環球觀察：FCG健康日:世界心理健康日

作為我們首個“斐特思特色活動”，廣州市斐特思學校（簡稱：廣州斐特思）的全體師生在上周與我們英國兄弟學校（英國斐特思公學）共度了世界心理健康宣傳日。

As one of our first Fettesian Events, the staff and students of FCG celebrated World Mental Health Awareness Day last week alongside our sister school in the UK.

在廣州斐特思，我們知道快樂能讓孩子茁壯成長，這也與英國斐特思公學的精神相一致。我們致力于提供高品質的人文心智關懷，讓學生感到安全和獲得支持，并有信心迎接課堂以外的任何生活挑戰。令學生感覺到快樂的關鍵是讓他們擁有健康心態，然而這在當今社會，許多人依然面臨這一挑戰，作為學校，我們有責任提高學生對積極心態重要性的認知，努力消除任何可能引起心理健康疾病的因素，為學生提供充分的支持與幫助，以滋養心境。

At Fettes, we know that happy children thrive. In line with the ethos of Fettes College in the UK, at FCG we are committed to delivering high-quality pastoral care in order that our students feel safe and supported, which gives them the confidence to take on challenges in the classroom and other areas of life. A key part of feeling happy is good mental health but we know that many people in today’s society can find this difficult. As a school, it is our responsibility to raise awareness of the importance of mental being, remove any stigmas that may be associated with mental health illness, and give our students the tools they need to achieve good mental wellbeing.

在上周五（10 月14日），我們在小學、初中和高中舉辦了一系列豐富的活動，其中涵蓋了學習、生活、體育、藝術及拓展課程。這些全校性的活動發揮了積極的影響。

On Friday 14 we held a series of events across the school – for all PS/MS/SS grades and covering all disciplines including Learning, Life, Sports, the Arts and Co-Curricular. It was a truly whole-school event and therefore had the maximum positive impact.

學習 Learning:：

初高中學生在“導師時間”的課堂上觀看了一段關于青少年心理健康的視頻，共同討論了各種有助于保持健康心態的應對策略，如寫日記、制作一個感恩罐子、與朋友傾訴等。在小學的課堂中，學生們了解到心理健康和身體健康都同等重要。老師教會了學生通過畫簡筆畫來表達情感，這是一種安全且有效的抒發方式。

In the classroom school during Tutor Time MS/SS students watched a video about teen mental health then discussed various coping strategies to help support good mental health such as keeping a diary, having a gratitude jar and talking to friends. In PS, students learnt that both mental and physical health are equally important aspects of being well. They drew stick figures to express their own state of health which created a safe way for the children to be able to share any concerns.

生活 Life：

在宿舍里，舍監與學生一起討論了如何促進飲食健康和保持良好的睡眠習慣，這些認識對他們的心理健康發展起著重要作用。

In Boarding our students discussed strategies to promote healthy eating and sleep routines which are so important for mental wellbeing.

藝術與拓展活動

The Arts & Co-Curricular：

午餐過后，我們有專業的老師為學生活動提供了指導，以活躍身心。各個年齡段的學生都可以在冥想、隨意涂色、象棋(包括中國象棋和國際象棋)和乒乓球之間選擇心儀的項目。我們很高興地看到學生能積極參與其中，在整個校園里建立友誼，拓展社交范圍。

At lunchtime our specialist staff provided guided activities to promote active body and mind. Students of all ages could choose between soothing meditation, mindful colouring, chess (both Chinese and western Chess) and table-tennis. It was fantastic to see our students so productively engaged and strengthening friendships across the school.

體育 Sports：

身體鍛煉對身心健康發展至關重要。我們繞著占地200 畝的校園進行賽跑來慶祝一天的結束。所有一年級的學生也參加了此次比賽，努力地為他們的學院贏得了積分，從中收獲了愉悅與個人成就感。英國斐特思公學自1878年以來每年進行障礙跑活動，斐特思的師生受到了這段歷史的啟發，為此項傳統活動注入了新的元素，如沿路設有清爽的噴水裝置輔助降溫.....當然，這在蘇格蘭是不需要用到的，因為那里的天氣遠沒有廣州炎熱!

We celebrated the end of the day with a fantastic whole-school run around our magnificent campus. All students from G1 competed, earning points for their House and achieving a great sense of physical wellbeing and personal satisfaction. Being physical active is essential for good mental wellbeing. This whole-school run was inspired by the annual Steeplechase, a traditional run at Fettes College that has taken place every year since 1878! Our students were inspired by this rich history but were excited to add their own elements including the cooling water sprays which were wonderfully refreshing….. and certainly not needed in Scotland where the weather is far less hot!

我們為所有學生都能積極參與和挑戰廣州斐特思首屆障礙跑而感到自豪，讓我們共同期待廣州斐特思下一個令人振奮的“斐特思特色活動”吧?。。?/p>

We are enormously proud of all our students and the positive spirit with which they have embraced these first Fettes Events. We are already excited about what’s next in the Fettesian Events Calendar. Watch this space!!!
