09/20/2017．106學年度開學典禮 周守民校長致辭全文

各位親愛的寶貝：

 
　　歡迎各位來到文藻大家庭，螢幕上的三面旗子，除了中間的國旗，左邊是本校的校旗、右邊是吳甦樂修會的會旗。吳甦樂修會是創辦文藻的女修會，偶而你們會在校園裡看到一群身著素雅的老人家，她們就是文藻之寶~當年創校的一群犧牲奉獻帶領文藻走到今天風華的兼具智慧與愛心的長輩。同時我要介紹你們認識這兩個徽章：左邊是本校的校徽、右邊是吳甦樂修會的會徽。在右邊的徽章最下方有一個拉丁字：SERVIAM－我願意服務，這也是文藻教育精神的中心思想，培養同學成為有能力、有意願、以生命服務生命的有價值的人。來到文藻，你們必須認識4個人：第一位是英國的吳甦樂公主，在3-4世紀時，她帶領一群貞女遠渡重洋晉見教宗，她並教育指導這些貞女，最後不幸殉道；第二位是聖安琪，她在約500年前創立吳甦樂修會，她也時時護佑著文藻校園的師生；第三位要介紹的是目前吳甦樂修會羅馬聯合會的總會長，也是本校第一屆的校友-王彩俶修女；第四位是走進校園看到的銅像-羅文藻主教。1966年天主教聖吳甦樂女修會創辦本校，鑒於天主教首位華籍主教羅文藻一生敬天愛人，特以「文藻」為校名，以為師生典範。2017年本校學生數為9,585人，目前世界上各大洲都有吳甦樂的學校，未來你們到世界各地看到會徽就知道那是文藻的姊妹了。

　
　　本校校訓為「敬天愛人」，文藻的教育理念是「尊重個人尊嚴、接受個別差異、激發個人潛能及為生命服務」，是以聖安琪的教育精神以及天主教大學的時代使命為本，培育兼具優秀外語能力與全人發展3L特質人才，其中Life是熱愛生命、Language是樂於溝通，及Leadership是具有耶穌的服務領導精神。

　
　　同時校長也要感謝你選擇了文藻作為你們人生最璀璨生命階段的駐足點，我可以在這裡保證「你們不會後悔的」!! 讓校長向你們說明文藻這兩年來的優秀表現：

　　接者校長有一句話要和你們分享，那就是聖安琪慧語中提到的「Fati Vita Nova (度新生活)」，各位寶貝從今天開始就要進入一個自由、自主、自己負責的人生階段，校長希望你們學做自己的主人，擷取課堂內外文藻老師要分享給你們的人生與專業上的智慧，不幸的是校長在此要給你們一個「保證」，校長保證未來的四年或五年裡，你們肯定會遇到挫折、失敗、痛苦...，當你們流淚揪心的時候，請寶貝們記得校長在此用聖安琪的話給你們第二個保證：「要振作自己，採取行動，有信心，有希望，努力以赴，全心向祂呼喊；那麼，毫無懷疑的，你們要看到奇事。」聖安琪也說：「如果對這項特殊任務的要求，你們感到能力不足，或不知該怎樣恰當地去應付，不要氣餒。要懷著希望，堅信天主，因為祂必會在一切事上協助你們。只要你們全力以赴，毫無保留，祂必會賜給你們相稱的力量去完成它。」希望校長的這二個保證在未來的時光中，對你們有幫助。

　
　　校長像許多在校園幾十年的老師一樣，常常感受到「校園處處聖安琪」，聖安琪是校園的守護神，你們很快就會發現她在醞釀你的生命成為一個更好的你！最後校長要和你們分享一封最近學生會給我的信，信上感謝我和同學們有良好的溝通，但我要坦白其實校長並不是常常和你們意見相同，不過「我不贊成你說的話，但絕對維護你說這話的權利」，此外，文藻有最佳的行政團隊，我們會彼此提醒、互補，以提供給同學們最佳的服務與照顧，我期望所有的新同學很快的成為文藻人，擁有文藻的DNA，再次謝謝各位選擇文藻進入你們的生命，希望我們成為彼此生命中的貴人！今天的相遇注定我們一生永不抹滅的緣分，為此，感謝天主及老天爺！再次歡迎各位！

Year 106 opening ceremony Message from the President

Good morning, 

 
     I am Wenzao’s President and to me, you are all like my own children. Therefore, I always use the term of endearment “baby”, when I address the students. I want to start by thanking you for choosing Wenzao and guarantee you will not regret it! You are now all truly part of our Wenzao family. 

  
     As you can see on the screen, there are three flags. The flag on the left is the school’s flag. On the right is the flag of the Ursuline Order.  Wenzao was founded by the Ursuline Sisters of the Roman Union of the Order of St. Ursuline. You will occasionally see them around. These treasures of love and wisdom have dedicated their lives to the development of our school. 

