第三学期近况及维州华裔青少年中华文化知识大赛
(English version available in the end)
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！本学期开学以来因气候、流感及新冠等原因导致不少师生因病请假。因教育部对社区语言学校任教教师有严格的规定，使得我们跟日校一样面临师资短缺的困难。学校在过去的几个星期里不得不花大量精力寻找合格的代课教师，也不得不采取各种临时的举措来保障让学生们正常上课。在这里，我要特别向学校社区的每一位老师、同学和家长表示衷心的感谢，正是有了大家的理解和配合才维护了学校教学的正常开展。我注意到，每个周末放学前都会有很多来接孩子的家长进入校园，虽然教室周围没有护栏，但家长们都很自觉地与教室保持一定的距离，也没有大声喧哗，直到放学哨子吹响后才平静地走向孩子上课的教室。我给家长们点大赞。我相信，家长的这种行为体现出了良好的素质，也无疑会给孩子们起到好的榜样作用。我在这里也想向极少数的几位家长友情提醒一下：如您能在驾车进出校园或安全停车方面注意礼让、注意泊车规定，不抢一秒、不与人争，您的言传身教也一定会是孩子们的好榜样的。
这里，我要跟大家正式介绍一项由维多利亚州华文学校联络会主办的第四届 “ 华文杯 ”2024年维州华裔青少年中华文化知识大赛。“华文杯”赛的前三届是以朗诵为主，我校均有学生参加并分别取得了优异的成绩。在维州华校中举办中华文化知识大赛是为进一步弘扬、推广和传承中华文化，增强华裔青少年对自身文化的认同感和自豪感，鼓励他们积极学习和了解包括历史、文化、艺术、传统习俗等各方面的中华文化知识，不断提升他们的文化素养。
本次比赛由维州华文学校联络会秘书处及志愿者老师统一提供题库，总计1000题，涵盖中国文化、中国历史、中国地理、中国近现代科技和海外华人现状五大方面。参赛学生分四格组别：（1）1-3年级组；（2）4-6年级组；（3）7-9年级组；（4）10-12年级组。学生年级以日校年级为准，每所中文学校仅可推派每组3位学生参加维州决赛。
我校已将大赛规定的题库内容（有题目和答案）整理分类为四大组别供学生们参考：（1）1-3年级组题库请点击；（2）4-6年级组题库请点击；（3）7-9年级组题库请点击；（4）10-12年级组题库请点击。我鼓励全校学生作为学习中国文化、历史、地理等知识的一个机会，积极参与，了解自己年级组的题库内容，了解参赛的相关知识。学校会通过班主任老师请有兴趣的学生报名参加比赛，学校会举办各年级组的预赛，从中挑选出每组3位学生代表学校参加第四届 “ 华文杯 ”2024年维州华裔青少年中华文化知识大赛。
最后，祝大家平安、健康！周末校园见！

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
Due to the weather change and spread of flu and covid virus, many students and teachers have been sick since the start of Term 3. We have gone through teacher shortage as mainstream schools because of the specific DET requirements for teachers. We have made great efforts seeking for qualified replacement teachers and made various variation in the last few weeks to make sure our classes run smoothly. I would like to pay my sincere appreciation to all the teachers, students and their families for your great support and understanding. I have noticed that many parents have entered the campus before the school is over. Although there are no fences around the classrooms, parents stay away from the classrooms and keep quite while waiting for their children. I would like to give you a big thumbs up for your excellent manner and I’m sure you have set up a good example for your children. I would like to kindly remind some parents to be prepared to give way to pedestrians while driving through the campus or parking onsite and I believe your children would learn from you.
I would like to introduce you 2024 Victorian Youth Chinese Culture Quiz Competition organised by Victorian Chinese Schools Association. The purpose of the competition is to promote Chinese culture, encourage students’ Chinese culture recognition and improve their learning and understanding of Chinese knowledge in history, arts, culture and tradition.
The quiz bank has been prepared by Victorian Chinese Schools Association and volunteer teachers. 1000 quiz questions cover the knowledge of Chinese culture, history, geometry, modern technology development and the current situation of Chinese people outside China. Participants would be divided into four groups: Y1-3 group, Y4-6 group, Y7-9 group and Y10-12 group. The year group is based on mainstream school year levels. Each Chinese school could recommend 3 students for each group to attend the final competition in Victoria.
We have prepared quiz bank by year groups (with questions and answers): Y1-3 quiz bank, please click here; Y4-6 quiz bank, please click here; Y7-9 quiz bank, please click here; Y10-12 quiz bank, please click here. We highly recommend students to take this opportunity to learn and better understand Chinese culture, history and geometry by clicking the quiz bank of your suitable year level group. The school would organise the first-round competition for each year group and top 3 students of each group would proudly attend the final competition as our school’s representatives.
Keep safe and healthy. Let’s see you on campus this weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu, Principal
