At VSP, our character education program is defined by the 5Cs and 5Rs: caring, confident, communicative, creative, cordial, respectful, reflective, risk-taking, responsible, and resilient. We teach these aspects explicitly in weekly character lessons, and weave them throughout our curriculum in virtually every subject area.
在浦东万科学校，我们的5C和5R原则很好地道出了品格教育的精髓：关爱、自信、交流、创造、真诚、尊重、自省、勇气、责任和坚韧。在每周的品格课程上，我们致力于让学生真正理解上述美好的品质，也将这些可贵的精神融入到同学们可以接触到的各门学科中。
Recognizing the importance of the 5Cs and 5Rs, the English Department engaged students in a schoolwide Speech Competition in which they developed oral presentations regarding the 5Cs and 5Rs. The students developed speeches, demonstrating their ability to be communicative, creative, reflective, and responsible. While developing and presenting their works, our students demonstrated resilience to learn and grow from their mistakes. Standing before their peers, VSPers took a risk and presented with confidence. In the role of audience member, each VSPer exhibited cordial, caring, and respectful behavior to encourage each speaker.
英语学科组充分认识到5C和5R的重要性，并基于此在全校范围内组织了围绕5C和5R的演讲比赛。学生们为比赛准备演讲稿，在比赛中展示了自己在交流、创造、自省和责任这些方面的进步。在发表演讲时，学生还从自己的错误中学习成长，进一步磨练了坚韧的品质。面向其他同学完成演讲是一项具有挑战性的任务，自信推动每一位学生成功走上舞台。而作为台下的听众，每一位同学也流露出了对演讲者的真诚、关爱和尊重。
