作为我们首个“斐特思特色活动”，广州市斐特思学校（简称：广州斐特思）的全体师生在上周与我们英国兄弟学校（英国斐特思公学）共度了世界心理健康宣传日。

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.

在广州斐特思，我们知道快乐能让孩子茁壮成长，这也与英国斐特思公学的精神相一致。我们致力于提供高品质的人文心智关怀，让学生感到安全和获得支持，并有信心迎接课堂以外的任何生活挑战。令学生感觉到快乐的关键是让他们拥有健康心态，然而这在当今社会，许多人依然面临这一挑战，作为学校，我们有责任提高学生对积极心态重要性的认知，努力消除任何可能引起心理健康疾病的因素，为学生提供充分的支持与帮助，以滋养心境。

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），我们在小学、初中和高中举办了一系列丰富的活动，其中涵盖了学习、生活、体育、艺术及拓展课程。这些全校性的活动发挥了积极的影响。

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.

学习 Learning:：

初高中学生在“导师时间”的课堂上观看了一段关于青少年心理健康的视频，共同讨论了各种有助于保持健康心态的应对策略，如写日记、制作一个感恩罐子、与朋友倾诉等。在小学的课堂中，学生们了解到心理健康和身体健康都同等重要。老师教会了学生通过画简笔画来表达情感，这是一种安全且有效的抒发方式。

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，舍监与学生一起讨论了如何促进饮食健康和保持良好的睡眠习惯，这些认识对他们的心理健康发展起着重要作用。

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

艺术与拓展活动

The Arts & Co-Curricular：

午餐过后，我们有专业的老师为学生活动提供了指导，以活跃身心。各个年龄段的学生都可以在冥想、随意涂色、象棋(包括中国象棋和国际象棋)和乒乓球之间选择心仪的项目。我们很高兴地看到学生能积极参与其中，在整个校园里建立友谊，拓展社交范围。

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.

体育 Sports：

身体锻炼对身心健康发展至关重要。我们绕着占地200 亩的校园进行赛跑来庆祝一天的结束。所有一年级的学生也参加了此次比赛，努力地为他们的学院赢得了积分，从中收获了愉悦与个人成就感。英国斐特思公学自1878年以来每年进行障碍跑活动，斐特思的师生受到了这段历史的启发，为此项传统活动注入了新的元素，如沿路设有清爽的喷水装置辅助降温.....当然，这在苏格兰是不需要用到的，因为那里的天气远没有广州炎热!

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!

我们为所有学生都能积极参与和挑战广州斐特思首届障碍跑而感到自豪，让我们共同期待广州斐特思下一个令人振奋的“斐特思特色活动”吧！！！

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!!!
