关于补发2021年优秀学生金银牌的通知及华文水平测试成绩报告

各位老师、同学和家长：

大家好 ！今天要在这里给大家报告两件事：

第一件事：关于补发2021年优秀学生金银牌的通知。

2021年因全球新冠疫情严峻政府实施封城举措，所有学校统一在线上课。当年我校师生和家长们克服种种困难坚持在网上学习中文和中华文化，学生出勤率高达97%以上。2021年我校VCE12年级毕业班的学生在当年的高考中再次取得优异成绩，我校继续在维多利亚州名列前茅。其中，2位学生在VCE中文高考获得满分，3位中文成绩优异的学生获 “州长奖” ，36位学生考出40分以上的高分。此外，IB中文7位学生全部满分。

根据《学生奖励条例》全校各班级评选出2021年度的最佳学生、优秀学生和学习进步学生。其中，393位品学兼优的学生为年度最佳学生，725位成绩优异的学生为优秀学生。按惯例，学校将向被评为年度最佳的学生颁发金牌，向优秀学生颁发银牌，向学习进步学生颁发奖状。鉴于2021年疫情期间工厂停工无法生产奖牌以及网课教学的特殊情况，当年学校向所有最佳学生、优秀学生和学习进步学生统一颁发了奖状。

2022年我们返回了校园恢复了正常上课之后，学校给2022年度的最佳学生和优秀学生颁发金牌和银牌。奖牌发出后受到了师生和家长们的欢迎。为此，有学生、家长和老师向学校提出，能否给在2021年里被评为 “最佳学生” 和 “优秀学生” 称号的学生补发金牌、银牌，以便他们可永久收藏。学校充分肯定那些获奖的学生在疫情期间不仅坚持学习中文而且还取得了进步及好成绩，决定满足所有2023年仍在我校注册学习、在2021年获得 “最佳学生” 和 “优秀学生” 荣誉称号的学生们的要求，给他们补发2021年度最佳学生金牌和优秀学生银牌。

2021学年最佳学生和优秀学生的名单请点击这里。请所有看到本通知知道自己榜上有名的学生可到各校区的办公室领取奖牌。学校已将定制的金银牌发到各个校区，建议中、低年级获奖学生的奖牌可由班主任老师代领后在班级里颁发。希望所有获奖同学珍惜奖牌的荣誉，学好中文和中华文化。

第二件事：关于华文水平测试成绩的报告

我校所有3-9年级学生在2022年第三学期统一参加了由中国暨南大学华文学院主持的“海外华裔青少年华文水平测试（简称”华测“）”。我校共有2415位学生参加了华测一级至四级阅读的考试，其中考一级学生数1387人，占全部考生人数的57.43%；考二级学生数595人，占全部考生人数的24.64%；考三级学生数392人，占全部考生人数的16.23%；考四级学生数41人，占全部考生人数的1.7%。

华测考生结束后，我校根据华文学院的要求，将所有考生的答题卡发往华文学院。由于我校是第一次组织举办华测，我们校区和班级数多、考生人数也多，因此华文学院花了很大精力才完成对我校2400多位学生的华测考试判卷，出具成绩单，并对整个我校学生的华测考试成绩作出分析报告。

我在这里向大家简要报告一下我校考生的华测考生成绩与全球学生的华测考试成绩的对比情况：

我校参加华测一级阅读考试学生数1387位，其中获评一级当级人数993人，当级获评率71.59%，全球一级阅读当级获评率51.67%，我校考生成绩高出全球当级评率11.92%；

我校参加华测二级阅读考试学生数595位，其中获评二级当级人数183人，当级获评率30.76%，全球二级阅读当级获评率28.13%，我校考生成绩高出全球当级获评率2.63%；

我校参加华测三级阅读考试学生数392位，其中获评三级当级人数167人，当级获评率42.60%，全球三级阅读当级获评率21.37%，我校考生成绩高出全球当级获评率21.23%；

我校参加华测四级阅读考试学生数41位，其中获评四级当级人数25人，当级获评率60.98%，全球四级阅读当级获评率16.46%，我校考生成绩高出全球当级获评率44.52%。

从上述成绩报告来看，我校3-9年级绝大部分学生的中文阅读水平，超出全球同龄华裔青少年的平均阅读水平。这对我们师生和家长们是个极大的鼓励，希望大家再接再厉，教好中文、学好中文，保持住我们的文化之根。

最后，还是要提醒家长们注意交通安全，尤其是在无限制的地方泊车避免受罚。我曾在早上在Mt Waverley 中学和其它几所学校的校区周围观察，发现交通高峰期堵车现象都很严重。但家长们表现出极大的耐心、忍耐和谦让精神，几乎没有发现按喇叭争吵的事，当然也就没有被拍照受罚的事。为了您和孩子的安全，不抢一秒。

秋天到来，天气凉爽了。请大家注意身体健康，多保重！周末校园见！

Principal’s Message

Dear teachers, students and parents,

I would like to talk about two important issues today.

