刚刚挥别深国预“体育月”，5月，我们又迎来一则喜讯——深国预成为国际学校体育联盟成员！

"Sports Month" just ended, and in May, we have more good news - SIFC has become a member of the International School Sports League!

喜讯传来，在全校刮起一阵“体育旋风”，激发全校“体育健将”的热情，接下来的一学年，深国预学子将每周与深圳各国际学校开展体育友谊赛，享受最多元的体育飨宴。国际学校体育教育联盟，为国际学校的体育教育搭建了完善的合作与对话机制，推动成员学校开展大范围、宽领域、多层次、高水平的体育合作与交流，深圳已有12家国际学校加入联盟。

The good news has inspired the enthusiasm of teachers and students who love sports throughout the whole school. Next academic year, SIFC students will have sports matches with various international schools in Shenzhen every week. This league has established an outstanding cooperation mechanism for the physical education of international schools, and promoted member schools to carry out large-scale and high-level sports cooperation and exchanges. 12 international schools in Shenzhen have joined the league.

深国预体育组组长，来自西班牙的Miguel老师表示：“加入国际学校体育联盟对深国预而言，是一个很好的机会。体育是全人教育的核心和主体，学生要同时追求身体和心理的健康才能获得整体的幸福。在深国预的体育教育中，我们一直在教授价值观，这是教育者的主要目标。体育课程、体育社团、校队都必须整合起来，培养综合性的学生与运动员，也教会学生作为一个全球公民，应该如何在体育竞赛中表现。”

Mr.Miguel from Spain, the leader of SIFC sports team, said: "To have the opportunity to represent our school and sports program among the international schools in our city is an amazing chance to promote and develop our sports teams and physical education courses to establish a long-term project at SIFC. Physical education is a core and main part of holistic education. It is even more essential in SIFC where students need to exercise their minds and body at the same level for integrated well-being. We are always teaching values, that is the main goal of an educator. As part of being a global citizen, it is essential to teach them how to behave in sports competitions. Physical education courses, sports clubs, and varsity teams have different targets, but all of them must be linked to cultivate comprehensive students and athletes. "

作为老牌国际学校，深国预一向重视体育教育在素质教育中的作用，希望通过这次机会，在更大社区和群体中加强体育文化的交流与创新，讲好深国预体育故事，传播深国预体育教育理念的声音。我们相信，深国预学子将以运动诠释生命的朝气和生长的力量，以热情拼搏的体育精神引爆这个夏天。

SIFC has always attached great importance to the role of physical education in quality education. We hope that through this opportunity, we will strengthen the exchange and innovation of sports culture in larger communities and groups, and spread the concept of SIFC sports education. We believe that SIFC students will interpret the vitality of life and the power of youth through sports, and use this summer to show their passion in athletics and good sportsmanship.

体育边界延展

Extending the Boundaries

of Physical Education

在“艺术和体育一样都不能少”的全人教育理念下，深国预不断丰富体育教育的内涵，拓展体育教育的外延。

Under the concept of holistic education, SIFC continues to enrich the connotation of physical education and extend the boundaries of physical education.

传统体育课程已然不能满足全人教育的更高诉求。在深国预的体育课堂上，学生可以享受中外教混合教授的多元体育课程，以体能训练为基础，提升心肺耐力、协调性、力量与速度等身体功能，篮球、足球、手球和排球等球类运动的融入，既提升了课程的趣味性，也培养学生的运动爱好与团队合作能力。

Traditional Chinese physical education courses can no longer meet the requirements of holistic education. In the physical education class of SIFC, students can enjoy the multi-sports courses taught by Chinese and foreign teachers. Based on physical training, we improve physical functions such as cardiorespiratory endurance, coordination, strength and speed. The integration of ball games such as basketball, football(soccer), handball and volleyball not only enhance the fun of the course, but also cultivates students' sports hobbies and teamwork skills.

