校长来信

Mrs Jane Arden

校长

亲爱的家长们,


在周一,我们举办了一场家长研讨会。本次研讨会的重点是关于佛山霍利斯的教学理念。在研讨会上,我们介绍了成长型思维、韧性、反省认知,协作学习等教学理念,以及如何将这些理念融入到学校教学中,并提供了一些与孩子沟通对话的实用技巧。在活动结束时,我们鼓励家长们分享他们本次的收获,并开始思考如何在家中支持孩子的学习。



同时,我们很高兴的宣布,根据家长们的建议,我们将会举办更多研讨会,增强家长与学校的联系。我亦会在接下来每周的校园通讯稿中分享介绍其中一些主题,确保家长能了解最新的资讯,家校合作提升学生们的学习体验。


祝好,

Mrs Arden

预备部

一起回顾佛山霍利斯预备部每周精彩瞬间!



预备部主任来信

Ms Bateman


亲爱的佛山霍利斯预备部家长们,


大家好!时光飞逝,转眼间已经到了九月底,几乎半个学期了已经过去了!在学年初,我们欢迎了许多新生加入预备部大家庭,并认识了新朋友,真是令人欣喜。



在预备部校园生活总是充满愉悦,充实,且有目标。这个学期也不例外。我们举办了许多令人兴奋的活动。我们开展了学生代表的职位申请和面试,共有超过五十名学生提交了出色的申请表。所有学生在面试时都尽了自己最大的努力,因此选拔过程非常困难。老师们经过深思熟虑,不得不做出一些艰难的决定。在此,再度祝贺所有成功获得职位的同学们!



在罗尔德·达尔纪念日中,预备部充满了各式各样的角色扮演,学生和老师们都穿上了奇妙且独特的服装,到处洋溢着欢乐的气氛。我们以这种有趣的方式来纪念这位伟大的作家。



我很高兴在非正式的家长茶话会中见到这么多家长,我知道老师们都非常珍惜这次可以与家长们面对面交流的机会,通过本次活动,教师们有机会亲自与家长见面,进一步加深了彼此之间的了解。听到大家分享的孩子们的故事与暑假的经历,真的十分温馨。我们期待很快可以再次在学校与大家见面。



这个学期特别充实,我们的中秋庆典活动、预备部高年级的火山探索之旅,还有今天的学院足球比赛圆满结束。请您花点时间欣赏活动的照片(请通过企业微信查阅更多照片)。



请大家继续关注下半学期即将举行的所有令人兴奋的校园活动。


我想借此机会祝愿所有霍利斯家庭度过一个愉快且轻松的国庆假期。我期待学生们在10月8日回到校园。

艺术

艺术学科主任及创意艺术部门主任 Ms Hayward


在上周,家长,员工和学生欢聚一堂,庆祝我们“霍利斯画廊”的开幕,画廊以伦敦霍利斯学校的创始人埃莉诺·霍利斯夫人的名字命名。



画廊在剪彩仪式后正式开放。副校长 Mr Banks 和我一同带领来访的嘉宾,家长和学生参观我们新老师 Mr Jovanovic 的作品展。



我感谢 Mr Jovanavic 为画展付出的努力,感激来自 Empermarket 公司和汇丰银行对画廊的赞助。同时,感谢各位同事为画廊的辛勤付出。谢谢帮我翻译的佛山霍利斯美术系的学生们。


本次展览主题为“映象沉思”,展出 Mr Jovanaovic 在2021年至2024年期间的一系列绘画和素描作品。作品反映了他的个人经历和思考。



大家在画廊参观,欣赏Mr Jovanovic的画作。从塞尔维亚的田园到中国的村落,大家能从画作中感受到他想要表达的情感。


Mr Jovanovic 的作品可供出售,他会将部分收入捐赠给佛山市一家为重病儿童设立的慈善机构。如果您有兴趣购买他的作品,请联系学校。



佛山霍利斯衷心感谢 Mr Jovanavic 选择在学校展出他的作品。


在接下来,佛山霍利斯计划举办各种不同的展览,包括中国画家的作品展,数码版画画展。当然还有我们佛山霍利斯学生作品的画展。


霍利斯画廊为学生、来访的艺术家和艺术爱好者提供一个充满活力的社区艺术中心,让他们分享、欣赏和学习当代和传统视觉艺术。


佛山霍利斯画廊的设立,让我们的学生可以了解到行业的最新资讯,并提高他们的自信心,勇于向公众展示他们的艺术作品。此外学生们还能够接触到各种不同风格的艺术作品,并有机会向艺术家们学习。


