“人格是在课堂之外形成的。” ——库尔特·哈恩

"Personality is shaped beyond the confines of theclassroom." - Kurt Hahn

 

尝试了很多次

还是失败了

Numerous attempts

Yet, still met with failure.

 

在325米高的人行栈道上，Aries无论如何也迈不开腿。恐高的他，人生第一次站上这个高度。他一度后悔，为何要来这个“鬼地方”。Aries鼓起勇气，徘徊了10分钟， 6次站上塔边，最终虽没做到“一倒倾城”，但击败恐高的种子已经有了一点点发芽的迹象。

有时候，努力了依旧不能取得期待的结果。这也是孩子们成长过程中必然经历的挫折。百炼成钢，成长亦如是。学生学会用积极的心态面对失败，比完成挑战更重要。

Aries, plagued by a fear of heights, stood on the 325mpedestrian walkway for the first time. He once questioned his decision toventure into this daunting situation. Nevertheless, Aries mustered his courage,wandered for 10 minutes, and ascended the tower six times but ultimately failedto conquer the fear of heights. However, a tiny seed of overcoming this fearhad been planted, showing signs of future growth.

Sometimes, despite our efforts, the desired outcomeremains elusive. This inevitable frustration is part of the growth process forchildren. It is more important for students to learn to face failure with apositive mindset than to complete challenges.

 

害怕，是因为没试过

Fear stems from a lack of experience.

 

早上的受挫，并不能让Aries就此止步。

“凌空探险”项目有红、蓝、绿线可选，其难度由高到低，Aries选择红线继续挑战。班主任询问他的状况时，Aries只是默默说了一句“我相信，我可以的。”Aries后来成功挑战了298米高的红线，并走完了千级步梯。

一个人内心的恐惧，往往来自对未知事物或新经历的不确定感。当他勇敢走出去，会发现那些害怕只是因为从未尝试过。无论何时，老师都鼓励学生迎接挑战，从失败中学习，愈挫愈勇。

Aries, the morning's frustration persists.

The "Skydive Adventure" project offeredthree options: red, blue, and green. Aries chose the challenging red line tocontinue his quest. When asked about his situation by the head teacher, Ariessilently uttered, "I believe I can do it." Subsequently, Ariessuccessfully tackled the 298-meter-high red line and triumphantly completed thethousand-step ladder.

The fear in one's heart often arises from uncertaintysurrounding unknown or new experiences. By bravely venturing forth, one realisesthat fear only exists because they have never attempted it. Teachersconsistently encourage students to embrace challenges, learn from failures, andgrow stronger.

 

一起走

比走得快更重要

Unity prevails

Over individual speed

 

站在距离地面约298米高的摇晃木板上，Alexander的心砰砰直跳。身处高空，眼前的风景很不一样，湛蓝的天空触手可及。往下看，高楼大厦变得那么低矮。虽然身上挂着安全绳索，但离开地面的安定感，让他感觉好像随时会掉下去。他拽着摇晃的绳子，不敢迈步，一度想退回起始位置，放弃挑战。

Standing atop a precarious board, suspended 298 metersabove the ground, Alexander's heart raced. From such heights, the perspectiveshifted, with the clear blue sky seemingly within reach and the once toweringbuildings now appearing diminutive. Although secured by a safety rope, theabsence of solid ground gave him an unsettling feeling, as if he could fall atany moment. Tugging at the swaying rope, he hesitated to take a step,contemplating retreating to his starting position and abandoning the challenge.

Star率先完成挑战，然后他走回Alexander身边，引导他，“你先把脚打开，成八字形，再看着我，慢慢走过来。”在Star的鼓励下，Alexander试着感受手中的绳索，营造内心的安全感，慢慢伸出脚往前走。在同学的鼓舞下，他们都抵达了终点。同伴的自信心和认知就在这样看似简单的小场景中被激活，他们真切地感受着身边的一切，直面自己内心的恐惧，勇敢拓展自己的心理边界，锤炼出强大的内心，同时用自身流动着的巨大能量感染他人。

Having completed the challenge first, Star returned toAlexander and instructed him, "Open your feet in a figure-eight pattern,look at me, and walk slowly." Encouraged by Star's words, Alexanderattempted to find solace in the rope's grip, cultivating an internal sense ofsecurity, and cautiously extended his feet forward. With the support of hisclassmates, they all reached the finish line. In this seemingly simple yetsignificant moment, the values and understanding of their peers were activated.They embraced their surroundings, confronted their inner fears, fearlesslyexpanded their psychological boundaries, and fostered resilient hearts.Simultaneously, their immense energy infected others, spreading positivity.

