Belief and choice make us Luctonians! Mr. Steven Yang, Chairman of Governors of Lucton School Chongqing, shared that, “Teaching others is teaching yourself. The improvements of our school come from the participation of students and parents. Sand makes a tower. The developments of the school are done by every employee. When there is a will there is a way. I hope every student can achieve your dreams with your determination and efforts. Floreat Luctona!”

Parents and Lucton School Chongqing work together on student development. Ms. Chen, President of FoL, wished students of Lucton School Chongqing good luck and reviewed the exciting activities of the past academic year.
“Since the Friends of Lucton committee was established last year, all of our families have been committed to establishing good communication channels between home and school and actively participated in management and education with the principle of solidarity, cooperation, trust and collaboration.
The Friends of Lucton organised a catwalk show at the Halloween Night to provide the opportunity to families to get to know each other; led an online parent psychological healing salon during the epidemic situation to resolve parent-child conflicts; and sang Christmas and New Year celebratory songs to bring all the families together online.” ——Ms. Chen

A group of parents presented an English poetry recital: IF, teaching students that life is full of numerous "what if" and how to face them. They must accept challenges, overcome difficulties, not be afraid of failure, and have the courage to start all over again after failure.
Afterwards, Daisy H and Iris H performed an instrumental ensemble, the Butterfly Lovers, which was a perfect collaboration. The comedy sketch, Vegetarian Me Apart, created by interns of the English Internship Programme made everyone laugh.

Looking back, memories including a wonderful class, a joyful interaction, a fierce competition, etc. are like a beautiful picture scroll unfolding in front of everyone.
Looking forward, “How I’ve improved? How I’ve become a better person and student?” Students gave their own answers: self-discipline, time management, self-reflection, attitude towards learning, etc. They will achieve success in their own way.
