Principal Message

Dear Parents and Students:

     Hello everyone! The new school year has begun. Did you have a fulfilling and enjoyable summer? After six days of creation, God set the seventh day as a day of rest. Our Heavenly Father, after completing His work in six days, also established the seventh day as a day of rest to teach us the importance of taking a break. Rest is the driving force for new beginnings. We can learn to pause on the seventh day, find some quiet moments, and draw closer to our Heavenly Father, relying on Him to gain strength for the upcoming week of work or study. Likewise, the summer vacation is a time for rejuvenation. I believe everyone made good use of the holidays, rested well, enjoyed themselves, spent time with family, and prepared for the new school year.

     In this new school year, I hope everyone will remember the phrase "Christian Solders, Creative Explorers”, which is the school's developmental goal in the upcoming year. "Christian Soldiers" carries two meanings. First, I hope that every student can develop a Christ-like character. We should learn the ways of Jesus Christ and strive to become students of good character and conduct; second, we should learn to actively serve others like elite soldiers, because good character must be demonstrated through action. The Bible mentions, "Children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." (1 John 3:18) We cannot simply say that we are polite and have good manners; we must live out these qualities by helping and serving others. When I refer to "others," it includes not only teachers and friends but also family, parents, and siblings who are even more deserving of our service. Thus, in addition to helping teachers and classmates at school, we should also take responsibility at home, share household chores, and lighten our parents' burdens.

     Furthermore, I hope you will embody the spirit of "Creative Explorers" because life is full of joy, and knowledge is boundless. We must maintain our curiosity, be brave in exploration, be willing to innovate, and confidently face every challenge and overcome every difficulty. I encourage students to fully engage in every learning activity arranged by the school, allowing yourselves to grow step by step in the process. At the same time, be courageous in showcasing the knowledge and skills you acquire. I hope everyone will actively participate in every learning and presentation activity at school, tapping into their potential.

     Finally, I would like to encourage everyone with a Bible verse: "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." (Proverbs 11:25). To be "Christian Soldiers" means we must learn to contribute for the sake of others—teachers, family, friends, as well as the school and society—using our talents and abilities, which will surely bring heavenly rewards. Dear students, let us remember the love of our Heavenly Father, who is always by our side, helping us overcome every challenge. The new school year is a fresh beginning. Let us join hands to explore the mysteries of knowledge and pursue spiritual abundance. May each of us become Christ's elite soldiers in this school year, bravely exploring, seeking newness and change, and working together to create a better tomorrow.

     May God's blessings and grace always be with you! Let us welcome the new year with joy and peace, and with a positive and humble attitude.