    
     Then there are two badges. The one on the left is the school’s badge and on the right, is the Ursuline emblem. As you can see, there is the Latin word SERVIAM inscribed at the bottom, which means “I will serve”.

  
     Wenzao was founded in 1966 and was based on the educational philosophy of St. Angela Merici. The School believes and respects each individual and their unique values and potential. It provides a language and professional education with Chinese culture as its basis, while students get an in-depth understanding of diverse cultures. Wenzao emphasizes holistic education and is willing to help all students discover their potential by developing their own unique characteristics. Wenzao cultivates students’ spirit to care for and contribute to society, embrace a spirit of selflessness and develop global perspectives. They are encouraged to become leaders through servant leadership. In recent years, Wenzao has trained students to become “3L Wenzaorians”, with the educational goals of "Life, Language and Leadership."
 

     As you enter into Wenzao, there are four significant people that have been a great inspiration to me and I would like to share a little bit about them with you. The first was St. Ursula in the 4th or 5th century, who led a group of young virgins overseas to visit the Pope.  She provided the girls with education and guidance. She and her virgins were unfortunately martyred. The second was St. Angela Merici, who founded the Order of St. Ursula approximately 500 years ago. We believe that she continues to protect and guide our teachers and students, every moment of every day. Then there was the first Chinese Bishop Wenzao Lo, who the school is named after. There is a bronze statue of him that can be seen near the campus entrance. Then there is Mother Cecilia Wang. She was amongst the first class of Wenzao’s graduates. She is currently Prioress General of the Ursulines of the Roman Union. In 2017, there were 9,585 students attending Wenzao. You are now a part of the international Ursuline education system, which has schools located all over the world. So, if you see this emblem in other countries, they are also from one of our sister schools. 

 
     "REVERE THE DIVINE, LOVE THE HUMAN", is Wenzao’s motto and the backbone of its educational philosophy. This means to respect the dignity, individuality and potential of every individual. This is based on St. Angela’s educational philosophy and is guided by the Catholic Church’s mission. Wenzao works to develop both foreign language skills and a holistic education. Over the last two years Wenzao has earned a great deal of outstanding recognition, which includes:
 

◎ Cheers Magazine Best Universities and Colleges in Taiwan, in which Wenzao was ranked:   
 ★First in global perspective and foreign language proficiency among Taiwan’s technical and vocational colleges
 ★First in the ratio of double-majors to number of undergraduate among private technical and vocational colleges
 ★Largest number of students that go out on exchanges amongst private technical and vocational colleges in Southern Taiwan
 ★Second most popular schools for enterprises among private technical and vocational colleges and universities in Southern Taiwan

◎ Global Views Monthly Best Universities and Colleges in Taiwan ranked Wenzao as:
 ★First in foreign languages and communications
 ★First in international education among private technical and vocational colleges 
 ★Leading private technical university and college in southern Taiwan
 ★Second best technical (non-medical) university among private technical universities and colleges in southern Taiwan

◎ 1111 Job Bank Most Popular Universities in Taiwan for Enterprises found that Wenzao was:
 ★Ranked the most favorable university for employers out of all the technological and vocational colleges and universities in Southern Taiwan 
 ★First in foreign languages and communications among private technical and vocational colleges

     Now I am going to share with you one of St. Angela’s terms, "Fati Vita Nova”, which means “to live a new life”. From today onwards, you are now free, autonomous and personally responsible for your new life. You are now your own master, so be sure to make the most of your education and the wisdom of your teachers. No matter if you are a student in the four or five-year programs, you will certainly encounter setbacks, failures and even painful experiences. However, no matter how bad things seem to get, remember St. Angela encourages us to “Act, move, believe, strive, hope, cry out to him with all your heart, for without doubt you will see marvelous things”. She also encourages us, “Do not to be afraid of not knowing and not being able to do what is rightly required” and  “Have hope and firm faith in God, for he will help you in everything. Pray to him, humble yourselves under his great power, because, without doubt, he has given you this charge, so he will give you also the strength to be able to carry it out, provided you do not fail for your part”(Counsels Prologue, 1582). If you follow this, I can guarantee He will always take care of you and help you through difficulties.  I have always believed our patron saint, St. Angela, is watching over us at Wenzao. I hope that you too will find her and that she will also bring you peace and a better life. 

 
     Again, I want to welcome you to Wenzao and thank you for choosing our school. I always try to maintain good communication with the students, even if we sometimes differ in our opinions. But even if we are not in agreement, I still guarantee I will defend your right to freedom of speech. I also believe that Wenzao has a great administrative team. They make great efforts to provide the students with the best service and care. I hope that you will be able to adapt well to Wenzao’s culture and quickly get used to life on campus.  I know you will be glad you choose Wenzao. Today is the beginning of your new life. Always thank God and God will bless you!
