秉承開放辦學(xué)的原則和積極的態(tài)度一直是天悅學(xué)校的辦學(xué)風(fēng)格。近期，我們迎來第一次家長代表大會(huì)。除了來自每個(gè)班級(jí)的家長代表以外，還有來自英文社區(qū)的家長代表，和韓國社區(qū)的家長代表。作為一個(gè)志愿者協(xié)會(huì)，本次大會(huì)旨在密切加強(qiáng)家庭與學(xué)校的溝通與協(xié)作，努力構(gòu)建和完善一個(gè)相互支持、共同成長的正氣、和諧的環(huán)境。天悅學(xué)校是像大家庭一樣的社區(qū)，家長代表將作為天悅社區(qū)的核心力量，帶領(lǐng)大家共同成長。

　　Life at JOY EL is running smoothly and on schedule under the steady guidance of its Director and its Management Team. The timing has therefore been appropriate for the creation of a new parent-school organisation called the Parent Congress). Following an initial meeting with all parents invited, this volunteer organization has been established to consolidate communications between families and school, and to provide mutual support for a wide range of school-related initiatives within the JOY EL community.

　　開學(xué)后，家長們便踴躍報(bào)名競(jìng)選家長代表，愿意積極與學(xué)校一起攜手，投身到一起發(fā)展的行列中。開學(xué)至今，學(xué)校舉辦了一系列的家長工作坊、家長會(huì)、早茶會(huì)等活動(dòng)。在此基礎(chǔ)上，學(xué)校和家長本著互相尊重與協(xié)作的原則，大家為了共同的目標(biāo)，互相尊重理解，希望建立一個(gè)有效溝通合作的平臺(tái)，旨在為今后學(xué)校教育、家庭教育和社區(qū)教育貢獻(xiàn)力量。

　　The response to the proposed initiative during the all-parent meeting was highly positive with many attendees offering their services and support for school, family, and community education. Parent involvement, their mutual respect and understanding has already been impressive, with high turnouts and participation at events already organized by the school, such as Parent Workshops, Meeting and Morning Teas.

　　高校長在代表大會(huì)上分享說：“堅(jiān)持家校溝通與合作，通過家校聯(lián)合會(huì)完善學(xué)校、家庭、社會(huì)三位一體的教育體系，營造優(yōu)秀的教育環(huán)境是我們的宗旨。學(xué)校對(duì)家長代表大會(huì)的定位很清晰，那就是家長和學(xué)校共同組成的志愿性的協(xié)會(huì)組織，既有學(xué)校核心的管理人員，也有來自各個(gè)班級(jí)的家長代表，今后家長和學(xué)校將有效配合，共同支持老師的工作、孩子的學(xué)習(xí)。”

　　In the meeting, Director Gao stated: “Key to building an excellent educational environment is ensuring strong communication and cooperation between parents and school, and building an education system that integrates school, family and society centred on a strong family-school bond. We have defined the Parent Congress as a volunteer association of parents, school staff, and parent representatives from classes, who will together contribute to teachers’ work and children’s studies”.

　　家長代表大會(huì)為家長間、家校間溝通提供了有效的平臺(tái)。家長代表可以通過此平臺(tái)，公正客觀地面對(duì)家長的期待與訴求，為學(xué)校建設(shè)出合理有效的建議。家長之間也可以充分交流并與學(xué)校及時(shí)反饋，持續(xù)溝通。除此以外，聯(lián)合會(huì)也能積極協(xié)調(diào)家長之間、家長與學(xué)校之間、學(xué)校與社會(huì)之間的關(guān)系，促進(jìn)協(xié)同合作。

　　The Parent Congress provides an effective platform for communications among parents, and between parents and school. On this platform, representative parents can fairly and objectively consider and summarise the expectations and demands of parents in general, and make reasonable and effective recommendations. In addition, the Congress may actively coordinate relations among parents, between parents and school and between school and society.
