The start of each school year is a happy time for us on Wanyuan Campus. Our student body is growing and we enjoy welcoming new students and welcoming back those who are returning. Student clubs are our priority this academic year. Owing to the passion and dedication of all staff members, we have more than 40 student clubs specializing in academia, sports and hobbies for students to choose from, where we help students thrive academically, personally and socially, and assist them in exploring their options on and off campus or even after graduation. One of the characteristic aspects of international education is to provide students with diversity courses that intentionally prepare them to be active and engaged participants in an interconnected world. Student clubs are a great way for students to get involved and make new friends. They often offer leadership opportunities, learning experiences, and environments to network with professionals.
秋意渐浓,原本冷清的校园渐渐热闹起来。本学年与以往不同,万源协和初中部整合校内外优质教学资源,在中外教师的大力支持下,推出了学术类、体育类、兴趣类等40多种综合选修课程供大家选择。综合选修课程是以社团形式开展的高选择性的教学活动,以“促进学生身心和谐发展”的理念为依据,以丰富学生课余生活,发展学生技能和素质,繁荣校园文化、营造主题性和谐校园环境为指导思想。一开学,同学们便得到了这个好消息,这让校园一下沸腾起来。
综合选修课程经过了前期的征集课程资源、合并筛选、场地分配等准备工作,本学期初开放了预览。当同学们看到第一期体育类和兴趣类38门课程时,内心抑制不住的激动,校园随处可见大家正在讨论选哪门课。终于在9月1日晚八点迎来了最激动人心的时刻——在线报名。同学们几乎全家出动,手机上不停地刷新着报名页面,生怕有一丝的耽误。八点一到,所有同学开始疯狂地点击抢课程序,一些热门课程瞬间秒完,大有淘宝双十一秒杀的劲头。初中部90%的同学几乎是在一分钟之内报名结束,接下来的几天是调整期,同学们还可以在第一次课结束后修改自己的意愿。
