当AI的浪潮席卷而来，重复的技能被快速迭代，机械的努力逐渐失去壁垒——一个值得深思的问题，摆在每一个青少年面前：

在AI时代，如何才能不被替代？

答案，或许就藏在“热爱”二字里。

它无法被算法复制，无法被程序模拟，是一个人最独特的生命印记，更是AI时代**级的竞争力。

在新哲，育人从不局限于知识的灌输。

我们始于对世界的好奇，成于对知识的深耕，更致力于守护每一份纯粹的热爱。以扎实的学术体系为支撑，以多元的成长平台为载体，我们陪伴每一位学生探索热爱、锤炼思维、建立信念——让他们在实践中突破自我，然后勇敢地，走向属于自己的远方。

本期【新少年】的主人公——黄子铭Gabriel，便用行动诠释了这份热爱的力量。

从香港到新哲，他见证了自己如何从一个被动的“卷王”，蜕变为一个主动的“追梦人”。如今的他，不仅手握香港科技大学全额奖学金，以及伦敦大学学院、加州大学圣地亚哥分校等**名校offer，更在成长中扛起了兄长的责任——因为在这里，追梦的路，从来不是他一个人在走。

两个弟弟先后追随他的脚步来到新哲。三兄弟同窗的这几年，他们在足球场上并肩奔跑，在合唱团里放声歌唱，在深夜里畅谈学业与未来。他们是彼此成长的见证者，也是对方青春里最坚实的依靠。

这不仅是一场关于个人蜕变的启航，更是一个少年，在时代的浪潮中，用热爱为自己、也为至亲之人，稳稳“定锚”的故事。

As the wave of AI sweeps across the world, repetitive skills are rapidly replaced, and mechanical effort gradually loses its edge. A deeply thought-provoking question lies before every teenager:

How can we avoid being replaced in the AI era?

The answer may lie in two simple words: passion.

It cannot be replicated by algorithms, nor simulated by programs. It is the most unique mark of one’s life—and the most valuable form of competitiveness in the age of AI.

At Sendelta, education goes far beyond the instillation of knowledge.We begin with curiosity about the world, grow through deep exploration of learning, and dedicate ourselves to protecting every sincere passion. Supported by a rigorous academic system and enriched by diverse growth platforms, we walk alongside each student as they discover their passion, sharpen their thinking, and build their beliefs. We empower them to break through their limits in practice and bravely head toward their own future.

The protagonist of this episode of New Generation Teens — Gabriel — embodies the power of such passion with his actions.

From Hong Kong to Sendelta, he has transformed from a passive high achiever into an active dream-chaser. Today, he has not only received a full scholarship from HKUST, but also offers from top universities including UCL and UCSD. More importantly, he has grown into a responsible elder brother. At Sendelta, he is never alone on his journey to pursue his dreams.

His two younger brothers later followed him to Sendelta. During their years studying together, the three brothers ran side by side on the football field, sang aloud in the choir, and talked late into the night about their studies and future. They witnessed each other’s growth and became the most reliable support in one another’s youth.

This is more than a story of personal transformation.It is the story of a young man who, amid the tides of the times, anchors himself—and his beloved family—with passion.

多元身份，

在热爱与责任中平衡绽放

Embracing Multiple Identities: Thriving in 

Balance Between Passion and Responsibility

“与在香港的学习生活相比，新哲给了我完全不同的成长空间。在这里，我可以真正选择自己想成为的样子，自由探索、自主规划。与此同时，学校也会为每一份热爱与选择提供支持和平台，让我能够大胆去尝试、去突破，尽情发掘属于自己的无限可能。”

身兼Burnning Vocal声乐社社长、Money Lover商业实践社社长，以及减小七合唱团团长三重身份，Gabriel在不同角色的切换中，步履不停，逐渐找到了热爱与责任的平衡点，让青春在多元体验中绽放出别样光彩。

活跃在校园各个

舞台的Gabriel

“最开始，我只是声乐社里一名普通的成员，参加‘十大歌手’比赛时，满心满眼都是自己唱什么歌、如何在舞台上展现最**的自己。但当我接过社长的接力棒，视角便彻底改变了——我不再只关注自身，而是开始思考如何让更多同学参与比赛，如何优化赛制让竞争更公平，如何设计活动让过程更新颖有趣，如何让校园里更多人感受到音乐的魅力与力量。对我而言，比赛的意义从来不是简单决出冠亚季军，而是希望每一位参与者都能坚守对唱歌的热爱，让音乐成为青春里最温暖、最治愈的陪伴。”

