亲爱的海外校友们：

你们好！

在国内疫情焦灼的时刻，你们曾在异国他乡忧心亲朋、同胞、母校的学弟学妹；你们曾为祖国疫情奔走呼号，邮寄医疗物资；你们的家国情怀令人感动，母校以你们为傲！

中港英文学校作为中国华南地区最早的国际化双语学校，自1994年创校以来，26年间总共培育了数千名毕业生校友，其中包括来自世界各地的外籍学生和华侨生，他们当中有英、美、加、澳洲、欧洲、南美洲、和中国台湾、港澳地区。现在他们分布于世界各地，或求学、或工作。

如今，随着全球疫情形势变得严峻，母校和老师时刻心系每一位身在海外定居或求学的校友，愿你们及时关注疫情动态，沉着应对，确保自身健康平安。在此，母校送出一份温馨祝福和提示：

1

坚定信心，理性面对。

希望你们树立起战胜疫情的必胜信念，以科学的态度认识疫情，不信谣、不传谣、不懈怠、不恐慌。在纷繁复杂的信息中，用智慧与理性看待疫情，以更强的勇气和定力从容应对，展现中港学子的优良传统。

2

珍惜生命，科学防护。

希望你们增强疫情防控和自我保护意识，配合所在国家、地区和学校的抗疫指引，积极采取有效防护措施。尽量减少不必要外出，避免前往人员密集场所。一旦出现发热、咳嗽等不适症状，及时就医。

3

综合研判，保持联动。

希望你们时刻与家人和同时身在海外的校友们保持密切联系、互相帮助，关注时事动态。如有任何困难，请及时与中国驻当地使领馆联系，母校也会竭尽所能为大家提供帮助。希望你们综合研判信息决定是否回国，衡量长途旅行风险系数。如果计划回国，在回国过程中须做好个人防护，如实申报健康状况，并配合检疫部门做好卫生检疫工作，回国后按照相关部门的规定做好隔离与防疫。

4

静心思考，专注学业。

“博学、诚信、创新、奉献”是母校的校训，同时也是中港人的标志。古有名训，逆境是良师，如果我们暂时无力改变周遭，那就让大环境按下的“暂缓键”成为自己反省沉思的最佳机会，利用线上学习，将其变为增强自身学识能力的“快进键”！趁此静思时期，努力学习更好充实自己，成为传播友谊、文化交流互鉴的友好使者，为推动构建人类命运共同体发挥积极作用。

一场疫情让我们见证了全国人民同舟共济、众志成城，凝聚起来的强大力量，初步克服了疫情，见证了国与国、人与人之间的守望与相助，从而更加坚定了打赢这场战“疫”的信心和决心。我们深信疫情过后，正如我们习主席所言全球化是大势所趋，不可逆转，目前的封关和互相隔离只是短暂的，习主席所倡导的全人类命运共同体是永远正确的目标。你们的健康平安是母校最大的心愿，学校愿和大家同呼吸，共命运，一起度过这艰难的时期，无论你身在何处，请记住，祖国和母校永远是你们最坚强的后盾！

衷心希望各位校友们身体安康，学业和事业进步。

中港英文学校全体老师敬祝