First one is about the 2021 gold and silver medal receivers.

As you have known, due to covid-19 and lock-down in Victoria, we conducted remote learning in 2021 and all our teachers, students and parents took great efforts learning Chinese language and culture online with attendance record as high as 97%. In 2021, our year 12 students made great achievement in VCE final exams: 2 students got full-score in VCE Chinese, 3 students were granted VCE Premier’s Awards, 36 student got 40+ and all the 7 IB students got full-score in IB Chinese.

By the end of 2021, 393 students have been awarded Student of the Year for the excellent achievement in learning and 725 students have been awarded Outstanding Students who were expected to be given gold and silver medals separately as the tradition of the school. However, due to closing-down of the factory in 2021 caused by covid-19, they were given certificates instead to appreciate their achievements in Chinese language learning.

In 2022, when we resumed onsite learning we re-issued the gold and silver medal awards to students with great achievements in learning in 2022 which was largely applauded by students and parents. The proposal was then raised suggesting to re-issue 2021 gold and silver medals. To acknowledge the efforts students have made during covid while making great achievements in learning, we decide to re-issue gold and silver medals to Student of the Year and Outstanding Student receivers in 2021 who are still enrolled in 2023.

Please click here for the Student of the Year and Outstanding Student receiver list in 2021 and collect your medals in the Chinese office onsite if you are on the list. 2021 medals would be delivered to the relevant campuses and it is preferable if primary level class teachers could collect the medals for the students in their classes. I hope all the medal receivers could cherish the honour and keep on working hard in Chinese language and culture learning.

Second issue is about the test report of Hua Ce Test in 2021.

Year 3-9 students participated the Hua Ce Test, a new method of evaluating the Chinese language proficiency of students outside China in Chinese reading and understanding, organized by the College of Chinese Language and Culture, Jinan University in China. 2415 students participated the Level 1-Level 4 tests, including 1387 students in Level 1 (57.43% of all the participants), 595 students in Level 2 (24.64%), 392 students in Level 3 (16.23%) and 41 students in Level 4 (1.7%).

All the completed test papers were sent to China as requested by the organizer when the test was over. As this is the first time we organize Hua Ce Test at XJS, it has taken the College of Chinese Language and Culture great efforts to mark over 2400 answer sheets of our school, prepare test result statements for each participant and present test analysis report for the school.

I would like to report to you our students’ performance in Hua Ce compared with those in other countries.

Among 1387 students who have entered Level 1 test, 993 students have been given Hua Ce Level 1 certificates, about 71.59% students having passed the level test compared to the passing rate of 51.67% world widely, 11.92% higher than world-wide passing rate.

Among 595 students who have entered Level 2 test, 183 students have been given Hua Ce Level 2 certificates, about 30.76% students having passed the level test compared to the passing rate of 28.13% world widely, 2.63% higher than world-wide passing rate.

Among 392 students who have entered Level 3 test, 167 students have been given Hua Ce Level 3 certificates, about 40.60% students having passed the level test compared to the passing rate of 21.37% world widely, 21.23% higher than world-wide passing rate.

Among 41 students who have entered Level 4 test, 25 students have been given Hua Ce Level 4 certificates, about 60.98% students having passed the level test compared to the passing rate of 16.46% world widely, 44.52% higher than world-wide passing rate.

We have noticed from the test report that the reading levels of our year 3-9 students have out-performed those world-widely which is a great encouragement for our students and parents. I hope you could keep on learning Chinese language and culture and maintain our roots of Chinese culture.

In the end, I would remind parents again about the parking rules around the campus to avoid unnecessary parking fines. I have been investigating the areas around MWSC and some other schools and noticed that traffic jam is quite serious during peak times. However, I have noticed that parents have presented great patience and respect to other drivers and there is nearly no sign of honking or being taken photos for illegal parking.

Autumn is coming and it’s getting colder recently. Please keep warm and well and let’s see you on campus this weekend.

Yours sincerely,

Kevin Hu, Principal
