三年来，无锡南外国王国际学校已经形成了良好的声誉。学校努力探索中西融合、以能力为导向的全人教育，积极探索扎根中国大地的国际教育，努力实践学生个性发展的素质教育，形成了无锡南外国王国际学校的“国际教育”品牌，展示了“未来学校”的探索样本。为无锡城市环境国际化、无锡教育国际化作出了探索性的、积极的贡献。
学校已走过创校期，我希望狄邦教育集团、无锡南外国王国际学校全体中外员工百尺竿头更进一步，继续探索“未来学校”的课程体系、育人模式，继续引领在中国大地上办国际教育的实践探索，成为“长三角”国际教育的最亮名片。
| 南外国王总校长董正璟先生致辞
作为总校长，我非常感谢执行校长 Dr Kennard 和中方校长沈校长在这三年办学中做出的努力，也感谢全校中外教师的辛苦付出，更感谢同学们的努力奋斗。
非常高兴地看到学校在SLT的领导下，课程资源越来越丰富，运行机制越来越良好，学习氛围越来越浓烈，社会口碑也越来越好，我相信，一个国际教育的高地已在无锡形成。

在今天这个特殊的日子，我们在这里隆重举行我校第一届十二年级毕业生毕业典礼，共同庆祝学校在这一年中所取得的成就。
我们为2021届毕业生感到自豪，大多数学生自2018年9月学校开始正式运行以来就一直在我校就读，也有一部分学生是后来加入的。在这三年中，我们见证了学生在学业、品格和社会责任感方面的蓬勃发展。
我们的毕业生在各方面都表现优异，并为追随他们脚步的学生群体树立了标杆。不管是在课堂上、舞台上还是在校外，他们一直是NKCS的榜样，他们坚持遵守学校的发展愿景，践行学校5个核心价值观：敬、仁、诚、合作、责任。作为一个群体，他们直率、果断、谨慎，用优异的升学成绩证明了三年的努力。
毕业是快乐的，也是伤感和不舍的，因为我们即将要与十二年级毕业生分离，希望你们与学校保持联系，作为学校第一届毕业生，你们也是NKCS校友会第一届校友，假以时日，我们的校友将遍布全球，组成一个强大的国际校友关系网，将来还会有更多的聚会、音乐会、慈善活动和体育赛事活动，汇聚越来越多的NKCS校友。
我们已经计划秋季在伦敦国王学院学校举行一次聚会，这将为明年在英国上大学的2021届毕业生提供与KCS校友会面的机会。随着时间的推移，这将成为一年一度的活动，进一步深化我们与国王学院学校的合作伙伴关系。
在此，我也代表2021届毕业生，感谢Mr. Stefan Sjodin和他带领的教师团队，正是有你们的专业精神和付出，才有了同学们的成功。高中三年，老师们努力了，辛苦了，希望同学们再接再厉，大学期间继续努力，做得更好。
最后，感谢狄邦教育集团、英国国王学院学校、南京外国语学校和无锡市政府对于我校一直以来的支持，学校的成功在很大程度上要归功于我们合作伙伴的支持，谢谢你们！
作为学校，我们也借此机会感谢2021届毕业生家长。三年前，你们将孩子送到NKCS，期待学校在多个领域培育孩子的成长和发展。希望现在的结果达到了你们的期望，并让你们不后悔当初的选择。作为2021届毕业生家长，我们也希望你们能在未来与学校保持联系，感谢你们对NKCS的不断支持。

