缤纷多样的教学活动与课外活动向来是福州西湖国际学校的标志之一。多位毕业生都曾于致辞或采访中提及FLIS活动对自己的帮助：萌发了新的兴趣、找到未来志业方向、性格变得阳光开朗、学术自信也随之增长……

The diverse array of academic and extracurricular activities has always been a hallmark of Fuzhou Lakeside International School. Numerous graduates have mentioned in speeches or interviews how FLIS activities have benefited them: sparking new interests, helping them discover future career paths, fostering a more positive and outgoing personality, and boosting academic confidence...

事实上，课外活动的确对学子的校园生活体验有着深远影响，而「竞赛」作为课外活动的一种，不仅给予学子将所学应用于日常、深化知识理解的舞台，往往还可以锻炼领导力、团队协作能力、时间管理能力等多重技能；校外竞赛更令学子走出校园、开拓眼界，与来自不同国家、不同学校的同龄人切磋竞技，碰撞出新的火花。

Indeed, extracurricular activities profoundly shape students' campus experiences. Competitions, as one such activity, not only provide a platform to apply knowledge in real-world contexts and deepen understanding but also hone multiple skills like leadership, teamwork, and time management. Off-campus competitions take students beyond the school grounds, broadening their perspectives as they engage with peers from diverse countries and schools, sparking new insights through friendly rivalry.
