Principal's Speech 

李明花校长

尊敬的老师们、亲爱的同学们：
　　大家早上好！带着对暑假生活的美好记忆，怀着对新学期新生活的美好向往，我们又回到了宁静的校园，欢聚一堂，并聚集在庄严的国旗下，进行新学期开学典礼，我和你们一样，心情是非常高兴的。
　　首先，我代表学校对老师们、同学们的表示热烈的欢迎。特别是一年级新的同学们和刚转到我校的插班生们，真心的欢迎你们加入这豫添大家庭里。
　　秋天是收获的季节，秋天从来都属于辛勤耕耘的人们。在刚刚过去的一学年里，全校师生齐心协力、辛勤工作、努力拼搏各方面都有了进步改变。
　亲爱的同学们，新的学期开始了，面对新学年新的任务、新的挑战，我们要更加努力。新学期中，我们每一位老师都怀着巨大的企盼期待着你们在阳光下健康快乐的成长，希望你们长得更高、变得更懂事。而你们，也一定会用自己的言行，让老师们由衷地感到，出现在他们面前的学生更可爱了。
　　俗话说：“良好的开端等于成功的一半。”新学期开学了，我相信同学们一定会满怀信心走向成功。怎样争取有一个良好的开端呢？在这里，我向同学们提议：
　　第一，树立一个爱心
　　我校的校训就是厚德博学，修己善群；愿我校的同学们先学会做人，成为爱二十一世纪地球所有公民的人；
　　第二，创立一种学风：努力阅读，喜欢阅读
　　新学期开始，我们要在全班创立一种优良的学习风气。特别是通过学习阅读树立我们正确的人生观价值观，并让我们每天成长。
　　第三，培养一个习惯：自觉自愿
　　学业进步，贵在自觉。我们要在老师的指引下，培养自己良好的行为习惯、学习习惯和生活习惯。同学们要自觉自愿遵守小学生守则和学校的规章制度，自觉养成良好的学习习惯和生活习惯。
　　第四，创设一个环境：文明有序
　　每个班级都是学校的缩影，每个学生都代表学校的形象，每寸校园都代表学校面貌，同学们要做到语言文明，行为文明，在校园内不乱丢杂物；不欺负小同学；在校外遵守交通规则；不进网吧、游戏厅；在家尊重父母。在社会，做一个爱国爱民、遵纪守法、诚实守信、文明礼貌的优秀小公民。
　　尊敬的老师们，我们肩上的责任关系着学生、家庭和社会的未来，只有以充满着无私和宽容的爱心投入工作，才能无愧于我们光荣的职业。我相信在充满爱的教师们的精心养育下豫添的孩子们会健康幸福快乐的成长。
　　老师们、同学们最后祝老师们在新的学期工作顺利，享受职业的幸福；祝同学们在新的学期里学习进步，在校园里感受童年的幸福和学习的快乐，为一生幸福奠基。

School Supervisor's Speech 

Ms Dorothy Pang 

Principal Li, teachers, colleagues, and students, 

Now we are a family. We are going to work together, hand in hand. 

First, we are going to build and make our school more comfortable and more beautiful. 

I think you have all noticed that the classrooms are newly painted, cleaner and more beautiful. Some even have different colours. Do you know who painted the walls? They were all done by teachers, our class teachers. They have put in a lot of effort designing, cleaning, and painting the walls, by their own hands. Some even invited friends and parents to do the painting. Let's give a big hand to our class teachers and others who have helped create bright, warm home rooms for you. They do this not for money, but purely out of love, love for you, dear students. I hope that you can learn to be as loving and caring as your teachers, and help make our school comfortable and beautiful with your ACTIONS. 

Second, we are going to help you develop your potentials- potentials in music, languages, sports, arts and dance. In this new term, we shall have enrichment classes. All these classes are to be held on Wednesday. I look forward to that each student will develop one interest or special area. At Christmas this year, we shall have an Open Day. On this day, visitors and parents will see your works in reading, math, sciences and arts. We shall have performances: dance, music, sports too. And we shall sing Christmas songs together. We shall have a lot of joy in learning, and a lot of joy in sharing with others our good work. 