在高空绳索上，走在前面的同学不断回头鼓励后面的同学，整个广州塔都回荡着“加油，你可以”的声音，积极的能量滋养着每一个人。身处充满挑战的环境中，同学们互帮互助，携手同进。这正是学校所希冀的——团队协作，身心健康。学生们通过合作学习，培养团队精神和同理心，促进身心健康，学会拥抱机遇、战胜挑战。

While traversing the high-altitude rope, the studentswalking ahead consistently glanced back to encourage their trailing peers. Theresounding voices of "You can do it, keep going!" filled theGuangzhou Tower, nourishing everyone with positive energy. In a challengingenvironment, students witnessed the power of unity and cooperation. Thisembodiment of physical teamwork and mental well-being, represents the essenceof the school. Through collaborative learning, students develop a sense ofcamaraderie and empathy, promote physical and psychological health, and learnto embrace opportunities while overcoming challenges.

 

你们的陪伴

给我前行的勇气

Your presence

Gives me the courage to forge ahead

 

傍晚时分，孩子们在完成荧光彩绘、补充能量后，准备挑战最后一环——千级步梯。他们的家长早已在此等候，筋疲力尽的孩子将会和爸爸妈妈携手，一起迈过最后一关。

After completing their fluorescent paintings andreplenishing their energy in the evening, the children prepared to face thefinal stage - the thousand-step ladder. Their parents eagerly awaited theirarrival, and together, they would conquer the last step.

在整个登梯过程中，没有人催促、也没有人抱怨。速度快的同学会停下等待落后的同伴，还给他们安慰和鼓励。走在前面的家长，也会停下等待因疲惫而不想前行的孩子，默默陪伴他消化内心的抗拒。当孩子想要退缩时，总有一双大手，牵着他们往前走，让他们获得继续前行的勇气。有时，教育就是陪伴孩子一起经历挫折与挑战。爸爸妈妈接纳孩子的负面情绪，给予他们爱与支持。孩子获得足够的安全感，将不惧失败、勇于探索世界。

Throughout the ascent, no one rushed or complained.The faster students willingly paused, waiting for their slower companions,offering comfort and encouragement: "Come on, you're doing great!"The parents leading the way also stopped, patiently accompanying their hesitantchildren, helping them overcome their internal resistance. Whenever a childcontemplated retreat, a pair of supportive hands would guide them forward,instilling the courage to continue. Sometimes, education means navigatingsetbacks and challenges alongside your child. Parents accept their children'snegative emotions, providing them love and support. This approach grantschildren the security they need to explore the world, unafraid of failure.

夜幕降临。同学们放眼望去，远处是璀璨的珠江夜景，身边是亲朋好友。这一刻心中有无限豪迈，同学们忍不住开怀欢呼，庆祝全新蜕变的自己。

As night fell, the students gazed at the radiant PearlRiver in the distance, surrounded by their loved ones. They possessed boundlesscourage at that moment, cheering to celebrate their newfound transformation.

 

广州斐特思坚毅力系列课程，让同学们走出校园，他们在爬山、骑行、户外越野、高空探险等项目中锻炼抗逆力、锤炼坚韧的心性、打造自驱型的内核，体验户外课堂带给他们的能量和终身的积极影响。未来，孩子们独立面对未知的世界时，可以对自己充满信心，有坚定战胜一切的信念。

The Fettes College Guangzhou grit courses takestudents beyond the confines of the campus, engaging them in activities such asmountain climbing, cycling, outdoor cross-country, and high-altitudeadventures. These experiences cultivate resilience, fortify theirdetermination, foster self-motivation, and provide them with an enduringpositive impact from learning outdoors. In the future, when children face theunknown world independently, they will approach it confidently, firmlybelieving in their ability to overcome any obstacle.