期待在未来的展览中看见大家的身影。


西班牙语

西班牙语学科主任 Mr Lechado


我们很高兴看到学生们热情投入地学习西班牙语。在每一次的课堂上,学生们都能够积极参与课堂,尽可能地使用西班牙语,展现出了对学习的热情。我特别高兴看到越来越多的学生选择学习西班牙语,希望有更多地学生会选择西班牙语作为他们 A Level 的其中一个学科。现在,我们的西班牙语课程从2年级一直到13年级,让学生们能够逐步发展他们的语言技能,为他们以后的学习夯实基础。



我们很开心 Mr Burkle 在本学年加入西班牙语部门。他有八年在英国教授西班牙语的经验。他将他的教学经验和热情带来了学校,同时给我们带来了一些新的想法。Mr Burkle 充满活力的教学风格,令他的课堂活力满满,同时让学生对学习西班牙语充满兴趣。我们很高兴 Mr Burkle 的加入!



同时,我们还有一个重要的信息宣布,那就是我们西班牙的研学之旅将安排在2025年的6月份。我们一直在为本次研学之旅做准备,相信在拥有各种美食小吃的斗牛之乡—西班牙,感受弗拉明戈的自由与热爱,将会是一次令人难忘的体验。有兴趣的家庭可以通过填写调查问卷报名参加本次西班牙研学之旅的信息发布会。本次信息发布会将在10月24日星期四17:00举行。



期待看见大家参与本次的西班牙研学之旅。

国庆节快乐!

¡Hasta luego! (再见!)

伦敦艺术大学研讨会

本周,佛山霍利斯收到了一份研讨会的活动邀请,活动主要介绍了伦敦艺术大学提供的各种专业课程。Mrs Kirk 和 Mr Mcmahon 一同前往参加了此次研讨会。活动上分享的资讯和学生的艺术作品都令他们留下了深刻的印象。伦敦艺术大学提供的课程不仅仅是与美术的课程,还有艺术新闻,创意编程和媒体专业等各种专业课程。一位来自伦敦艺术大学的教授介绍了伦敦艺术大学预科课程的优势:可以帮助学生顺利衔接、过渡到下一学位阶段的学习。她还强调了,学生作品集的重要性。作品集应有25-30页,并且可以用不影响作品集的视频来展示他们的素描本。作品集应该包含3-5个视觉故事,学生的声音需要被看见。此外,伦敦艺术大学还在暑假为有需要的学生提供 IELTS 的课程。伦敦艺术大学是世界著名的艺术大学之一,对于希望攻读艺术或相关学科学位的佛山霍利斯学生来说,这是一个非常不错的选择。



音乐

音乐学科总监 Mr Hobourn


学院音乐竞赛


佛山霍利斯将在今年的校庆日举办学院音乐比赛。中学部和预备部将各表演一首歌曲。中学部将表演 Lorde 的作品《Royals》,预备部将表演 Tones and I 的作品《Dance Monkey》。


我们都非常期待佛山霍利斯学院音乐比赛的举行。在练习期间,学生们能够进行团队合作,通过翻唱的方式,培养他们的领导力和创造力。音乐将我们凝聚起来,学生们站上音乐的舞台,展现他们的才华。今年,我们鼓励学生在合唱的基础上加入舞蹈,给观众带来一场难忘的演出。


歌曲的链接已经发送给了学生们,学生们可以在国庆节期间练习歌词。


我们期待节假日回来后的几周,音乐部门继续传出更多美妙的旋律歌声,以及见证学生们在团队合作、沟通和自信心方面的提升。


午间音乐会

9月27日星期五,佛山霍利斯迎来了新学年首次午间音乐会,这是学校本学期众多音乐会中的首场,也标志着一整年丰富多彩音乐活动的正式开启。在参与演出的七名学生中,有五名是新入学的学生。我很高兴了解这些学生以及他们的音乐才华。三名七年级的女生演奏了ABRSM(英国皇家音乐学院联合委员会)7-8级及以上的曲目。演出曲目包括来自俄罗斯、奥地利、法国、英国的作品,一首由马来西亚作曲家创作的巴洛克风格曲目,以及一首克拉克·特雷西(Clark Tracey)的架子鼓曲目《Caravan》,此曲热情奔放,华丽炫技。这是一场真正的国际音乐会,展现了高度的音乐和艺术交流水平,以及自信的风貌。这是2024-2025学年学校音乐会系列的精彩开场,我衷心祝贺所有学生,他们出色的表演:

  • Selena L (钢琴, year 7)