除此之外，健身、滑板、篮球、棒球、网球、羽毛球、游泳、女子篮球、足球、跆拳道等10余个体育社团同时运行，每学期还会根据选课人数选择性开设击剑、马术、高尔夫、拳击等社团，体育运动项目可谓包罗万象，每位学生都能找到一项适合自己的运动。

In addition, more than 10 sports clubs such as fitness, skateboarding, basketball, baseball, tennis, badminton, swimming, women's basketball, football, and taekwondo are running at the same time. Each semester, the school will also choose whether to set up fencing, equestrian, golf, boxing and other clubs according to the number of students in the class. In the SIFC Sports Club, there is a sport for every student.

| 丰富的体育活动

Plenty of physical activity

深国预师生对体育运动的积极热衷，造就了丰富的体育文化和“亦师亦友亦家人”校园氛围。深国预“奥林匹克运动会”、体育月、师生篮球赛、师生足球赛、校际体育竞技等多彩校园活动的开展，使运动渗透在校园生活的每一个角落。

The enthusiasm of SIFC teachers and students for sports has created a rich sports culture and a friendly campus atmosphere. The development of colorful campus activities such as the "Olympic Games", sports month, teacher-student basketball games, teacher-student football(soccer) games, and inter-school sports competitions has made sports permeate every corner of campus life.

深国预还先后创立了林书豪-李群国际篮球训练中心、现代五项运动中心等特色体育项目，力求让热爱篮球、游泳、击剑、马术、射击、田径的学生在培养体育兴趣爱好的同时，能以此为优势，叩开海外顶尖名校之门，或发展体育职业化之路。

SIFC has successively established the Jeremy Lin-Liqun International Basketball Training Center, Modern Pentathlon Center and other special sports programs, striving to enable students to cultivate their sports interests and at the same time use this as an advantage to enter top overseas schools or develop the road to sports professionalization.

终身体育

的启蒙与根基

The Enlightenment and

Foundation of Lifelong Sports

应试教育体系下的“体育无用论”“应试体育”发人深省，我们亟需打破传统体育教育的僵局，为学生们打下终身体育的根基，让体育教育重回生命教育的舞台。只有这样，才能注重培养学生的综合能力，实现学生个人品格和思维的提升，培养出身心健康、人格完美、思想独立、意志坚韧的优秀人才。

"Sports are useless" and "exam-oriented sports" under China's exam-oriented education system let us reflect. We urgently need to break the deadlock of traditional physical education, lay the foundation for lifelong sports for students, and bring physical education back to the stage of life. Only in this way can we focus on cultivating students' comprehensive abilities, realize the improvement of students' personal character and thinking, and cultivate excellent talents with healthy body and mind, perfect personality, independent thinking, and strong will.

在一次社团采访中，深国预足球社社长Jonas Jiang同学的一番话打动了很多人：“足球改变了我的人生。以前，没有时间和资源去尝试这项运动，直到来了深国预，足球彻底改变了我——曾经孤僻的我学会了团结，明明习惯了独处却开始愿意社交，甚至成为一个团队的领袖。足球已经远远不是一项运动那么简单，它更像是一种文化、态度和精神，我希望更多人能体会到这种纯粹的热爱与快乐。”

In an interview with the club, Jonas Jiang, president of the SIFC football club, said: "Football has changed my life. Before, I didn't have the time and resources to try this sport. Until I came to SIFC, football changed me completely. I learned to unite , start socializing, and even become a team leader. Football is far from a sport, it is more like a culture, attitude and spirit, and I hope more people can experience this pure love and happiness.”

体育不是一门课，是关于“体”和“育”的学问，无法用考试衡量，需要我们用一生去学习、去思考、去体验。正如经济学家、清华大学教授李稻葵所说——运动员出身的人具备特殊的心理素质，包括擅长竞争、喜欢竞争，同时又能在竞争中与人合作，经过无数次的逆境洗礼，有难以击垮的信心和号召力。

Sports cannot be measured by exams, it requires us to study, think and experience in our whole life. Just as Li Daokui, an economist and professor at Tsinghua University, said—athletes have special psychological qualities, including being good at competition, liking competition, and cooperating with others. They have gone through countless adversities, but they still have unshakable confidence and appeal.

体育运动是一个人成长道路上不可或缺的宝藏，从体育锻炼和竞赛中习得的思维与品格可以迁移到人生的其他领域，体育精神实际上也全然超乎了竞技的范畴。深国预希望，每位同学都能在探索体育热爱的路上不断前行、不断尝试，心里是满腔的热爱，足下是笃定的步伐，奋力书写属于自己的体育人生，谱写阳光、向上的人生基调。

Sports are an indispensable treasure on a person's growth path. The mind and character acquired through physical exercise and competition can be transferred to other areas of life. SIFC hopes that every student can continue to move forward and keep trying on the road of exploring sports love, pursue their own sports life, and draw strength from sports.
