我们在此很高兴地宣布，常州威雅公学成为中国首家为学生提供约翰缪尔奖（John Muir Award）的学校。
约翰缪尔奖是以约翰·缪尔（John Muir）命名的，他出生于苏格兰，后以探索美国荒野闻名。他是早期环保运动的领袖之一，他的努力促成了美国许多国家公园的建立。
约翰缪尔奖旨在让年轻人了解自然环境。该奖项分为四个部分：发现一个野外之地；探索；保护它；分享经验。这个项目对我们的学生意义非凡，我们十分高兴学生可以获得如此宝贵的机会。常州威雅公学的户外教育项目此前就已经十分强大，包括爱丁堡公爵奖户外探险、英国和冰岛徒步旅行、泰国潜水项目、欧洲滑雪项目，在此基础上我们还增设了约翰缪尔奖。所有这些户外活动经历都将加强我们的学生在申请大学时的优势，并帮助我们的学生成功进入世界顶尖大学。
我们十分期待与您分享约翰缪尔奖项目在本学年的进展。
We are delighted to announce that we are the first school in China to be given permission to offer the John Muir Award to our pupils.
The John Muir Award is named after John Muir, who is famous for exploring the wilderness of the USA. He was one of the first people to call for the protection of the environment and his efforts led to the establishment of National Parks in America.
The John Muir Award is designed for young people to learn about the environment. It has four parts: Discover a wild place; Explore it; Conserve it and then Share the experience. We are excited about what this means for our pupils and the opportunities taking part in this award represent. Offering the John Muir Award builds on our already strong Outdoor Adventurous Activity programme. Currently we offer expeditions to the UK and Iceland, SCUBA diving in Thailand and Skiing in Europe.
We look forward to sharing updates on this exciting development over the course of the year.
