新金山中文学校校长信箱 06/08/2021
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！我首先要感谢学校社区内每位老师、同学和家长的协助配合。上个周末，在维州疫情封城限制解除后我们返校上课，大家自觉遵守健康安全注意事项，全校教学秩序井然。但是由于疫情的新变化，维州州长周四刚刚宣布，从周四（8月5日）晚8点开始，维州进入为期七天的封锁，因此本周末我们不得不再次回到网课（除早教班暂不上课外，其他年级全部网课），请大家务必遵守网课注意事项，保障网课的安全和顺利。相关要求请阅我校官网，链接为：https://xjs.vic.edu.au/online-learning-notice/。

Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School
Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
I first would like to thank all the teachers, students and parents for their great support to our school. Last week, we came back to on-site learning smoothly after lockdown in Victoria thanks to your support following Covid-19 restrictions. However, due to the new changes of the Covid-19 cases in Victoria, the Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Thursday that from 8pm on Thursday (5 August) Victoria would enter the sixth lockdown for seven days. Therefore, this weekend, we have to return to remote learning again. All the year levels (no classes for early-learning classes this weekend) would resume online learning. Please follow the online learning regulations (https://xjs.vic.edu.au/online-learning-notice/) to ensure our learning online is safe and smooth.
I would like to introduce you two programs today relating to our Chinese language and culture learning.
- NGV Chinese teachers and students program
The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) has a very rich and diverse collection of works from China. Its Chinese art gallery offers an incredible opportunity for teachers and students to experience language and culture and promote real-life language use.
The NGV has been working on online offering since the start of the pandemic and will soon launch a new Mandarin Language Virtual Excursion. These online resources and excursions can be accessed from classrooms or by individual students in their homes. The programs and resources are delivered and developed by NGV educators and offer insights and cultural contexts which can be then followed up in the language classrooms.
Here is a list of the upcoming Mandarin programs:
Student Program:
Thursday 12 August – Language Challenge: Chinese Cheongsam with Scotty So
