六载春秋，如同细水长流，悄然穿梭于岁月的缝隙中，点点滴滴汇聚成国王今日的辉煌。六年砥砺前行，每一步脚印都承载着数不尽的珍贵回忆。今天，深圳国王学校迎来了六周年建校日庆典。让我们在这片充满希望的沃土上，携手开启崭新篇章！

庆典一开始，四头雄狮被笔尖唤醒，一瞬间双眼闪烁，焕发出活力与神采。

伴随锣鼓声，四头雄狮时而腾空跃起，时而稳健落地。其中一头狮子踏上梅花桩，在梅花桩之间来回跳动，彷佛在考验自己的敏捷与力量。还有一头开始登高采青，它一步步攀登至高台，采摘下象征好运与丰收的青菜

四头雄狮昂首咆哮，活力十足，传递着勇气、力量和希望。新的一年里，深圳国王学校也将如同这四头被唤醒的雄狮一样，勇往直前，不断攀登新的高峰！

典礼开场， John Wright总校长身着象征学术荣誉的剑桥大学学士服上台致辞。这一身学士服是学术荣誉的象征，也传递着一份厚重的责任与承诺——我们致力于激发每一位国王学子的最大潜能，全力支持他们在成长道路上不断前行，最终在最适合他们的高等学府中绽放光彩。

儒家六艺，礼、乐、射、御、书、数，是衡量一个人才能的重要标准。在国王学校，学生们才华横溢，精通乐器演奏、舞蹈、诗歌朗诵、舞台剧、合唱等多元才艺。他们以精彩的艺术表现力，展现了个人风采，也彰显了学校教育的丰硕成果。

1年级至3年级的学生们以诗歌朗诵《When the teacher isn’t looking》，描述了在目光不及之处，他们应该如何表现。低年级合唱团以一曲《Welcome to wonderland》，用歌声欢迎每一位嘉宾进入我们充满奇迹和梦想的校园。

低年级合奏团演绎了经典英格兰民谣《Greensleeves》，这首古老旋律被赋予全新的活力与生命力。4至7年级学生带来了原创诗歌《Foundation day》，为学校的生日献上了一份独特而深情的祝福。

高中部的表演更是展现了他们的专业水准和多才多艺的风采。完成所有钢琴考级的学生奉献了高难度的演奏级别表演。8年级学生乐队表演了由Eurythmics乐队创作的《Sweet Dreams》。由吉他、贝斯、钢琴、木琴和鼓组组成的乐队，再搭配独特的戏剧表演，完美诠释了学生们梦想的主题。

高中CCA乐队也以一首充满活力的拉丁爵士经典歌曲《Oye Como Va》精彩亮相，大家熟练演绎单簧管、钢琴、键盘、鼓组、刮葫、非洲鼓、邦戈鼓、牛铃、马林巴、木琴、吉他和贝斯等乐器，让我们得以感知拉丁音乐的丰富节奏。

Annie Weisman的独角戏《Be Aggressive》、Henrik Ibsen的《An Enemy of The People》、音乐剧选段《In My Dreams》更是带来了不同风格的戏剧体验，展现了国王学子在舞台上的自信和实力。

特别值得一提的是，由总校长John Wright亲自指导的高中合唱团演绎了经典名曲《茉莉花》。学生们用别具一格的编曲重新演绎，将中国传统文化与现代音符相结合，赢得了观众的热烈掌声。

学生是学校的核心，更是校园文化的缔造者，他们的成长和发展是学校教育成果的最好见证。在六周年校庆日庆典上，我们隆重宣布了院舍学生主席、优秀学生代表及新一届学生会成员的名单。

我们希望每一位国王学子都能在学术成绩、艺术表现力、领导能力、身心健康、社交技巧和个人成长这六个维度上，成为同龄人中的佼佼者。

我们鼓励每一位国王学子在个人行为、言语表达、思想深度、情感智慧、意志坚定和习惯养成这六个领域，树立起值得效仿的标杆。

我们同样期待每一位国王学子在道德操守、智慧修养、勇敢精神、仁爱之心、诚信品质和自我节制这六个方面，成为他人学习的榜样。

六年间，深圳国王学校在国际化教育、艺术发展和卓越教育的道路上稳步前行，每一位师生都在这里倾注汗水、收获成长。随着六周年庆典落下帷幕，青春的热情和校园的活力将继续在此绽放。六载同行，六六大顺。在未来的岁月里，让我们携手并进，向着更加辉煌的明天，勇敢前行！

