In the new academic year, ECE has made new attempts in community environment creation. The overall community environment is more open, and teachers have equipped the community with many open activity resources, as well as different learning exploration areas designed according to YCYW's 12 Values. These changes will better guide children to actively participate in different exploration activities. At the same time, this year's ECE has unlocked new Western teachers - Mr. Walton and Mr. Benson. The addition of new faces is bound to bring more interesting stories to the learning community. On the Orientation Day, the teachers of the ECE specially gave tips to the children for the new academic year: "To better unlock the new academic year, we hope that every child will bring their passion for learning and read more books with us. At the same time, we also hope that children will have an open mindset, just like today, where they get to know each other, become each other's partners, and in the future, collide, explore, and learn more."

As the school staff were busy preparing for the new academic year, we received a lot of feedback from parents - 'The children can't wait to start school!' Looking at the excited and curious faces of the children during the ice-breaking activities, we truly felt their longing for the school, teachers, and classmates. Our returning students have a strong sense of ownership and enthusiastically introduce the school's facilities and various fun activities to new classmates. They can't wait to share their favorite things and people at school with their new friends. Our Primary Coordinator, Mr. Winfield, also has his expectations and wishes for the new academic year: "The secret to unlocking the new academic year lies in having the courage of an adventurer. This year, Primary has rich practical projects, and we hope that children will not be afraid of failure and try every possibility. At the same time, we also hope that students are ready to listen to different voices, absorb different ideas, discover a bigger world, and touch their infinite possibilities."

Secondary students also expressed their ambitious goals for unlocking the new academic year. Lisa, a G9 student, said, "I have already set my goals for this academic year and started preparing during the summer vacation. I hope to persist in completing different learning tasks while always focusing on my goals. "Ms. Wang, our new Secondary Coordinator, also shared her plans for the new academic year: "In the new academic year, we will continue to focus on the personalized growth of each student. In addition to daily academic training, we will help students unlock more soft power. There will be a Social Emotional Learning-related course in the new academic year to help students cultivate a mindset and ability to face and solve problems, while also to help them understand how to express their emotions when conflicts and contradictions arise."

On the Orientation Day, students unlocked happiness on the campus, nutrition in the cafeteria, and friends in the classroom, starting a new journey. Facing new changes and surprises, education and change happen in every corner of the school. Looking at the happy silhouettes, let us look forward to every day to come.
