Ben Webster

Head of Students Well-being


Regarding the meaning of education, there is a recent quote circulating online: "Education has long-term and delayed effects, like a closed loop. Many years later, you suddenly realize something, that moment is like the impact of a bullet; that is when education is complete."


In the British international education system, aside from the pursuit of academic excellence, the cultivation of a well-rounded personality is also a crucial part of a student's learning and growth process. Shenzhen MIS has always organized a series of thematic activities to immerse children's hearts in moral education, allowing them to internalize good character within themselves and develop the ability to care for others. Values such as "inquiring, resilience, responsibility," promoted by MIS, have become deeply ingrained.


Below is an interview transcript with Benjamin Webster, the Head of Well-being MIS.

Wellbeing education is like waiting for flowers to bloom in education

Over the past decade, I have worked at a school in London, and I have had in-depth interactions with many alumni. Many graduates reflect on their time at school with gratitude, realizing that the moral support provided by the school pushed them to become better individuals.


During their youth, they sometimes couldn't comprehend our educational goals, but now, after many years, as their minds have matured, they understand the good intentions behind these actions and how they received care and protection.


The purpose of moral education is to make every child feel cared for and loved.


Outstanding academic achievements, excellent moral care, and a rich array of curricular activities (CCAs) are the pride of Shenzhen MIS and one of the reasons I love this job.

A child's time at school lays the foundation for their entire life. Moral care ensures that every child constantly feels cared for and loved, helping them develop good character while assisting them in determining their life goals, what kind of person they want to become, and helping them achieve those goals.


So, "nurture with love" is a constant theme in the work of MIS. We need to understand and empathize with the motivations behind each child's behavior and guide them to understand what constitutes acceptable behavior and the consequences of inappropriate behavior in real life.


Strictness and love, like two sides of a coin.


When I think of moral care, it's like two sides of a coin. When we educate students, perhaps it means they might face consequences, but this is an act of care. The purpose is to make them understand that there are consequences to wrongdoing, and we want them to have the best possible youth.

As adolescents, all norms and guidance take place in school, especially in boarding schools. Relationships among classmates are a natural part of adolescence. For behaviors like early romance, we should be very clear about what appropriate behavior is and how we expect others to interact in a friendly manner. So, for behaviors like student romance, we are very clear about our expectations and how such situations develop."

学生品格教育/寄宿校长


关于教育的意义,网上最近有一段很火的话。“教育具有长期性和滞后性,就像是一个闭环,多年后你有一个瞬间突然意识到了什么,那就是子弹命中的瞬间,此时才是教育的完成。”


在英式国际教育体系中,除了对学术的卓越追求,健全人格的培养也是学生学习成长过程中至关重要的一环。一直以来,深圳曼校举办了一系列的主题活动让德育浸润孩子心灵,从而使美好品德内化于学生自身。使学生具备关爱他人的能力。“求知、韧性、负责任”等曼校所推崇的教育价值观不断深入人心。


以下为深圳曼校学生品格教育/寄宿校长:

Benjamin Webster访谈实录。


德育教育是静待花开的教育

在过去的10多年里,我在英国伦敦的一所学校工作,并与许多毕业的校友进行了深度交流互动。有很多毕业生感慨,多年后回想起校园时光,内心一直非常感激学校提供的德育支持,督促他们成为更好的人。


在他们少年时期,他们有时无法理解我们的教育目的,但现在过去多年,他们心智慢慢成熟后,便理解了这些行为背后的用心良苦,以及他们是如何得到关爱和呵护。


德育的目的是让每个孩子都感受到关怀与被爱


杰出的学术成果、优秀的德育关怀、丰富有趣的CCA(课外增益课)是深圳曼校引以为豪的办学亮点,也是我热爱这份工作的原因之一。

 孩子们在校的学习时光奠定了他们一生的底色,德育关怀是让每个孩子时刻都能感受到他们被关怀与被爱,帮他们塑造良好人格,同时帮助他们确定人生目标,未来想成为什么样的人,并帮助他们实现目标。


所以“以爱育爱”,贯穿在曼校的教育工作始终。我们需要理解和换位思考每个孩子行为背后的动机,并引导孩子让他们明白什么是可接受的行为,以及在现实生活中,不当的行为将会产生什么样的后果。


严和爱,就像一枚硬币的两面


当我想到德育关怀时,这就像是一枚硬币的两面。我们在教育学生时,也许这意味着孩子会被“留堂”,但这是一个关爱的行为,目的便是让他们明白做错事是有后果的,也是希望让他们拥有最美好的青春时光。

作为一个青少年,所有的行为规范和引导都在学校里发生,特别是在寄宿学校。同学间的关系也是青少年的一个自然部分。对于诸如早恋等行为,我们应该真正清楚地知道我们所期望的恰当行为是什么,以及我们期待的他人是如何进行友好相处的。所以像学生早恋的行为,我们会非常地清楚我们的期望是什么,以及这种情况是如何萌芽发生的。