  • Marco Y (单簧管, year 8)

  • Spencer H (架子鼓, year 10)

Letter from the Headteacher

Mrs Jane Arden

Headteacher

Dear Parents,


On Monday, we were delighted to host a parent workshop focused on the key objectives of our teaching and learning philosophy. During the session, we introduced how growth mindset, resilience, meta-cognition, and collaborative learning are deeply embedded into school life at LEH Foshan. Parents had the opportunity to explore these concepts and discuss a number of scenarios which gave them practical tips on how to deal with a variety of conversations with their child. At the end of the session, parents were encouraged to reflect on their key takeaways and consider their next steps in supporting their children's learning journey at home.



We’re excited to announce that there will be more sessions throughout the year, based on parents' requests, to continue fostering this partnership. I also plan to cover some of these topics in our upcoming newsletters, ensuring that you remain informed and supported as we work together to enhance your child’s educational experience.


Best Regards

Mrs Arden


Reading Recommendations

Letter from the Head

by Ms Bateman, Head of Prep School


Dear LEHF Prep School Parents, 


What a wonderful first half term in Prep school we have had.  We welcomed many new students into our LEH Prep school family at the beginning of the academic year and it is wonderful to see so many new friendships developing.  



Prep school is always Happy, Busy and Purposeful, and this half term has been no exception. We have had many exciting events and activities. We started the term with our job role applications and interviews, we interviewed over fifty students who had completed fantastic application forms.  The selection process was difficult as all the students tried their best at the interview. There were some tough decisions to be made by the teaching staff.  Congratulations to everyone successful in securing a role.  



Prep school was a buzz with characters during our Roald Dahl day, we had some fantastic costumes amongst the students and staff alike. Great fun was had to celebrate the talents of this great author.  



It was fantastic to see so many of you at our informal coffee afternoon, I know the teachers found it very useful to put faces to the names of the parents they communicate with. It was lovely hearing the stories about your children and the summer holidays. We look forward to seeing you all in school again soon.  



This half term has been exceptionally busy with our Mid-Autumn Festival rehearsals, the volcano trip for the upper key stage and concluding our inter-house football competition, please take a moment to look at the photographs (more on WeCom).  



Please do look out for all our exciting events coming up next half term.  


I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our LEH families a wonderful restful half-term break. I look forward to seeing everyone back in school on the 8th of October.

Art

by Ms Hayward, Head of Art and Head of Creative Arts Faculty


Last week, parents, visitors, staff and students gathered to celebrate the opening of our new art gallery, aptly named ‘The Holles Gallery’, after Lady Elenor Holles, the founder of LEH school in London.



The gallery was officially opened in a ribbon cutting ceremony where Mr Steve Banks, Deputy Head and myself welcomed guests, parents, students and staff to view the opening exhibition by our newly appointed Teacher of Art, Mr Jovanovic.



In my speech I thanked Mr Jovanavic for choosing Leh to show his work and thanked our parent donors, HSBC Bank, Epermarket for their generous sponsorship of the gallery. I also thanked the many staff whose hard work and dedication enabled the gallery to come to fruition. The speech was translated from English to Mandarin by our LEH Art Scholars.


The exhibition is called “Moment’s of Reflection”, where in a range of paintings and drawings made between 2021 to 2024 Mr Jovanovic captures moments in time that reflect his experiences and memories of China and Serbia.



As viewers walked around the gallery, they took time to enjoy his artworks and admired the technical skill and diversity of works. They were taken through time, place and memory from farmlands in Serbia to Ming Dynasty villages in China.


Mr Jovanovic’s works are for sale, and he will be donating part of his sales to a Foshan charity for Children with Serious Medical Illness’s. If you are interested in buying any works, please contact the school.



LEH school gives its heartfelt gratitude to Mr Jovanavic for choosing to show his work with us.


Over the coming year LEH intends to show a diverse range of exhibitions including a large group show of Chinese painters and a group show of young contemporary Chinese digital and print artists. Of course, we will also be celebrating our students’ talents throughout the year in some group shows.


The Holles Gallery will provide a vibrant community arts centre for students, visiting artists and art lovers to share, enjoy and learn about contemporary and traditional visual arts. It is an important extension of our school community and to the Foshan and Guangdong region.


Having a gallery at LEH offers our students first-hand industry experience and gives them the knowledge and confidence to show their artwork to the public. Additionally, they will be exposed to a range of styles, mediums, techniques and processes and will get to meet and learn from practising artists.


We look forward to seeing you at our future gallery events.


