Thanks to Principle Huang’s great speech!

Congratulations on 2015 graduates’excellent achievments!

Thanks to you all parents for your care for and help to our UF students in the past 2 years and 2 months! Thanks for your trust in our School!

It’s not easy for us to have achieved a second 100% of premium undergraduates admissions to Australian G-8 five-star universities. Behind this picture, there must be a lot of scenes and stories that all teachers and students and parents can recall from their memories.Today’s ceremony is just an interpretation of how absolutely worthwhile all our children and parents’hard work is! Sincere congratulations again to all of you!

All our 2015 graduates have guarded Jiangning UF’s honour and tradition with their great efforts.All our parents’dedicated care for the children have contributed to today’s achievements and delight and the same as to our glory and joy of UF at Jiangning Campus in 2014.My sincere congratulations and thanks to all our 2015 UF graduates’parents!

Here as a representative of our students and their parents,I hope to give thanks to the school leadership team at Jiangning Campus.Their strong support and high attention has laid a good foundation for the UF Course Program to get better and better. How fortunate our students have spent the time of last two years having successfully completed an important and grand transition from junior high school students to world’s top universities’undergraduates at such a famous school as Jiangning Campus with one hundred year’s cultural tradition! Many thanks again to Principle ZHANG, representative of School’s leadership team, and to School’s program management team as well.

Last but not the least,I would like to thank all of our foreign and Chinese teachers of the UF Program.It is your profession, responsibility and enthusiasm to every student that have made 100% of our 2015 graduates enrolled in Australian G-8 five-star universities for undergraduate studies. As a matter of fact, the most successful thing for our UF foreign and Chinese teachers is that many students studying abroad today still send messages via WeChat telling their about their confusion and entanglement in their life and studies overseas. Also at every Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival, our teachers will receive lots of cards from all over Australia, while on our teachers’desks are all kinds of red wine,chocolates and milk powder brought back by our UF graduates from Australia during every summer vacation. No matter where you are in the future,our UF teachers will be delighted, touched and applauded by every achievement you will make.

Thanks again to all of our foreign and Chinese teachers of the UF Program! How great you all are and well-done in 2014!I hope all of our foreign and Chinese teachers will be more self-determined, more wonderful and more glorious.

Australia is a warm place,and your future days must be more splendorous.Do not give up your dreams.Regardless of facing the problem of being alone in your overseas life,you should learn to be able to adjust your mood immediately after a nice meal. Only by learning to nourish yourself can you better cultivate and harvest.Do not down grade your enthusiasm for life. Before the completion of your undergraduate studies,either you should have an experience of driving along the Oceania roads with your friends;or you may stay at the small town for two days where Hemingway lingered around;or it’s worthy watching kangaroos dancing here and there in the moonlight through your motel’s window at a blue mountain valley;or it is worthy of your youth time just quietly sitting on the edge of Sydney Darling Harbour for some hours,looking at those changing colours of Sydney Opera House in the sunset. These types of life experience will let you have affections and intelligence and keep calm and pace under the pressure from university’s boring academic life and not lose your youth’s passion and longing for a better future. Another advice I would like to give you is that you should call your parents regularly because they miss you most at home. Before leaving home,you should do some small things to touch their hearts; and do not forget to give them a big hug ahead of boarding the airplane,to let them feel ease,comfortable and happy.

You are about to start a completely new life in less than 2 months.We strongly believe that there will be lots of opportunities in the future and you will be working harder to better yourself,and form the good habit of studying and thinking within yourself ;and to make your gratitude and responsibility in the deep bottom of your heart be the warmest and strongest support for you to go forward bravely.I do believe that in three or four years’time, you are sure to become the true,irreplaceable elite,who have love for your families,who are answerable to your friends,who are valuable to your organization,and who have responsibility to the society.Congratulations again on your graduation in 2015!How proud we are of your achievements!I wish you an relaxed,rich,comfortable,happy and brilliant life in Australia!Many thanks!
