在秋意渐浓的时节，一场特别的聚会在深圳国王学校温馨上演。英国坎特伯雷国王学校幼教部园长Ms. Camilla Webster、国际项目总监Ms. Nina Hunt等一行人，不远万里，跨越重洋，与深圳国王幼儿园的家长们共聚一堂，展开了一场亲切而深入的交流。

Ms. Webster和Ms. Hunt等人的到来，不仅是对中英校区深厚友谊的见证，更是对两个校区间紧密互动的生动体现。在这次活动中，家长们直接与英国本部的代表们面对面交流，了解两个校区在教育理念、课程设置、文化传承等方面的联系与协作。

Ms. Webster在交谈中提到，英国国王学校和深圳国王学校之间的联系，远不止教育理念上的传承与共鸣，更体现在课程设置的精心对接和师生互动的频繁交流上。我们两个校区有着相同的课程体系、一致的校服样式、相似的校园风格，这种跨越地理界限的共鸣，让两校的师生能够在相似的环境中成长和学习。

她还强调，中英校区之间的紧密合作，其核心目标在于为孩子们打开一扇通往世界的窗口，让他们在全球化的大背景下，能够更深刻地理解多元文化和多样价值观，逐步成长为具有国际视野、创新思维，以及对中西方文化有深刻见解的世界公民。

此外，今年还是中英校区笔友计划的第二年。在深圳国王幼儿园大班的孩子们收到来自英国本部小伙伴的回信后，他们满怀激动与期待，再次拿起笔，为远方的伙伴写去最真诚的问候。这些信件，将由Ms. Webster亲自带回英国，成为两个校区之间深厚友谊的又一见证。

在这个秋天，英国国王学校和深圳国王学校的紧密联系，正如这个季节的果实一样，硕果累累。中英校区之间一脉相承的关系，以及多样化的深度互动，不仅为孩子们的成长提供了丰富的土壤，更为两个校区之间的友谊，增添了更多的色彩。

让我们共同期待，这份跨越国界的教育联结，能够激励我们的学生成长为流利掌握中英双语、多才多艺的人才。期待他们在未来的日子里，勇敢探索世界上的每一个角落，用他们的知识、智慧和同理心，为这个世界带来积极的影响！

As the autumnal hues deepened, a special gathering unfolded with warmth at The King’s School Shenzhen (KSS). Ms. Camilla Webster, Head of Pre-Prep at The King's School, Canterbury (KSC), and Ms. Nina Hunt, International Director of KSC, among others, travelled thousands of miles to Shenzhen to get together with us Pre-Prep’s parents, and launched a cordial and in-depth conversation.

The arrival of Ms. Webster and Ms. Hunt is not only a testament to the profound friendship between KSS and KSC but also a vivid reflection of the close interaction between the two. During this event, parents directly communicated with representatives of the KSC, gaining insights into the connections and collaboration between the two campuses in terms of educational philosophy, curriculum design, and cultural heritage.

Ms. Webster highlighted in her conversation that the connection between KSC and KSS extends far beyond the inheritance and resonance of educational philosophies; it is also evident in the meticulous alignment of curriculum offerings and the frequent interactions between teachers and students. Our two campuses share the same curriculum system, uniform styles, and similar campus aesthetics. This resonance across geographical boundaries allows teachers and students from both campuses to grow and learn in an environment that mirrors one another.

She further emphasized that the core objective of the close collaboration between our two campuses is to open a window to the world for the pupils. In the context of globalization, pupils can gain a deeper understanding of multiculturalism and diverse values. Gradually, they are nurtured to become global citizens with an international perspective, innovative thinking, and profound insights into both Chinese and Western cultures

Additionally, this year marks the second year of the pen pal programme in the two campuses. After receiving replies from their friends in the UK campus, our K3 pupils are filled with excitement and anticipation as they pick up their pens once again to send their most sincere greetings to their friends far away. These letters, which will be personally taken back to the UK by Ms. Webster, serve as yet another testament to the profound friendship between the two campuses.

In this autumn, the close bond between KSC and KSS is as fruitful as the season’s harvest. The shared heritage and diverse deep interactions between the two campuses not only enrich the soil for the children’s growth but also add more vibrant highlights to the friendship between the two campuses.

We look forward to this cross-border educational connection will inspire our students to grow into versatile talents who are fluent in both Chinese and English. We hope that they will bravely explore every corner of the world in the future, using their knowledge, wisdom, and empathy to make a positive impact to the world!
