The principal of BC program Ms. Wereschuk extended a warm welcome to the graduates and the parents present. She also gave her best wishes to the graduates.
今天，我们不仅为你们学业成就庆祝，更为你们每一位所经历的非凡之旅庆祝。同学们来自不同的学校，有的从幼儿园起就在协和就读，有的来自我们校区 EMW课程，还有的来自我们校区国内部，以及其他各个学校。从哪里开始并不重要，那只是旅程的起点。重要的是同学们能充分利用在这里学习的机会，共同营造良好的学习环境，建立长久的友谊。高中是学习的一个时期，不仅仅学习课本知识，还从各种经历、挑战、友谊和成功中学习。你们每个人都有自己独特的故事，故事里有快乐，有拼搏，还有数不尽的回忆，这些造就了独特的你。
Today, we celebrate not just your academic achievements but the remarkable journey you have undertaken. Some of you came from within SUIS, either in our kindergartens or from the EMW program here; some of you came from local programs. It did not matter where you began, that was but the start of your journey. What matters is what you took of the opportunity here, to build community with us, to build lasting friendships. High school is a time of learning, not just from textbooks but from these experiences, friendships, challenges, and triumphs. Each one of you has a unique story, filled with moments of joy, times of struggle, and countless memories that have shaped who you are today.
同学们都已经准备好出发去下一阶段旅程，请记住，你们拥有内在的力量。你们这一代人在面对前所未有的挑战时表现出了坚韧不拔的精神。之前经历的疫情考验了我们的极限，常态有了新的定义，但你们学会了适应，学会了坚持，让自己变得更加坚强。这种力量将在你们迈向人生的下一个篇章时发挥重要作用。你们每个人都有自己的需求、优势、劣势、激情和挑战。不要回避自己本来的样子；要自信。你们已经具有克服困难的能力，已经学会了在逆境中成长。
As you prepare to step out into the world, I want to remind you of the power you hold within you. You are a generation that has shown resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges. The pandemic tested our limits and redefined our normal, but you adapted, you endured, and you emerged stronger. This strength will serve you well as you venture into the next chapter of your lives. Each of you have your individual needs, strengths, weaknesses, passions, challenges. Do not shy away from who you are; you have seen how you can overcome, how you can grow and adapt in the face of adversity.
Part 4 家长代表发言 Parent Welcome Address
12B Tony陆予尉家长卫霞女士作为家长代表发言，她向家长们分享了孩子在BC国际部成长的欣喜，也表达了对BC课程部的感谢和对毕业生们的衷心祝福！
Ms. Wei Xia, 12B Tony Lu Yuwei’s mother, who spoke as the parents’ representative. She shared the joy of Tony’s growth with the parents, and also expressed her gratitude to the BC program and heartfelt wishes to the graduates!
多元开放，中西融合的BC课程，它教会了孩子们独立，自主，自信。学分制和选课制为孩子们提供了更多的可能，他们不仅可以按照自己的兴趣规划未来，还有机会接触到不同的学科领域。
The integration of Chinese and Western curricula teaches independence, autonomy, and self-confidence. The credit system and elective courses allow students to not only plan for a future according to their own interests, but also exposes them to different subjects and broadens their breadth of knowledge.
我的孩子从小热爱体育，在教科的这三年，他每天课后参加校队训练，收获了体格，收获了拼搏，坚持，团队和友谊。最终在老师们的帮助下，他也坚持了自己最初的梦想，选择了自己热爱的体育管理专业。我们拿到了英国5个大学的offer，最终孩子选择了爱丁堡大学。
I love being active, and during the three years of learning in Jiaoke, I participated in numerous school teams, training every day after school. With the help of my teachers, I was able to adhere to my original dream and choose the major of sports management, that I loved. I have got 5 offers, and have chosen to go to the University of Edinburgh.
还有几句叮咛给你们：
遇到困难不要逃避而是能勇敢跨越。当然，如果你偶尔想要软弱，请你们知道那并不可耻。若有人消耗你的善良，请你们不要忘记善良是你的本性，一定不要弄丢它。你们的健康是我们唯一的期盼，请你们一定要好好照顾身体。而你的心如果受伤，爸爸妈妈随时都在。
First, do not run away from difficulties, but bravely face them. Certainly, if you occasionally feel weak, please know that this is not a shame. If someone consumes your goodness, please do not forget that goodness is your nature and do not lose it. Your health is your parents only concern. Please take good care of yourself. And if your heart hurts, Mom and Dad are always staying behind you.

Part 7 教师代表致辞 Teacher Address
幽默风趣、思维活跃的Mr. Chris Brown和Mr. Dylan Maksym作为教师代表，和大家分享他们和毕业生们的点点滴滴。
Mr. Chris Brown, Mr. Dylan Maksym, humorous and active faculty representatives, then took the stage to share his experiences and memories with the graduates.
