廣州斐特思公學(xué)學(xué)院制：理念及其重要性 The House System

廣州斐特思公學(xué)將成為高度重視家庭價(jià)值觀的社區(qū)，競(jìng)合平衡的學(xué)院制是這一理念的核心。我們致力于在這個(gè)獨(dú)特的社區(qū)，每個(gè)學(xué)生在成為最好的自己的過程中受到鼓勵(lì)，也會(huì)面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)，但絕不會(huì)以犧牲他人的利益為代價(jià)。

01.傳承母校精神

分設(shè)四大學(xué)院

Four Houses in keeping

with the spirit of Fettes College

廣州斐特思公學(xué)秉承全人教育理念，與母校一脈相承的學(xué)院寄宿制度和理念，將助力卓越的教學(xué)質(zhì)量。

在學(xué)校，全體師生均隸屬于四個(gè)群組，我們稱其為“學(xué)院”;每名學(xué)生在入學(xué)時(shí)就被分配到一所學(xué)院，每個(gè)年級(jí)的學(xué)生都屬于四個(gè)學(xué)院之一，即在本班以外，他們有另一個(gè)家。

各學(xué)院可能會(huì)舉辦體育等比賽活動(dòng)，相互競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，樹立學(xué)生的集體感。

The exceptional quality of the holistic education that Fettes College Guangzhou offers is grounded in the boarding ethos of the school and the associated House system, which reflects that of Fettes College.

At Fettes College Guangzhou, both pupils and teachers are attached to one of four groups called "houses", with each pupil being allocated to one house upon enrolment. Therefore in each at Grade at FCG pupils belong to one of the four houses, meaning that they are part of yet another family unit, in addition in their homeroom class. Houses may compete with one another at sports or during other events, thus providing a focus for group loyalty.

每個(gè)學(xué)院均以人物命名，從這些人的價(jià)值觀、成就和人格中汲取靈感、凝練特色。其中兩位是中國(guó)文化的杰出代表，另外兩位是斐特思公學(xué)的杰出校長(zhǎng)——前校長(zhǎng)和現(xiàn)任校長(zhǎng)。

這些人物以及相應(yīng)的學(xué)院代表著我們?cè)趶V州斐特思公學(xué)倡導(dǎo)的系列價(jià)值觀、能力和態(tài)度，包括：與人為善、興趣與求知;銳意創(chuàng)新、堅(jiān)韌不拔、家庭觀念、愿景、責(zé)任、服務(wù)、啟智、反思、平等、終身學(xué)習(xí)、表達(dá)自我、奉獻(xiàn)、培育、發(fā)現(xiàn)、甚至……長(zhǎng)壽!每個(gè)人都是廣州斐特思公學(xué)全體師生的榜樣，尤其是下列學(xué)院所屬師生的榜樣：饒宗頤、冰心、波茨、哈里森。

Each of our houses is named after an individual from whose values, achievements and character the house draws inspiration and characteristics. Two are prominent figures in Chinese culture, and two are prominent Heads of Fettes College – past and present.

Between them, these figures, and, therefore, the houses, represent a range of values, abilities and attitudes which we champion at Fettes College Guangzhou, including: kindness; fascination and curiosity; creativity; steadfastness; family; vision; duty; service; inspiration; reflection; equality; life-long learning; self-expression; dedication; nurture; discovery; and even…longevity! Each is a role model for all of us at Fettes College Guangzhou, and especially to those belonging to the houses of: Jao Tsung-I; Bing Xin; Potts; and, Harrison.

02.獨(dú)特寄宿學(xué)院

蘊(yùn)含豐富內(nèi)涵

Rich boarding school heritage

從歷史上看，學(xué)院制源于英格蘭知名公學(xué)，尤其是全寄宿學(xué)校;在此語境下，“學(xué)院”指學(xué)校建筑——寄宿學(xué)院。在現(xiàn)代，無論是走讀還是寄宿學(xué)校，“學(xué)院”一詞可能僅指學(xué)生群體，不指特定建筑。

學(xué)院制是深受英國(guó)學(xué)校(不僅是斐特思)喜愛的一種成熟的管理制度，這一傳統(tǒng)在英國(guó)獨(dú)立寄宿學(xué)校發(fā)展尤其成熟。傳統(tǒng)上，學(xué)院均以歷屆知名校友命名;在國(guó)際學(xué)校，有時(shí)會(huì)以當(dāng)?shù)孛骰蛑匾宋锩?。每個(gè)學(xué)院通常都有自己的標(biāo)志性符號(hào)、徽標(biāo)或顏色。

Historically, the house system has been associated with established public schools in England, especially full boarding schools where a "house" referred to the physical building – the boarding house – at the school. In modern times, in both day and boarding schools, the word house may refer only to a grouping of pupils, rather than to a particular building. Houses are traditionally named after famous historical alumni or, in international schools, sometimes in honor of local celebrities or significant figures. Each house will usually also be identified by its own symbol, logo, or colours.

