在MIS，看见支持的力量

新学年伊始，我很庆幸能成为这个不断追求卓越的大家庭一员。我们的成长进步，不仅体现在校园硬件设施的升级，更体现在我们对学生身体、心智与精神的全面关怀。

新的操场和足球场已经为学生们带来了巨大改变。这些空间充满了活力、笑声与团队合作。除了锻炼身体，它们更为学生们提供了培养韧性、自信和社区归属感的机会。看到学生们在场地上勇敢挑战自我、在游戏中彼此分享快乐，我再次感受到运动在学习中的重要性。

与此同时，MIS正在积极拥抱创新，将包括人工智能在内的新技术融入教学。这些工具不仅为学生们未来的学习与生活做好准备，更激发了他们在当下的创造力和解决问题的能力。对教师而言，这也为课堂注入了新的可能性，让教学更有意义，更具启发性。

同样令人振奋的是，学校不断投入于教师的成长提升。专业发展项目帮助我们拓展教学实践、交流新思路，并带着新的视角回到课堂。这不仅提升了教学质量，也为学生树立了终身学习的榜样。

今年特别值得关注的是，MIS推出了全新的SOS系统，旨在支持学生的日常生活与学业进步。这一贴心的举措确保每个孩子都能得到关怀与引导，帮助他们自信地面对挑战，它体现了MIS对全人教育和全面支持的承诺。

在我的教学领域，正念与身心健康正在逐渐成为校园生活的重要部分。每月一次的小学部的瑜伽与正念日，让学生们能够停下脚步，反思并与自己建立连接。即使是年幼的孩子，也在学习情绪觉察，并逐渐以平和与善意的态度应对挑战。这些技能远远超越课堂，帮助他们以坚韧与同理心迎接生活。

踏入新学年，我为MIS所展现的平衡、创新与关怀而感到自豪。从新的设施和技术，到身心健康活动和学生支持体系，每一项发展都源自学校帮助学生全面成长的愿景。这种面向未来、充满能量的精神正是MIS的独特之处，我期待在这一年见证更多的精彩。

As a new semester begins at MIS, I feel grateful to be part of a community that is constantly evolving — not only in our facilities, but also in how we care for the whole child: body, mind, and spirit.

Our new playground and football pitch have already transformed student life. These spaces are alive with energy, laughter, and teamwork. Beyond physical exercise, they provide opportunities for students to develop resilience, confidence, and the joy of being part of a community. Watching students challenge themselves on the field or share moments of play reminds me why movement is such an essential part of learning.

At the same time, MIS is embracing innovation by integrating new technologies, including artificial intelligence, into our teaching and learning. These tools prepare our students for the future while also encouraging creativity and problem-solving in the present. For us as educators, they open new doors to engage students in ways that are both meaningful and inspiring.

Equally inspiring is the school’s investment in its teachers. Professional development programs ensure that we continue to grow in our practice, exchange new ideas, and return to our classrooms with fresh perspectives. In doing so, we model the lifelong learning that we hope to instill in every student.

A particularly exciting development this year is the introduction of the SOS system, designed to support students in both their daily lives and academic achievements. This thoughtful initiative ensures that every child feels guided and cared for, giving them the tools to navigate challenges with confidence. It reflects MIS’s deep commitment to providing not only excellent education, but also holistic support for every learner.

In my own subject area, mindfulness and well-being are becoming a more regular part of school life. Our monthly junior yoga and mindfulness days allow students to pause, reflect, and connect with themselves. Even the youngest learners are developing emotional awareness and learning to approach challenges with calm and kindness. These practices give them skills that extend far beyond the classroom, preparing them for life with resilience and empathy.

As we step into this academic year, I am proud to see MIS bringing together balance, innovation, and care. From new facilities and technologies to well-being programs and student support systems, every development is guided by a vision of helping each student thrive. That spirit of growth and community is what makes MIS so special, and I am excited for all that lies ahead.
