At the end of the 2022, Chongqing met a sudden Covid spread, and everyone’s life has been paused in a way, but learning never stops.

Although laughter from the students would be absent from Lucton campus, but our teachers and students gathered online, switched the traditional class to online mode, and started their home learning life. Students at Lucton have kept learning and exercising in an orderly manner during special times, jointly started the "turning" of thinking, and worked together to break through the difficulties.

The philosophy of academic torrents and pastoral care are the core of Lucton. Our academic team has comprehensively observed the performance and status of students in teaching seminars, and analysed teaching approaches and improvement. Before online classes start, teachers prepare for the technological test in advance, present the teaching content through rich and multi-level materials, encourage interaction, and ensure students' enthusiasm and participation. At the same time, many teachers are trying to adopt innovative teaching methods to ensure students' learning quality in special times.

Students have been practicing their drawing techniques and exploring their rooms to find interesting objects to draw using various line-making techniques in Art & Design class. During this period, students have effectively complete homework, connected online to attend fitness class, and shared their thoughts and feelings about studying at home with teachers every week to ensure their learning progress and physical and mental health.

Online studying allow students to have more personal time. It is a great opportunity to develop students' time planning ability, habit of using time reasonably and efficiently, and meet better selves.
1.Proper Time Allocation
As the saying goes, preparedness ensures success, and unpreparedness spells failure. At home, students can create a daily schedule to follow, specify the time of achieving the goal, learn how to plan their life starting from planning personal time, and put into action accordingly.

2.Normal Routine
Without direct management from school, students should also keep good daily routine, and avoid staying up late. Sufficient rest is the key for the body and spirit to better operate. A good biological clock is crucial to maintaining the vitality of a human body and learning efficiency.
3.Less Procrastination& More Concentration
The learning environment at home is undoubtedly different from that at school. Under the guidance of teachers, we believe that each student has prepared his own learning space/corner where it is easier to focus and avoid procrastination by eliminating distractions and temptations.

4.Mood Regulation
Negative emotions are familiar to all of us as they will appear from time to time in our lives, and every time they will make unremitting efforts to dominate our emotional status. In this case, we can try shifting our attention to relieve anxiety, irritability and other negative emotions by doing exercises, reading, listening to music, creating something, playing games, and talking to people.
5.Try Something New
Life needs us to create some freshness especially now. You might as well take this opportunity to try some things that you have always wanted to do but haven't started yet, such as learning to cook, speaking a new language, doing 100 Jumping Jacks every day... If you keep on doing it for more than 7 days, you may find a new you.

No man is an island. At Lucton School Chongqing, the Board staff with psychology degree also provided online counseling and support for all the students and staff. In fact, there is no absolute difference between good and bad circumstances. Good and bad are merely two sides of a coin. During this special time, we hope every Luctonian can support and care for each other and maintain a good status together.

Learning and dreaming never end. The various sceneries of Lucton live inside the hearts of every Luctonian. Every cloud has a silver lining. Let’s meet on our beautiful campus soon.