Spanish

by Mr Lechado, Head of Spanish


In the Spanish department, we are thrilled to see our students embracing the Spanish language with such enthusiasm and dedication. In every lesson, they are eagerly participating and using Spanish as much as possible, showing a true passion for learning. I am particularly excited to see that our cohort of Spanish learners is growing year by year, and hopefully we will have new students choosing it as their A level option soon. Our Spanish curriculum now spans from Year 2 all the way up to Year 13, allowing students to develop their language skills progressively and build a strong foundation that will support them throughout their academic journey and beyond.



We are also excited to welcome Mr Burkle to our Spanish Department this year. With eight years of experience teaching Spanish in the UK, he brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for the language that will greatly benefit our students. Mr. Burkle has joined our team full of enthusiasm and fresh ideas, and we are already seeing the positive impact he is making in the classroom. His dynamic teaching style and commitment to fostering a love for Spanish are truly inspiring, and we are thrilled to have him on board.



We have one more announcement, and that is our planned trip to Spain in June 2025. We have been working tirelessly to prepare an enriching and fun experience in the land of flamenco, tapas and bullfighting. There will be a QR code sent via Wecom asking about interest on the trip and/or attending an informative session. If you are interested please complete the survey as soon as possible. You can find more information about the trip in the poster and the informative session will on Thursday October 24th at 17:00.



We would be delighted to see all of you joining us!

Have a wonderful National Day Holiday!

¡Hasta luego! (See you soon!)


Sixth Form

UAL workshop

This week LEH Foshan received a special invitation to attend a workshop to meet and discuss courses offered at the University of Arts London. Mrs Kirk and Mr Mcmahon went along to listen and were impressed not only by all the information they were given but also by the examples of portfolios and student work on display.  UAL is not just about art though. The speaker outlined courses in journalism of art, creative computing and media courses all leading to a degree in an ever-growing work market. A visiting professor from UAL highlighted the benefits of their pre-degree course, which uses continuous assessment as an excellent pathway to undergraduate programs in art, design, media, and journalism. She emphasised the importance of the portfolio, which replaces the traditional interview process. The portfolio should be 25-30 pages long and can be supplemented with a video to showcase students’ sketchbooks without detracting from the main portfolio. The portfolio should tell 3-5 visual stories. The student's voice needs to be seen and heard. Additionally, UAL offers a summer course to help students improve their IELTS scores if they do not currently meet the criteria. UAL is renowned as one of the finest universities for art in the world, making it an excellent choice for LEH Foshan students who wish to pursue a degree in art or related subjects.



Music

by Mr Hobourn, Director of Music


House Music Competition


The House Music Competition is returning following last year's outstanding success. This year it will be part of Founder's Day on 15th November. It will involve the Secondary and Prep School Houses performing one song each. The song for the Secondary School will be Royals by Lorde, and the Prep School houses will  perform Dance Monkey by Tones and I.


We cannot wait for the buzz of our LEH Foshan house music competition to return. All students will be working as a team, developing creative and leadership skills when coming up with their cover versions, and developing singing and instrumental skills. This is a fantastic opportunity to bring the whole school together through the medium of music and our students will dazzle the audience and judges with their talents. This year, we hope that the houses will consider choreographing dance moves to accompany their performances, for a truly spectacular visual and aural experience.


YouTube links of the two songs are on the LEH House Group Team. Students start practising the lyrics of the songs during the National Day Holiday.


We very much look forward to the collaboration, communication, and confidence to permeate around the Music Department in the coming weeks ahead!


Lunchtime Concert

Friday 27th September saw the first of the Lunchtime Concerts at LEH Foshan, the first of many concerts at the school, and the beginning of an action-packed year in Music. Of the seven students who took part, five were new students. I am now getting used to the tremendous depth of musical talent that now exists at LEHF. The three year 7 girls performed repertoire from ABRSM Grades 7-8 and higher. The programme consisted of works from Russia, Austria, France, UK, as well as a Baroque-style piece written by a Malaysian composer. There was also an exuberant and flamboyant performance on the drums of Caravan, by Clark Tracey. A truly international programme, presented with a high degree of musical and stylish communication, and confidence. This was a wonderful start to the school's programme of concerts 2024-2025, and I sincerely congratulate all students for their wonderful performances:

  • Selena L (piano, year 7)

  • Marco Y (clarinet, year 8)

  • Spencer H (drum kit, year 10)

  • Livia G (piano, year 7)

  • Abby H (flute, year 10)

  • Penny C (piano, year 9)

  • Amy H (piano, year 7)
