嘉宾演讲

在此，京领独家放送上海新加坡外籍人员子女学校总校长David Shirley的精彩演讲，以飨读者。

以下是David Shirley校长的演讲内容：

欢迎来到上海新加坡外籍人员子女学校，我是总校长David Shirley，感谢您和我一起参加京领诺奖创新论坛。我在加入SSIS之前，已拥有长达近30年的教育领域经验。在过去的15年里，我曾在中国香港、北京和上海担任国际学校的领导工作。我热衷于培养学生成为具有创造性的思想者和全球未来领导者。

一

二十五年深耕教育，

卓越育人渗入点滴

Winter Paralympic Games

SSIS创校已达25年之久，现在我们有1200名学生。我校一直以来在数学、体育和领导力方面为中国顶尖的国际学校，我们为我们的学生和家庭提供严格且独一无二的一贯制课程体系，发展学生全面且平衡的技能。同时,我们是一个充满关爱、以家庭为导向的社区。

我们的理念非常简单，但我看到它每一天都在发挥作用。我们的学生足智多谋，他们在沟通方面充满自信，并且，这些孩子都很独立。我相信当我们的学生在12年级毕业时，他们将会成为未来的世界领导者。

现在，我想和您分享一段关于我们学校的视频：

卓越是什么？

世界骤变，人类与环境的关联也一再改变。关于教育，卓越不再仅代表成绩优异，更不止于课堂，而是面对多变的未来做好准备。

在这里，卓越是关于播种梦想，也是关于美好的成长。卓越是不断求知，是点燃热情，更是突破创新。卓越是我坚持自己的独特个性，也是我不受局限的国际视野。卓越是培养我的个人修养，也是练就自己应变环境的速度。卓越是永不放弃，是命中目标，是挑战极限。卓越是拥有健康的身体和心理，更是拥有一颗关爱世界的心。

这是我们追求的卓越，准备好成为世界的未来领袖。

在SSIS，我们对学生有很高的期许，并希望能实现我们预期的教育成果。我们期望他们成为未来的世界领导者，秉承坚强的意志和对人类的关爱，更是一名终身学习者。

为了支持这一想法，我们将这三个领域分为这些组成部分：

每一天，我都能看到我们的学生和教职员工相互关心、相互尊重地沟通及互动。我们也知道，每个学生的人格与品德发展至关重要，每个孩子都是独一无二的。我们希望可以培养他们具备健全的品德，有原则、有韧性，并且在他们的学习和生活中体现勇气。

培养学生具备终身学习的品质是学校的一项重要使命，我们需要帮助学生成为反思型思考者。我们需要向他们提出更深入的问题并进行探究，我们也希望他们能够创新，并且成为学习环境的共同创造者。能够做到这一点，则会取得神奇的成效。

二

四大卓越支柱，

耀眼育人成果

Winter Paralympic Games

SSIS预期的教育成果包含四大卓越支柱。我们学术方面取得成就非常重要。在过去的25年里，我们已经开发了严格和全面的学术课程，来支持我们的学生在学业方面追求卓越。

不仅如此，对我们来说学生的领导力和人格培养都至关重要。每一天，我们所有的学生，甚至我们年纪最小的学习者，都有机会成为他们自己和朋友们的领导者。

创造力和创新力是未来成功的关键，我们为孩子们提供丰富多彩的平台，让他们有机会在解决问题的过程中展示他们的创造性思维。他们可以在解决方案上进行创新，并相互分享学习过程中收获的快乐和喜悦。

卓越的核心是全人的身心健康。我们知道，当一个孩子在学习环境中得到支持和关爱，并且可以积极参与互动时，他的学术潜力就会得到大力发展。

年复一年，我们为学生们取得的学术成果感到自豪。以下是2021年IBDP和IGCSE的成绩：

我们非常幸运，有几位学生获得了IB满分的成绩，我们也同样为我们所有学生取得的成就，以及为他们对待学习的态度感到高兴和自豪。我们的老师为学生的学习生涯增加了宝贵的价值，他们共同努力来实现目标。

