Graduation


Congratulation to Class of 2022!


Graduation Message


Graduation is not only an end to a period, 

also a commencement of a new period and

I hope that future years will bring you continued happiness!

Message from General Principal Ms. Peggy



I am both privileged and delighted to express my congratulations to our dearest graduates and their parents. ZWIE has grown in leaps and bounds from it’s inception for 19 years, changing from “the integration of both oriental ethics wisdom and western scientific spirit ” to “Let the education fit the needs of our children and let the world be harmonious with differences”. On the journey to holistic and inclusive education, ZWIE shows no hesitation.


To explore the optimal solutions of Chinese educational reform is not as easy as it sounds. On the contrary, it needs courage, constant inquiry, practice, reflection, revision and action in a spiral way. Our school may not be the perfect demonstration to new national curriculum blended with international frames but the advocate to embrace the cutting-edge integrated course forming a shared life- long learning community involving our students, parents and school; it is not the desire to move around from one classroom to another but the comprehension towards the respect to the appropriate demands from every single student as well as every family; it is not the English proficiency but the practice of global competency brought to the future when facing VUCA era; it is not the fear to COVID-19, but the responsibility of offering remote education and the mutual understanding between schools and families; it is not 100% assurance about the relationship between various countries, but the wisdom and courage while facing challenges with the education filled with BIG Concepts and BIG Ideas.  

                                                 

We are expecting the year of 2025, the beginning of AI era, along with a bit concern. A question pops up – what challenges will we face as human beings? Merely learning from books without linking to the real world is not recommended at our school because our students are expected to be the corner stones, the leaders and advocates of human society in the future instead of theoretical idealists stick to rotten books. Our students shall build up their solid academic foundation, strengthen their 21 century skills in order to be life-long learners, international communicators and future creators to offer future optimal solutions.


At ZWA, we would like to have a multicultural community, an encouraging environment; Under circumstance now, our school proposes to establish PTA- Parent- Teacher- Association to form a quality team with all sorts of perspectives striving for forming a life-long learning community; our subject teachers initiatively create our multi-language code and provide students in different levels extra tutorials; Student Dean offers individual academic planning and guides students to choose their own timetables; college admission counselors offers  scientific and systematic career advice to our students. 


The  strong youth leads to a prosperous country; the growing youth strengthens the world.  The educational garden we are taking care of today will be the haven fostering  precious souls to build up the future. Let us aim at the same goals with different background on the journey to excellence.   


Finally I would like to share my motto with all of you: Dream Big, Start Small. 

Message from Principal Ms. Teresa


First of all, congratulations to the Class of 2022! Today, you have successfully graduated from ZWA and officially finished your high school career. You will have a new identity--college students! Please allow me to express my sincerest congratulations and best wishes to all of you on behalf of all the ZWA faculty. 


A few years ago, all of you came from different schools, at different times, with different backgrounds. I believe that all of you had a dream, whether it was the pursuit of learning or growth, or the desire for friendship and affection. Your relationships with your teachers bagan at that moment. 


Some of you graduates have stayed a longer time than me at ZWA, and some of you graduates we met online when the epidemic was at its worst. No matter how we met, I still clearly remember the first time we met, and I remember your best qualities in my heart. Being with you is the happiest time for us during the high school years but today we feel happy and sad together for your graduation. Happy for your new beginning in the universities but sad for not seeing your faces next school year. Looking at your happy similing and vigorous faces, I belive that all of you will have a bright future after today!


Today, I want to borrow the words of Professior Peng from Tsinghua University and send them to you: “Life is a long journey, so be strong and patient.”Life is a continuous process, which means you will face a lot happy and sad moments in your life. In the future, we will not be together but I hope all of you will stay strong at any moment to keep yourself going! Keep your chin up!


The world is big, all of you are going to different countries and cities, USA, UK, Australia, Beijing, the world is also small, no matter where you go, I hope you can remember: ZWA is the home of your soul and it is opened to you forever. 


At last, let’s congratulate to the class of 2022 again, we wish that all of you have a bright future!

Message from Graduate Representative


Hello everyone! It is a great honor to stand here today as the representative of the graduates. Firstly, please allow me to thank all the teachers on behalf of all the graduates for their dedicated guidance and company over the years.


Words cannot express my excitement and sadness at this moment, . What I am excited about is the fact that I am about to enter my dream school, for which I put in indescribable efforts for many years. What I am sad about is that now I have to say goodbye to the school that has nurtured me, to my teachers who have cared for me, and to my classmates who have been through all ups and downs with me. At the same time, I am also a little nervous. How can I demonstrate the charm of Chinese culture and the outstanding spirit of Chinese girls in a foreign country, and how can I surpass the achievements I have achieved?


Looking back on my high school life in ZWA, all the joys and sorrows are still engraved in my mind. I still clearly remember the first day I stepped into this campus full of hope and dream. Time is flying and now I am standing here as a graduate to conjure up those unforgettable moments---your patient and inspiring guidance, your dedicated hard work, our escape room meetup and singing performance on stage. At this graduation ceremony, I would like to say thank you, my respected principals and teachers. Thank you for forgiving our ignorance and misbehavior. Thank you for tolerating and understanding us so much as that we can learn how to seek knowledge, how to be a decent person and how to act responsibly. All these bountiful harvests are our lifelong treasures. I would also like to say thank you to all the parents. It is because of your constant support and love that we can always keep our chins up throughout our life journey. 


Please forgive our reckless and willful behaviour. Please rest assured that we will always work hard, keep going and prove that we can! Let’s say thank you to each other, and forget about all the unpleasant moments. Let’s freeze this moment with a sincere smile and a simple mindset. 


Here I would also like to give my humble suggestions. First, please work hard. There are only two types of seasons in our life. If you work hard, then you can enjoy your peak season. If not, the off season is doomed to come. Second, embrace hardship and practice more. Start small and end big.  


In the future, I hope all of us will be brave and positive, be yourself and pursue your dream. Cherish everything, either small or big, and spend some time with your family and friends. When you are lonely, there is always someone who holds out his hand to you. When you come home late, there is always a light in the darkness for you. Even when you are stuck in a maze, don’t panic and keep on moving forward. Finally romantic serendipity will fall on you. Always believe that you deserve all the beautiful things in this world and stay chill on this path to the future. 


My heartiest wishes to every ZWA student so that you achieve success in everything you do.
