啟明星市場(chǎng)部也對(duì)查永茂博士進(jìn)行了簡(jiǎn)短采訪：

問(wèn)：在您看來(lái)，學(xué)校應(yīng)該幫助學(xué)生在哪些方面做好應(yīng)對(duì)未來(lái)世界的準(zhǔn)備？

答：有兩點(diǎn)是學(xué)校教育最為需要關(guān)注的：首先，知識(shí)總是不斷擴(kuò)展、快速發(fā)展的，要學(xué)生在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)階段掌握全部知識(shí)內(nèi)容并不現(xiàn)實(shí)。所以對(duì)學(xué)生而言，能夠進(jìn)行適應(yīng)性強(qiáng)、又能隨時(shí)調(diào)整的終身持續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)能力至關(guān)重要。另外，價(jià)值觀和品格一旦形成會(huì)伴隨和影響人的一生，因此，相關(guān)方面的培養(yǎng)也特別重要。

問(wèn)：是什么原因讓您決定加入啟明星？

答：我對(duì)雙語(yǔ)雙文化的學(xué)習(xí)方式充滿熱情。我相信這樣的學(xué)習(xí)方式能為創(chuàng)建一個(gè)更美好、更和平的世界帶來(lái)最大的希望。啟明星的愿景與使命和我關(guān)于雙語(yǔ)雙文化學(xué)習(xí)的理念高度契合。所以，我希望能成為啟明星教育和學(xué)習(xí)之旅的一分子！

問(wèn)：我們想聽(tīng)聽(tīng)您對(duì)啟明星的觀感？

答：?jiǎn)⒚餍钦幵诳焖侔l(fā)展的過(guò)程中，而且方向是正確的。它以卓越和團(tuán)結(jié)為重點(diǎn)，并以關(guān)愛(ài)、服務(wù)、尊重等核心價(jià)值為支撐，為學(xué)校的未來(lái)奠定了堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。

問(wèn)：您有什么話想要和我們的家長(zhǎng)說(shuō)嗎？

答：教育是我們能給予孩子最寶貴且持久的禮物。作為管理團(tuán)隊(duì)的一員，我會(huì)始終將學(xué)習(xí)者和學(xué)習(xí)置于所有決策和實(shí)踐的中心。

相信查永茂博士的加入會(huì)為啟明星的發(fā)展帶來(lái)更大助力，我們熱烈歡迎他！

啟明星創(chuàng)始人：如果孩子要在成長(zhǎng)的路上走得更遠(yuǎn)......

In the new academic year, Dr. Malcolm Pritchard, former Head of School of The Independent Schools Foundation Academy (ISF) in Hong Kong, has officially joined the Daystar Advisory Board!

ISF is a renowned IB school in Hong Kong offering an immersive bilingual curriculum in Chinese and English, with graduates admitted to top universities such as the Ivy League universities, Oxford, and Cambridge.

Dr. Pritchard served as ISF’s Head of School and in other leadership roles for 16 years, bringing with him extensive experience in managing bilingual immersion programs and in teacher training.

This summer, Dr. Pritchard has already begun communicating with the Daystar leadership team, providing highly insightful and practical suggestions on school management and academic planning.

Dr. Malcolm Pritchard

? Bachelor’s degree from the University of Queensland, Master of Arts and Graduate Diploma in Education from Monash University, and PhD from the University of Melbourne

? Former CEO of The ISF Pre-School and The ISF Academy Foundation, as well as Head of School at ISF Academy; Former Principal of Kormilda College (an IB independent school in Darwin, Australia); Former Deputy Principal of Caulfield Grammar School in Melbourne, and Founding Head of its Nanjing campus focused on Chinese language and culture immersion

? Founding Chair of the China and Mongolia IB Schools Association; Board member of the IB Asia-Pacific Regional Council; Member of the Boards of the Council of International Schools (CIS) and Australian International Schools Accreditation Authority; Founding Board Member of Shenzhen Mingde Experimental School

? Fellow of the Australian College of Educators (FACE), Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management (FAIM), and Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD)

Dr. Pritchard also sincerely shared with us his vision of what education should look like.

Q：How should schools prepare its students for the future?

A：Knowledge is constantly expanding and rapidly evolving; mastery of content at school is therefore impractical. Lifelong or continuous learning that is adaptive and nimble is essential. Values and character will endure for a lifetime. These two aspects are what schools need to focus on most in education.

Q: Why did you decide to join the Advisory Board of Daystar Academy?

A: I am passionate about bilingual/bicultural learning as it offers the best hope for a better and more peaceful world. The Daystar vision and mission align strongly with my own views on this particular approach to learning. I want to be part of this journey.

Q: What is your impression of Daystar Academy?

A: Daystar is on its own rapid developmental journey, but it is heading in the right direction. A focus on excellence and unity, underpinned by essentials such as caring, service, respect, creates a strong foundation for the future.

Q: Any message for our parents?

A: Education is the most precious and enduring gift we can offer our children. As a part of the governance team, my approach will always be one that places the learner and learning at the center of any decision, policy, or practice.

We warmly welcome Dr. Pritchard and believe that his joining will greatly contribute to Daystar’s development!
