在这个充满挑战与机遇的时代，杭州威雅学校即将迎来一位具有卓识远见的领航者——Simon Probert博士。他将于新学年正式出任杭州威雅学校执行校长。

深耕教育行业十余年，从一线教学岗位开启职业生涯，先后在英国、韩国、中国等地执教多年，并在教学主管、学术副校长等岗位上积累了丰富的管理经验

加入杭州威雅前，担任上海某知名英式学校首席副校长

教育背景出众，拥有巴斯大学教育学博士学位，主要研究课程国际化

精通中文，深谙中国文化，致力于培养学生的跨文化思维与全球视野

深耕国际教育十余载

懂卓越 更懂如何造就卓越

Probert博士曾就读于英国精英男校阿宾顿中学（Abingdon School），因此对英式寄宿学校如何实现卓越有着切身体会。

大学毕业后，Probert博士便投身教育事业。他在英国一所中学开启职业生涯，离开英国又先后任职于韩国、北京、上海等地多所知名学校。十余年来，他凭借出色的教学能力逐步升任教学主管与学术副校长，在这两个岗位上又积累了丰富的学术统筹与管理经验。从细微教学工作到宏观管理职责，Probert博士深刻认识到只有卓越的学校才能造就成功的学生。

他坚信，每个学生都拥有独一无二的天分，而教育的真谛就在于激发潜能，引导他们不断突破自我。他特别强调，他将致力于在杭州威雅打造一个挑战与机遇并存的学习环境，不仅关注学生的学术成绩，更注重培养他们的综合素养，以此延展他们人生的宽度。

“卓越一方面体现在学术能力上，我们要确保学生能进入自己心仪的大学；与此同时，我们深知优秀不是分数的堆砌，更是全面能力的体现，无论是音乐、体育、戏剧或辩论，我们都会为学生提供机会，并鼓励他们积极参与。”

Dr Probert

在学术培养以外，Probert博士格外重视社区文化建设。他主张积极、透明的家校沟通，并坚信浓厚的学校归属感能有效促进学生成长。

“我非常期待倾听威雅家长们的心声，共同把学校打造成一个极具归属感的社区，我认为这是英式寄宿学校的灵魂，也是帮助学生成功的关键。”

育人先育己

用科研精神看教育

秉持终身学习理念，Probert博士选择攻读巴斯大学教育学博士学位。他的博士研究聚焦课程国际化，特别涉及国际课程与国际化学校在中国的发展。

读博经历为Probert博士的教育事业发展奠定了坚实基础，不仅丰富了教育理论，更为他在国际教育领域的实践提供了有力支持。他将把先进教育理念融入教学与管理，全力打造一个与时俱进的国际化教育体系，引导学生成为能与世界自如对话的人。

Probert博士特别提到，在阿宾顿学校求学使他接受了纯正的全人教育培养，因此培养了丰富的兴趣与特长。他擅长体育，骑行、跑步与足球是他拿手的三个项目；他还钟情爵士乐，会演奏钢琴与萨克斯风。

来到杭州威雅，他希望用自己对教育和生活的热爱感染每一个威雅学子，鼓励他们拥抱梦想，成为一个个「有趣的灵魂」。

更了解中国孩子

来自多元家庭的感悟

作为一名在英国长大、却在中国落地生根的教育家，Probert博士对多元文化有着深刻感悟。他深知，在全球化日益加深的今天，培养学生的双语能力与跨文化思维至关重要。

在家庭中，Probert博士坚持为孩子营造中英文化并存的成长环境。他希望孩子们认同自己的中国身份，鼓励他们在两门语言中均达到母语水平，并教会他们用不同的思维视角看待问题；来到杭州威雅，他希望复刻这种沉浸式的多元文化体验，进一步推动包容、开放的校园文化，引导学生尊重与理解不同文化的精髓。

Probert博士已在中国发展近20年，他精通中文，充分拥抱中国文化，这不仅让他在教学中更加游刃有余，更让他成为了连接东西方文化的使者。他将用自己的经历激励学生勇于探索，成为具有全球视野的复合型人才。

增益活动中，威雅学子百花齐放：橄榄球队征战国际赛场，音乐才俊助力年度戏剧，艺术人才在各类校园活动中大放异彩。

追求卓越已镌刻在杭州威雅的基因密码中。随着新学年Probert博士的到来，杭州威雅必将焕发崭新活力与希望。在他的引领下，杭州威雅将深化学术创新与全人发展，用卓越讲好「威雅故事」。

In this era filled with challenges and opportunities, WASHZ will soon welcome a visionary leader, Dr Simon Probert, who will officially take up the post of Executive Headmaster in the 25-26 academic year.

