As we cast off the dreary summer heat and embrace bright autumn winds, SSBS welcomed students to their brand new start with the opening ceremony. The school invited Secretary Hu Qingtian of the General Party Branch, Teaching Director of Middle School Department Zheng Shengjie, and Deputy Teaching Director Wu Lele to attend the ceremony, and a round of applause celebrated their arrival. After Mr. Chen Bowen, the host of the ceremony, did a brief introduction and warmly welcomed the students, the students stood up and solemnly saluted the Five-Star Red Flag.

       After the salute, the student representatives for each grade genuinely expressed their personal reflections on how students should improve their academic abilities and how to smoothly adapt to the changing academic environment. Firstly, Louie from 7-2 informed students on how to become a better student in the coming semester, and gave personal experience for students to refer to and reflect on.

        Secondly, Joyce from 8-6 talked about managing time in an academic environment that required high amounts of efficiency, and how connecting the burden of improving academic abilities to hobbies would greatly lighten the load.  

To sum up the previous speakers' speech, Henry from 9-1 introduced his studying method of W.W.W—world, will, and way, inspiring students on the basics of improving their general abilities, and helping them in the future semester.

In the third section, Ms. Ji Siyuan humorously referred to the student's school life as opening blind boxes. In her speech, three major themes were built: how life is made colourful because of unpredictability; progress should be valued more than the results; a valuable life is only given to those who value it. 

Meanwhile, Ms. Stacie also introduced the challenges and evolutions that one can expect in the coming school years through the story of a single student named Benji, and explained the expectations for all students in their brand new semester.

Finally, students from G5 to G9 were presented with their awards, a crystal condensed from their hard work, as the opening ceremony ended.

The SSBS opening ceremony has given the students a guide to the upcoming semester, and best wishes to every student to lead a fantastic semester ahead!
