海嘉国际双语学校活动点燃HOUSE团队精神

　　喜欢《哈利波特》的你一定对魔法学院的分院帽印象深刻。戴上帽子的那一刻，它就能根据每个学生的情况将学生分配到不同的学院，开启他们不同的魔法人生。

　　在海嘉每个House都有自己的名称、颜色和释义属性。学生和老师在进入学校时会根据语言、文化背景、男女比例平均分配到各个旗队中，除了学术课程以外，学部每周会举行一次House活动，另外学校运动比赛和大型活动也都会以学院为单位开展。每个学院都有自己有别于其他学院鲜明的特点，从不同的方面帮助学生提升自我意识，培养学生的团队协作能力及领导力，增强学生的归属感，荣誉感及相互鼓励的意识。

　　海嘉结合中西方的教育理念，将中国优秀传统文化与国际化的教育相融合，创造和谐共享的集体。海嘉House名取自中国儒家文化的五常，并有其特殊的内涵。

　　学院制管理在这点上跳脱出了横向的年级划分，多了一个纵向的维度，学生在入学之初依据各自的特点被分到不同的House体系中。不同年龄的孩子也有可能分到同一个学院，一起“为荣誉而战”。而在这一周别开生面的Spirit Week文化周中，我们以合作取代竞争，以分享、支持的形式，共同感受House的多元文化。

　　在这一周，没有竞争，只有合作、支持和温暖！

　　一方面，我们倡导对他人乃至所有生命有一种体恤、关怀、慈柔之心，通过付出自己的财物、资源、才干、时间等，助其减轻苦痛、增进安乐，反对暴力、呼唤和平；另一方面，也意味着我们应该对“人”这种具备高度智慧与爱心潜能的生命体树立一种健康的自我意识，认识到人之心地所能拓展出的智慧和博爱的无限可能性。

　　德义组首先关注的是助人受益的义。助人行为发乎于情，义卖、义演、义诊、义工无不渗透着爱的情怀；义也是处世适宜的义，做事有理有则，从而营造更美好的人类家园。关注弱势群体，倡导善行善举，也是从义出发，从小培养学生正确的是非观、价值观、财富观。

　　我们在日常生活中以“爱的序位”来展现“礼”。人际交往之间存在尊礼的序位，面对父辈、师长时，应知序而有礼。序位之别，代表着我们所扮演的社会角色不同。不论是老师对学生、家长对孩子，或其他关系，上下都和谐于爱的序位，对彼此关爱体贴；除此外，礼还是一种行止有度的行为素养，在不同的场合举止适宜、懂得自律，“嘉言懿行”成就彬彬君子。

　　我们鼓励大家要有自信、自励的精神，坚信可以通过自己的努力而有所成就。通过回顾历史伟人的心行事迹，我们懂得敬重先人的成就，仰慕人生的真理。人类的智慧和博爱可无限扩展，要勤学笃行、坚持不懈，创建卓越充实的人生。

　　精彩时刻

　　在沟通交流时，我们应重信守诺；在行事为人时，我们富有责任。每一个人都应具备诚实、仁爱、谦卑和包容的品质。我们应善于发现他人的优点，不吝赞美和激励。通过这样的方式，从而为自己和他人都营造一个坚强牢固、健康阳光的心理空间。

　　契合海嘉国际精神周“仁义礼智信”的教学理念，传承文化经典。小学一至五年级道德与法制课程将每天开展不同的活动主题，以绘画、书签、剪纸等多种形式的作品呈现House的文化特色。

　　Spirit Week活动充发挥学生的自主性，愉快的一周，孩子们用自己喜欢的方式，去传递快乐，践行House精神。“俏皮”的老师也不甘寂寞，加入其中。中国学术与西方旗队并融，使海嘉House体系更为坚实有力，更富于民族性，也更具有开阔性。

　　而最重要的是，他们通过彼此的支持，成为一个更大的集体。因为拥有彼此，我们成为更加美好的集体！

　　On one hand, we show compassion, care, kindness, and gentleness to others and all living creatures. By devoting our finances, resources, skills, and time we stand against violence and call for peace. On the other hand, this means we should establish a healthy self-awareness of what it is to be a "human being," a living life that possesses intellectual wisdom and abundant potential of giving love.

　　The first focus of our House is to help others. The idea of one’s helpful actions starts from having a loving heart. For example, hosting a charity event or volunteer work for those in need. We understand it is also about conducting oneself in society with strong principles for the betterment of human kind. For example, do not engage in unjust actions or seek to bring harm to another. From the two perspectives of our House, we can differentiate right from wrong and have correct value of life and fortune.

　　We embody "an order of love" in our daily life. In personal relationships, there is an order of respect that exists between elder generations, teachers, leaders, and so on. We should know the order and be courteous as we interact with each other. Order, in this sense, represents the different roles that we play in society. Whether student-to-teacher, employee-to-boss, etc. harmonious and thoughtful attention should be integrated in all existent orders. Additionally, knowing what is appropriate behavior in a given situation and possessing the self-discipline to execute that behavior is vital for us to become upstanding ladies and gentlemen.

　　We encourage all to be confident, self-motivated, and understand that we have the potential to become a distinctively wise individual through diligent work over time; we all should have that expectation. Through the thoughts and actions of the great people in history, we admire the efforts of those who have come before us in time and the true value of life. We understand that human wisdom and love are infinite in nature. With hard work and perseverance, we can eventually create a fulfilling life for ourselves. We understand that promises must be kept in our communication and responsibility must be shown in our deeds. One should possess a personality consisting of honesty, compassion, humbleness, and open-mindedness. The concept is we always look for the value of others and support them with praise and encouragement in their interactions with us. As a result, we are able to create a strong, healthy, and bright mind at both the individual and group levels.

　　A House team building is more than a collection of people. It is a process of give and take. Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success. Each of our students recognizes that: One person can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one person cannot make a team.

　　Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. BIBA Courage!
