“你不是愚人金，只在特定的光线下才发光。无论你成为谁，无论你把自己变成了什么，那就是你本来的样子。它一直在你心中。不是在剑桥，而是在于你自己。你就是黄金。回到杨百翰大学，甚至回到你家乡的那座山，都不会改变你是谁。那可能会改变别人对你的看法，甚至也会改变你对自己的看法。即便是黄金，在某些光线下也会显得晦暗，但那只是错觉，金子一直是金子。”
这是塔拉·韦斯特弗在《你当像鸟飞往你的山》中的句子。这位出身山区、十七岁前从未上过学，却奇迹般地成为剑桥大学哲学硕士、历史学博士的女孩，将自己一生的故事写进了这本自传中，多年来鼓舞着一代又一代的学子通过教育实现梦想的信心。如今教育仍旧发挥着它伟大的力量，赋予一个个年轻的生命以新的世界，像鸟儿飞往他们的山。

Congratulations to all the graduates of 2021.The achievement you have made is so amazing. 99.26% of you have been accepted by the top 100 universities in the US,and 86% of you will enter the top 100 world universities. As of today,we have received 1,084 offers from famous universities around the world. On average,each graduate has 4.4 universities to choose from.Among them,there are 257 offers from the universities whose rankings are higher than Bejing University and Shingwa University.As for the scholarships,we received more than 15,000,000 RMB.Compared to the previous years, the matriculation of this year is the best. We are proud of you. Let's give all the graduates a round of applause. Behind such fabulous achievement is very strong teamwork.First,I would like to thank all foreign and Chinese teachers for your dedication to teaching and professional instruction.And then I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the parents for your support and understanding. Without the teamwork,our students' dreams would not come to fruition.While we are enjoying the wonderful and unforgettable moment,there are several things I would like to remind all the graduates before you leave school. First,give your your full attention to your studies.As we know,one of the purposes for entering college is learning.Always be well-prepared for each course.Here I must specifically emphasize the seriousness of academic honesty.Academic dishonesty has become one of the reasons many Chinese students get expelled from universities. Second,be brave and act as a risk-taker.You will face lots of challenges and difficulties ahead from academic,cultural,and emotional aspects.Life is like the weather.There will be sunshine,rain,and even storms along the way.You need to be able to face anything that comes your way. So you must show your perseverance and courage to overcome all of the difficulties and obstacles.Remember people learn from the mistakes they make.When handled well, failure can teach us more than success.Third,enjoy your social life. Try to engage actively in all kinds of activities. Make as many friends from different countries as you can. You can learn outside of the classroom while having fun and experiencing new things. Again,congratulations to you all. I wish you all good luck and a bright future.

I am happy to have witnessed this graduation ceremony of 2021 today. Your age is the time in your life to find out yourself with your own. It's not suppose to be easy, you are supposed to have moment of uncertainty about which path to take because the 20 are full of crossroads. I would love to give you some suggestions as your friend and teacher when you about leaving. First,If you want something you never had,you have to do something you've never done.Second,Do what is right,not what is easy.We have to be brave enough to take on heavyresponsibilities, overcome difficulties and dare to show ourselves in the hardest places. Hope we can deepenour foundation to obtain a space, and postpone our enjoyment to achieve a career.
5华东康桥国际学校 林宇澔副校长
"Graduation" has different meanings for everyone here. Graduation, for teachers, represents pride. Graduation, for parents, may mean separation and reluctance. Graduation, for you, represents end, freedom, growth, glory and beginning. When you are about to open a new chapter and continue writing your new life stories, please remember, no matter how far you go, we will always care about you.
We will worry about whether you understand respect. When you face this diverse world, remember to respect the differences of others. It means taking a step back, considerate and understand the thoughts of others, knowing that we all come from different cultural and family backgrounds. Please remember the aspects of international mindedness that we have taught you.
We will worry about whether you understand gratitude. In the course of life, I hope that when you encounter setbacks and failures, someone can listen to your sorrows and share your frustrations; when you are tired and don’t want to move forward, someone will cheer you up and help you find your way back. When you are happy for success, someone will celebrate with you together. At that moment, you must remember to be grateful, because those silent support and love give you the most beautiful meaning of life. Therefore, Class of 2021, before you go today, please don’t forget to say thank you to your parents, teachers and friends who always accompany, support, and encourage you along the way.

