新金山中文学校十二年级毕业典礼
一至三年级学生写字比赛决赛
早教学前部开放日/Mt Waverley总校开放日
2025学年优秀学生评选
(English version available in the end)
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！在2025学年即将结束之前我校有一系列活动及安排，我在这里跟大家报告一下：
第一，上个星期六（11月22日）上午，我校在Mt Waverley总校的Mt Waverley 中学剧院举办了2025年十二年级毕业典礼。学校高中/VCE中文部主任黄硕主持，十二年级任教老师、学生和部分家长参加。会上，各个语种的学生代表发言分享他们对中文学习、对老师、对同伴同学和对新金山中文学校的感言，他们中有中国语言文化和社会的辛世安、第二语言组（SL）的孙潭雅、第二语言高级组（SLA）的彭丽颖和第一语言组（FL）的陆俊宏等同学。会上也邀请所有今年执教十二年级的老师、学校校委会主席孙浩良和我发言，分享教学经验和感言、勉励毕业学生将来继续学中文更上一层楼。会上，王一帆、高宁、沈雪羚、陈东风、曹珊珊、赵逸晨、罗慧燕、程芳、刘文霞、王慧明、袁娅维、杨莹、李汉京、夏洁和黄硕等十二年级老师接受了鲜花和掌声。学校分别向十二年级的学生们颁发了 “顺利完成维州教育证书中文课程” 的证书和 “顺利完成12年级中文课程（即，VCE中文课程）“的毕业证书。我向所有十二年级的学生表示祝贺，向他们的家长和任教老师们表示感谢。同时，预祝同学们在今年的VCE高考中文考试中取得理想的好成绩。
第二，在上个星期日（11月23日）上午，我校在Mt Waverley总校的Mt Waverley中学大礼堂举办了2025年全校一至三年级学生写字比赛决赛。来自全校一、二、三年级各班写字比赛的优胜学生近200位同学参加了这次决赛，他们报到时按年级领取参赛专用纸和笔，并在指定区域（分年级）就坐，在统一规定的时间内完成汉字书写。当天，有好几百位家长陪同孩子来参加比赛，给孩子们打气助威，增添了比赛热烈的气氛。我在这里要向家长们表示感谢，学校举办的任何活动能得到家长们的支持都是非常可贵的。写字比赛的专用纸上只有选手的编号，没有他们的姓名。为表示对参加写字比赛决赛的选手们的重视，体现评选的公平公正，学校邀请所有教师参与评选，每位老师可在每个年级组内选出10份中意的作品，最后归纳以得票数评出决赛的名次并向全校公布。
第三，我校早教学前部将在本周六向社会开放（时间：上午10点至下午4点），让3-5岁的宝宝来体验娃娃学中文的快乐。地点是Mt Waverley North Primary School美丽的校园（1 Marcus Ave, Mt Waverley Vic 3149离我们Mt Waverley总校2-3分钟车程），欢迎家长带孩子前往参观。当天，每位儿童都将获赠一份礼物（根据校园安全规定成人进入校园需用本人ID登记，敬请配合。您还需要注意校园周围的停车限制）。
此外，在12月7日（星期日）我们将在Mt Waverley总校区举办学校开放日活动（时间：上午10点至下午3点）。届时，CPCA的会员志愿者们将以“中华文化节”的形式向大家展示精彩的文艺演出，有书法、绘画、京剧体验，还有投壶、踢毽子、猜灯谜等游戏活动，主要活动内容安排在Mt Waverley中学高中部体育馆内。当天有美食供应和礼品赠送，欢迎家长带孩子来校园（您需要登记并请注意校园周围的停车限制）。
第四，按惯例，根据学校学生奖励条例规定，我校各年级各班级会在第四学期评出年度学习优秀学生和学习进步学生并报学校给予奖励。由于准备奖牌和奖状的需要，以往的评选结果都在第四学期期末考试之前完成，并在学期结束前公布名单并发奖。这样，就会导致每年会有一些在第四学期考试中取得优异成绩的学生没有被评到合适的奖项（有的甚至可能没有得到任何奖励）的情况出现，没有达到真正奖励先进的目的。此外，每年都会有不少学生在学年结束前因家长带他们去海外度假向学校提出请假，因而错失了评奖的机会。
根据征询老师和家长的意见，我们对今年的学生评奖活动做出调整：首先，评奖必须参考学生全年各个学期的考试成绩和平时作业完成情况；其次，评选的奖项名称为“年度最佳学生”（金牌）、“年度优秀学生”（银牌）以及“优秀之星”（单项奖状）；再次，我们将在明年开学后统一安排举办发奖仪式，激励大家在新学年以优秀学生为榜样，努力学好中文。
最后，跟大家报告一下：到今天为止已有近40%的学生完成了明年的注册交费，对我校明年的教师聘用和校舍租用提供了很大的帮助。在此谨向学生和家长们表示由衷的感谢！请还没有注册和交费的同学和家长注意，我校各校区办公室在12月6日/7日之后学校放假后将会关闭（无人接待），如果您有任何有关注册交费的问题，请尽可能在学校放假之前到校区办公室咨询，我们的工作人员一定会给您提供帮助的。
好，我们周末校园见！

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
Hello everyone! Before the end of the 2025 school year, we have a series of activities and arrangements I would like to share with you here:
Last Saturday on 22 November, we held the 2025 Year 12 Graduation Ceremony at the Theatre on the senior campus of MWSC. Huang Shuo, the Head of Senior School/VCE Coordinator, hosted the event and was attended by Year 12 teachers, students and parents. Student representatives shared their thoughts on Chinese learning and their appreciation to the teachers, classmates and XJS, including Shian Xin from the subject of Chinese Language, Culture and Society, Tanya Sun from the Chinese Second Language (SL), Liying Peng from the Chinese Second Language Advanced (SLA), and Junhong Lu from the Chinese First Language (FL). All the Year 12 teachers, Mr Haoliang Sun, the Chairman of the School Council, and I myself were invited to make speeches, sharing teaching experiences and testimonials and encouraging graduating students to continue learning Chinese and take it to the next level in the future. Year 12 teachers Yifan Wang, Ning Gao, Xueling Shen, Dongfeng Chen, Shanshan Cao, Yichen Zhao, Huiyan Luo, Fang Cheng, Wenxia Liu, Huiming Wang, Yawei Yuan, Ying Yang, Hanjing Li, Jie Xia and Shuo Huang accepted flowers and applause. All the Year 12 students received their graduation certificates for successfully completing their Year 12 and VCE Chinese courses at XJS. I would like to congratulate all the Year 12 students and express my gratitude to their parents and teachers. At the same time, I wish the students all the best in this year’s VCE Chinese final exams.
