2019年5月31日下午2点，苏州工业园区外国语学校IB国际高中部2019届毕业典礼在艺术厅隆重举行。校领导、老师、同学们悉数出席了毕业典礼，共同见证2019届毕业生们人生中这一重要时刻。

The graduation ceremony of SIPFLS IB high school started at 2 P.M. 31st, May 2019. Students and teachers from IB department and directors from other departments and presidents of the school attended the ceremony to witness the important moments of Y12.

毕业典礼在充满温情的校园生活回顾视频中拉开了序幕，大家仿佛回到了3年前，再次看到同学们入学时那些稚嫩的脸庞，感慨万千。毕业了, 到了该说再见的时刻。

The ceremony started with a video of memories of Y12, which brought everyone back to 3 years ago. How time flies! It is time to say goodbye.

毕业典礼伊始，执行校长潘鑫发表了重要讲话，祝贺毕业生顺利完成学业，拿到心仪的大学录取通知书，踏上新的人生旅途，潘校长语重心长，言辞恳切，更是不忘悉心叮嘱。希望他们在未来的学习生活中都能做出正确的抉择，走好每一段人生旅程。

Executive Principal Pan gave the opening address. Mr. Pan expressed his congratulations to students on their success in being enrolled into their dream universities. In his moving and heart felt speech Mr. Pan also expressed his wish that all graduates can make right choices in their life and study in the coming future.

紧接着，IB国际高中校长Joel Seow讲话，他以一个鼓舞人心的小故事作为开场，鼓励同学们要像故事中的主人公一样，积极向上，把握任何一个来之不易的机会。深情寄语，殷殷期待，祝愿毕业生一切安好。

Mr. Pan’s speech was followed by an address from IB Principal Mr.Seow. Mr. Seow told a moving story of a young learner who worked hard and made the most of the opportunities that came his way. Mr. Seow wished all the students a happy and joyful future.

接着，IB学生代表与IA学生代表发言，他们分享了他们3年高中生活的所学所知，表达了对校领导和老师们的感激与不舍之情。

Then came a speech given by the students’ representatives, Kila Shen and David Xiao, shared their memories of the past 3 years and expressed their gratitude to teachers. 

本届毕业生家长代表伊能女士也应邀发言。她首先感谢了长久以来学校以及老师对伊能逸心同学的栽培和教导，并回忆了多年前与萧校长的一通至关重要的电话。萧校长一贯秉持的“用心做教育”引起了伊能女士的强烈共鸣，也帮助她更加深刻地认识到：父母之爱子，则为之计长远。家长与孩子在实现梦想的路上应当并肩作战。伊能逸心同学今日之成绩是家长和校方通力合作，用心做教育的生动体现，也是天道酬勤的必然结果。

This was followed by a speech by parent representative Mrs Ino, mother of Isshin. Ino. She expressed deep appreciation for the hard work put in by the teachers over the years and recounted a telephone conversation with the Principal which left an indelible impression on her. Strongly endorsing the Principal’s ethos of “education with a heart”, she shared how he had transformed her own concept of education by helping her to see that as a parent, she should work alongside her child to realize his dream. Isshin’s fulfillment of his childhood dream at this milestone is testament to the effectiveness of the quality of his instruction while in high school, and more importantly, reflects its essence.

让人欣慰的是，11年级的纪燕婷、刘欣怡和严书航同学以及12年级的杨凌同学倾情献唱《see you again》。10年级同学也以一首原创诗朗诵《毕业》表达了深切的不舍之情。

The program included wonderful performances by Y10 and Y11 students. Lily Ji, Victoria Liu, Charlotte Yen and York Yang wowed the audience with their version of “See you again”. This was followed by “Graduation”, an original poem composed and performed by year 10 to express their blessings to Y12.

最后，全体毕业生也精心地准备了一首《我们由衷地感谢》来表达他们对父母、对学校、对老师、对同学最由衷的感谢。

At last, all graduates sang a song together to express their gratitude to parents, teachers, classmates and the school.

2019届毕业生即将离开母校，扬帆起航，相信他们会用在IB所学去创造属于他们的更美好的未来。母校永远是你们最坚强的后盾、最温暖的家。

We hope all graduates have a bright future with what they learned from IB. SIPFLS will serve as their strongest backup forever.