从参赛选手到活动的组织者、策划者

怀着这份初心，在策划校园十大歌手比赛时，Gabriel从赛制调整、活动宣传、现场统筹等多个方面悉心打磨，在团队伙伴的并肩协作下，两届比赛都办得有声有色、尽善尽美，成为校园里**影响力的文化活动之一。

2024、2025年校园十大歌手

除了音乐，商科更是Gabriel从小深耕的兴趣领域。G2年级时，他主动加入商业实践社，积极投身各类商业模拟挑战赛，在一次次博弈、决策与协作中，收获了满满的成就感与成长。担任社长后，他积极链接外部资源，带领社团成员参与专业课程、模拟拍卖、路演展示等核心活动，通过“课程体系+游戏化训练+实战竞赛”的模式，一步步引导成员从懵懂的“商业小白”，成长为能独当一面的“实战能手”。

商业实践社社团活动

作为两个不同类型五星社团的掌门人，Gabriel在实践中不断摸索，逐渐总结出一套专属的管理心得。“声乐社是艺术类社团，核心是守护大家的热爱，最重要的是营造自由包容的氛围。我需要定下最基本的规则，在不违反原则的前提下，让大家能轻松自在地交流、放声歌唱。”而商业实践社则偏向专业学术型，“它的核心在于培养大家的沟通表达与逻辑思维能力，我们常常通过小游戏、专题讲座、案例讨论等形式，碰撞思想火花，共同探索商业世界的奥秘。”

“担任社长后，我处理事情的方式变得愈发成熟稳重。最重要的收获，是学会了合理分工、懂得分担——比如把考勤工作交给副社长负责，让每个成员都分管不同板块，各司其职、各展所长。我深刻体会到，‘不会带团队，就只能自己干到死’，懂得借力、学会协作，才能把事情做得更好。当然，当有社员不遵守规则时，我也会主动找他们单独沟通，耐心倾听原因，真诚提出建议。”

作为减小七合唱团团长，Gabriel也曾面临棘手的挑战。“临近比赛时，大家都被繁重的课业压得喘不过气，排练的积极性越来越低，有时甚至只是敷衍了事，团队氛围也变得有些沉闷微妙。”面对这样的困境，他没有选择强硬批评，而是先与各声部长沟通，了解大家的压力与困惑，再由声部长分别与成员谈心，倾听每个人的心声，缓解大家的焦虑。“在那之后，大家重新燃起了斗志，主动调整状态，积极投入排练。那一刻，我深深明白，真正的领导力从来不是发号施令，而是用心倾听、用情沟通，是凝聚人心、共赴目标。”

2025香港校际合唱节（HKICF）

一份耕耘，一份收获。在Gabriel与小伙伴们的共同努力下，Burnning Vocal声乐社和Money Lover商业实践社均被评为新哲文院五星社团；减小七合唱团在刚刚落幕的2026香港校际合唱节（HKICF）中，作为**一所内地参赛中学，凭借出色的表现荣获高级组铜奖，用歌声展现了内地学子的风采。

Compared with my study and life in Hong Kong, Sendelta has offered me a completely different space for growth. Here, I can truly choose who I want to be, explore freely and plan my own path. At the same time, the school provides support and platforms for every passion and choice, allowing me to dare to try, break through, and fully unlock my unlimited potential.

As president of Burning Vocal, president of Money Lover Business Club, and conductor of Half Diminished 7th Choir, Gabriel moves seamlessly between these three roles. He keeps moving forward, gradually striking a balance between passion and responsibility, and making his youth shine brightly through diverse experiences.

“At first, I was just an ordinary member of Burning Vocal. When I joined the Top 10 Singers Competition, all I cared about was choosing the right song and showing my best on stage. But when I took over as president, my perspective changed completely. I no longer focused only on myself; instead, I began to think about how to involve more students, how to make the competition fairer, how to design more creative activities, and how to let more people on campus feel the charm and power of music.

To me, the competition is never just about picking winners. It is about helping every participant hold onto their love for singing, and making music a warm, healing part of their youth.”

With this vision, Gabriel carefully refined every detail of the Top 10 Singers Competition — from revising the rules and promoting the event to on-site coordination. With the joint efforts of his team, he ran two successful, well‑organized competitions that became some of the most influential cultural events on campus.

