序言
Volume 4, Issue 1 Jan – Jun 2019
亲爱的家长/ 监护人: 教育是人才的培养，教育是每个学生的未来。学生透 过教育的训练和学习，增长智慧、能力，以接受生命 的挑战，开创未来无限光明的人生。老师是人类心灵 的工程师，每个学生像能源一样，必须有催化剂，才 能产生炽热的功能。 老师就是扮演催化剂的角色。老师也像是一面镜子，学生从老师这面镜子 ，看见自己的未来，也看见自己的优点和缺点。老师像园丁种树，园丁在 小树旁边绑着小木条或小铁枝，以免让小树长歪或长斜。待小树长正以后 再取去那根小木条、小铁枝。老师对于学生来说就像小树未成长之前，绑 在小树边的小木条、小铁枝。 老师是学生的引导者，不只是学校里的老师，父母亲在家里也扮演着老师 的角色。孩子在家里接受最多的就是父母亲的言教和身教。因此，慈爱三 好学校的孩子们必须在父母与老师的循循善导之下，才能身心健康地成长。 慈爱三好学校是一座宝库，希望校长和老师们能在这里不断吸收热、吸收 光，温暖自己、照亮自己，也将光与热温暖慈爱三好学校的孩子们，让他 们发光、发热。 Education develops talents and holds the future of each and every student. Through educational training and learning, students will begin to gain wisdom and abilities. As such, they will be able to overcome many challenges in life in order to create a better and brighter future. Teachers are the craftsmen to the heart and soul of humanity. They act as a catalyst to every student’s potential. Their roles are to help every student to realize and release their potentials. Teachers are also like mirrors that will reflect the students’ strength and weaknesses. A wise gardener will always provide support to young seedlings to help them grow into straight and strong trees. Teachers are like the support to every growing “seedlings”. Besides teachers, parents, you are the first and closest teacher to our children as they tend to learn and mimic their parents’ actions and speech. As such, it is very important for students of Ci Ai to grow and develop under the positive influence and nurturing of the teachers and parents. Ci Ai is a treasure vault with lots of love, warmth and brightness. May the Principal and all the Teachers be able to absorb and gather all the goodness here and in turn spread it to all our students, so that they can shine in their future and provide brightness to others.
