On August 11th, Sendelta welcomed 200 vibrant freshmen. To help these newbies integrate into the campus quickly, various departments of the school meticulously planned a three-day series of activities. Every link is filled with Sendelta's unique warmth and vitality. After three days, the freshmen have gained knowledge, found a sense of belonging, and embarked on a wonderful prospect of studying international courses.

Academics as the Foundation: Igniting the Spark of Knowledge

国际课程的学习充满挑战，但新哲为新生们铺就了清晰的路径。AP/AL学部宣讲和选课说明会，像一盏明灯，帮助学生厘清学习框架；实验操作安全培训则严谨细致，传递着学校对学术规范的重视。

Studying international courses comes with challenges, but Sendelta has paved a clear path for freshmen. The AP/AL department briefings and course selection guidance sessions help students clarify their learning frameworks; the rigorous and detailed laboratory operation safety training conveys the school's emphasis on academic norms.

而别开生面的Spelling Bee单词拼写大赛，更以轻松竞技的形式让新生意识到语言能力的重要性——颁奖台上绽放的笑脸，正是学术旅程的第一份自信。

The Spelling Bee competition, in the form of a relaxed competition, makes freshmen aware of the importance of language proficiency - the smiles on the award stage are the first sign of confidence in their academic journey.

Ice-Breaking: From "Me" to "Us"

"How to make friends quickly?" Sendelta's answer lies in every interaction.

新生心理体验活动是拉近彼此距离的 “催化剂”。在活动中，新生们放下拘谨，勇敢地介绍自己，与身边的同学交流互动。他们不仅认识了更多的伙伴，还了解了学校各个部门的功能，知道在遇到问题时可以向哪里求助。这种轻松愉快的氛围，让新生们在短时间内就打破了隔阂，感受到了集体的温暖。

The freshman psychological experience activity is a "catalyst" for getting closer to each other. Freshmen let go of their shyness, introduce themselves, interact with each other, get to know their peers, and understand the functions of various school departments. In a short time, they break down barriers and feel the warmth of the collective.

In the senior-junior meeting, excellent and enthusiastic seniors form groups with freshmen, answering questions such as the confusion of transferring from public schools to international schools and campus accommodation and catering, and sharing their experiences. Everyone has  groupchats, so that freshmen have "guides" and feel more at ease about campus life.

校外CS比赛将活动的氛围推向了高潮。在紧张刺激的游戏中，新生们并肩作战，为了团队的胜利共同努力。在游戏的过程中，他们忘记了彼此的陌生，默契逐渐形成，友谊也悄然滋生。

The CS competition pushes the atmosphere to a climax. Freshmen fight side by side, strive for the team's victory, forget their strangeness, form tacit understanding, and foster friendship.

Campus Exploration: Falling in Love with Sendelta Through Games

新生探校是新哲的“独创活动”，原创剧本+沉浸式探校玩法将校园变成了一个巨大的解谜舞台。新生们化身“侦探”，在舞蹈室、实验室、报告厅之间穿梭，剧本杀的紧张与团队协作的快乐交织，校园建筑、各场室的功能、特色社团就在这“探案”过程中被深深印在了新生脑海中。谜题揭晓时，友谊的种子也已悄然发芽——那些击掌欢呼的瞬间，正是集体凝聚力的最好见证。  

The freshman campus exploration is Sendelta's "original signature activity". The original script plus immersive exploration makes the campus a huge puzzle-solving stage. Freshmen turn into "detectives", shuttling between the dance studio, laboratory, and lecture hall. In the tension of the script killing and the joy of teamwork, they keep in mind the campus functions. When the puzzle is solved, the seeds of friendship have quietly sprouted - the moments of clapping and cheering are the best proof of collective cohesion.

Epilogue: A Journey of Friendship and Dreams

原来开学可以这么快乐！这正是新哲文院最想传递的初心：在这里，学术与温情并重，每一颗星辰都能找到自己的轨道，璀璨生辉。 

"Who knew the start of school could be so much fun!" This is Sendelta's original aspiration: attaching equal importance to academics and warmth, allowing every star to find its orbit and shine brilliantly.

新学年的钟声已然敲响，带着对知识的敬畏、对集体的热爱，新少年们正满怀期待，奔赴下一场山海。

The bell of the new school year has rung. With reverence for knowledge and love for the collective, the new teenagers are full of expectations, heading for the next journey.