Beyond music, business has been a long-standing passion of Gabriel’s. In G2, he joined the Business Club and took an active part in various business simulation competitions. Through constant negotiation, decision-making and teamwork, he gained a strong sense of achievement and grew rapidly.

After becoming club president, he actively reached out to external resources and led members in professional courses, mock auctions, presentations and other core activities. Using a model of “structured courses + gamified training + real competitions”, he guided members from inexperienced beginners to confident, capable practitioners.

As leader of two different five-star clubs, Gabriel developed his own unique approach to leadership through practice.

“Burning Vocal is an art-based club. Its core is to nurture passion, and the most important thing is to create a free and inclusive atmosphere. I set basic rules, and within those principles, I let everyone communicate comfortably and sing freely.”

The Business Club, by contrast, is more academic and professional.“Its focus is developing communication and logical thinking. We often use games, workshops and case studies to exchange ideas and explore the business world together.”

“Becoming a club president made me much more mature and steady. The most important lesson I learned was how to delegate and share responsibilities. For instance, I assigned attendance tasks to the vice-president and let each member take charge of different areas, so everyone could play to their strengths.

I truly learned that if you don’t lead a team well, you will end up overworking yourself. Only by relying on others and working together can we achieve better results. When members break the rules, I talk to them privately, listen patiently, and offer sincere advice.”

As conductor of the Half Diminished 7th Choir， Gabriel also faced difficult challenges.

“As competitions approached, everyone was overwhelmed by heavy schoolwork. Their motivation for rehearsals dropped, and sometimes they just went through the motions. The team atmosphere became low and tense.”

Instead of criticizing harshly, he first spoke with the section leaders to understand the pressure and struggles of the members, then let the section leaders communicate heart-to-heart with the choir. In this way, he eased everyone’s anxiety.

“After that, everyone regained their energy, adjusted their attitude, and devoted themselves to practice. At that moment, I realized real leadership is not giving orders. It is listening with care, communicating sincerely, uniting the team, and moving forward toward a common goal.”

Hard work pays off.

• Burning Vocal and Money Lover Business Club were both awarded Five-Star Clubs at Sendelta.

• In the recently concluded 2026 Hong Kong Inter-school Choral Festival (HKICF), Half Diminished 7th Choir was the only mainland secondary school to compete. It won the Bronze Award in the Advanced Group, showcasing the confidence and talent of mainland students through song.

成长蜕变，

从插班生到手握多所**名校offer

From a Transfer Student to a Recipient

 of Offers from Multiple Top Universities 

身兼多职，Gabriel的高效学习秘诀，藏在每一份专注与规划里。他格外珍惜课堂上的40分钟，全程专注投入，高效吸收知识点，从根源上减少课下重复学习的时间。遇到大考季，他会合理分配精力，适当将社团活动交给身边的伙伴负责，把更多时间投入到备考中；非大考季，他则充分利用课堂时间以及课后的答疑环节夯实基础——新哲的每位老师都格外耐心，总能悉心解答他的疑问，为他的学业之路保驾护航。

在学科学习中，Sharoon老师的生物课和Lily老师的经济学课常常打破学科边界，用生动有趣的方式帮助Gabriel理解复杂概念；物理老师Rachel发现他对某些知识点掌握不够扎实，便会主动为他单独讲解，一章一章细致梳理；Doris老师则善于结合现实案例，让知识“活”起来；而Tom老师不仅教会他如何守时、负责地对待每一个截止日期，也让他领悟到许多待人处事的道理。正是在这样的学习氛围中，Gabriel在取得了预估4个A*的优异成绩，为申请英国、香港、美国等**名校奠定了坚实基础。

近年来，港校申请竞争日趋激烈，尤其是被誉为亚洲**商学院的港科大商学院，更是无数商科学子心中的理想殿堂。面对激烈竞争，Gabriel下足了功夫。

回想港科大的面试，他觉得自己的**表现是“敢于表达”。机考形式下，面对屏幕，无法从考官表情中判断自己的表现，如何最大程度地结合专业知识分析问题，考验的是平时的积累。“当时给我的问题是分析两个不同社交媒体的区别。因为我从小就对商科感兴趣，发展方向也很明确，所以在平时就会带着思考去观察和积累。”

