亲爱的家长：
非常荣幸浦东校区首次组织学生参加中国AS Level计算机科学比赛，学生Owen代表我校参加此次比赛并获得了中国赛区最佳成绩。这是一次巨大成功，所有获奖学生都非常荣幸地受邀请参加了颁奖典礼，参加这一颁奖典礼的嘉宾还包括各校的校长及获奖选手家长。这对于青少年来说是一次非常了不起的挑战，–你做到嘛？Owen， 我们为你感到骄傲，非常棒！
我们还有非常精彩的万圣节活动—相关报道请见下周家长信！
2017 Dulwich HakD 赛事,恭喜Owen 和Robin Zhong在Dulwich举行的电脑科学编程比赛获得第一名！
在10月20日—10月22日，Dulwich学校首次举行了电脑科学编程比赛，比赛称之为“Hackathon”，参赛选手来自全国各地。我们两位编程高手，Owen Hu (A2) 和 Robin Zhong (IG1)也代表我校参加了此次比赛，他们通过参加各种工作坊，编程技能越来娴熟，以至于慢慢地成为高手并可以自己独立设计并完成编程项目。Mr Bongo老师周六前往赛场观赛，见证我们选手的参赛过程；Mr Erwin周日也亲临现场支持他们，两位老师都一致认为Owen Hu (A2) 和 Robin Zhong (IG1)非常棒。以下是Robin写的参赛报道。
我和Owen Hu (A2)参加了在Dulwich国际学校举行的HakD比赛。我们与来自全世界的学生在此共合作，形成我们自己的研发小组，在3天内把我们的设计理念转变成真正的产品。此次比赛跟以往的传统比赛不同，它没有设定正式的项目要求，仅仅是给到选手们一个本次赛事的主旨“让生活更轻松”。因为没有什么限制，这样我们便非常自由，在最后作品呈现时，“让生活变得更容易”的作品各种各样，包括机器人设计，raspberry pi，前端/后端编译。我们的产品，GlassDrive（见下图）是融合其他作品之精华。
我们团队的成员个个都是编程高手，但在语言编程上不是很有经验。在团队鼎力配合之下，运用了我们的特殊技能，集其他作品之精华而成功制作出属于我们的作品。
The product’s formal name was “GlassDrive”, because it’s meant to be a Universal Storage Device that’s small enough to be stuck to a pair of glasses. Although we failed to make this device wearable (due to equipment issues); apart from that, we achieved almost all the concepts. This raspberry pi-based “database” would create its own Wi-Fi network while functioning, and any other device that connected to this network would be able to upload and download files to and from the GlassDrive. Multiple devices are supported on the network. Very impressively, we showed everyone how we successfully transferred a file from a computer to another one through the GlassDrive thus proving to all the audiences the practicability and efficiency of the product. We won! We gained first place.
我们作品名叫“GlassDrive”，它体积很小，可以直接粘贴在眼镜上，但可通用储存设备。尽管我们不能让这个设备可以佩带（由于设备问题），除此之外，几乎实现所有的设计理念。这个raspberry pi数据在工作时，可以自带Wi-Fi网络，任何设备连接此网络都可以从”GlassDrive”上传和下载文档。非常棒，我们向所有人展示了如果成功把一个文档从电脑上转到GlassDrive，给在场所有观众展示了产品的可操作性及高效性。我们成功了，我们获得了比赛第一名。
In conclusion, this is an event I won’t forget in my life. The experience of team work and all the skills gained will benefit all of us forever. Although gaining the first place provided the event with a glorious end, we all know that the treasures we’ve gained have the most importance.
总之， 这是我生命中难以忘怀的体验。团多合作经验和所获得的经验将让我们终生受益。尽管获得第一名获此殊荣，但更重要的是从这次体验中的收获。
There will be another event like this in the next year; any experienced and confident programmer who is interested should definitely participate in this event.
明年我们还将有一次这样的活动；欢迎任何有经验的，自信的，有兴趣的编程高手参加本次活动。

ASMA
The first round of this long running competition was held on October 12th 2017. This prestigious competition proved challenging and some surprising students held top spot. This should give heart to those students who may have been thinking of taking part but were perhaps intimidated by the ‘supposed Kings and Queens of Mathematics’ in our school. It really is open for all.
第一场ASMA 数学竞赛在2017年10月12日完成。这是非常权威且具有挑战性的比赛，非常惊喜，很多学生成绩位居榜首。比赛应该对所有一直想参加但又被我们学校的数学学霸们所吓到的学生。这真的是对所有学生开放的一次比赛。
New students are welcome to join, so if you missed the 1st contest please speak to Dr Gilkes or Ms Wang and we will add you to the growing list of successful entrants. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint as we still have five more contests to go.
也欢迎新生的参与，如果你有兴趣，你错过了第一轮的比赛，
