As we come to the end of a particularly challenging school year, it’s good to reflect again on some of our values. Underpinning everything we do here at ISQ, and at all our sister schools within the International Schools Consortium (iSC), is our commitment to transforming from the inside out. We’ve laid these values out in 9 qualities, called the “iSC9 Qualities”:

　　在這個特別具有挑戰(zhàn)性的青島MTI國際學(xué)校學(xué)年即將結(jié)束之際，很有必要再次省察我們的某些價值觀。ISQ以及國際學(xué)校聯(lián)盟(iSC)內(nèi)的所有姊妹學(xué)校所做的一切，都是基于我們對由內(nèi)而外成長轉(zhuǎn)變的承諾。我們把這些價值觀歸納為9種品質(zhì)，稱為“iSC9品質(zhì)”:

　　??? ?? ??? ?? ???? ??? ??, ??? ‘??’? ??? ? ?? ??? ???? ???. ?? ISQ ? iSC????? ?? ????? ???? ??? ?? ??? ???? ? ?? ??? ??? ? ??? ?????. ?? ???? ?? “iSC 9?? ??”? ???????.

　　3 of these values really came to the fore this last semester:

　　其中有3種價值觀，在這最后一個學(xué)期尤其被體現(xiàn)出來:

　　?? ??? ??? ?? ? ??? ??? ?? ?? ?? ? ?????.

　　Courage|勇氣|??

　　“I persist in thinking, inquiring, and discussing even in the presence of threat or fear.”

    We watched our students, teachers, and ISQ families approach this unprecedented time with bravery and courage. Our students stood up to uncertainty with courage and resilience, and we are convinced they have come out the other side stronger.

　　“即使面對威脅或恐懼，我也會堅持思考、探尋和討論?！?/p>

　　我們看到學(xué)生、老師和ISQ所有家庭勇敢地迎接這段時期里那些前所未有的挑戰(zhàn)。學(xué)生們滿有勇氣與靈活的面對現(xiàn)實中諸多的不確定性，我們相信他們逐步邁出的腳步會讓自己變得更加強大。

　　“?? ???? ???? ?? ?????? ????? ???? ???? ??? ????.”

　　??? ??, ??, ISQ ??????? ??? ???? ??? ?? ?? ? ??? ?? ?????. ???? ??? ??? ??? ???? ???? ?? ?????, ?? ?? ? ? ? ????? ??? ????.

　　Persistence|堅持|??

　　“I approach challenges with tenacity, creativity and thinking. I don’t give up.”

　　To witness our students and teachers, from grades PreK through 12, persist in their learning despite the challenges, the unfamiliarity, the creativity required, really underpinned this value. They didn’t give up, and their persistence paid off.

　　“我以堅韌、創(chuàng)造力和思考來迎接挑戰(zhàn)，不會放棄?！?/p>

　　我們見證了從幼兒園到12年級的師生們，在充滿了挑戰(zhàn)和不確定行的情況 下，堅持不懈地學(xué)習(xí)并展示其創(chuàng)造力，真正活出了這個品質(zhì)。他們沒有放棄，他們的堅持得到了回報。

　　“?? ???? ???? ?? ??? ???? ????; ???? ?? ????.”

　　??? ??, ??, ECC - 12?? ???? ??? ????? ???? ?? ???? ???? ?????? ??? ???????. ??? ???? ???? ? ??? ?? ??? ??????.

　　Purpose|目標|????

    “I strategically use the gifts and talents that I have to accomplish bigger purposes.”

　　Throughout everything that happened this past year, our students and teachers have remained committed to their purpose, never taking their eyes off the prize.

　　“我會有策略地利用我的天賦和才能來實現(xiàn)更大的目標?！?/p>

　　在過去的一年里，我們的學(xué)生和老師一直致力于實現(xiàn)他們的目標，從未偏離。

　　“?? ? ? ??? ??? ?? ?? ??? ??? ???? ??? ????.”

　　?? ???? ???? ?? ??? ???? ?? ?? ? ???? ????? ?? ?????.

　　Our Head of School, Ben Yap, summed it up well when he said, “We are thankful for the courage and ‘can do’ attitude of our students, parents, and teachers that has enabled us to see through to the end and finish the year with excellence and gratitude.”

　　ISQ校長 Ben Yap先生總結(jié)得很好，他說:“我們感謝學(xué)生、家長與老師們的勇氣和'我能做到'的心態(tài)，這種心態(tài)幫助我們順利渡過這段時間并以感恩的心來結(jié)束這一學(xué)年。”

　　?? ?? ???? Ben Yap???? ??? ?? ?????? “???? ????? ? ???? ??? ? ? ??? ??? ?? ??, ???? ??? ???? ??? ‘? ? ??’? ??? ??? ????.”

　　We are honored to be growing with the students and families of ISQ. Dolphins, you make us proud.

　　我們很榮幸能與ISQ學(xué)生及其家庭一起成長。ISQ的海豚，你們讓我們感到驕傲。