Third, we shall learn to help our community better. On 25 August, a group of Yu Tim teachers walked around the surroundings of our school campus. We found a lot of road safety problems. There are no signage reminding drivers to slow down near our school. There are no sidewalks for pedestrians. There are no cycling trail for bicycles. There are neither white lines on road surface to separate traffic. Teachers made several suggestions. We shall use the information collected and propose to the landlord how to improve the safety of this place. Students, I shall be very happy if you can start paying more attention to the community, find out the needs, and suggest improvements. We pay attention to the community, purely for love of the place. We love peace and we want peace to sustain here. 

 Today I am very happy to speak to you. This is the first occasion for me to speak to students in the position of a school supervisor. I am very thankful to Mr. Stephen Chan, owner of T &S China, and Chief Executive of Chan Yu Tim Charity Fund, for the trust he put in me in managing the school for Chan Yu Tim Charity Fund. I am very thankful to Principal Li for her support to my new duties. We have become spiritual and professional partners. Last but not the least, I have to express my deepest gratitude to our teachers, the English team who have been working closely with me since February and many others who have helped me and supported me. Indeed I feel very honored to be here, and be a member of Yu Tim. I shall try my best to work together with Principal Li and colleagues in providing excellent education service for children in this school and the community. 

May blessings be always with us. Thank you. 

李校長, 老師們, 同學們：

加入了豫添大家庭, 我和大家携手並進。

首先,我 們一同建設校園, 讓校園更舒服,更美麗。 同學們已經留意到課室新涮的牆明亮整潔, 有些還有藍色、黃色、粉紅色。你們 知道是誰為你們涮牆嗎? 全是你們的班主任，親自動手設計, 油漆。有些班主任還 邀請了家人、舊同學和朋友來協助呢。 班主任這樣付出,不是為了賺錢, 他們一毛 錢也沒有拿, 乃是出於愛, 單純的愛。 每個課室就是一個家。 為了你們有一個舒 適的家, 班主任和老師默默地付出了汗水和时间。我期望你們學習班主任和老師這種愛心, 奉獻的精神。用行動一起把校園建設成為舒適又美麗的家。

第二, 我們會幫助同學發展潛能。在音樂、語文、 運動、藝術、舞蹈的潛能。在新學年, 我們每周三，有些級別開始舉辦第二課堂活動。期望每一位同學能夠 找到自己的興趣和專長。

本年聖誕節, 學校将舉辦開放日。 家長和來訪嘉賓會考查同學們的生命閱讀、數學、科學和美術功課； 欣賞你們的舞蹈, 音樂, 體育的表演。我們还會一齊唱聖誕歌。未來一年, 我們會經歷學習的喜樂, 也將會經歷與人分享自己學習成果的喜樂。

第三, 我們會一起幫助改善我們的社區。在八月二十五日,一組豫添的老師在校 園外考察道路安全。發現了潛在安全隱患。首先學校周邊 500 米完全沒有「學校 範圍減速行駛」交通標誌。馬路兩旁欠缺行人路, 也沒有自行車道, 車路中間也 沒有雙白線分隔車輛, 對行人、 自行車使用者和駕駛者都是安全隱患。老師們都 提出了建議。我們會把建議交給政府有關部門及利氏工業園區業主, 協助改善設施, 確保同學們和老師的安全。我們關心社區, 因為我們愛這個地方, 我們为社區平安而努力。

今天我非常開心能夠和你們分享。這是我第一次以校監的身份和同學講話。 我 非常感謝陳元登總裁給我機會代表陳豫添慈善基金管理豫添小學。我非常感謝李明花校長支持我的新工作。我們成為屬靈和專業的伙伴。

我更要多謝我們的老師, 尤其是英語老師。由二月開始一直幫助我, 支持我。我 覺得在豫添小學工作很光榮。我會竭盡所能和李校長和老師們一起為同學們提供 卓越的教育服務。

願我們天天經歷恩典和福氣,謝謝!
