SHBS I am always impressed by the enormous potential we foster and the incredible talent we have brought into the world. While I might chronicle those many feats, individually and collectively—from our first class of 2019 now preparing to graduate from college to the incredible offers received by this year’s seniors and everything in between—I am drawn to a single word that has shaped so many of my recent conversations with colleagues and other educational leaders: authenticity.

The real work of education ultimately rests in such a genuine recognition of who we are, our strengths and weaknesses, our capacity for growth, our boundless ability to collaborate and discover innovative perspectives that reflect our core values. With such authenticity we needn’t be mired by competition or comparison: we develop our own paths, we lead by embracing diversity, we inspire others to join us, and together we embody a future which compels our kindness and our best selves.

I know SHBS will continue to have a pioneering role in the year ahead. I am happy to join together in celebrating the spirit and initiative that makes our school such an exceptional place.

With sincere thanks,

Chris

亲爱的朋友们：

欢迎来到2023年! 

希望大家在圣诞节假期得到了充分的休息和恢复，让我们一起携手迎接充满巨大机遇的新年！

随着我们逐步摆脱新冠疫情时代所带来的种种困难和挑战，我更加赞叹和感激社区的力量。这个集体帮助我们更加坚定，持之以恒，在困难中继续创造新的成绩。我们在日常生活中所建立的人际关系，提出的问题，滋养的成长都累积成为变革性的力量，推动我们的学生和学校取得更大的成功。 当我们坚定前行时，后疫情时代下的更新和恢复所带来的种种可能性将会给予我们更多能量。虽然我们这个时代还充满变数和不确定性，但我相信，通过我们的共同努力，我们有机会创造一个光明的未来，发挥我们的诸多既有优势，以清晰且有意义的方式应对当代的挑战。为此，我们必须秉持诚实和谦逊的态度，同时也要意识到自信和勇敢行动的重要性。

我们就是我们所创造的故事。宏润博源所培养出来的潜力和人才总是让我赞叹。虽然我可以一一列出我们作为个人和集体所取得的成绩——从我们即将从大学毕业的2019届毕业生到收到让人欣喜的录取通知书的2023届准毕业生——但我想用一个词来描述我们学生成功背后的共性，这个词也是我最近与同事以及其他教育领袖的诸多对话中最常出现的词:真实性。

真正的教育最终应该落脚于真实坦诚地认识到我们是谁，我们的优势和劣势，我们的成长能力，我们的合作能力，以及发现反映我们核心价值观的新观点的无限潜力。有了这样的真诚，我们就不必陷入竞争或比较的泥潭: 我们会发展属于自己的道路，我们会拥抱多样性，我们会激励他人加入我们，共同展现一个滋养善良和成就最好的自己的未来。 我知道在未来的一年里，宏润博源将会继续发挥先锋作用。我很高兴能与大家一起庆祝这种精神和主动性，这也正是我们宏润博源如此出色和与众不同的地方。

向大家致以最诚挚的感谢 克里斯 ‍
