秋光潋滟，桂子含香。重阳将至，世外小学国际部以“孝亲敬老”为主题，将温暖从校园延伸至社区。导行课上，全体师生共同聆听关爱老人的倡议——“用心陪伴”“主动分担”“跨越数字鸿沟”“涵养敬老美德”，四个关键词不仅是“关爱与责任”的具象表达，更在孩子心中埋下行动的种子。
与此同时，四五年级学生在语文组老师的组织下，提笔挥毫，将真挚祝福凝于翰墨，为这场温情实践写下庄重而温暖的序章。
重阳当日，师生与家长代表携手走进寿益坊社区。
活动在小主持吴将、陈若嘉清亮的声音中开启，五年级胡莞持同学一曲《如愿》婉转动人，褚芊妤的《向阳而生》则唱出了生命的希望。孩子们用动人的歌声温暖着老人们的心田，现场响起阵阵掌声。
小记者们认真倾听爷爷奶奶的故事，一个个可爱的提问，唤起了爷爷奶奶童年的时光，一句句贴心的话语，一次次紧握的双手，让年龄的鸿沟在温情中消融。这些细微之举，看似平凡，却让社区弥漫着欢声笑语。
正如世外小学多年坚持的传统，这场活动不仅是节日的问候，更是一堂生动的“爱与责任”实践课。孩子们在付出中学会担当，在陪伴中理解奉献。一位奶奶动情地说：“感谢世外小学孩子们每年进社区和老人一起度过重阳节，希望小朋友好好学习，今天我觉得自己特别幸福！”这份幸福，源于真诚的互动，源于家校社联袂搭建的温情桥梁，也源于每一颗愿意传递光亮的美丽心灵。
微光成炬，向善而行。这个重阳节，世外学子用行动诠释了“老吾老以及人之老”的深厚内涵，也让“Well being幸福力”在给予与接收之间循环增值,这正是教育最动人的模样。

Hearts Across
Generations:
Warmth and Care on the Double Ninth Festival
WFLPS International Department Students Visit Shouyi Fang Community to Respect the Elderly
The autumn scenery is radiant, and osmanthus blossoms
fragrance the air. As the Double Ninth Festival approached, the International
Section of Shi Wai Primary School launched a heartwarming initiative with the
theme of "Filial Piety and Respect for the Elderly," extending warmth
from the campus to the community. During a guidance lesson, all teachers and
students listened to a proposal about caring for the elderly.
Four key phrases –
"Heartfelt Companionship,"
"Taking Initiative to Share Burdens,"
"Bridging the Digital Divide," and
"Cultivating the Virtue of Respecting the Elderly" –
were not just concrete expressions of "Caring and Responsibility" but also sowed the seeds of action in the children's hearts.
Meanwhile, under the organization of the Chinese Language Group, the fourth and fifth-grade students picked up their brushes to practice calligraphy early on. They poured their sincere blessings into their ink strokes, composing a solemn yet warm prelude to this compassionate practice.
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, teachers, students, and parent representatives hand in hand entered the Shouyi Fang Community. The event commenced with the clear voices of the young hosts, Wu Jiang and Chen Ruojia. Fifth-grader Hu Wanchi's heartfelt rendition of the song "As Wish" was touching, while Chu Qianyu's "Growing Toward the Sun" sang of the hope of life. The children's moving songs warmed the hearts of the elderly present, evoking waves of warm applause.
The young reporters listened attentively to the stories shared by the grandparents. Their adorable questions evoked memories of the elders' own childhoods. Kind words exchanged and hands held tightly – the generational gap melted away within this warmth. These seemingly small gestures, ordinary as they may seem, filled the community with joy and laughter.
As a long-standing tradition of the International Section, this event is far more than a festive greeting; it is a vivid practical lesson in "Love and Responsibility." The children learned about commitment through giving and understood dedication through companionship. One grandmother emotionally said, "Thank you to the children of Shi Wai Primary School for coming to the community every year to spend the Double Ninth Festival with us seniors. I hope the children study well. Today, I feel incredibly happy!" This happiness stems from genuine interaction, from the warm bridge built through the collaboration of family, school, and community, and from every beautiful heart willing to pass on light.
Sparks of kindness unite to form a torch, guiding actions toward goodness. This Double Ninth Festival, the children of the International Section embodied the profound meaning of the adage, 'Respect the elderly in your own family and extend this to the elderly in other families.' They also allowed the seeds of "Well-being" to cycle and grow through giving and receiving. This is truly the most touching form of education.