积极参与公益活动，为“星星的孩子”献唱

除此之外，他的文书和活动经历中，巧妙地将热爱的音乐与商科结合起来：音乐公司实习、摆摊售卖演唱会周边、运营社交媒体账号……“我在文书中，将自己的兴趣爱好与专业方向深度融合，展现了音乐与商业碰撞的独特视角。”同时，学校的升学指导老师Tiffany也给予了他极大的帮助，全程跟踪他的申请流程，细致认真地解答每一个疑问，助力他在申请中充分发挥个人优势，少走弯路。

从长期学术深耕，到定制化申请策略，再到精准的申请前辅导，新哲的牛剑港三项目，始终为学生冲击**名校保驾护航，成为Gabriel升学路上最坚实的后盾。

除了学业上的巨大进步，Gabriel在个人能力上也实现了质的飞跃。“以前的我比较随意，甚至有些懒散，是班主任Joyce老师一步步鞭策我、引领我成长。”他坦言，当自己兼顾学习与社团活动感到力不从心时，是Joyce老师教会他分清事情的优先级，合理规划生活，这也让他的时间管理能力更上一层楼。“我经常和同学们开玩笑，说她就像我们整个班的‘妈妈’，一直默默守护着我们。”此外，合唱团的Sharon老师常常站在他的角度思考问题，鼓励他学会坚持、勇敢尝试。Sharon老师见证了他的每一步成长，始终给予他信任与支持，还为他提供了许多参与、协助团队事务的机会，让他在一次次实践中不断学习、突破自我，变得更加自信、从容。

Widely recognized as a “master of time management” on campus, Gabriel owes his academic efficiency to intense focus and careful planning. He treasures every minute in class, staying fully engaged to absorb knowledge effectively, which greatly reduces the need for extra review after class.

During exam periods, he allocates his energy wisely, entrusting club activities to his teammates so he can focus on revision. In non-exam seasons, he consolidates his foundations by making full use of in-class time and after-school consultations. Every teacher at Sendelta is exceptionally patient, always ready to answer his questions and support his academic journey.

In his academic studies, Ms. Sharoon’s Biology classes and Ms. Lily’s Economics classes often transcend disciplinary boundaries, using engaging methods to help Gabriel grasp complex concepts. Ms. Rachel, his Physics teacher, noticed gaps in his understanding and offered him one-on-one guidance, reviewing each chapter patiently. Ms. Doris brought knowledge to life by connecting it with real‑world cases. Mr. Tom not only taught him to be punctual and responsible for deadlines but also inspired him with valuable lessons in integrity and interpersonal skills.

Supported by this inspiring learning environment, Gabriel achieved an outstanding predicted grade of four A*s, laying a solid foundation for his applications to top universities in the UK, Hong Kong, and the US.

In recent years, admission to universities in Hong Kong has grown increasingly competitive. The HKUST Business School, ranked among the best in Asia, has long been a dream destination for countless business-minded students. Faced with fierce competition, Gabriel spared no effort in preparing his application.

Looking back on his HKUST interview, he believes his greatest strength was his courage to express himself. During the online assessment, without being able to read the examiners’ facial expressions, he had to analyze issues using solid professional knowledge — a skill built entirely on daily accumulation.

“The question I received was to analyze the differences between two social media platforms. I have been passionate about business since childhood and had a clear career direction, so I kept observing and reflecting in my daily life.”

Furthermore, he cleverly combined his passion for music with business in his personal statement and extracurricular profile: interning at a music company, selling concert merchandise, running social media accounts, and more.

“In my personal statement, I deeply integrated my hobbies with my intended major, presenting a unique perspective where music and business intersect.”

Meanwhile, Tiffany, the school’s university counseling teacher, offered him tremendous support. She guided him through the entire application process, answered every question with great care, and helped him fully highlight his strengths so that he could avoid detours in his applications.

From long-term academic development and customized application strategies to targeted pre-application coaching, Sendelta’s Oxbridge & HK Top 3 Program provides consistent support for students aiming at world-leading universities, serving as Gabriel’s strongest backing on his path to higher education.

Beyond remarkable academic progress, Gabriel has also achieved a qualitative leap in personal abilities.

“I used to be casual and even somewhat lazy. It was my head teacher, Ms. Joyce, who encouraged and guided me step by step to grow.”

He admitted that when he struggled to balance study and club activities, Ms. Joyce taught him to prioritize tasks and manage his life wisely, further improving his time-management skills.

“I often joke with my classmates that she is like a mother to our whole class, quietly looking after us.”