Last Sunday on 23 November, we held the 2025 finals of the school-wide Chinese character handwriting competition for students in Year 1-3 at the Auditorium on the senior campus of MWSC. About 200 students from Year 1-3 writing competition winning students participated in the finals. When they registered, they received special paper and pens according to their year levels and sat down in designated areas (by year levels) to complete Chinese character handwriting within the uniformly prescribed time. On that day, hundreds of parents accompanied their children to participate in the competition, cheering them on and adding to the lively atmosphere of the competition. I would like to express my gratitude to the parents here. Any activity organized by the school getting the support of parents is very valuable. The special paper for the handwriting competition only has the numbers of the contestants, but not their names. In order to show the importance to the contestants participating in the finals of the handwriting competition and to reflect the fairness and justice of the selection, we invite all teachers to participate in the selection. Each teacher can select 10 favourite works in each year group. Finally, the final ranking will be determined based on the number of votes and announced to the whole school.
The MWNPS campus specialized in early learning education will be open to the public this coming Saturday (29 November, 10 am-4 pm), allowing children aged 3-5 to experience the joy of learning Chinese. The campus locates at Mt Waverley North Primary School (1 Marcus Ave, Mt Waverley Vic 3149, a 2–3-minute drive from MWSC senior campus). Parents are welcome to bring their children to visit. On that day, each child will receive a gift (according to campus security regulations, adults need to register with their ID to enter the campus, please cooperate. You also need to pay attention to the parking restrictions around the campus).
As usual in Term 4, outstanding students and students who have made progress in 2025 would be selected in each class and receive medals and certificates as rewards. Due to the need to prepare medals and certificates, previous selection results were completed before the Term 4 exams and the names and awards were announced before the end of the school year. This will lead to the situation that every year some students who achieve excellent results in the Term 4 exams will not be given appropriate awards (some may not even receive any awards), and the purpose of truly rewarding advanced students will not be achieved. In addition, every year, many students miss the opportunity to be evaluated because their parents ask for leave from school before the end of the school year to take them overseas for holidays.
Based on the opinions of teachers and parents, we have made adjustments to this year’s student awards procedures: First, the awards must refer to students’ test scores and homework completion in each term throughout the year; Secondly, the names of the awards selected are “Best Student of the Year” (gold medal), “Outstanding Student of the Year” (silver medal) and “Excellence Award” (single award); Lastly, we will arrange a whole-school award ceremony after the start of Term 1 2026 to encourage everyone to follow the example of outstanding students in the new school year and work hard to learn Chinese well.
Finally, I would like to let you know: as of today, nearly 40% of students have completed registration and payment for next year, which will provide a great help to our school’s teacher recruitment and campus rental in 2026. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the students and parents!
Students and parents who have not yet registered and paid please note that our campus offices will be closed after the school holidays on December 6th/7th (no staff will be there). If you have any questions about registration and payment, please go to the campus office for consultation before the school holidays if possible. Our staff would be very happy to assist you.
Let’s see you on campus on weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu, Principal
