第二学期开学通知暨公众假日停课通知

(English version available in the end)

各位老师、同学和家长：

我校今年第二学期将从本周末（4月18日/19日）起开学。但是，由于下个星期周六（4月25日）是澳纽军团日（ANZAC DAY）是澳大利亚全国性纪念日与公众假期，澳洲社会将会举办庄重的仪式礼仪缅怀军人付出的牺牲和奉献。因此，我校决定在下个星期周末（4月25日/26日）停课，5月2日/3日起正常上课，第二学期到6月20日/21日结束。

今天，我要跟全校师生和家长们报告一个好消息：我校学生在第二十六届世界华人学生作文大赛中再次获得优异成绩。

据报道，世界华人学生作文大赛由中国全国侨联等单位主办，系中国国家教育部批准的全国性竞赛活动。本届大赛有73个国家和地区的3880所学校、570多万学生参加，参赛稿件55万多份。最终评出特等奖50名、一等奖3700名、二等奖13200名、三等奖18300名，获奖作品比例大约6%。新金山中文学校连续多年组织老师认真辅导学生参赛，年年取得佳绩。这次共有44位学生获四个参赛组别的等级奖，其中，我校薛静楡老师指导的葛曦文同学的作品《 “星辰“与”像素“》夺得大赛特等奖（55万多参赛作品中仅50个获特等奖），我校刘芸、崔红爱、李想、郭莹、徐佩芬、薛兰花、蔡丹虹、陈源进、陈儒宣、吴明、任莉莉、刘幸嫦等老师指导的学生的作品分别获得9个一等奖、14个二等奖、20个三等奖，再次证明了新金山中文学校在中文教育领域教学严谨、成果显著（查阅具体获奖名单请点击）。

在这里，请允许我代表全校师生向所有获奖学生和他们的指导老师以及家长们表示祝贺。期待有更多的学生认真学好中文取得好成绩。

此外，我要跟一至七年级的老师、同学和家长们报告一个好消息：

我们现在使用的小学《中文》（第三版）的多媒体版本已经正式发布，大家可以在我校官网内阅览、下载（不支持手机阅览），网址：https://xjs.vic.edu.au/form_download/，请点击“《中文》电子课本（第三版）”，出现的页面上方2个方格“华文”和“中文“，请选择点击”中文“，在页面下方的3个方格“教材”、“教师手册”、“练习册”中，老师、学生和家长可根据需要选择在“教材”、“教师手册”或“练习册”上点击，然后可下载12册课本中的相关内容。下载内容不支持视听，如果您需要视听课文或练习的话，请保持在线。

希望这个多媒体电子版课本既能帮助到有一定中文基础能自己预习或复习巩固中文水平的学生，更能帮助到家庭中不讲中文的学生能借力辅助学习中文。同学和家长在使用中如遇到问题可联系班主任老师或可到校区办公室咨询，我们乐意为学生们学好中文提供各种帮助。

最后，预祝大家第二学期顺利。周末校园见！

Principal’s Message

Dear teachers, students and parents,

I would like to let you know our Term 2 will begin this weekend (18/19 April). However, because the following Saturday (25 April) is ANZAC Day, a national day of remembrance and a public holiday in Australia, and solemn ceremonies will be held to commemorate the sacrifices and contributions of our military personnel, XJS has decided to suspend classes next weekend (25/26 April, no school on the two days). Classes will resume as normal on 2/3 May and the Term 2 will end on 20/21 June.

Today, I have some good news to share with all the teachers, students and parents: our students have once again achieved excellent results in the 26th World Chinese Students’ Writing Competition.

According to reports, the World Chinese Students’ Writing Competition, sponsored by the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and other organizations, is a nationwide competition approved by the Ministry of Education of China. This year’s competition attracted over 5.7 million students from 3,880 schools in 73 countries and regions, submitting over 550,000 entries. Ultimately, 50 Special Prizes, 3,700 First Prizes, 13,200 Second Prizes, and 18,300 Third Prizes were awarded, with the winning entries accounting for approximately 6% of the total. For many years, XJS has organized teachers to instruct students passionately in participating in competitions, achieving excellent results year after year. This year, a total of 44 students won awards in four age group categories. Among them, Xiwen Ge, a student instructed by the teacher Jingyu Xue, won the Grand Prize for her work “Stars and Pixels” (only 50 out of more than 550,000 entries won the Grand Prize). Students instructed by teachers Yun Liu, Hongai Cui, Xiang Li, Ying Guo, Peifen Xu, Lanhua Xue, Danhong Cai, Yuanjin Chen, Ruxuan Chen, Ming Wu, Lili Ren, and Xingchang Liu won 9 first prizes, 14 second prizes, and 20 third prizes respectively, once again demonstrating the rigorous teaching and remarkable achievements of XJS in the field of Chinese language education (To view the complete list of winners, please click here).

On behalf of all the teachers and students of XJS, I would like to extend my congratulations to all the award-winning students, their teachers and their parents. We look forward to seeing more students study Chinese passionately and achieve excellent results.

In addition, I have some good news to share with the teachers, students and parents of Years 1-7:

The digital version of our current Chinese textbook (primary category, third edition) has been officially released. You can view and download it on our school’s official website (mobile viewing is not supported) at https://xjs.vic.edu.au/form_download/. Please click on “《中文》Electronic Textbook (Third Edition)”. Two boxes, “华文” and “中文”, will appear at the top of the page. Please select “中文”. At the bottom of the page, teachers, students and parents can choose to click on “Textbook”, “Teacher’s Manual”, or “Workbook” as needed to download relevant content from the 12 textbooks. The downloaded content does not support audio-visual playback. Please remain online if you need to view or listen to the texts or exercises.

We hope this multimedia e-textbook will not only help students with a basic level of Chinese who can preview or review and consolidate their Chinese language, but also assist students whose families do not speak Chinese at home. Students and parents who encounter problems while using the textbook can contact their class teacher or visit the school office for support. We are happy to provide all the possible assistance to help students learn Chinese well.

I wish you all a successful Term 2. See you on campus this weekend!

Yours sincerely,

Kevin Hu, Principal
