Dear students, teachers, colleagues and friends,

I should like to begin by saying how honored I am to be invited to speak today in front of so many special and valued guests to mark the start of the 2018 academic year.

The Brookes Education Group is a growing and leading network of IB World Schools with seven dynamic schools across six vibrant countries. Our mission is to educate for a better future. Our three pillars see this mission become reality by emphasizing what we consider to be our three virtues: community, creativity and character. In fact, character education is the most important factor in determining a future global leader. The partnership between Brookes and Tsingua Zhinging International High School is a partnership for school and student support that will lead to greater recognition and hopefully greater access to universities abroad. On behalf of the Board of Brookes, I am only too pleased to champion the fact that we have 100% university enrollment in the world’s leading universities including, but not limited to University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Colombia to mention a few.

I am also a father of a 12th;grade student much like you in the audience here today. ;I want to stress the importance of this very moment. You are at the beginning of a wonderful journey from teenager into adult life. Much like Brookes champions character, creativity and community, you should find confidence knowing your teachers will champion key Tsinghua Zhinging core values of kindness, appreciation, care and responsibility within your final years of education that will support your moral development well into the future.;

I know you don’t know me and that is not important. What you should know is that I have been working in and out of China since you were in Kindergarten. I have seen massive developments in China and this is your time. You come from a great country with an impressive history that is also spreading its influence wider into the world. Each of you in this room have been chosen to follow a path of international education. What that means is that you take these three simple words of advice with you today.

　　1.With privilege comes responsibility – You are receiving an education that some children can only hope to receive. This privilege means you carry a responsibility to make a difference for others in the future.

　　2.Know who you are and where you come from – Be proud to be Chinese and don’t forget that your home is your land, your family and your heritage.

　　3.Get action, do things – Roosevelt’s famous quote rings true in me and is now passed on to you. Don’t stand idle and reach for your dreams.

On a personal note, there is no greater gift than the gift of education. Learning to read and write English is economic as much as it is political. At Brookes the power of language will shape a greater more connected global world. Here on the western side of Beijing, the Tsinghua Zhinging International High School community is placing value on fundamental attributes in common agreement with Brookes: the development of a balanced thinking communicator who is reflective, caring and knowledgeable. People willing to take risks with clear principle and perspective in mind.

I am proud to be here to witness the start of your international educational journey. I am encouraged by what is happening for the greater good. Please help to make this school, your teachers and your parents proud because after all you are the future global leaders of tomorrow. Please unlock the human potential that lies within.

Thank you.

　　随后，副校长袁绍超也作了主题致辞，袁校长在新学期对同学们提出了四个学会：“严格律己，学会做人；严格计划，学会学习；心有感谢，学会感恩；胸怀理想，学会自信。” 希望同学们可以坚定信心，手挽手肩并肩，走向更加美好的未来。

　　接着，毕马威中国创新创业共享中心合伙人张昕先生作为企业代表上台致辞。

　　毕马威专门为清华志清中学国际部学生开设的一门学分课程----毕马威青少年创新发展计划。本课程以一种有影响力、高效、可广泛采用的创新方法，让参与者突破既定思维模式，建立创新思维，创造与众不同的想法和产品：以不同的视角感知世界，激发突破性的想法；让头脑与双手同时活动，将抽象的想法和创意变鲜活；结合学生潜质和未来商业目标，进行创意原型制作。

　　之后，吴校长给同学和家长们介绍了三年学习规划的各项细节，如何从容规划进入名校。最后，典礼在师生的掌声中落下帷幕。
