第四学期开学通知 07/10/2021
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！我校第四学期从本周末（10月9日/10日）起开学了。根据教育部的规定，目前所有社区语言学校保持网课学习。换句话说，除了早教班停课之外，学前班、1-12年级的所有学生都上网课。
虽然维州政府公布的解禁路线图里谈到第四学期学生将会返校学习。但是，由于社区语言学校的学生来自四面八方、不同区域，因此根据公共健康专家的建议：社区语言学校无论在大都市或乡村地区都必须继续开展网课教学。有关疫情限制的具体信息请查询：www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au。
我知道，上网课给一些学生和家庭带来一定的困难，尤其是今年要毕业的VCE12年级学生。我很希望我们学校社区的每一位成员，如果你符合疫苗接种条件，请立刻预约接种。政府现在已经要求所有学校的教职员工接种疫苗。目前看来只有民众广泛接种了疫苗，社会才会开放，生活才会恢复正常，我们也才可以安全返回校园。
我在这里特别要提一提VCE12年级的师生们。你们克服种种困难坚持学习，在假期里参加了由我校VCE中文部组织举办的口语和笔试两场模拟高考。尽管疫情严峻，但师生们表现出了高昂的斗志。我向大家表示致意，并预祝同学们在即将到来的VCE中文高考中取得理想的好成绩。
目前，我校各年级正分别举办年级组教研活动，这将为保证第四学期顺利完成教学任务、提高教学质量打下基础。在本学期里，我们各年级将会组织学生参加第22届世界华人学生作文大赛（参赛主题可自行安排），有的年级也会以此作为期末考试的写作内容。我校学生参加过往十多届作文比赛都取得了靓丽的成绩，相信这次我们的学生们一定也会写出大量的好作文的。
第四学期将开展我校明年1-12年级各个年级精英班的招生报名和考试录取工作，请有兴趣的同学和家长关注我校精英中文部和VCE中文部的通知（一旦发布也会在学校网站上公布）。

此外，上个学期我校有近百位学生参加了首届“华文杯”中文短视频大赛，最后有27位同学的视频作品进入了大赛的复赛，我请大家给这些同学投票，鼓励支持（截止日期：10月14日），请点击链接：https://react.showmine66.com/itemDetails?itemId=026ba3bb611f2b7c1229a6dfb59c9f1c
最后，请大家注意健康安全。我们本周末网课见！

Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School
Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
I would like to inform you that Term 4 starts from this coming weekend (9/10 Oct). As instructed by DET, all the community language schools would continue with remote learning at this stage, which means, students of prep and year 1-12 classes would participate online learning (there is no class for Early Learning students) in Term 4.
Although the Victorian Government recently announced a roadmap that sets out a staged return to onsite learning for Victorian schools from Term 4, CLV has given us clear instruction that “Due to the increased risk of mixing of students from different schools, and in line with current public health advice, community language schools must continue with remote learning in metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria” as our students come from different suburbs and areas. Please refer to www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au for more details.
I understand that remote learning has brought difficulties to our students and their families, especially our VCE 12 students. I encourage every member of our school community to receive Covid-19 vaccine if you are able and fit to do so. Now all the mainstream school’s staff and teachers are required to be vaccinated. It seems that only when most Victorians are vaccinated can we return to normal life.
I would like to appreciate the great efforts of VCE 12 students who haven’t stopped their learning during lockdown and attended the oral and written mock tests organised by our VCE program during the school holiday. I wish you all the best and hope you could achieve excellent results in the final VCE exams ahead.
Our teachers are attending teaching seminars to maintain the quality of teaching as usual in Term 4. We would soon organise students to participate the 22nd Worldwide Writing Competition for Chinese Students soon (free-themed) and it may become the writing part of Term 4 exam for some year levels. In the last few years, our students have presented excellent performance in this competition and I believe they can compose outstanding pieces of writing again this year.
The selective entry tests for year 1-12 Accelerated Chinese Program would start soon in Term 4. Please refer to our school notices and website announcements when the information is available.
Moreover, in Term 3, hundreds of students participated the 1st “Chinese Cup” Chinese Short Video Competition and 27 students have entered the second round. Please feel free to vote for them to show your support by the end of 14 October at https://react.showmine66.com/itemDetails?itemId=026ba3bb611f2b7c1229a6dfb59c9f1c
Stay safe and healthy. Let’s see you online this weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu, Principal
