2026年学生报名注册事宜

(English version available in the end)

各位老师、同学和家长：

大家好！我校自两个星期前起发出2026年学生报名、注册和交费通知后，到目前为止的统计显示全校已有将近三分之一的在校学生完成明年的注册和交费。所有在今年完成明年注册交费的不仅能享受早鸟优惠，更是在对学校明年的编班和教师安排方面提供了帮忙，在此向这些同学和家长表示感谢！

据我了解，还有不少家长已经替孩子转账支付了明年的学费但没有完成注册，导致学校无法把这些学生统计在册。在这里，需要特别跟大家说明的是根据教育部的要求，社区语言学校的学生必须每年注册一次。因此，所有再读的学生在支付明年学费时都需要重新注册的。我请已经替孩子付了学费的家长尽快补上注册，如在操作上遇到问题请在周末到校区办公室咨询。还没有注册、付费的，请尽可能在12月6日/7日本学年最后一个教学日前完成，有问题也请在周末到各个校区办公室咨询，以便学校接待人员解答您的问题、为您提供帮助。

此外，我校举办了各个年级精英中文班的第一场招生考试，有400多位学生参加。根据现场监考老师们的反映，参加精英班招生考试的学生在考场中大都数表现出认真和自信，给老师们留下了深刻的印象。根据统计分析，他们中的大多数为非我校注册学生，这些学生认可我们的精英中文教学，希望能在我校的精英中文班的学习中提高自己的中文水平。我知道精英班的录取通知书将很快发出，尽管可能有名额的限制，但我还想向所有前来参加考试的同学们表示祝贺，希望他们都能如愿。

我在这里跟大家报告一下：我校定于11月29日（星期六），在早教学前部举办早教学前教学观摩开放日活动，在12月7日（星期日）在Mt Waverly校区（高中部）举办全校开放日活动。届时，会由CPCA会员志愿者们组织中华文化活动并有礼品赠送。欢迎您和社会各界尤其是家长们带孩子来校园。

在2026年注册、付费工作开始后，有家长或通过班主任老师或直接跟我联系，提出他们关心的一些问题，主要是有关明年任教教师的安排、我校高中/VCE中文师资以及学校的发展等。我在这里一并跟大家作个回答：

1，按惯例，我校教师任教安排分为早教、学前，1-3年级、4-6年级、7-9年级、10年级（VCE预备班）或10-11年级、11年级或11-12年级。当然，也有些教师的安排比较特殊，比如任教1-6年级（大循环）、4-7年级等。这种安排是根据班级学生的具体特殊情况和班主任老师的教学和班级管理经验经协商决定的。由于有教师安排的惯例，因此那些明年升年级后要换教师的班级的家长们特别关心哪位老师来接班，在精英班（尤其是目前9、10、11年级明年升到10、11、12年级）的学生中谁来教我们的问题比较明显。我非常理解，我知道提出问题的学生和家长对现任教师非常满意，我也知道在现任教师几年来的带领下整个班级已经形成为一个学好中文的快乐团队，我很羡慕你们。我在过去的几个星期里到各个校区跟老师和家长们交谈，也跟各校区的校长和VCE部的主任商议了尽快做好学生升级后的教师安排和教师间的交接工作，相信绝大多数班级的教师安排会在全学年结束时完成，个别班级因需要征询教师的意见可能会稍迟些。

2，我校在历年VCE中文高考中成绩都在维多利亚州名列前茅。在目前任教的高中/VCE教师中，沈雪羚、高宁、夏洁、詹霞、李汉京、王慧明、杨莹、王一帆等教师为我校培养出数十位高考满分冠军和维州州长奖学生，还有刘文霞、刘幸嫦、赵逸晨、王珏、陈东风等教师跟上述几位教师一起为我校培养出数以百计的高考高分学生。这些亮丽的成绩都记录在历年的维州高考成绩榜上是毋庸置疑的。我校还有一批10年级（VCE预备班）的优秀教师，他们历年来为VCE11、12年级输送了大批优秀学生，为我校历年VCE中文高考取得佳绩做出了贡献。

3，我校是维州教育部审计合格运作的社区语言学校，维州高考局核准授予VCE高考中文教学资格（包括中文第一语言、第二语言、第二语言高级和中国语言文化和社会四个语种），维州教学质量监督局审核教学和行政管理方面通过。此外，我校还是维多利亚州社区语言学校联合会团体会员。学校教师还可自愿加入独立教师工会，有任何劳资事务都可在正规途径上处理。

总而言之，作为一所拥有3500多学生和150多教师的澳大利亚社区语言学校，我校在标准化、规范化、专业化等多方面仍需要提高，这是澳大利亚实行多元文化这个基本国策带来的新生事物，需要更多历练、不断完善。我们将不忘初心，严格遵守教育部的各项规定，在学校社区每一位成员（包括老师、学生和家长）共同努力下，继续为澳洲社区的学龄儿童和中小学学生提供优质中文教学，弘扬中华文化，为澳大利亚多元文化社会做出一份贡献。

最后，向各位致以敬意！

胡培康

Principal’s Message

Dear teachers, students and parents,

Since we issued the notice for 2026 student enrolment, registration and fee payment two weeks ago, nearly 30% of our current students have already completed their registration and made the payment for next year. All students who complete next year’s registration and payment within this year can not only enjoy the early-bird discount but also help the school with class planning and teacher arrangements for the coming year. We would like to express our gratitude to these students and parents!

