Houses/Clans In Internaional Schools


International schools all have Houses/Clans.


The idea of the clan and a sense of belonging is central not only to the school but to human nature. As a school, we want students to develop key skills and to enhance their sense of community and teamwork by becoming actively involved in clan events. Our four clans, Balmoral, Edinburgh, Lomond, and Nevis, encompass this idea of a society and a sense of belonging. We aim to build on the rich history already established through the clan system here at MIS. One look at the Clan leader boards, hanging proudly on the main floor of the main school building, demonstrates the quality of individuals that we have had leading the individual clans throughout the young life of MIS. 


The clan system is at the heart of how the school runs, with academic merits, musical achievements, and sporting prowess all combining to determine which clan wins the Clan Cup at the end of the academic year. We encourage all students to get involved, as each different clan event tests a diverse range of skills and all help to develop the holistic nature of the child. In this manner, we can ensure that all students at MIS experience an elite education and we hope that throughout their time at school, every student feels safe and happy within their respective clan. These are led by the student Clan Captains, a prestigious role and one that brings with it leadership opportunities at every turn. Good luck to all this year and we know, after experiencing the excellent Clan Cross Country, that all events this year will be conducted in a competitive yet friendly and good-natured manner.

国际学校的“部落”制度


每一所国际学校都有自己的院舍或者部落。


“部落”信念和归属感不仅是学校文化建设工作中的重要组成部分,也是学生心理健康发展的必备条件。作为一所学校,我们希望学生能够积极参与部落活动,从而提高各项核心技能,增强集体荣誉感和团队合作精神。曼校四大部落分别名为爱丁堡、洛蒙徳、尼维斯、巴尔莫勒尔,从部落命名到活动组织都贯彻了培养学生团结友爱心和集体荣誉感的理念。深圳曼校希望用部落制度接住爱丁堡母校传下的百年精神衣钵。每当大家走过主教学楼的一楼,就能看到骄傲矗立在墙上的部落公告板,那上面公布了各大部落领袖的名单,展示了部落成员应具备的美好品质。

 

部落制度是维持学校运转良好的关键。全校上下无论在学业、音乐还是体育方面,都以部落为单位展开友好竞争,各维度的综合实力决定了每学年结束时,哪个部落能够获得冠军奖杯。各项部落活动的目标侧重点不同,旨在锻炼学生各方面的技能、提高学生的综合素质,因此我们鼓励每一位同学踊跃参与部落活动,为自己所在的部落出一份力。只要加入部落,学生就能体验到曼校精英教育的精髓。部落制度能让每一位曼校学子都被浓浓的安全感和幸福感包围。每个部落均选出一名学生部落首领,这一角色肩负重任和荣誉,每一次的部落活动都是对其领导能力的考验和提升。随着本周的“全校越野跑”比赛,本学年的校级部落赛事已拉开帷幕,相信在后续的各项部落比赛中,我校学生都将全情投入,与此同时坚持“友谊第一,比赛第二”的运动员精神。




曼校部落


我们的部落名称均源自苏格兰丰富的人文与自然景观。


Edinburgh


爱丁堡为苏格兰首府,著名的爱丁堡城堡便坐落在其中。俯瞰着整个城市,并存有苏格兰王冠与命运之石。


Lomond


洛蒙徳湖全长70km,为全英最大的内陆淡水湖。该湖泊坐落在特罗萨克斯国家公园,一个满是赤鹿和橡树林的美丽公园。


Nevis


本尼维斯山是不列颠群岛中最高的山脉,海拔1345米。本尼维斯山临近威廉堡,属于苏格兰高地上格兰扁山脉的一部分。


Balmoral


自1852年起,巴尔莫勒尔城堡就是英国皇家居住地之一。它位于英国苏格兰阿伯丁郡皇家迪赛德,现在隶属于伊丽莎白女王。这座城堡尽显苏格兰贵族式建筑风格,被苏格兰历史环境局列为 A 级保护建筑。