03.學(xué)生在學(xué)校的“家”

帶來歸屬感和認(rèn)同感

Home-away-from-home

for students to foster

their sense of belonging

在學(xué)院制下，學(xué)生隸屬于某個(gè)學(xué)院，學(xué)院是他們小家以外的另一個(gè)家，他們不上課、不參加活動(dòng)時(shí)就在這里生活、玩耍、學(xué)習(xí)、交往，同時(shí)也給他們帶來了一種持久的歸屬感和身份認(rèn)同感。與任何斐特思老校友交談，不用提醒，他們都會(huì)自豪地告訴您當(dāng)時(shí)住在哪個(gè)學(xué)院，分享學(xué)院生活的重要意義。

傳統(tǒng)上，學(xué)院以文化勝地以及全國(guó)名人或當(dāng)?shù)孛嗣?，但即使那些學(xué)院僅有少數(shù)人知曉的學(xué)校，也有自己的特點(diǎn)和身份認(rèn)同。

學(xué)院通常與特殊的才能和特征相關(guān)聯(lián)。雖然隨著新學(xué)生和新職員的加入，這些才能和特征自然會(huì)發(fā)展變化，但學(xué)院通常保留著一些核心特征和價(jià)值觀，把所屬師生團(tuán)結(jié)在一起。

The house system is well-established and well-loved in UK schools, not least Fettes, and the tradition is particularly developed in British independent boarding schools where students are conventionally attached to a house which is both their home-from-home – where they live, play, study and socialise when not in lessons and activities – and also provides a sense of belonging and an identity that is lasting. Strike up a conversation with any Old Fettesian (former pupil) and without prompting they will proudly tell you which house they were in, and why that matters.

Houses conventionally take their names from places of cultural significance, and people of renown either popularly, or more locally, but even those schools whose houses are only known by a number are distinguished by their own unique features, and identities. Houses often become associated with special talents and characteristics. Though these naturally evolve over time with the intake of new pupils and staff, it is common for a house to hold a set of core characteristics and values under which members unite.

讀過J.K.·羅琳(J.K. Rowling)的《哈利·波特》系列小說的人都會(huì)記得分院帽，通過這頂帽子把霍格沃茨魔法學(xué)校的學(xué)生分到適合他們的走讀學(xué)院：格蘭芬多、赫奇帕奇、斯萊特林和拉文克勞——每個(gè)學(xué)院均以霍格沃茨四位創(chuàng)校巫師之一命名。借助一頂擁有特殊能力的魔法帽確定學(xué)生就讀的學(xué)院，J.K.·羅琳似乎在告訴我們，作為學(xué)院一員的那份榮耀會(huì)帶來難能可貴的身份認(rèn)同和同志情誼，學(xué)院能以特別的方式培育能力、培養(yǎng)人格。

幼兒園、小學(xué)部(以及首屆初中部)的全體學(xué)生都會(huì)分到一個(gè)走讀學(xué)院，在將來進(jìn)入初中和高中學(xué)院之前，學(xué)生將一直留在分配的學(xué)院。

Anyone who has read J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ novels, will remember the sorting hat, the conceit by which the pupils at Hogwarts are identified for their day houses: Gryffindor; Hufflepuff; Slytherin; and, Ravenclaw – each named after one of the four founding wizards of Hogwarts. By animating a magical hat with special powers to discern affiliations, J.K. Rowling seems to suggest the importance of identity and the inevitability of camaraderie that comes with the privilege of being a member of a house, and the special way a house can nurture ability and personality.

All our pupils in the Early Years Kindergarten and Primary School (and in the Middle School, in our opening year), will be allocated a Day House, and pupils will stay a member of their house until it is later time to transfer to middle and senior houses.

廣州斐特思公學(xué)將成為高度重視家庭價(jià)值觀的社區(qū)，競(jìng)合平衡的學(xué)院制是這一理念的核心。我們致力于在這個(gè)獨(dú)特的社區(qū)，每個(gè)學(xué)生在成為最好的自己的過程中受到鼓勵(lì)，也會(huì)面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)，但絕不會(huì)以犧牲他人的利益為代價(jià)。

此外，我們的學(xué)生將深刻認(rèn)識(shí)到與朋友攜手同行的重要性，他們也終將會(huì)明白：眾志成城，我們?cè)谝黄饡?huì)變得更強(qiáng)大!

而我們也堅(jiān)信：一個(gè)快樂、成功的社區(qū)所取得的成就，將永遠(yuǎn)大于其個(gè)人成就的總和。

Fettes College Guangzhou is to be a community that stresses the central importance of strong family values. While every student will feel challenged and encouraged to be the best that they can be, that will never be at the expense of those around them. Our students will develop a deeply enshrined sense of the importance of bringing their friends and peers along with them; they will grow to understand that we are stronger together and that the achievements of a happy, successful community will always be greater than the sum of the achievements of its individual members. The house, holding collegiality and competition in balance, is at the centre of this ethos.