Dr Probert brings with him a wealth of experience in the education industry, spanning decades. Before joining WASHZ, Dr Probert served at renowned British boarding schools for nearly a decade, where he made significant contributions as the Head of Studies and Principal Deputy Head.

Dr Probert boasts an impressive academic background, holding an EdD. in Education from the University of Bath, during which time he focused his research on the internationalisation of curricula.

Experienced in International Education

Understand the Art of Cultivating Excellence

Dr Probert attended Abingdon School, a prestigious British boys' boarding school, where he gained firsthand understanding of how elite schools define and nurture excellence.

He embarked on his educational career at a local school in the UK. Then he has served at distinguished institutions in Korea, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, etc. Over the past decade, his exceptional teaching skills have propelled him to progressively assume the roles of Academic Director and Deputy Head. In these positions, he has cultivated extensive experience in academic coordination and management. Ranging from detailed teaching practices to macro-level administrative responsibilities, Dr Probert has developed a deep understanding that only excellent schools can cultivate successful pupils.

He firmly believes that every pupil can achieve excellence, and the true essence of education lies in unleashing their potential and guiding them to challenge themselves constantly. He commented on the importance of creating a learning environment filled with challenges and opportunities, paying attention to pupils' academic performance and their holistic development, thereby broadening the width of their lives:

“Academically, excellence ensures our students to go wherever they want to go in the world, but equally ensuring that they develop much broader interests whether that's music, sports, drama or debating.”

Dr Probert

Beyond academic development, Dr Probert places great importance on building a community. He believes that joint efforts at home and school are needed to build a campus with a genuine sense of belonging that enables pupils to grow healthily without unwanted distractions, commenting:

"I will be very interested to talk to parents about how we can continue to grow the sense of community as a school."

Dr Probert

Self-improvement before Educating Pupils

Treat Education with Research Spirit

Dr Probert is a steadfast practitioner of lifelong learning, an important driving force behind his pursuit of an EdD. His doctoral research examines the internationalisation of curricula, particularly the development of international curricula and schools in China.

Dr Probert's research has laid a solid foundation for his educational career, establishing a robust base for the practice of international education at the highest levels. He integrates advanced educational ideas into teaching and management, striving to create a forward-thinking international education framework that guides students to become individuals capable of communicating freely with the world.

Dr Probert also emphasises work-life balance. He excels in sports, with cycling, running, and football among his strengths. He also has a passion for jazz, playing the piano and saxophone.

At WASHZ, he hopes to inspire every pupil with his love for education and life, encouraging them to embrace their dreams and become "interesting souls."

A Greater Understanding of Chinese Children

Insights Gained from a Multicultural Family

Dr Probert is a professional educator who grew up in the UK but has since taken root in China, having lived here for nearly 20 years and is proficient in Chinese, closely embracing Chinese culture. These and his other multi-national teaching experiences have given him strong insights into multiculturalism.

Within his bicultural family, Dr Probert insists on creating a growth environment where Chinese and English cultures coexist. He hopes his children will identify with their Chinese identity and culture, encouraging them to reach native-level proficiency in both languages and to view issues from different perspectives. At WASHZ, he hopes to replicate this immersive multicultural experience, further promoting an inclusive and open campus culture that guides pupils to respect and understand different cultures.

Moreover, he is intimately aware that developing pupils' bilingual abilities and cross-cultural thinking is crucial in today's increasingly globalised world. This not only enhances his teaching ability but also enables him to be a bridge connecting Eastern and Western cultures. He will use his experiences to inspire pupils to explore the world bravely and become talented individuals with a global vision.

Dr Probert and Mr Mooney

Passing the Torch of Excellence

Since its founding, WASHZ has emerged as a trailblazing newcomer, charting multiple milestones in international education under the 5 years of leadership of Mr Tig Mooney.

Academically, our IGCSE and A-Level results have continued to improve, with 90% of graduates from the past two cohorts entering the world's top 50 universities. At the same time, the arrival of British scholars this academic year has further strengthened our international education atmosphere. When it comes to enrichment activities, Wycombe Abbey pupils are excelling in many fields, with the rugby team competing internationally, musical talents supporting the annual drama performances, and artistic talents showcasing their abilities across campus events. Achievement has been deeply ingrained in WASHZ's genes.

With Dr Probert's arrival in the new academic year, WASHZ will exhibit greater vitality and aspiration. Under his leadership, WASHZ will promote even greater academic growth and holistic development. We look forward to welcoming him!
