本周起继续上课通知及帮助特殊学生事宜
(English version available in the end)
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！从本周末（5月2日、3日）起，我校恢复每个周末正常上课，第二学期继续上课，最后一个教学周是6月20日、21日。在第二学期中，高中、VCE中文11年级和12年级将会安排由根据高考局要求而进行一些SAC小考试，其它各年级将会由各年级统一安排的考试（原则上会安排在第8个教学周进行），对我们的教学效果有一个反馈。早教班和学前班不安排任何测验和考试。
在上个星期的周末，虽然因为公众假期学校不上课，但我们的老师几乎没有休息，我校好多年级的老师参加了年级组召集的教研活动，老师们集体备课并共同探讨教学方法、课堂管理方法等，旨在不断提高教学质量。
今天，我想在这里跟大家讲一个很现实的问题，现在AI已经对我们的语言学校和语言教学带来很大的影响和冲击，有些学生借助AI 可很好地完成作业练习，甚至能写出有一定水平的作文，他们对接受课堂教学形式兴趣已经明显递减。我们清楚地认识到，如果我们老师自身不学习，不跟上时代，那么我们将无法教好学生。我们的老师怀有在澳大利亚多元文化社会传承中华文化的责任感，有不甘落伍的决心，宁愿从头开始，从做学生开始来充实自己。在公众假期（澳纽军团日）下午，他们聆听了由澳大利亚华人专业人士俱乐部CPCA请来的澳大利亚顶尖AI 专家主讲的关于AI 的专业讲座，当天晚上又参加了由中国华文教育基金举办、北京龙之门教育集团承办的“如何运用AI技能教好中文”的网络培训课程。我相信，善于学习的我们的老师们将会使我们的课堂教学越来越跟进时代、贴近学生。
此外，我还要在这里跟大家报告一下：最近，我们的老师还参加了关于如何帮助患有多动症ADHD和自闭症ASD学生的培训课程。据相关医学研究部门的估算，在维多利亚州100多万中小学生中有将近5%的学生患有ADHD、有将近3%患有ASD。政府对此相当重视，给予中小学日校人力和财力上的特别支持，用于帮助需要特殊支持的学生。如果那些估算成立的话，那么，在我们这所有3500位学生的社区语言学校里，有一些患有ADHD和ASD 的学生也是正常的，他们能在周末放弃休息来学习中文是好事是应该受到表扬的。但是，基于我们缺乏政府给予的财力和人力资源的支持，我们无法向那些学生提供专业的支持，这是我们老师们感到有压力的地方。因此，一方面我们会继续跟那些学生的家长保持畅通的交流渠道，另一方面我们也想尽办法让老师们有机会参加一些培训，让他们在帮助学生时做得更好。同时，希望我们学校社区的所有成员，包括老师、同学和家长们一起来关注有特殊需求的学生，用我们的关心和爱心来帮助他们学好中文。让我们的校园成为大家共同的家园。
最后，祝大家在第二学期学习、工作顺利，周末校园见！

Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School
Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
Hello everyone! Starting from this weekend (2/3 May), our school will resume normal classes every weekend for the rest of Term 2. The last teaching week of Term 2 will be 20/21 June. In Term 2, high school, VCE Chinese Year 11 and 12 students will be scheduled to take some SAC exams based on the requirements of VCAA, and other year levels will have exams arranged uniformly by each year level (in principle, they will be arranged in Term 2 Week 8) to provide feedback on our teaching effectiveness. There will be no tests or examinations for early-learning and prep classes.
Last weekend, although the school was closed due to a public holiday, our teachers participated in teaching seminars for each year levels. The teachers collectively prepared lessons and jointly discussed teaching methods, classroom management methods, etc., with the aim of continuously improving the quality of our teaching.
Today, I want to talk to you about a very practical issue here. Now AI has had a great influence and impact on our language schools and language teaching. Some students can complete homework very well with the help of AI and can even present writing works of a certain level. Their interest in accepting classroom teaching has obviously declined. We clearly understand that if our teachers do not learn and keep up with the times, we will not be able to cope with the learning needs of the students. Our teachers have a sense of responsibility for inheriting Chinese culture in Australia’s multicultural society and are determined not to be left behind. They would rather start from scratch and enrich themselves as students. In the afternoon of the Anzac Day, they participated a professional lecture on AI given by top Australian AI experts invited by the Australian Chinese Professionals Club CPCA. In the evening, they also participated in an online training course on “How to Use AI Skills to Teach Chinese Well” organized by the Chinese Language and Culture Education Foundation of China and hosted by Beijing Longzhimen Education Group. I believe that our teachers as quick learners will make our classroom teaching up-to-date and adaptable to students’ needs.
In addition, recently, our teachers also participated in training courses on how to help students with ADHD and autism. According to estimates from relevant medical research departments, nearly 5% of the more than 1 million primary and secondary school students in Victoria suffer from ADHD and nearly 3% suffer from ASD. The government attaches great importance to this and provides financial and human resource support to primary and secondary mainstream schools. If those estimates hold true, then it is normal for us to have some students with ADHD and ASD in our 3,500-student community language school, and they should be commended for giving up their weekend breaks to study Chinese. However, due to our lack of financial and human resource support from the government, we are unable to provide professional support to those students. This is where our teachers feel stressed. Therefore, on the one hand, we will continue to maintain open communication channels with the parents of those students, and on the other hand, we will also try our best to give teachers the opportunity to participate in some training so that they can do a better job in helping students. At the same time, we hope that all members of our school community, including teachers, students and parents, will pay attention to students with special needs and use our care and love to help them learn Chinese well. Let our campus become a common home for everyone.
I wish everyone good luck in learning and working in Term 2. See you on campus at the weekend!
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu, Principal