我非常自豪地宣布，通过不懈努力，我们的学生在12年级毕业时都有机会进入世界各地的知名大学。我们也为能够在学生的升学道路上为他们的家庭提供支持和辅导而感到非常自豪。

三

打造优质课程，

建立家校合作

Winter Paralympic Games

让您的孩子从很小就开始为成功做好充分准备，甚至可以从两岁就开始。为了支持他们的学习之旅，我们开发并设计了一套完整的无缝衔接的课程体系，以此让不同年龄段的学生得以发展。我们以新加坡课程体系为起点打造学生的学习计划，我们还采用探究式教学法，让孩子们自己探索和解决问题，并让他们的兴趣爱好得到更深层次的发掘。

我们的小学课程以新加坡数学和科学为基础，英语方面则使用了剑桥英语课程体系，这为他们进入中学后的下一步旅程提供了支持。7年级和8年级的学生将学习为期两年的剑桥国际初中CLSP课程，以便更好地衔接9、10年级更为严谨的IGCSE课程。他们将通过IGCSE课程获得深层次知识，为顺利进入IBDP课程学习奠定了坚实的基础。学生和老师一起努力磨练自己的优势，深入挖掘自己选择的科目。

我谨代表SSIS社区邀请您成为我们社区的一员。我们引以为傲的另外一方面是与家长发展紧密牢固的关系。我们知道只有当家校之间是一种伙伴关系，才能够为孩子们提供最好的学习体验，因此，与家长建立积极稳固的关系至关重要。我们会定期征求家长的反馈意见，也很高兴他们年复一年的回应。

家长选择我们的一些主要原因是：我们对全人教育的重要性有非常好的理解；我们知道学术是重要的，但它不是唯一的因素；我们可以确保培养孩子全面发展，确保孩子成为一个有原则，并对世界的未来充满热忱的年轻人。

我们的家长选择我们的另外一个因素也是因为我们的教学方法。他们相信探究式的学习对学生非常有帮助，通过探究式教学方法，我们的学生将现实世界与他们在课堂上所学的知识联系起来。

我们的家校合作关系是非常紧密的，我们有活跃的家委会并与他们定期见面。家长的反馈是非常重要的，我们的家长也喜欢参与其中。

我们采用的新加坡课程为学生打下了非常坚实的基础。众所周知，新加坡的课程体系以良好的实践研究为基础。

家长选择我们的另一个原因是独特的中文和中国文化课程。我们的学生和教职员工都非常了解培养对多元文化认知的重要性。

非常感谢您今天的参与，我希望很快能与您见面。

English Version

Welcome to Shanghai Singapore International School. My name is David Shirley and I'm the head of the school. Thank you for joining me at the KingLead Nobel Innovation Forum. I come to SSIS with nearly 30 years of educational experience. And to the last 15 years, I've had the opportunity to lead international schools in Hong Kong, Beijing, and now in Shanghai. I'm passionate at developing all of our full-child learners to be creative thinkers and future leaders of a global community.

25 Years' Cultivation

of Excellence

Winter Paralympic Games

SSIS is now in its 25th year of operation. Now, we probably have a student body of around 1,200 students. We consistently rank in the Top 8 International School in China, in mathematics, sports, and leadership. We offer our students and our families a rigorous and one-of-its-kind curriculum pathway to develop these skills. We are well balanced and approached, and we are caring family in our entitled community.

Our philosophy is quite simple, but I see it living each and every single day. Our students are resourceful, they are confident in the way they communicate with each other, and they are independent kids. I'm confident when our children graduate in grade 12, they will be future global leaders.

Right now, I'd like you to watch a short video about our amazing school.

What is excellence?

Our world is transforming ever so rapidly, so is the way we live and work. Learning matters beyond the grades achieved, learning happens beyond the walls of the classroom. So think about this: how do we future-proof our next generation of learners to thrive in this new state of unpredictability?

Here at SSIS, excellence is about planting the seed of my dreams to care for these seeds so that they sprout and flourish. Excellent is about lifelong spring passions and thinking creatively outside of the office. Excellence is having the courage to be me and embrace the world to the lens of a global citizen. Excellence is about cultivating my personal values as I adapted to a piece of change around me. Excellence is about never giving up even undergoing gets tough, being focused on my goal, and stretching the boundaries of my potential. Excellence is about wellness and body, mind and soul, while always having a heart for humanity.

