万双网讯  在万科双语学校，社团是兴趣相遇、同好相聚的共同体，是潜能迸发、素养提升的试验场，是个性舒展、梦想绽放的大舞台……在社团，孩子们因热爱而相聚，以兴趣点亮彼此，用协作成就彼此。9月23日下午，一年一度的社团招募会在学校操场盛大启幕。精心布置的社团摊位沿操场排开，五彩斑斓的海报、创意十足的互动体验、热情洋溢的社团成员，让整个校园化作一片欢乐的海洋。

At Vanke Bilingual School, clubs are communities where interests converge and kindred spirits gather. They are testing grounds where potential ignites and competencies grow. They are grand stages where individuality flourishes and dreams take flight... In clubs, children come together through passion, illuminate one another through shared interests, and achieve together through collaboration. On the afternoon of September 23, the annual Club Recruitment Fair grandly opened on the school playground. Carefully arranged club booths lined the field, and colorful posters, creative interactive experiences, and enthusiastic club members transformed the entire campus into a sea of joy.

招募会上，148个特色社团集体亮相，吸引全校学生踊跃参与。各社团的社长们化身“创意主理人”，使出浑身解数展现社团魅力。吉他社前，一位七年级同学怀抱吉他现场弹奏，指尖流转间，动听的旋律引得同学们里三层外三层驻足聆听；四年级舞狮社的“小狮子”们尤为抢眼，孩子们举着红黄两色的狮头，腾挪跳跃间一招一式有板有眼，尽显少年意气；还有英歌舞社——这个由九年级学长亲手创办的社团，如今已交到学弟学妹手中，他们以传承潮汕英歌为己任，让古老非遗在校园里焕发新的生机。

At the fair, 148 distinctive clubs made their collective debut, drawing eager participation from students across the school. Club presidents became “creative directors,” pulling out all the stops to showcase their clubs' appeal. In front of the Guitar Club, a seventh grader played live, his fingers dancing across the strings as melodies drew crowds three or four layers deep. The fourth-grade Lion Dance Club’s “little lions” were especially eye-catching — children hoisting red and yellow lion heads, leaping and twisting with every move executed with precision, embodying the spirit of youth. Then there was the Yingge Dance Club — founded by a ninth grader and now passed down to younger students, who carry on the Chaozhou Yingge tradition and bring this ancient intangible cultural heritage to life on campus.

不仅学生可以组建社团，今年的社团招募会上，多了一批老师发起的社团。老师们亲自下场，根据兴趣和专长组织社团，邀请同学们一起来玩：黄巧莉老师的粤语社，从日常用语练起，在粤语教学中传递岭南乡音；陈卓老师的音乐社，弹琴、唱歌、玩音乐，让每个孩子都能找到属于自己的声部；徐海文老师的摄影构图与图像语言社，带着学生端起相机，在光影之间捕捉校园里的故事；Tetiana与Victoria老师的Drama社，从台词到走位，带学生在西方戏剧的世界里释放表演热情。

Not only students can form clubs. This year’s fair also featured a new batch of teacher-initiated clubs. Teachers stepped in personally, organizing clubs based on their interests and expertise and inviting students to join the fun: Ms. Huang Qiaoli’s Cantonese Club, starting with everyday phrases and passing on the sounds of Lingnan through Cantonese instruction; Mr. Chen Zhuo’s Music Club, where playing, singing, and making music help every child find their own voice; Mr. Xu Haiwen’s Photography Composition and Visual Language Club, where students pick up cameras and capture stories on campus through light and shadow; and Ms. Tetiana and Ms. Victoria’s Drama Club, where students explore Western theater from lines to blocking and unleash their passion for performance.

参观的同学们或在摊位前驻足咨询，仔细翻看社团宣传册，与社长们热切交流；或亲自上阵体验社团特色项目——手握遥控器感受无人机的飞行魅力，跟着音乐社的成员哼唱一段轻快旋律。每位学生都带着好奇与期待穿梭在各个社团摊位前，经过一番认真咨询与体验互动，最终顺利找到契合自己兴趣的“心仪组织”，兴奋和喜悦溢于言表。

Visiting students stopped at booths to inquire, carefully flipped through club brochures, and chatted eagerly with club presidents. Others jumped right in to try signature activities — gripping a remote control to feel the thrill of flying a drone, or humming a lively tune along with Music Club members. Every student moved from booth to booth with curiosity and anticipation. After careful inquiries and hands-on experiences, they successfully found the “perfect fit” for their interests, their excitement and joy written all over their faces.

作为 VBS 校园文化的重要组成部分，学生社团始终坚持“自主发起、自愿参与、多元发展”的原则。社团由两名志同道合的学生牵头发起并负责招募，每个社团成员规模不少于6人，确保活动能高效开展、充分互动。从培养统筹能力的领导素养类社团（如辩论社），到探索科技奥秘的科学素养类社团（如无人机社、编程社）；从传承文化精髓的人文素养类社团（如象棋社），到绽放美学才华的艺术素养类社团（如音乐社、漫画社）；从深耕专项领域的专题探究类社团（如历史社、生物社），到提升生活技能的生活技能类社团（如轻食社、编织社），再到践行社会责任的服务实践类社团（如环保社），各类别社团全面覆盖学生成长需求，为不同兴趣特长的学子提供了个性化发展空间。

As an important part of VBS campus culture, student clubs have always adhered to the principles of “self-initiated, voluntarily joined, and diversified development.” Clubs are initiated and led by two like-minded students responsible for recruitment, with each club requiring at least six members to ensure efficient activities and meaningful interaction. From leadership-oriented clubs that cultivate organizational skills (such as the Debate Club), to science-oriented clubs that explore the mysteries of technology (such as the Drone Club and Coding Club); from humanities clubs that carry forward cultural heritage (such as the Chinese Chess Club), to arts clubs that showcase aesthetic talent (such as the Music Club and Comic Club); from specialized inquiry clubs that delve into specific fields (such as the History Club and Biology Club), to life-skills clubs that enhance practical abilities (such as the Light Meals Club and Knitting Club), and service-oriented clubs that practice social responsibility (such as the Environmental Club) — these diverse categories comprehensively cover students' developmental needs and provide personalized space for growth for students with different interests and strengths.

社团是什么？是招募会上此起彼伏的邀约声，是孩子们找到同好时眼底亮起的光，是未来共同成长的约定。万双学子将在社团活动中继续践行“自主管理、自主发展”的理念，在交流思想、切磋技艺的过程中互相启迪、共同进步，涵养乐观、自信、包容的品格，在兴趣探索与实践体验中积累成长能量，为未来闯荡世界储备激情与力量，真正实现“在热爱中成长，在实践中卓越”。

What is a club? It is the chorus of invitations at the recruitment fair, the spark in a child’s eyes upon finding kindred spirits, and a promise to grow together in the future. VBS students will continue to practice the philosophy of “self-management and self-development” through club activities. In exchanging ideas and honing skills, they will inspire and advance together, cultivating optimistic, confident, and inclusive character. Through interest exploration and hands-on experience, they will accumulate the energy for growth and reserve passion and strength for venturing into the world — truly achieving “growing through passion, excelling through practice.”