I am aware that quite a number of parents have already made the payment for next year on behalf of their children but have not completed the online registration yet, which prevents the school from including these students in the official count. I would like to emphasize that, in accordance with the requirements of DET, students at community language schools must register every year. Therefore, all continuing students must re-register when paying next year’s tuition fees. I kindly ask parents who have already paid the fees to complete the online registration as soon as possible. If you encounter any issues while doing so, please visit our campus offices over the weekend for assistance. For those who have not yet registered and paid, please try to complete the process by 6/7 December, the last teaching day of this school year. If you have any questions, please also visit our offices onsite over the weekend so our staff can assist you and answer your questions.

In addition, our school held the first entrance exam for the Accelerated Chinese Classes across all year levels, with more than 400 students participating. According to the invigilating teachers, most students who took the exam demonstrated seriousness and confidence during the test, which impressed the teachers. Based on statistical analysis, the majority of these students are not currently enrolled at our school. Their participation shows that they recognize the quality of our Accelerated Chinese program and hope to improve their Chinese proficiency through studying in our Accelerated Chinese Classes. I understand that the admission notices for the Accelerated classes will be issued soon. Although there may be limited places available, I would still like to congratulate all the students who came to take the exam and wish that they will all achieve their goals.

I would like to let you know our school is scheduled to hold an open day event for early childhood teaching observation on MWNPS campus on Saturday 29 November, and a school-wide open day event at MWSC (senior campus) on Sunday 7 December when CPCA member volunteers will organize Chinese cultural activities and give away gifts. You and all walks of life, especially parents, are welcome to bring their children to campus.

After the start of 2026 registration and payment process, some parents contacted me either through the class teacher or directly, raising some issues they were concerned about, mainly about the teacher arrangements for 2026 and the development of the school. I would like to share the information with you here:

1. Generally, our teachers are arranged for Early Learning, Prep, Years 1-3, Years 4-6, Years 7-9, Years 10 or 10-11, Years 11 or 11-12. On special occasions, some teachers are arranged for teaching Years 1-6 or for Years 4-7. This arrangement is determined through consultation based on the specific circumstances of the students in the class and the class management experience of the teachers. Due to the tradition of teacher arrangement, parents of those classes that will change teachers next year are particularly concerned about which teacher will take over. The issue of who-will-teach-us is more concerned among students in accelerated classes (especially those currently in years 9, 10 and 11 who will be upgraded to years 10, 11 and 12 next year). I understand that the students and parents who raised the question are satisfied with the current teachers. I also know that under the leadership of the current teachers over the past few years, the entire class has become a happy team learning Chinese quite well, which I’m very glad. In the past few weeks, I have been visiting various campuses to talk to teachers and parents. I have also discussed with the campus coordinators and the VCE coordinator to make arrangements for teachers and handovers between teachers as soon as possible after student upgrades. I believe that teacher arrangements for most classes will be completed by the end of the school year. Some classes may be confirmed later after the consultation with teachers for further feedback which might take a bit more time.

2. Our students’ scores in the VCE Chinese exams each year have been among the best in Victoria. Among the current high school/VCE teachers, SHEN Xueling, GAO Ning, XIA Jie, ZHAN Xia, LI Hanjing, WANG Huiming, YANG Ying, WANG Yifan and other teachers have trained dozens of VCE full score students and Premier’s Award receivers for our school. Teachers such as LIU Wenxia, ​​LIU Xingchang, ZHAO Yichen, WANG Jue, and CHEN Dongfeng, together with the above-mentioned teachers, have trained hundreds of students with high scores in VCE Chinese exams. There is no doubt that these brilliant results are recorded in the VCE High Scorers list over the years. We also have a group of excellent Year 10 teachers who have prepared students well for their VCE 11 and 12 Chinese learning who in the end have made great achievement in their VCE Chinese final exams.

3. XJS is a DET accredited community language school, VCAA accredited VCE Single Study Provider (for four subjects including Chinese FL, Chinese SL, Chinese SLA and Chinese Language, Culture and Society) and has been approved by VRQA for VCE teaching and administration. In addition, XJS is also a member of CLV and teachers can voluntarily join the teachers’ union and follow formal procedures for industrial relations issues.

All in all, as an Australian community language school with more than 3,500 students and more than 150 teachers, XJS needs to improve in many aspects such as standardization and specialization. Community language school is a new thing brought about by Australia’s basic national policy of multiculturalism, and it needs more experience and continuous improvement.

We will not forget our original aspirations, strictly abide by the regulations of the DET, with the efforts from every community member including teachers, students and parents,  continue to provide high-quality Chinese teaching for school-age children, primary and secondary school students in the Australian community, promote Chinese culture and make a contribution to Australia’s multicultural society.

Let’s see you on campus this weekend.

Yours sincerely,

Kevin Hu, Principal
