2022春季“中华文化园”活动通知
冬去春来、万物更新，在这充满美好季节，我们不由回望第二学期的中华文化大乐园活动，依然兴趣盎然。由此，很多家长希望他们的孩子在第三学期假期也可以参加中华文化主题活动。并表示，这不仅可以丰富孩子们的假期生活，让孩子们亲身体验中华文化的魅力，也能大大提高学习中文的兴趣和动力。
现在，我们很高兴地告诉大家，经过认真的组织筹备工作，2022春季“中华文化园”活动即将于第三学期假期内（9月19日至9月22日）举行。本次活动由澳大利亚常青藤文化书院（IVY Culture）主办，上海常青藤国际学校协办，新金山中文学校将组织学生积极参与此次活动(也欢迎其它中文学校的学生报名参加)。
澳大利亚常青藤文化书院曾成功地赞助了新金山第二学期假期举办的“中华文化大乐园”活动，本次作为主办方，将为广大师生带来丰富多彩的活动用具和材料，上海常青藤国际学校的资深老师将为我们带来中国古诗欣赏、教唱经典歌曲、学习中华武术等精彩课程，而文化园的志愿者老师则会为大家献上中国书画、艺术拼贴、珠心算等课程。由于中秋佳节在第三学期内，我们还专门设计了月饼制作的课程，不仅为学生讲解中秋节的来历和传说，还会手把手教他们制作月饼。另外，手工课上，学生们还将按照老师的指导独立完成宫灯制作，他们可以将自己的作品带回家，为中秋佳节增添一份别样的风采。本次中华文化园活动还专门聘请了专业的舞蹈老师开办中国传统舞蹈课，让学生们好好体验一把中国传统而优雅的舞蹈艺术。
为保证每位参加文化园的同学既能学会才艺，又可保留、收藏中华文化元素的道具，本次活动限额200位，采取先到先得报名的办法，额满为止。我们会在确认报名和付款后，向家长发出正式的文化园录取编班通知书。

2022 Spring Chinese Culture Camp Notice
With the coming of Spring, Term 3 school holiday is not far away. We believe many of you still have the fresh memory of our Term 2 holiday program Chinese Culture Camp and parents have approached us recently inviting more similar event in Term 3 holiday, claiming that their children have greatly benefited from the culture event during which they have enjoyed the experience of learning Chinese culture and tradition and their interest in Chinese language learning has increased.
With the careful organisation, we are pleased to inform you that the Chinese Culture Camp would be organised again during Term 3 holiday from 19 September to 22 September. The event is organised by IVY Culture, supported by Shanghai IVY School and XJS would organise students to participate in the event (students outside XJS are also welcome).
IVY Culture has played an important role in our Term 2 Chinese Culture Camp as a major sponsor and this time as the organiser the IVY would provide us abundant learning activities and materials. Senior teachers from Shanghai IVY School would make their contribution in lessons such as Chinese poems appreciation, singing classical Chinese songs and teaching Chinese martial arts. Volunteer teachers from XJS would guide our students in learning Chinese calligraphy, arts, abacus mental arithmetic and handcraft making. As the Mid-Autumn Festival falls in Term 3 break, students would have the opportunity to learn the history and tradition of the traditional celebration and learn how to make mooncakes with hands-on experience. Moreover, they would also learn how to make traditional Chinese lantern and their final work of arts would definitely bring some colour to your own celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival at home. A professional dancing teacher would also be invited to teach students how to perform Chinese traditional dancing and it would bring a lot of fun for kids.
To ensure all the participants could learn Chinese tradition and culture and bring home culture-rich work of arts, the event is limited to 200 places and is first come first served. With confirmation of your registration and payment, a separate enrolment notice would be sent out later.
Please read the following information regarding registration and payment.

Friday 23 September is a public holiday. IVY is planning to organize a special Chinese Culture Family Day inviting all the participating students and their parents to join when students could present their talents and parents could strengthen bonding with their kids (Please refer to a separate notice later).
P.S. During the Chinese Culture Camp, students could attend the Morning Care (8:30AM—9:30AM) and Afternoon Care (3:30PM—4:30PM) through a separate registration (please refer to point 6).
- Venue
Mt Waverley Secondary College (new building on the senior campus) would be our venue for the Chinese Culture Camp this time. This campus is the major campus of XJS and our students have had a wonderful time here and have fully enjoyed the modern facilities and beautiful environment on the campus.
Address: 100 Stephensons Rd, Mt Waverley, Vic 3149

The learning activities of the Chinese Culture Camp include calligraphy, Chinese painting, paper cutting, mandarin fan painting, Beijing opera face painting, Chinese knotting, paper pasting, games, abacus mental arithmetic, handcrafting, clay modelling, martial arts, reciting, dancing and poem appreciation (age-appropriate activities would be arranged for your children and the class timetable in details would be informed later).

The Chinese Culture Camp is a non-profit event. Due to rising prices, each participant pays $340 ($280 if paid before 5 September) including venue renting, learning materials, insurance and lunch for four days.
P.S. The event is non-refundable (for special situations, the paid amount can be transferred into vouchers of IVY for purchasing books). Your understanding is much appreciated.
