佛山ASJ全体教职工大会：凝心聚力启新程，共筑湾区教育新标杆

大会在赖永春总督学的线上致辞中正式启幕。他首先对新加入的教师表示诚挚欢迎，并强调教育者言行对学生成长的深远影响，鼓励全体教师以身立教，在日常教学中推动学生掌握“两文三语”，夯实跨文化沟通的语言基础。

赖总督学还指出，面对新时代教育的发展趋势，教师应积极关注人工智能等前沿技术，将其有机融入教学，提升课堂效能。同时，要共同营造轻松愉悦的学习氛围，使校园成为学生探索世界、快乐成长的天地。

The meeting began with an online address by Martin Lai, the Chief Inspector of Education. He first extended a warm welcome to the newly joined teachers and emphasized the profound influence of educators' words and actions on students' growth. He encouraged all teachers to lead by example and promote students' mastery of “bi-literacy and tri-lingualism” in their daily teaching, thereby laying a solid foundation for cross-cultural communication.

He also pointed out that in the face of new trends in education, teachers should actively pay attention to cutting-edge technologies such as AI and organically integrate them into teaching to enhance classroom efficiency. At the same time, they should work together to create a relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere, making the campus a place where students can explore the world and grow up happily.

“What the school success means each student continuously improve and achieve what they are pursuing for”—this educational philosophy ran throughout the conference. Principal Zhang Ye began with the questions “Who are we?” and “What do we do?” to outline the development plan for the new academic year. She acknowledged that the school has now entered a critical phase of shaping its unique characteristics, enhancing quality, and building its reputation. To this end, the school has optimized its organizational structure in the new academic year, infusing the school leadership team with vitality through diverse experiences. Additionally, to strengthen the transition between educational stages, the school has optimized departmental management, established interdisciplinary groups, and promoted the evolution of classrooms from single-subject teaching to integrated and expanded learning. It is also deeply exploring the organic integration of national curriculum and HKDSE curriculum, ensuring that every educational insight shines through collaboration.

In terms of development planning, Principal Christine clearly outlined the objectives and tasks for the new academic year—deepening the construction of “school culture, learning culture, and educational culture”—and identified these as the core elements for shaping the school's brand reputation. Regarding student development, she innovatively proposed the “no one left behind” educational initiative, emphasizing the need to establish clear pathways and a comprehensive student support system. This includes developing cross-grade level cultivation plans from 6th to 12th grade, combining precise course customization with personalized guidance to help each student find their own growth anchor and achieve all-round development.

在教学工作上，佛山暨大港澳子弟学校将继续深耕“以香港课程为核心，融合IB理念”的特色课程体系，构建“可循环教育生态环境”，通过“课程规划与纵向教学一体化”战略，为学生提供12年连贯性教育体验。

教师成长方面，新学年还将启动“教师队伍建设计划”，通过培养体系的构建与多元激励机制的实施，为每位教师打造合适的发展路径，帮助他们激发教育教学活力。

In terms of teaching, Foshan ASJ will continue to focus on its distinctive curriculum system, which centers on the Hong Kong curriculum and integrates IB concepts, to build a “recyclable educational ecosystem.” Through a strategy of “curriculum planning and vertical teaching integration,” the school will provide students with a 12-year continuous educational experience.

In terms of teacher development, the new academic year will also launch a “Teacher Development Program.” By establishing a training system and implementing diverse incentive mechanisms, the program will create tailored development pathways for each teacher, helping them to enhance their educational and teaching vitality.

Vice Principal Lin Peiyi's speech focused on teamwork and inclusive support in campus culture building, providing us with a profound explanation of the importance of team spirit in education.

She pointed out: “At ASJ, a group of people is not merely a collection of individuals divided by job roles; it is a team united by a shared vision and common goals.” This statement profoundly reveals the essence of the Foshan ASJ learner community—here, each member is not an isolated individual but part of a collective bound together by shared educational ideals and goals. Mutual tolerance transforms differences into strengths, mutual respect fosters a harmonious atmosphere, and sincere support provides the team with an endless source of motivation to move forward.

Vice Principal Lin Peiyi provided a vivid illustration using the growth and transformation of the first cohort of DSE students as an example. These students had previously gone through a phase of “confusion” and faced numerous challenges in their learning and development. However, through the collaborative efforts of the academic department, the moral education department, the admissions department, and the principal's team, a clear development path was established for the students. The combined efforts of these departments ultimately facilitated significant growth among this group of students, with many securing admissions to the top three universities in Hong Kong. This also strongly demonstrates the critical role of cross-departmental collaboration in the students' growth process, fully showcasing the immense power inherent in a team culture of inclusivity, respect, and support.

Vice Principal Elaine brought exciting news about university admissions. The Class of 2025 at Foshan ASJ delivered an impressive set of results: among the 25 DSE candidates, 52% met the admission requirements of Hong Kong's top three universities, and 80% were admitted to the top eight universities in Hong Kong and mainland universities ranked 211 or higher. Behind these figures lies the unwavering commitment of every educator at the school to empower students' growth through professional expertise and illuminate their future paths with care and support.

为进一步提升师生的校园幸福感，学校硬件设施升级工程正稳步推进，为师生成长保驾护航。汤凌艳副校长介绍，新学年多项设施将迎来显著提升：健身房、游泳池及新餐厅将在国庆假期后陆续投入使用；校车服务网络也将大幅扩展，新增多条周末线路，便捷连通广佛两地多个交通枢纽，为师生出行提供更多便利。

To further enhance the sense of well-being on campus for teachers and students, the school's hardware facility upgrade project is progressing steadily, providing a solid foundation for the growth and development of both. Vice Principal Elaine noted that several facilities will see significant improvements in the new academic year: the gym, swimming pool, and new dining hall will be put into use one after another following the National Day holiday; the school bus service network will also be significantly expanded, with new weekend routes added to provide convenient connections between multiple transportation hubs in Guangzhou and Foshan, offering greater convenience for teachers and students' commuting needs.

At the meeting, SMT representatives and teacher representatives also shared their insights from the perspectives of “educational warmth” and “new teacher growth,” emphasizing the importance of upholding the original mission of education in daily teaching, drawing strength for growth from mutual support among colleagues, and ensuring that the work culture of “dedication, professionalism, and career commitment” takes root and flourishes.

大湾区的教育沃土孕育着无限可能，在即将到来的新学年里，这些在大会上凝聚的教育共识，终将化作学生成长路上的坚定托举。

佛山暨大港澳子弟学校也将用热爱点燃教育的火种，用协作汇聚前行的力量，用专业铸就育人的丰碑，向着更辽阔的教育远方，步履坚定地走向新程。

The fertile educational soil of the Greater Bay Area holds endless possibilities. In the upcoming new academic year, the educational consensus reached at this conference will ultimately become a solid foundation for students' growth.

Foshan ASJl will also use passion to ignite the spark of education, collaboration to gather the strength to move forward, and professionalism to build a monument to education, striding confidently toward a broader educational future.
