高级中学新学期校长第一次国旗下讲话稿
同学们，老师们，大家上午好。XX年就这样悄无声息地过去了，XX年也就这样悄无声息地来了。对于XX年，我们xx在高考中取得了辉煌的成绩，让我们找回了xx昔日的雄心；对于XX年，我们在新高一的招生中，取得了难得的好成绩，让我们找回了xx昔日的自信。对于XX年，我想利用这次国旗下的讲话，和大家聊聊，对于我们xx的学子，应该以什么样的形象来面对XX年，因为这一年是特殊的一年。同学们，今年是原xx一中高中部迁校重建二十周年，是xx市高级中学挂牌成立二十周年，你们准备以什么样的形象，来回报我们的学校，来回报我们的线校，来回报我们的大xx？你们为此又准备好了吗？同学们，xx的学子应该是斗志昂扬的，你们说是不是？姑且不论我们在高考中能够取得什么样的成绩，但至少在意志上我们就要能够战胜自己。高中三年对我们的挑战，远不只是知识的挑战，更是意志的挑战，没有坚持不懈的意志，没有不可战胜的意志，就不可能出成绩。因此，我亲爱的同学们，当我们跑操时手还放在口袋里，当我们晚自习时还在聊天，当我们上课时还在睡觉，这些似乎并不应该是xx学子的形象，xx不需要这样的学生，我们也不忍心看到我们的学生有这份模样。你们要有你们自己的精神，你们要有你们自己的意志，这可能和我们不一样，但你得有精神，你得有意志，否则大家就会瞧不起你。同学们，我们需要有个性的学生，但我们不需要颓废的学生。
9月1日开学第一周国旗下讲话稿：做学习的主人
老师们，同学们：大家好，今天我演讲的题目是“做学习的主人”!同学们，大夫的职责是救去世扶伤，老师的职责是教书育人，那学生的职责呢?对，勤劳学习!是啊，每一小我私家都有本身的职责。作为学生的你们也不破例，学的职责便是学习。学习便是学生的根木任务，自打你走进校园的那一刻起，你就负担起学习的任务。由于只有学习才气使你变的睿智，唯有知识才气使你日益壮大。你们是国家的将来和盼望。你们的自身本质直接决定着故国的运气，于是我们的先进梁齐超就颁发了“少年智，则国智，少年富，则国富，少年强，则国强”的“少年中国说”。以是学习对如今的你们来说，责无旁待!怎样学习呢?首先要主动学习，自主学习，做学习的主人!学习的主体是自己。只有当自己发自内心的渴望学习时，你才会积极主动的阅读，你才会认真刻苦的去钻研，你才会全身心地投入，在这种状态下，你浑身的细胞是兴奋的;你周身的血液是沸腾的;你的思维是敏捷的;你的记忆是惊人的，你的理解是深刻的;你的观点是新颖的;那么你的学习效果将是最优化的，你的收获将是最大的。所以要主动地学，自主地学，因为它是打开知识宝库的金钥匙，是穿越知识海洋到达成功彼岸的快艇;是实现远大理想的必由之路。
第六周国旗下讲话稿：诚信立人，感恩做人
敬爱的老师们，亲爱的同学们：大家早上好!今天我国旗下讲话的主题是：诚信立人，感恩做人。如果你要掌管好自己的人生，请务必握牢手中的两张卡：一张是诚信的信用卡，一张是感恩的储蓄卡。诚信是一种美德，也是一种品质。仔细回想：你是否抄袭同学的作业，默写时是否看过书本，考试时是否有过作弊。但是，你是否想过，抄来的知识永远不属于自己，正如海涅说的“生命不可能从谎言中开出灿烂的鲜花”。对人守信，对事负责，让我们做个大写的诚信的人。如果说诚信是一种人生态度，一种精神境界，那么感恩就是一种处事哲学。我们有同学以青春期叛逆为借口，顶撞父母，甚至对父母恶语相向。请大家扪心自问：难道就因为父母爱我们，无限包容我们的错误，我们就可以肆意挥霍甚至抹杀那份爱吗？
XX年秋季开学第一周国旗下讲话稿：《新学期 新气象》
XX年秋季开学第一周国旗下讲话稿：《新学期新气象》老师们、同学们：大家好！今天我国旗下演讲的题目是《新学期新气象》新学期，对于我们每个人来说都将开启新的希望，承载新的梦想。站在新的起点上，大家是否已整装待发，准备好踏上新的征程？无论是踌躇满志，心中向往一片天地；还是厚积薄发，立志成为一匹黑马，相信各位定是胸怀大志，心有不凡。而即将开启的旅程，将是证明我们自身的最好机会！高一的同学们，你们若是怀揣梦想，一中便会是你圆梦的舞台，但没有什么成功是一蹴而就的。俗话说，良好的开端等于成功的一半。立下目标，并将自己最大的热情投身其中。要惜时，专心，善思，脚踏实地，一步一个脚印，夯实基础，适当拔高。兵家云：“知己知彼，百战不殆。”相信你们一定能尽快融入到一中优秀的学习环境中并更加优秀！高二的同学们，我们已经褪去了高一时的青涩，更加理智，更加成熟。高二是最关键的一年，也是最容易被忽视的一年。要时刻提醒自己，离最终的华山论剑已不再遥远。
XX年春季学期第二周国旗下讲话稿：开学寄语
亲爱的龙娃们：自主设计的幸福作业、丰富多彩的寒假活动、大胆创新的自信展示，注定让我们龙小的开学非同一般。纵观整个常州学校的开学亮点，有送福袋聘岗位的，有化身猴王送祝福的，有cosplay谈理想的，有制作元宵猜灯谜的，还有个人才艺大比拼的……我们龙小的开学第一天期初课程不仅让每一个龙娃都参与其中、策划展示，更是告别了以往纸质作业有头无尾的状态，把寒假的幸福作业延伸到开学，进行长程地思考，有活动、有反馈，让我们每一个同学的寒假作业都有了形式多样的评价。在为期一天半的以“幸福作业233，龙娃风采猴赛雷”为主题的期初课程中，我们看到了你们角逐奖项的自信，看到了你们全能明星的风采，看到了小队海选的创意，让“上海国际救助儿童会”考察团的所有老师们都为我们竖起了大拇指！在这，我想借助六8班徐祝康同学创作的《致幸福作业展示中的你……》这首小诗，给所有努力的龙娃们点个赞：致在积极展示自己寒假作业的同学们，教室里有你们洪亮的声音，
