AFL澳式足球来到我校
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！我校根据政府和上级主管部门的要求从本月起全校各年级学生返校上学。感谢全校师生和家长们的团结一致和支持。两个星期来，我校教师和行政人员严格遵照政府的各项要求，保障校园环境的健康安全。所有做了新冠疫情检测为阳性以及家庭有成员检测为阳性的学生，都做到了自觉在家隔离。全校各年级学生出勤总体稳定，教学正常。
感谢家长们及时提供孩子们的检测信息，使到我们每周能公布“我校最新新冠疫情报告”，让大家关注疫情，注意健康安全，报告的阅读链接：https://xjs.vic.edu.au/covid-19-new-case-updates/
今天，我要在这里专门跟大家讲的是AFL澳式足球来到我校的事。大家知道，澳式足球（也称澳式橄榄球）是1896年在墨尔本创立的，至今将有126年的历史，墨尔本队俱乐部也是世界上历史最悠久的足球俱乐部。澳式足球不仅是澳大利亚最受欢迎的体育运动，更成为澳洲文化的象征。因而，政府鼓励多元文化移民社区成员（尤其是少年儿童）了解并参与澳式足球运动。
我们新金山中文学校曾经与Western Bulldogs西部头牛犬足球队结成社区合作伙伴关系，该队在2016年时隔62年夺得年度联赛总冠军。后来，由于球队跟社区联络区域划分的原因，我们从2019年起支持Melbourne墨尔本足球队，还曾包车组织了200多学生去MCG球场观看球赛。墨尔本队在去年时隔57年夺得年度联赛总冠军，而跟墨尔本队争夺冠军的则是西部头牛犬队。
这个星期天（3月20日）下午二点，AFL Victoria将在Mt Waverley总校跟我们的学生举办一场澳式足球（橄榄球）体验活动，所有当天下午在校的学生参加（因年龄要求VCE学生除外），球星和专业教练会跟学生们讲解一些基础知识并让大家玩玩球，现场还会有纪念品送出。
如果你不在那个时间段上课，但是也想参加这次活动的，请扫以下宣传广告内的二维码报名，你也会得到纪念品的（报名截止本周五下午5点）。
预祝活动成功。我们周末校园见！

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
We have returned to onsite learning from March 2022 and thank you all for your great support and cooperation. In the last two weeks, we have strictly followed the relevant regulations of DET to ensure the health and safety of our campuses onsite. All the students and family members who have got positive covid-19 test results have isolated themselves at home. The attendance rates on each year level are stable and our teaching has been done smoothly. I would like to thank all the parents who have reported their children’s covid-19 test results in time and please find our weekly Covid-19 New Cases Updates at: https://xjs.vic.edu.au/covid-19-new-case-updates/
Today, I would like to talk about AFL with our school. As you have known, AFL was firstly established in 1896 in Melbourne with 126 years’ history and the Melbourne Football Club is one of the AFL teams with longest history. AFL is not only a popular sport in Australia, but also the symbol of Australian culture. The government has encouraged multicultural community members (especially youngsters) to understand and participate in AFL.
XJS used to establish a community partnership with Western Bulldogs for years and this team won the Grand Final in 2016, its historic first premiership in 62 years. From 2019, we became the supporter of Melbourne Football Club and have organised over 200 students to watch AFL games in MCG. The team ended a 57-year premiership drought beating the Western Bulldogs in the 2021 AFL Grand Final.
This coming Sunday (20 March) 2PM, AFL Victoria would organise an AFL experience event with our students on the senior campus of Mt Waverley. All the students enrolled in Sunday afternoon classes (except VCE students due to age limits) are able to have a bit fun with football players and coaches learning some basic footy skills and joining the games. Some souvenirs would be available onsite.
If you are not enrolled in Sunday afternoon classes but would like to join the event, please scan the QR Code on the last page and you would also be able to get the souvenirs (registration due at 5PM, Friday, 18 March).
I wish the event a great success. Let’s see you on campus this weekend.
Best regards,
Kevin Hu, Principal
