跨過元旦，翻開新年日歷，成都墨爾文學校本學年的學期也即將進入尾聲。

　　通常在學期交替之際，我們都會總結一下我校的寄宿生活，看看今年又有哪些亮點和值得回憶或期盼的事情。如果你想了解墨爾文學校寄宿生活，那就與我們一起翻開來自舍監主任尼爾 • 吉萊斯皮的信件吧。

　　美好的寄宿生活

　　受到新型冠狀病毒的影響，過去的一學期，多個國際學校聯盟(CISA)競賽均被取消了。但正因如此，我們增加了學院內部的比賽活動。在每周四的學院之夜，學生們可以參加排球、足球、籃球和極限飛盤比賽。

　　目前，各學院都收獲了比賽榮譽，每位參與活動的學生也為學院贏得了積分，雖已臨近學期末，但四個學院的積分非常接近，很難預測今年的勝出者會是誰。在第二學期，學院比賽和夏季運動日的競爭將更加激烈，因為每個學院都有機會在2023年7月舉起獎杯。

　　Wonderful boarding life

　　As many CISA competitions were cancelled this year because of Covid-19 we increased our inter-house competitions. We held Volleyball for junior and senior students, football, basketball and ultimate frisbee competitions during House Nights each Thursday.

　　Each house has won several of awards and all students who have taken part have earned points for their boarding house. House points have never been closer and as we draw close to the end of term 1, it is impossible to predict which house might lift the cup this year. The summer sports day and term 2 competitions will be even more competitive as every house is still in with a chance of lifting the trophy in July 2023.

　　過去一學期里，學院之夜的活動多姿多彩。同學們嘗試了新設備，女生們喜歡使用游戲和烹飪設備，而男孩們更喜歡在空閑時間使用健身器材。學院圖書館也在籌備中，每個學院都有精選書籍，以便學生們在第二學期用于英語和其他學科的學習。

　　高年級學生正在準備考試及申請大學，難免有壓力，對他們而言，這些活動是一種放松的方式。申請不斷遞交，G12的學生每周都會收到世界名校的各類錄取通知。在下學期，G12學生一定會用圓滿的成績，為畢業季畫下句號，并為夢想的大學生活做足準備。

　　House nights have been extremely busy this term. Students have enjoyed new equipment with the girls’ houses investing in games and cooking facilities while the boys’ houses opted for more exercise equipment to use in their free time. House libraries are also on order and we hope to have a new selection of books on offer for each house soon, so that students may develop their English and other subjects further in term 2.

　　Stress levels have been high in the boarding house for senior students as they have been preparing their university applications and for their exams. The activities have been a welcome distraction and sometimes a therapeutic past-time for many. With applications complete, we continue to be impressed by the university offers that are rolling in every week for our G12s. Focus next term will be on finishing the year with a proud set of results and preparing for life at their dream university.

　　- 走進我校的寄宿學院吧 -

　　沿襲英國寄宿體系，我校打造了兼具英式但又符合本地化特色寄宿體系，不同學段的孩子在入校時將被隨機分至不同的學院。

　　盡管學生分屬不同年級或不同班級，但是每一個學院就是孩子們在學校的“家”，中外籍舍監(男/女分屬對應學院)會定期組織“學院之夜”、“社交之夜”、“體育之夜”和“學術之夜”等豐富多彩的活動。

　　健康的寄宿文化和學生關顧，同學之間彼此協作、良性競爭，可以讓學生在社交、學術、身體素質、性格成長等方面全面發展。

　　通過成都墨爾文學校舍監主任尼爾 • 吉萊斯皮的信件，我們看到了，墨爾文學校寄宿的中西文化，以及學校對于寄宿生學術、健康、社交以及興趣特長的全面發展的重視，看到了寄宿生活的精彩和快樂，這就是成都墨爾文學校學生真實的寄宿生活。成都墨爾文學校從小學起就可以申請寄宿，如果您對學校的寄宿文化、寄宿環境、寄宿生活比較滿意，可以考慮將孩子送到這所學校讀國際小學、初中或高中。