此时此刻，站在隆重的毕业典礼现场，共同见证你们的毕业，我和你们一样，分外的激动。
今天是个感恩的日子。感谢你们，三年前选择了南外国王，成为了创校学生；感谢你们，三年的努力，积淀了南外国王的学术根基。
普希金曾说过，过去的一切都成为最美好的回忆，我相信，你们会记住母校的一切，老师们会记住29位创校学生的成长经历。
永远记住，这个世界上无限付出，从不索取的就是你们的爸爸妈妈。在你的成长中，他们的付出，比山高，比海深。你们一辈子都还不清。
三年中，在你们的成长中，还有一批陪伴、关顾、亦师亦友的中外老师们，他们不仅传授知识，更有价值观、责任感的引领，师恩如山，把掌声送给他们……
同学们，不能忘记，三年中，学校的保安、食堂的员工、校园的清洁工、宿舍阿姨们的，因为有了他们的努力和辛劳，才有了校园的安全，生活的舒适，把掌声送给他们……
在你们拿到毕业证书的时候，我想对你们说：
人生之路，要永远记住曾国藩说过的道理：
天下之才人，皆以一傲字致败
天下之庸人，皆以一惰字致败
永远相信：只有点点滴滴，雪泥鸿爪，奠定关键能力，才会有成
永远相信：聪明很重要，勤奋更重要
在你们即将离开母校时，我想对你们说：
你们这一代人，有了比我们更广博的知识、更开阔的视野、站在了更高的起点上……
我坚信：在你们之中，将来会有杰出的科学家，当然，也会有未来的医生、律师、会计、作家、老师……
我坚信：条条大路通罗马，但我一定要你们记住，所有的幸福都是奋斗出来的……
在你们即将离开祖国，去世界各地学习时，
我想对你们说：
在无数白色的皮肤和黑色的皮肤之中，我有着大地般黄色的皮肤；
在无数蓝色的眼睛和棕色的眼睛之中，我有着一双宝石般的黑色眼睛，
我骄傲，因为我是中国人！
我还想将一位学者的话送给你们：
无论中国怎样，请记得，你所站立的地方就是你的中国，
你怎么样，中国便怎么样，
你是什么，中国便是什么，
你有光明，中国便不会黑暗。
在你们尚未成家之前，作为一名长辈，我想对你们说：
将来，你们都将成家，成为父亲、母亲。
期盼你们把生活过成春天的模样。
人生之路，曲直交错，如浮萍飘摇，总有风风雨雨……
但每年的春天，我们总能看到，明媚的春光，绵润的春雨，盎然的春意，树吐绿、花芬芳、蝶飞舞、燕归来……
我期盼你们心中永远充满阳光、珍爱生命，感恩生活，面对人生的风风雨雨，永远微笑。永远保持昂扬的姿态，你，你们，必定会生活在春天里。
师生告别之际，我想对你们说：
我坚定地相信，每一个孩子都是一座金矿
我也相信，今天29棵学校的幼苗，必将长成29棵大树
永远记住：回家的地方——中国江苏无锡经开区清源路188号

自南外国王国际学校创立伊始，我们就是一个特殊的年级。我们目睹了这所学校在过去三年中的成长。它从一所新建立的学校，成长为了无锡的一个知名标志。在创校最开始的时候我们经历了许多困难，但我们从未放弃，与学校齐头并进，一起将它变得越来越好。2020年，新冠病毒突如其来的爆发也使得我们的高中生活发生了天翻地覆的变化。我们和老师们第一次接触了线上教学，也体验了一场充满未知与冒险的申请季。这次的经历是我们受用终身的。现在，我们终于可以骄傲地站在这里，为我们充满挑战与机遇的三年校园生活交上一份满意的答卷。

在人生的每一个关口都神勇无比！

#Guest Speeches
| Deputy Mayor's Opening Speech
NKCS Wuxi has received good reputation over the three years. NKCS seeks to merge the west and the east and promote the holistic education that is ability-oriented. It explores the international educated that is deeply rooted in China and practices the education that guides the personality development. It forms of the brand of NKCS in international education and offers a sample of future schools. It also contributes to the internationalization of Wuxi and the education of Wuxi.
School has experienced its founding period. I wish the Dipont Education Group and all of the staff in NKCS Wuxi keep going and step forward. Please continue to explore the curriculum and education system of “future school”, lead the practice and exploration of establishing international schools in China, develop a outstanding “name-card” of international education in the Yangtze River Delta.
| General Principal's Speech
As the General Principal, I would like to thank the Executive Principal, Dr Kennard, and the Chinese Principal, Mr Shen, for their hard work over the past three years. I would also like to thank the Chinese teachers, foreign teachers and students for their hard work. I am very glad to see that under the leadership of SLT, the school's curriculum is becoming richer and richer, the operating system is becoming better and better, the learning atmosphere is becoming stronger and stronger, and the social reputation is getting better and better. I believe that a prestigious international school has been formed in Wuxi.

Today is the occasion to celebrate a highly successful year at Nanwai King’s College School, and to acknowledge the accomplishments and achievements of the students in the foundation Grade 12 class.
We are understandably proud of the Class of 2021. Most have been at NKCS since the opening of the school in September 2018, others joined shortly after. What we, as a community, have witnessed over the past three years has been a blossoming of academic performance, character development and social responsibility.
As a class, they have shone on every front and set the standard for groups that will follow in their footsteps. In classrooms, on stage and out in the community, they have been role-models for all that we stand for at NKCS. They have upheld the vision of the school and its 5 core values of: respect, compassion, honesty, collaboration, and personal responsibility. As a group, they have been forthright, determined, yet circumspect. Indeed, the quality of their university offers was testament to their endeavours over the past three years.
Of course, it is a little sad having to say farewell to the foundation group of Grade 12s. You shall be missed in so many ways. However, I encourage each of you to remain in touch with the school. As foundation graduates, you are also the foundation group of NKCS alumni. In time, the Nanwai King’s diaspora will be spread across the globe, providing opportunities to network and socialise. In the future, there will be reunions, dinners, concerts, charitable functions and sporting events, attracting an ever-growing band of NKCS alumni wanting to stay connected with their alma mater.
Already, we are planning a gathering at King’s College School in London in the Fall. This will provide an opportunity for members of the Class of 2021, who will be at university in the United Kingdom next year, to meet fellow KCS alumni in a social setting. In time, this will become an annual event, strengthening the considerable ties we already enjoy with King’s College School.
As a school, we would also take this opportunity to thank the parents of the Class of 2021. Three years ago, you entrusted your children to NKCS, with the expectation that we would nurture their growth and development in multiple fields. I hope that we have delivered and that you have no regrets following the decision to come to this school. You are also graduating today as the Parents of 2021, and our hope is that you too will remain in touch with the school in the years ahead. Thank you for the contributions and commitment that you, as parents, have given NKCS.
On behalf of the Class of 2021, I also extend my thanks to Mr. Stefan Sjodin and the teachers for their professionalism and dedication in bringing the students to this point in their educational journey. The teachers have done their part over the past three years; it is now up to the students to step-up, and to make the most of the experiences that university will bring.
Finally, I would like to thank Dipont Education, King’s College School Wimbledon, Nanjing Foreign Language School, and the Wuxi Government for your on-going support. The success of the school, as reflected by the Class of 2021, owes much to the support of our partners. Thank you, one and all.