Mr. Chris Brown:
高中毕业是大多数人人生中的第一个重大成就。当然，成长路上有很多挫折和胜利，但高中毕业是不同的。这是对一个人辛勤工作的认可。所以，请享受这一刻。 你可能会觉得有必要立即进入下一步。但是，请为自己花几周时间，并规划你的未来。你还年轻，有很多时间。 你可能会有“下一步是什么”的感觉？你们中的许多人将继续在海外上大学。但在你走之前，我想提醒你我高中毕业后学到的一课，现在仍然认为非常重要：你不必马上把所有事情都弄清楚。甚至一直是这样。但我希望你记住两件事：第一，你总是可以在家人、朋友（和老师）的支持下重新站起来，他们将永远在那里提供帮助。第二，当你觉得自己落后与别人，而且你没有把事情弄清楚时，请记住——其他人有时也会有这种感觉。
Graduating High School is most people’s first major achievement in life. Sure, there are many setbacks and victories along the way but finishing High School is different. It is a big and public acknowledgement of a person’s hard work. Please, enjoy this moment. You might feel compelled to move on to the next step right away. But please, take a few weeks for yourself and aim squarely at what you want your future to look like. You’re still young and you have lots of time.
You might get the feeling of “what next”? Many of you will go on to university overseas. But before you go, I want to remind you of a lesson I learned after high school and still consider to be very important: you don’t have to have everything figured right away. Or really, ever. But I want you to remember two things: one, you can always get back up with the support of your family, friends (and teachers) who will always be there to help. Two, when you feel you are falling behind, and you don’t have things figured out please remember – everyone else feels like that sometimes too.
Mr. Dylan Maksym
同学们，今天我们在这里，庆祝你们人生中的一个重要里程碑。对于在场的每一位同学，我感到无比自豪。这不仅因为你们完成了在教科的这段旅程，更因为在过去的三年学习中，你们展现了非凡的韧性和决心。另外我想告诉大家，成功不仅在于取得好成绩，更在于过程中如何成就自我。在人生道路上，希望你们始终选择真正能提升你、激励你，并且在逆境中支持你的人为伍，坚持正确的人生道路。感谢过去时光你们带来的美好回忆和欢声笑语，这些都造就了我们的学校也是你们未来的母校“教科”！最后希望你们勇敢追求自己的梦想，创造更加美好的未来。
Graduates, today we are here to celebrate a remarkable milestone in your lives. As I look out at all of you, I am filled with immense pride. Not just because you’ve reached the end of this journey, but because of the extraordinary resilience and determination you’ve shown, especially over these past three years. Remember, success isn’t just about getting good grades, it’s about the person you become along the way. Surround yourself with people who uplift you, who challenge you to be better, and who support you through the highs and lows. Graduates, I know you will make the World a better place with your passion, talents, and hearts. Thank you for the memories, the laughs, and being a part of this great place, we call “Jiaoke”! Good luck Sea Otters!

好似昨日的我们还是十年级自我介绍时青涩的模样，今天在此已经要告别高中成为大学生了。这三年时间说长也长，说短也短。还记得我们体育课的12分钟跑吗，还记得疫情期间上网课的日子吗，还记得夏日里的color play和water fight吗？在这离别的六月，最后一次关上locker，踏出校门的我回头望去，脑海中闪过了无数的场景。
I still remember when we first joined the BC program. Everything was brand new to us, but we were not afraid to keep trying new things and get out of our comfort zones. Remember the 12-minute run in our grade 10 PE class, the days of online classes during the epidemic, the color play and water fights, the Halloween and winter parties? In this June of saying goodbye, when I closed my locker and stepped out of the school gate, countless scenes flashed through my mind.
在今天，我们也想表达对教科所有老师们的感谢。感谢教科的外教老师们每一天传授我们专业知识，带领我们做社团活动。这里的校园生活是如此多姿多彩，给了我们无数成长和锻炼的机会。感谢中方老师和班主任们对我们生活和学业上的帮助，感谢Dr.Ted给每一位同学升学上的指导。这三年里，感谢爸爸妈妈的陪伴，他们总是在我们身后默默地支持着我们，让我们的生活如此幸福和充实。
On this day, we would also like to express our gratitude to all the teachers. Thank you, Mr. Hu. Although you didn’t give me extra credit for my solids of revolution project, I have gained so much from your patient teaching through the difficult calculus contents. Thank you, Mr. Philips, for sending us greetings of howdy, Rachel and I really miss the time being your first Physics 12 students. And even though Mr. Scott is not here, I would like to thank him and Mr. Brown for sparking my interest in the field of Business, and Dr. Ted for guiding every one of us to universities.
18岁的我们拥有着无限的可能，今天之后大家就要在世界各地追寻自己的梦想了，我们的精彩才刚刚开始，我们的未来是星辰大海！
At the age of 18, we have unlimited possibilities. After today, you will be pursuing your dreams all over the world, ready to start a new adventure!
