The golden autumn brings refreshing coolness, and the branches are laden with ripe fruits. To welcome the arrival of the new semester and unite the strength of teachers and students to forge ahead, the opening ceremony of the 2026 autumn semester of Longgao High School was successfully held on the afternoon of September 1st. All the teachers and students gathered together, embarking on a brand-new chapter of the campus with a full spirit.
During the academic recognition session, the school commends students who have achieved excellent results in individual subjects in international examinations, made significant academic progress, and demonstrated outstanding academic performance. One honor after another not only affirms the students' past hard work and dedication, but also inspires all the students to learn from the virtuous, strive for excellence, set goals and forge ahead in the new semester.
Subsequently, Wang Jiageng, an outstanding student representative from Class 2401, took the stage to speak. He shared his insights on growth around rules and freedom. He mentioned that rules are not constraints on freedom; only by abiding by them can one achieve a higher level of freedom. Looking back on his high school growth journey, he did not choose to take shortcuts. Instead, he persisted in doing the ordinary things like attending classes, doing homework and correcting corrections carefully, and achieved self-breakthrough through the persistence day after day. He encouraged the freshmen of Grade 10 to reflect on themselves and lay a solid foundation. Encourage the students in their second year of high school to keep a calm mind and find the right balance. Call on senior three students to go all out and make a final push. He reminded all the students to refuse to take shortcuts, to take responsibility with self-discipline, and to grasp their own future through perseverance.
Principal Zhang Qionghui delivered a speech for the new term, expressing her earnest expectations to all the students based on the current development background of the AI era. She pointed out that in the current era of rapid development of artificial intelligence, students should hold fast to their original intentions, always maintain their enthusiasm for knowledge, persist in in-depth thinking, and not rely on tools at the cost of giving up the ability to think independently. There is no shortcut to learning. What matters is persistence. I hope all the students can settle down and accumulate knowledge steadily, hone their skills and find their own direction in the tide of The Times.
At the end of the ceremony, a fun interactive session called "Back-to-School Lucky Star" was set up. In a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, this opening ceremony came to a successful conclusion. A new term, a new beginning. This opening ceremony is not only a look back but also a departure. May all teachers and students hold onto their enthusiasm and original aspiration, abide by the rules, think carefully and persevere. In the new semester, they should be down-to-earth and head towards their own broad horizons.
