第三学期开学通知
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！本周末（7月16日/17日）我校正式开学。第三学期共有九个教学周，9月10日/11日结束。
由于目前既有疫情更有流感，我们强烈建议所有员工、学生和家长在校园里戴上口罩，保持社交距离。同时，继续要求家长在学生上课期间离开校园。保护校园健康安全，需要所有人的配合、支持。
照惯例，第三学期我校将举办学生各项学习技能比赛，比如，低年级学生的汉字书写比赛，中高年级学生朗诵演讲比赛，还有VCE将举办12年级学生学术竞赛和12年级学生的高考模拟考试。请大家注意具体比赛通知。
放假期间，我校组织了320位学生参加了中国侨联主办，广东省侨联、福建省侨联、广东省深圳市侨联、浙江省余姚市侨联、浙江省象山县侨联承办的“亲情中华.为你讲故事”网上夏令营活动，我校14位教师分别担任五个营的志愿者班主任。在网上夏令营举办期间，参营学生在老师和家长们的指导、帮助下，每天打卡、听故事，并交出了一份份优秀的作业，受到侨联领导和指导老师们的称赞。有关各个网上夏令营的详细报道，请大家查阅我校官网：https://xjs.vic.edu.au/onlinechineseculturecamp2022/

这个假期，我校还组织了200位学生参加了中华海外联谊会主办，北京华文学院承办的为期5天的“中华文化大乐园“活动。同学们在9个班级的教室里，跟随北京华文学院的才艺老师在线上学习中华才艺知识，跟随新金山的志愿者老师学习中华文化和才艺，取得了很大的收获。有关大乐园的详细报道，请查阅我校官网：https://xjs.vic.edu.au/2022-chinese-culture-camp/
需要特别指出的是，无论是网上夏令营，还是线下中华大乐园活动，都受到了参加者的喜爱，活动还没有结束就有家长提出想让孩子参加下一次的类似活动。一些因故没能参加的学生家长跟我联系，问是否还有机会让他们的孩子参加。我相信，参与这些活动对学生了解中华文化知识，掌握中华文化才艺，对中文学习起到了无可替代的促进作用。
为满足部分因各种原因没能参加到上述活动的学生的要求，我们在侨联的支持下，决定下个月再举办一个网上夏令营活动，限额50位。请有兴趣的学生扫描报名，额满为止。
最后，天气寒冷，请注意保暖，保重身体！周末校园见！

Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School
Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
I would like to let you know that Term 3 starts from this weekend (16/17 July). There are 9 weeks in Term 3 and it ends on 10/11 September.
Due to the combination of Covid and flu in this winter, we highly recommend that all the teachers, admin staff, students and parents wear face masks and keep in social distance while staying on campus. Meanwhile, parents are required as usual to leave the campus when the classes start. We appreciate your cooperation and support to keep our school environment safe and health.
In Term 3, there will be a couple of competitions ahead as usual, such as the Chinese Handwriting Competition for primary level students, Speaking Competition for elementary level students, VCE Year 12 Study Competition and VCE Year 12 Mock Exam. Please refer to the relevant notice for details later.
During Term 2 break, 320 students participated in the Online Chinese Culture Camp (Guangdong Camp, Fujian Camp, Shenzhen Camp, Yuyao Camp and Xiangshan Camp) organised by All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and 14 XJS teachers worked with these students as volunteer class leaders. In the event, participants worked hard listening to the stories of Chinese culture and history and presented wonderful work with huge support from their parents and class leaders, which have been highly appreciated and applauded by the representatives of ACFROC. For the reports on 2022 Online Chinese Culture Camp, please visit our website for details: https://xjs.vic.edu.au/onlinechineseculturecamp2022/

We also provided a 5-day Chinese Culture Camp onsite with 200 participants, hosted by China Overseas Exchanges Association and organised by Beijing Chinese Language and Culture College. Students in 9 classes learned various Chinese culture knowledge online with experts from Beijing Chinese Language and Culture College and gained hands-on experience on Chinese culture and traditional skills with volunteer teachers of XJS. Please visit our website for details: https://xjs.vic.edu.au/2022-chinese-culture-camp/
I would like to mention both online and onsite Chinese culture events have been largely applauded by all the participants and many parents have presented their interest in participating more cultural events in the future. Some parents whose children couldn’t make it this time asked me whether there is any other opportunity in the future. I believe these events have increased students’ interest in Chinese culture, tradition and skills and their Chinese language learning has been improved in return.
To cater for these students’ needs and with the support of All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, we are happy to let you know that another online Chinese culture camp would be organised in August with 50 places. Please scan the QR Code provided to register.
It’s quite cold recently. Please keep warm and healthy. Let’s see you onsite this weekend.
Best regards,
Kevin Hu, Principal
