昨日，我們在笑聲與淚水中送別幼兒園大班小朋友，今天我們在祝福與欣慰的掌聲中和十二年級畢業(yè)生賀一聲：畢業(yè)了！道一句：再見了！

　　Yesterday, we bid farewell to our kindergarten kids amidst laughter and tears, and today we held the Graduation Ceremony for our 12th graders, also with blessings and joyful applause. To our graduates: congratulations and farewell!

　　2020年是一個極其特殊的年份，許多人的人生在這一年被永久地改變了。而對福州西湖國際學校的畢業(yè)生們而言，這一年也是他們?nèi)松欣锍瘫愕囊徽?。八位高中畢業(yè)生將在這意義非凡的一年里由中學邁向大學，追逐屬于自己的星辰大海！

　　The year 2020 is a very special year in which many lives were changed forever. And for the graduates of FLIS, this year is also a milestone in their lives. Eight high school graduates will spend this meaningful year moving from high school to college, pursuing their own dreams!

　　FLIS始終以尊重學生的個性化發(fā)展為教育理念。今年畢業(yè)季的主題為「敢耀」：一片影，何以成為一道光？一個曾自卑、膽怯的孩子，如何變得開朗自信？原來，是敢于做自己讓我們成了最閃耀的那道光。大家欣慰地看到這些年里，F(xiàn)LIS大家庭的孩子們逐漸蛻變，通過不懈學習打下堅實的學術(shù)基礎(chǔ)，在熱愛的世界里找到自信、變得耀眼無比。八位畢業(yè)生不僅在各類校園活動舞臺上享受青春，也紛紛收獲來自歐洲、北美、澳洲的名校錄取通知書。FLIS以他們?yōu)榘粒?/p>

　　At FLIS, we always respect the individuality of our students. The theme for this year's graduation season is "Dare to Shine". How does a shadow become a light? How does a child who once had low self-esteem and shyness become cheerful and confident? It turns out that "to shine your brightest light is to be who you truly are." It is gratifying to see that the children of the FLIS family have been transformed over the years. They have built a solid academic foundation through their tireless learning, and they find confidence and shine in a world they love. The eight graduates have not only enjoyed their youth on the stage of various campus activities, but have also received admission notices from famous universities in Europe, North America, and Australia. FLIS is so proud of them!

　　典禮上，F(xiàn)LIS總裁邱吉源先生與中學部校長Samuel Rowe先生均為畢業(yè)生致辭，動人至深。Cindy作為畢業(yè)生代表上臺發(fā)表畢業(yè)感言，藝術(shù)部的兩位老師亦為大家獻上一曲四手聯(lián)彈。此外，十年級的Jessica同學更為大家表演歌曲Girl in the mirror, 祝愿畢業(yè)生在未來的日子里“昂首闊步，萬丈光芒”！

　　During the ceremony, Mr. Jerry Chiu, President of FLIS, and Mr. Samuel Rowe, Secondary Principal, addressed the graduates. Cindy, as the representative of the graduates, gave a speech on stage, and two teachers from the art department performed a song for the audience. In addition, Jessica from Grade 10 performed a song called “Girl in the mirror”. To all the graduates we would like to say, as the song says: "You got that swagger, you got that glow!"

　　典禮結(jié)束，當日午后，為慶祝2020畢業(yè)季，F(xiàn)LIS還舉辦了兩場音樂演出。首先登場的James同學曾于去年在校內(nèi)舉辦單人音樂演奏會，在今天的演出中，他為觀眾連續(xù)演奏多曲曼妙悠遠的古典樂，也慷慨分享了學習古典樂的經(jīng)驗。之后，F(xiàn)LIS演出舞臺上的大明星，F(xiàn)LIS Band閃亮登場！自2017年末首次登臺，幾年來FLIS Band創(chuàng)造了無數(shù)精彩舞臺，隨著主唱Jeffrey同學畢業(yè), FLIS樂隊也將進入下一個時代。此次告別演出，樂隊全員毫無保留地貢獻了一首接一首經(jīng)典曲目，臺下亦歡呼不止。

　　After the ceremony, FLIS also hosted two music concerts that afternoon to celebrate the 2020 graduation season. James, who had held a solo concert at FLIS last year, came first. In today's performance, he played a variety of classical music and generously shared his experience of learning classical music. Afterwards, the big star of the FLIS stage, the FLIS Band, shone on stage! Since their debut in late 2017, the FLIS Band has created numerous exciting performances over the years, and with the lead singer Jeffrey graduating, it was time for this cast of the band to say goodbye. During this farewell performance, we saw the entire band unreservedly contribute one classic song after another, and the audience cheered feverishly.

　　最后，感謝每一位家長選擇FLIS，讓我們有機會在教育之路上陪孩子們一程。聚是一團火，散是滿天星，愿FLIS畢業(yè)生在離開西湖后的每一天，依然心懷熱愛，敢于追夢，去往更大的舞臺，讓更多人見證你們的光彩！

　　Thank you parents for choosing FLIS and giving us the opportunity to accompany your children on their educational journey. We hope that FLIS graduates will continue to have love in their hearts and dare to pursue their dreams every single day after graduating from our school. Go to a bigger stage and let more people see you shine!
