关于校园安全和假期活动的话题

各位老师、同学和家长：

大家好！今天的第一个重要话题是要跟大家讲校园的健康安全。

首先校园安全是指不发生师生身体受伤的事故。由于Mt Waverley总校的科技大楼工程将在6月底结束，因此目前家长开车把孩子送进校园导致高峰期比较拥挤，交通安全务必要引起大家的特别注意。这里，要特别跟大家报告一下：澳大利亚华人专业人士俱乐部（CPCA）安排会员到我校担任校园安全志愿者。CPCA的会员中有不少原来就是我校学生家长，当年他们的孩子在我校学习期间这些家长就已经是我们的校园安全志愿者了，现在他们吸收了一大批新会员并把这个关爱学生的好传统继承恢复起来。我代表学校向CPCA 及所有志愿者们表示衷心的感谢。

其次校园安全也包括师生们的卫生健康。随着冬季的到来，流感在社区逐渐蔓延，疫情也死灰复燃。我们学校社区的所有成员都要对健康安全引起重视，尤其特别要对新冠疫情保持警惕。

我们建议所有人在进入校园时戴口罩。我们希望所有人在身体不舒时及时做自我核酸检测。如果有阳性结果的，根据维多利亚州卫生部的建议，所有维多利亚州人都应该在线或致电1800 675 398向卫生部报告他们的阳性结果。如果您的孩子报告阳性的，家长或监护人应通过电话或书面通知通知学校。

所有报告阳性结果的，必须隔离至少5天，在症状消除之前不能来学校。如果您的家庭中有人检测呈阳性，请每天作核酸测试，并确保来学校之前得到阴性结果。

我们没有面对各种病菌的天然免疫力，只有确保遵守卫生安全指南，才可保护我们自己。感谢大家的理解和支持，我们共同努力保护校园的健康安全。

第二个重要话题是假期的活动。近些天有家长跟我反映，他们因担心疫情的反复打算不安排假期带孩子外出旅游，其中有些家长表示他们的孩子在疫情封城期间参加了学校组织的网上夏令营活动，他们向我打听这次假期是否有网上夏令营活动。

网上夏令营由中国侨联主办，全名“亲情中华.为你讲故事”网上夏令营。在三年疫情期间，我校每年由数以百计的学生参加了中国各地侨联举办的网上夏令营活动。网上夏令营以学生入群（微信群或视屏会议室等）听故事、看视频，然后打卡做作业（画画、才艺表演）等，每天的内容都精彩，很受孩子们的喜欢。参加网上夏令营的学生既丰富了假期生活又提高了中文和中华文化知识水平。因此，假期居家时参加网上夏令营无疑是一个很好的选项。

这里，向大家推荐两个在假期专门为我校学校举办的网上夏令营武威营和厦门营。两个营内容各有千秋，武威营6月17日开营，6月26日结营；厦门营6月18日开营，6月27日闭营。如有兴趣让孩子参加，在报名截止期本星期日（6月11日）之前，欢迎点击报名。

最后，祝大家阖家安康，周末校园见！

Principal’s Message

Dear teachers, students and parents,

I would like to talk about the security and safety of campus today. The focus of our campus security is making sure no teachers and students get injured on campus. As the renovation project on the senior campus of MWSC is coming to an end by the end of June, there are still a bit traffic jam on and around the campus during peak time and please make sure you drive safely on campus and taking good care of your child/ren when walking on campus. I would like to let you know that members of Chinese Professionals Club of Australia (CPCA) have come to our school working as volunteers supervising the security of our campuses on weekends. Many of them used to be yard duty volunteers of XJS when their children were learning Chinese in our school years ago. We are pleased to welcome them back with more CPCA members keeping this wonderful tradition working as volunteers of XJS. I would like to present my sincere appreciation to all the volunteers from CPCA.

The focus of our campus safety is keeping our teachers and students healthy and well on campus. As the winter is coming, we must be alert about the spread of flu and covid in communities.

It’s recommended that all our teachers, students and parents wear face masks when entering the campus and take rapid antigen test if you have flu-like symptoms. If you test positive for COVID-19, report your positive rapid antigen test result by calling the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398. If your child is test positive, please inform us by phone call or email.

If you test positive for COVID-19, you should isolate for at least 5 days or as long as you have symptoms. If your family members test positive, please take the antigen test everyday making sure you are test negative before coming to school.

The best way to protect ourselves and others is to follow the health instructions. Let’s work together to maintain a safe learning environment for our children.

The second topic I would like to talk about is the holiday programs. Many parents approached me recently claiming that they are not planning to travel during school holidays due to the concerns of covid and would like to know whether there are any online holiday programs available.

I would like to let you know that the online Chinese Culture Camp has been largely applauded in the past three years and hundreds of XJS students have participated and benefited from the program. Participants are expected to listen to stories and watch videos about Chinese history and culture online and complete specific learning tasks including handcrafting and performing arts and our students have been busy and happy with well-designed activities. Therefore, it is a wonderful choice if you would stay at home during term breaks.

During Term 2 break, there will be two online Chinese Culture Camp available. Wuwei Camp is from 17 June to 26 June and Xiamen Camp is from 18 June to 27 June. If you are interested, please register by this coming Sunday (11 June) by clicking here.

Keep your family members healthy and well. Let’s see you on campus this weekend.

Yours sincerely,

Kevin Hu, Principal