Six years, like a gentle stream, have silently flowed through the crevices of time, with every droplet accumulating into the splendour of King's today. Six years of relentless progress, each footprint carries countless precious memories. Today, The King’s School Shenzhen celebrates its sixth foundation day. Let us join hands on this fertile ground of hope to embark on a new chapter!

As the celebration commenced, four mighty lions were awakened by the tip of a brush, their eyes twinkling to life in an instant, radiating vitality and vigour.

Amid the beat of gongs and drums, the four lions leaped into the air and landed steadily. One of the lions stepped onto the plum blossom stumps, bouncing back and forth between them as if testing its agility and strength. Another began the ritual of “Caiqing”, climbing step by step to the high platform to pick the vegetables symbolizing good fortune and a bountiful harvest.

With their heads held high and roaring with vigour, the four lions embody courage, strength, and hope. In the new year, KSS will also stride forward like these awakened lions, continuously ascending to new heights!

The ceremony began with Principal John Wright taking the stage in the Cambridge University academic gown, a symbol of scholarly distinction. This gown embodies not just academic honour but also a profound sense of responsibility and commitment—our dedication to unlocking the fullest potential of every King's student, supporting them wholeheartedly on their journey of growth, and ultimately seeing them shine in the higher education institutions that best suit them.

The Confucian Six Arts—rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics—were important criteria for measuring a person's talents. At King's School, students are brimming with talent, mastering a variety of skills such as musical instrument performance, dance, poetry recitation, stage plays, and choral singing. With their brilliant artistic expressions, they not only showcase their personal flair but also highlight the rich educational achievements of the school.

Students from grades1 to 3 recited the poem "When the teacher isn't looking", depicting how they should behave when out of sight. The junior choir welcomed every guest with the song "Welcome to wonderland", inviting them into our campus filled with miracles and dreams through their melodious voices.

The junior ensemble performed the classic English ballad "Greensleeves", breathing new vitality and life into this ancient melody. Students from grades 4 to 7 presented an original poem titled "Foundation Day", offering a unique and heartfelt tribute to the school's birthday.

Senior students’ performance truly showcased their professional ability and versatile talents. A student who have completed all piano grades offered a high-level performance of challenging pieces. The grade 8 student band performed "Sweet Dreams", originally by the Eurythmics. Composed of guitars, bass, piano, xylophone, and drums, the band, coupled with a unique dramatic performance, perfectly interpreted the theme of students' dreams.

The high school CCA band made a dynamic entrance with the vibrant Latin jazz classic "Oye ComoVa". The students skillfully played a variety of instruments including the clarinet, piano, keyboard, drum set, güiro, African drums, bongo drums, cowbells, marimba, xylophone, guitar, and bass, bringing the rich rhythms of Latin music to life.

Annie Weisman's Monologue “Be Aggressive”, Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of The People", and the musical selection "In My Dreams" brought a variety of theatrical experiences, showcasing the confidence and prowess of King's students on stage.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the senior choir, personally directed by Principal John Wright, performed the classic piece "Mo Li Hua". The students reinterpreted this traditional Chinese melody with a unique arrangement, blending Chinese cultural heritage with modern musical notes, which won the enthusiastic applause of the audience.

Students are the heart of the school and the creators of campus culture; their growth and development are the best testament to the school's educational achievements. On the sixth foundation day ceremony, we proudly announced the heads of houses, head students and prefects, and the new student council members.

We hope that every King's student will excel among their peers in six dimensions: academic achievement, artistic expression, leadership skills, physical and mental well-being, social skills, and personal growth.

We encourage every King's student to set a commendable model in six orientations: personal conduct, verbal expression, depth of thought, emotional intelligence, determination of will, and habit formation.

We also look forward to every King's student becoming a role model for others in six aspects: moral integrity, intellectual cultivation, courage, compassion, honesty, and self-discipline.
