尽管HUB在八月已向我们的社区首次展示,但十月的这一时刻让我们与协助创造这一全新学习空间的专家们共同庆祝它的正式开幕。全校师生齐聚HUB,共同铭刻下这个在NIS历史上具有里程碑意义的一天。
“We think of ideas, and we share those ideas,” said Mr. Laurie McLellan, NIS School Director, in a speech to the gathering of our inclusive learning community. “Then, after trial and error, we prototype those ideas. We try them out. And when we’ve done that, we implement what we’re going to do – we try those things for everybody. So what we made was the HUB. Now what we have to do is the same all over again, but this time it’s about how we all use the HUB.”
“我们集思广益,彼此分享灵感,”NIS总校长Laurie McLellan先生在致辞中对我们包容性学习社区的成员说道。“然后,在反复试错中,我们打磨出这些创意的雏形。我们付诸实践,深入探索。当万事俱备,我们便落实行动,迈向未来。每一次尝试,都是为了社区的每一位成员。HUB由此落成。如今,我们需要再次回到起点,但这一次,焦点在于我们如何共同使用这个空间。”
NIS leadership, along with Mr. Ewan McIntosh, CEO of NoTosh, and architects Mr. Philip Idle and Ms. Chloe Summers from EIW, cut the ribbons that symbolized the HUB’s official opening to Nanjing and the world. We thank everyone involved with this incredible, innovative project and can’t wait to see the new and exciting ways this ‘Third Teacher’ will continue to amplify learning at NIS.
