How do we welcome the new year under the COVID-19 pandemic? SUIS Qingpu’s first flag-raising ceremony of 2022 has given us the answer, and that is to follow the motto of the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympic Games, “Together for a Shared Future”, to advocate the universal goal of unity, peace, optimism, encouragement and inclusiveness.
Voices from all over the world
For the voice of unity, our foreign teachers, coming from various countries around the world, taught us how to say “Happy New Year” in their native languages, so that we could then wish the world a Happy New Year during the Beijing Winter Olympics
The sound of a bright future
For the voice of optimism, the cheerleaders from our Cheerleading Club led us in a dance for the Winter Olympics. We danced to the future with energy and optimism. We shook off all regrets from the previous year and cheered for ourselves and for the athletes around the world in this new year.
Share the voice of New Year’s resolutions
For the voice of encouragement, Vice-Principal Flora shared her New Year’s blessing in which she summarized the school’s curricular construction, student achievements and the teachers’ research work over the past year. She also introduced some important goals for 2022. Lastly, she wished us farewell to the COVID-19 pandemic so that we could live and study freely once again around the world.
Let us come together for a Shared Future in 2022!