作为一个家长，看到几乎所有在场的同学们迈入十八岁，踏上了成年人的征程。在过去的岁月里，你们不承认你们还小，但终会有一天你们会怀念这一段青葱的岁月。今天，就像过去每一次对你们的叮嘱一样：除了提醒即将出国的同学们利用暑假的时间学习如何在国外照顾自己之外，也想作为过来人和大家分享一些生活经验：做最好的准备，做最坏的打算。未来的世界究竟怎么样，对于这个问题我想我们都是学习者和经历者，我们还会遇到更多的事情，有美好的故事，也有困难的阻碍，我们能做的就是直面未来，往前看。在此，我引用孙中山先生的话：革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力！大鹏一日同风起，扶摇直上九万里。祝愿各位同学展翅翱翔！

一位已故篮球运动员曾经问过一名记者一个问题：“你知道洛杉矶每天早上四点钟是什么样子吗？” 相信大部分在座的各位，不管是通宵读书备考，通宵看电视剧，亦或者是通宵聊天；都曾见过夜深人静的康桥是什么样子的。大家以后回忆起来又会是一段一去不复返的时光。想想每天需要吃力地与课业拼的你死我活、参加社团活动、校队训练、准备标化考试、写文书等等，繁琐到令人窒息，压力山大，但也就是因为这样，才使我们有了继续勇往直前的动力。身边人都没有放弃，我又有什么半途而废的理由呢。很感谢在康桥能够遇到这样一群优秀，可爱，又很酷的人，没有你们的陪伴，难以想象如今的我会身处何处。
除了同学之外，相信各位这四年中想要感谢的人还有很多。其中一定会有让你们又爱又恨的任课老师、班主任，甚至是曾经或者是还没有被丢下泳池的各个主任或组长。再次感谢全体的教职人员。谢谢班主任们平常除了管理学生们的宿舍生活外，还需要为我们操心着学业生活外的麻烦事。感谢艺文中心的老师们，不断尝试着为校园生活加入人文艺术气息。感谢升学辅导组的老师，面对家长们排山倒海的问题，以及修改同学们一个又一个写得密密麻麻的文书。感谢校队的教练，在训练中引导着我们脚踏实地，一步一脚印地往上爬，并在比赛中教导我们坚持到底，不要放弃希望，若就此放弃的话，比赛便等于已经结束了。最后要感谢校园里每一个部门里，默默工作着的各位老师们，谢谢你们的付出让我们成长至今。
8毕业生代表 12K 范棣旸
Six years ago, when I first made the decision to step into the campus of KCIS, I couldn’t even imagine the colorful school life ahead. Since then, I learned knowledge, gained experience, improved skills and expended visions. However, I think the best part of high school is not about one’s self, but something more. Everyone, please look around ourselves. Among these familiar faces, no matter if they are ones you like, ones you don’t really like or even ones you have never spoken to, they have all become part of us as memories and made who we are today. Cherish this moment as it will never happen again in our lives.
Now, to my own friends and close ones, there were times when I seriously doubted decisions of coming to Kang Chiao and to my current department, but now I am proud that we are all survivors and I am definitely not regretful, because where on Earth would I be able to meet all of you guys that I love and care for the most, if not here?
Of course, the glory and accomplishments we share today also belongs to those who stand behind us. I am talking about our teachers, who have always provided us knowledge and experience with patience and care, directors and the principal who manage our school lives and support various activities, and school staffs (especially teachers in the DSA) who we’ve always try to outsmart. Thank you for your selfless devotion and dedication, and I wish future graduates will behave better. Most importantly, I have to send my special thanks and love to my mom and dad, because I know that physically, emotionally (and financially), they will always be there for me.
Today, June 4th 2021, marks the end of a part of our lives, but it also represents the beginning of a whole new chapter. It might be true that we are living in an uncertain time and the journey ahead will be full of adversities and hardships, but I always believe that with great challenge come great opportunities. To conclude this speech, I sincerely hope that five or ten years later, no matter where we’ll be, who we’ll become, when stumble upon an old photo of Kang Chiao, we will smile and say “oh yea, I was here”

02校歌合奏
全体毕业生起立，最后一次集体唱颂康桥校歌——《这里有爱等我带走》。
当青春绽开了笑容，握起坚定的双手，
小树刻划出了年轮，蝴蝶飞舞过寒冬；
当音乐响彻了山谷，网络扩大了地图，
每个生命都很独特，都在努力的生活。
欢笑中，我欣赏着世界无限的选择，
没有魔法也能做英雄；
挫折中，我锻炼着创造需要的创痛，
擦干眼泪还会有朋友。
这里有爱等我带走，这里有梦等我去追求，
从城堡走向海洋，从未知变成富有；
这里有爱等我带走，这里有梦等我去成就，
从天窗看见彩虹，我相信我能拥有。
Kang Chiao brings me the world.
毕业典礼，
既是一个起点也是一个终点，
相信对华东康桥全体毕业生而言，
这意味着正式从高中步入大学，
从国内通往世界，
更是一个意义非凡的人生节点。
既然选择了远方，
便只顾风雨兼程，
愿你们乘风破浪，
成就自己，成就未来！
