A cool breeze rises, summer lingers—another school year begins.
Sunlight spills into the renewed campus, as if every breath of air whispers: “Welcome home, dear students.”

On this first day, we skip the clichés. Instead, we bring you meaning, expectation, and a seed that holds the future.

Morning brings surprises at the school gate.

Principals and teachers wait with smiles, handing out specially designed “seed cards” to every student.

More than just paper, it’s a gift for the new semester—personally inscribed by Principal Gloria Gong with the words: “Rise toward the sun, grow day by day.” Inside, a real seed waits to be planted.

We believe every child is a seed—full of possibility and a unique future.

Students press the “Seed of Hope Light.” It glows, as if lighting up the hopes of the new semester.

In this moment, meaning and belonging shine through.

Separate opening ceremonies were held for elementary, middle, and high school—each solemn and warm.

Department heads and teacher representatives shared their wishes, encouraging students to stay grounded and aim high.

Principal Gloria Gong spoke with warmth and strength, inspiring everyone to chase dreams and make the most of their time.

She compared life to a “seed growing through cracks,” illustrating how growth continues even through difficulty.
She encouraged self-discipline, self-care, and balance, reminding everyone that the school and teachers will always support them.
Her final message: Rise toward the sun, grow strong, and keep surpassing yourselves.

Students listened attentively, their eyes bright with expectation.

The ceremony was not just an event—it was a gathering of hearts, strengthening bonds and purpose.

The bell rings, and the campus comes alive:

In classrooms, teachers are energetic and passionate. Students are focused and curious—energy flows, ideas spark.
In hallways, old friends laugh, new friends smile—shy at first, but soon part of the family.
On the playground, running, jumping, playing—the energy of youth fills every corner.

The first lesson is more than a return to learning—it’s a reunion of hearts and minds.

Through engaging activities and interactive teaching, students transition smoothly from holiday mode to learning mode.
Every class carries the same belief: a new semester is a new beginning. Everyone can redefine themselves and achieve something amazing.

As the day ends, students take their seed cards home—not just a keepsake, but a meaningful task:

Plant it with care, nurture it with patience, and record its growth with photos and notes.

In two weeks, submit this record to the SABS Media. Outstanding entries will be featured on the school’s official WeChat and other platforms.

From a seed to a day full of laughter—SABS Opening Day started with heart and continues with love.

Students, may you be like the seed:
Root deep, rise tall,
And let your light shine.
