本周不上课暨郊游活动和比赛推荐

(English version available in the end)

各位老师、同学和家长：

大家好！根据教育部对社区语言学校教师业务培训的要求，我校定于本周六举办全校教师教研活动。因此，本周末（6月8日/9日）不上课，请家长不用送孩子到学校。在这里，谢谢大家的理解和配合！

今天，向大家推荐一个郊游活动和一个青少年摄影、短视频比赛，请有兴趣的同学参加：

1，欢迎参加2024年Ballarat巴拉瑞特龙舟节嘉年华

2024年巴拉瑞特龙舟节嘉年华由我校社区合作伙伴 — 澳洲华人专业人士俱乐部（CPCA）主办，澳洲巴拉瑞特澳中文化协会（CACSB）协办。此活动得到维多利亚州政府多元文化节庆活动计划的支持，对公众开放，旨在促进文化多样性和相互理解。

活动内容包括划龙舟体验、安塞腰鼓演出、文艺节目、太极表演，还有CPCA书法爱好者现场为观众免费书写对联、春联、大福字。你也可以提笔学习书写中国字。 此外，我们为前来观看的小朋友安排具有中国特色的宫扇绘画。他们可以挑选自己喜欢的图案，在宫扇上将图案临摹下来，并带回家去珍藏。届时还有招人喜爱的中国剪纸小龙展出并出售。

这是一个适合全家一起体验中华传统文化习俗的郊游活动。
