欢迎大家来到新的学年。这是一年中令人期待万分的时刻。欢迎大家回到学校，以及七年级和八年级的新学生。老师们在为你们的到来做准备，工作人员也在努力工作，为校园增添了很多精彩的内容。一切准备就绪，期待顺利开启。
Welcome everyone to a new school year. It really is an exciting time of the year. We welcome our new students in year 7 and 8 and welcome back our students from last year. The teachers are preparing for your arrival and staff have been working hard with done wonderful additions to the grounds for students to enjoy. Everything looks polished and ready to go.
指导纲领是我们在SOIS所做一切的基础。我们经常谈论学校的愿景是“教育、培养、启迪”。今年，我想向大家介绍我们培养学生的特质。随着学生的进一步教育，高等院校都在寻找候选人能否给他们带来更多的“附加价值”。许多学生获得高分数，但什么能让他们脱颖而出?我们认为需要对孩子进行全方位培养，因此我们将学生特质这些内容落实到位，以帮助他们在以后的生活中取得成功。
Our Guiding Statements are the foundation of all we do at SOIS. I have often talked about our Vision to ‘Educate, Nurture, Inspire Excellence’. This year I would like to inform our community about the Traits we are developing in our students. As students go further in their education, schools, colleges and Universities are looking for the ‘valued added’ a candidate brings to their institution. Many students will gain high grades, but what makes them stand out from others? We believe in educating the whole child and thus have put in place student traits that will help them be successful later in life.