In addition, Ms. Sharon from the choir always considered things from his perspective and encouraged him to persevere and dare to try. Ms. Sharon witnessed every step of his growth, offered him constant trust and support, and provided him with many opportunities to participate in and manage team affairs. Through these experiences, he kept learning, broke through his limits, and grew more confident and composed.

三兄弟同窗新哲，

爱与成长，生生不息

Three Brothers Studying Together at Sendelta: 

Love and Growth, Everlasting

如今Gabriel 怀揣收获与理想，即将从新哲毕业，奔赴远方的大学；两个弟弟也各自成长，升入高中部的九年级和十年级，接过哥哥的接力棒，继续在新哲的校园里书写青春。

Gabriel与家人

三个性格各异的少年，在这片校园里彼此陪伴，也相互塑造。Henry热爱足球，是校足球队主力，球场上挥汗如雨；Gabriel受他感染，也加入了足球队，在绿茵场上奔跑，并且在校园足球赛中和队友获得了**。Gabriel喜欢唱歌，时常和Michael在家即兴歌唱；加入减小七合唱团后，Michael也紧随其后，站在哥哥身旁，一起用歌声表达少年心事。今年 2 月初，兄弟二人一同代表新哲文院减小七合唱团赴港参赛。热爱，在兄弟之间悄然传递、彼此呼应；他们各自奔赴梦想，却也在对方的选择里，看到了更好的自己。

除了课外生活的同行，Gabriel 更在学业与未来规划上为弟弟们引路。他常常提醒他们：GPA是申请大学的前提，再丰富的活动也不能动摇学业的根本。每当弟弟们在选课或活动中遇到困惑，他总是耐心分析，给出建议。他用自己三年的探索，为弟弟们铺出一条更清晰的路。

他们各自逐梦，也相互照耀。在新哲，他们不止是同窗，更是彼此成长路上最坚定的陪伴。三兄弟同窗的这三年，是亲情的温暖延续，更是爱与成长的生动见证。从一个人的选择，到三个人的奔赴，这个故事仍在继续——正如新哲所相信的那样，爱与成长，生生不息。

Today, Gabriel, filled with gains and ideals, is about to graduate from Sendelta and head to university far away; his two younger brothers have also grown up separately, advancing to the 9th and 10th grades. They take over the baton from their elder brother and continue to write their youth on the campus of Sendelta.

Three teenagers with distinct personalities accompany and shape each other on this campus. Henry loves football and is a key player on the school football team, sweating freely on the field; inspired by him, Gabriel also joined the football team, running on the green pitch and winning the championship with his teammates in the campus football match. Gabriel loves singing and often improvises songs with Michael at home; after joining the Half Diminished 7th Choir, Michael followed closely, standing beside his brother and expressing their youthful thoughts through song. In early February this year, the two brothers represented Sendelta’s Half Diminished 7th Choir to compete in Hong Kong together. Passion is quietly passed on and echoed between the brothers; they each pursue their dreams, yet also see a better version of themselves in each other’s choices.

Beyond walking side by side in extracurricular life, Gabriel also guides his younger brothers in their studies and future planning. He often reminds them: GPA is the premise for university applications, and no matter how rich the extracurricular activities are, they must not shake the foundation of their studies. Whenever his younger brothers encounter confusion in course selection or activities, he always analyzes patiently and gives suggestions. With his three years of exploration, he has paved a clearer path for his younger brothers.

They each chase their dreams and shine for each other. At Sendelta, they are more than classmates—they are the most firm companions on each other’s growth journey. The three years that the three brothers have studied together at Sendelta are not only a warm continuation of family affection, but also a vivid testimony to love and growth. From one person’s choice to three people’s pursuit, this story continues—as Sendelta believes, love and growth are everlasting.

“回顾当初转学新哲的决定，我依然觉得，那是我做过最正确的选择。

在这里，我不必成为别人，而是可以成为自己想成为的人。只要你有想法，学校就会倾力提供资源与支持，让你去尝试、去探索、去实现。

更珍贵的是，这一路走来，我遇见了太多**的同龄人。他们的光芒，不是让我感到渺小，而是不断鞭策我成为更好的人——去找到真正的热爱，去打破自己的舒适圈。

如今，我即将毕业。但我知道，这不是结束，而是新的开始。我会带着新哲赋予我的勇气与自信，去继续挑战未知，继续成为更好的自己！”

——Gabriel
