燎原英文部高中的体育活动深受学生们喜爱，是其全人教育的一个重要内容。作为提供国际化教育的学校，英文部高中将体育课程和课外体育活动紧密结合在一起，旨在鼓励学生们强身健体，保持健康自律的生活方式，同时也塑造坚强的精神状态，促进学术教育的发展。
Sports are very popular among students here in Liaoyuan High School English Division, and has become an integral part of the school’s well-rounded education. The Division integrates PE classes with sports electives, aiming to promote physical and developmental benefits of sports for students and also positively impact academic performance.
历年来，英文部高中开设了体育课和丰富多彩的运动类选修课，启用中外教团队配合进行教学。在师生的共同努力下，成立了球类校队和学生运动俱乐部，运动项目覆盖了篮球、足球、羽毛球、乒乓球、排球、网球、舞蹈、瑜伽、英式橄榄球、曲棍球、剑道、国际象棋等。
For years, the Division has been offering a variety of sports in PE classes and electives as well. Foreign and Chinese PE teachers work together to teach students sports skills. With the joint efforts of teachers and students, sports teams and clubs start and flourish: basketball, soccer, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, tennis, dance, yoga, rugby, hockey, kendo, chess, to name just a few.
▲ 丰富多彩的燎原体育活动
燎原英文部高中在体育课程和体育活动建设中以常规项目为主，适当引入西方国家特色体育活动，主要目的是锻炼学生的身体素质，教授学生基本的运动技能，尝试国外流行的体育项目。对于运动天赋强的学生，学校组建校队，创造机会让他她们和外校同学打比赛。
The PE curriculum is set to enhance the regular sports skills and introduce some new sports which are widely played in western countries. Students are given opportunities to play different ball games and acquire basic skills. When the Division recognizes exceptional individuals, it will help these students reach their true potential by organizing professional teams, scheduling drills, providing opportunities for them to play games with other schools.
▲ 羽毛球队战绩赫赫
燎原篮球、足球和羽毛球的校队加入了上海国际学校的校际联盟赛，连年在主场和客场打比赛。联赛对手包括上师大附二外、西外外国语、东方外国语、复旦附中。
就在10月27日刚刚结束的与融育北美学校的三场比赛中，燎原的三支校队均胜出，赛果可贺。同学们切磋球技，分享经验，还交到了很多朋友。前燎原足球队队长Mike Lu说过，“在比赛中双方队员都十分的友好，不管是对方还是我方的犯规，队员们都前去搀扶，这也体现出了比赛的基本规则——友谊第一，比赛第二！”
Now, Liaoyuan’s basketball, soccer and badminton school teams are participating in the International School Sports League and playing with several schools in Shanghai.
In the recent game which took place on October 27, Liaoyuan students won all the matches. When playing with other schools, Liaoyuan students can exhibit their skills, show shared experience, and also make friends. Mike Lu, the former captain of Liaoyuan soccer team, wrote in an article, “We played in a very friendly way. Each time someone fouled and fell, people from both teams would run to the person and cheered for him. We cared more about friends than the results of the game.”
▲ 燎原足球精英们
体育运动的魅力更体现在团队精神，在团队里，同学们齐心协力向一个目标迈进。除此以外，在运动中大家互相配合，互相欣赏，包容。正如前燎原篮球队Jeff Lin所说的：“正是团队篮球，让我们真正的凝聚到了一起。”
The positive impact of the sports is team spirit. In the team, students set out to cooperate for one goal. Besides, they support each other, tolerate mistakes and cheer for every single nice shot. “It is the team basketball which bring us together.” emphasized Jeff Lin, the former player of Liaoyuan basketball team, in his account of one game.
▲ 篮球场上的青春朝气
那么学校大力发展体育活动会对学术教育产生哪些影响呢？并没有“玩儿得没有时间学习”，这种影响反而是积极的，燎原英文部高中的师生们对此有较为默契的认识。我们认为，多样化的体育活动满足了学生们释放能量，愉悦身心的要求，也磨练了意志力、专注力和抗压能力，这些正是学术学习所必需的品质。
So, what positive impact have sports had on academic education? Students too busy with sports to study? Not at all. The impact on education is positive. The Division’s teachers and students reach a consensus that various kinds of sports games serve the purpose of helping students unleash their energy in a positive way, building up a strong mind and a healthy body, and improve their ability to focus and persist. Obviously, these are exactly the same qualities students need in their academic development.