At this moment, standing at the splendid auditorium celebrating your graduation, witness your achievement, I am as excited as you are.
Today is a day of appreciation. We are so appreciated that, three years before, you chose to study at Nanwai King’s College School. Through three years’ effort, you have solidified the academic foundation of Nanwai King’s College School.
Just as the Russian poet, Pushkin, once said: “What you’ve experienced will eventually become the best memory.” I believe that everything of your Alma Mater will be well memorized. Also, our teachers will never forget the development of the 29 founding students of Nanwai King’s College School.
It should be always kept in mind that, in this world there are two people who always devote to you but never ask you to pay back. In your progress, they had devoted a lot, sacrificed a lot, and never ask you to pay back.
In this three years, there is also a group of caring people, lead you, guide you and with you, as teachers and as friends. They not only teach you knowledge but also foster your values and responsibility. Please also express your appreciation to them with applause.
Dear students, do not forget that in the three years’ time, there is another group of people who work very hard to provide a safe and comfortable campus life for us. They are the security team, canteen team, cleaning workers and boarding team. Let us also express our appreciation to them…
By the time you receive your graduation certification, I would like to tell you: On your life journey, please keep this quote in your mind which stated by Guofan Zeng: Those who with greatest talents fails because of arrogance, a man becomes mediocre due to his laziness. Always believe that: work hard day by day and improve your capability little by little, you will finally succeed. Always believe that: Smartness is important, however, diligence is even more important.
By the time you are leaving the school, I would like to tell you: As a younger generation, you have broader range of knowledge and vision, standing at a higher platform……
I firmly believe that: there is outstanding future scientist among you, also there will be future doctors, lawyers, accountant, writer, teacher. Etc.
I firmly believe that “All roads lead to Rome.” And I also believe that happiness is achieved through hard work.
You will leave your motherland and travel to another country for study. I would like to tell you that：Among numerous skin colors, ours is earth-like yellow; And among numerous eye colors, ours is quartz-like black, I am proud, because I come from China.
Also, I would like to share a quote from a scholar with you: No matter what China is like, please remember, wherever you go, you will represent China. How you act, leaves impressions to others as the behavior of a Chinese citizen. If you have light, China will not be dark.
Before you get married, as an elder, I want to say to you: In the future, you will all have a family, you will have your own child and become a father or a mother. I hope you will lead a spring-like life. The road of life, crisscross, such as duckweed, there are always ups and downs. But every spring, we can always see the beauty of the season, the soft spring rain, the green trees, the fragrant flowers, the flying butterflies, the returning swallows. I hope your heart will always be full of sunshine, cherishing life, be grateful for life, and put on a smile when you come across with ups and downs of life. Always keep high spirited attitude. Thus, you will surely lead a spring-like life.
Saying goodbye to you, I would like to say: I always firmly believe that：Every student is unique and precious. I also believe that our 29 young students who are just like the little trees will eventually grow into giant trees. Always remember this address, No. 188 Qingyuan road, Jingkai district, Wuxi, do come back and visit.
| NKCS Student Orchestra Performance
| Student Representatives’ Speech
We've been a special year group since the foundation of NKCS. As founding students, we witnessed this school grow with us in the past three years, from a newly-established school to a well-known symbol of Wuxi. There were difficulties at the beginning, but we didn't give up and cooperate with the school actively to make it better. The ourbreak of Covid-19 also made our experiences of high school a different one. It was new for both teachers and students to have online classes, and it was also full of nerve during our application season, since we were facing an unknown situation of the world last year. It brought us with a unique life-long lesson. Finally, after having all the challenges encountered and overcome, we are here now proud to say that we've provided satisfying results to our three-year efforts at NKCS.