This is the excellence we are thriving, we are all becoming future global leaders.

We have grand dreams for our students here at SSIS. The outcomes we want them all to achieve are we want them to be future global leaders with the strength of character and always displaying a love for humanity and the caring nature towards others. To support this idea, we've broken down these three areas into these components:

Each and every day, I see my students and my staff show compassion towards each other. They effectively communicate and respectfully interact with one and another. We also know it is important to develop everyone's character here at SSIS. Every child and every learner is unique, we want them to develop a character that is well principled, balanced, and have the opportunities to show resilience and take the courage in their learning, in their life.

Lifelong learning is a mission for all schools. We need to support our students, so they become reflective thinkers. We need to ask deeper questions and inquire, we also want them to innovate and become co-creators of their learning environment. When this happens, magic happens in along.

Outcomes of Four Pillars

of Excellence

Winter Paralympic Games

Just put these outcomes and desired ones for SSIS, we had four pillars of excellence. Academic excellence is very important to us. Over the last 25 years, we've developed rigorous and well-rounded academic programs that support our learners.

Leadership and character opportunities are vital for their success. Each and every day, all of our students, even our youngest learners, have the opportunity to be leaders for themselves and their friends.

Creativity and innovation are the keys for future success. We offer amazing opportunities where our children can show their creative thinking in the way they solve problems, and also to innovate on solutions, and share a lot of joy in learning with each other.

At the heart of this excellence is holistic wellbeing. We know when a child feels supported, engaged, and loved in a learning environment, their academic potential will flush.

Year on year, we adore lighted without academic results. Here are the 2021 IB and IGCSE results.

We were very fortunate yet to get some perfect scores, but also just as delighted and proud of all of our students in the way which they approach their learning. Our teachers add value to their learning, and together they work to achieve their goals.

By working hard, we are also lucky and very proud to announce that each year, our students graduating in grade 12 have the opportunity to enter many well-known universities throughout the world. We're also very proud of the way which we help support and guide our students and families on that journey.

The Quality Curriculum and

Home-school Partnership

Winter Paralympic Games

Setting your child up for success, starts from a very young age, even from the age of two. And to support them on this journey, we've developed and designed a seamless curriculum pathway to support all learners at the age of development.

We start our learning program using the Singapore framework for teaching and learning. We also use an inquiry-based approach where children can investigate and solve their own problems and look deeper into their interests.

Our primary school curriculum is based on Singapore maths and science, and supported English development through Cambridge. This supports the next step of the journey when they enter into our senior school. In grade seven and grade eight, take on the Cambridge Lower Secondary Program, this supports them well under the transition into the IGCSE program, which becomes more rigorous and involved. This understanding in deeper knowledge that they gained through the IGCSE really sets them for the IBDP. Our students and teachers work together to hone their strengths and dig deeper into their subjects of choice.

On behalf of the SSIS community, I'd like to invite you to be a part of our community as well. One of the things we are proud of is developing strong relationships with our parents, because we understand it is a partnership, and if we need to serve our students in the best way, we need to make sure we have positive relationships with our parent community. One of the things we always do is ask for feedback and we'd like to hear their response year on year.

Some of the main reasons why parents choose us are we have a really good understanding at the importance of holistic education. We know academic is important, but it's not the only thing. We need to make sure we develop the whole child to make sure we developed a principled young adult who's ready to take on the world.

Our parents also choose us because of our approach to our teaching and learning. They truly believe it's important to help our students inquire, and through an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning, our students make connections with the real world to what they learning in the classroom.

Our home-school partnership is very strong. We have an active parents support group, and we meet with them on a regular basis. This feedback is very important and our parents love being involved.

Our Singapore-based curriculum gives our students a very strong foundation. A Singapore-based curriculum is also well known, it's based on good research in good practice.

Another reason why our parents choose us is because our focus on our unique Chinese language and Chinese cultural program. Our students understand the importance of developing an understanding of this culture, but also our staff do as well.

Thank you very much for listening today and I hope to see you all face to face very soon.
