关于第五届 “ 华文杯 ”2025年维州华裔青少年中华故事会大赛等事宜
(English version available in the end)
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！第三学期至今全校教学秩序正常。12年级毕业班的同学们即将迎来高考倒计时100天，目前各个班级的同学们正在老师们的精心指导和家长们的全力配合，以及志愿者们的帮助下强化口语技能、阅读理解和专题写作的训练。整个12年级的学习氛围充满活力和生机，同学们充满自信和激情，体现出积极向上的精神，让人感到满满的希望和动力。
在过去的两个星期，维多利亚教学质量监督局VRQA对我校的VCE教学（包括师资、教学计划和教学安排）、校园安全（包括儿童安全的政策制定、员工培训和具体实施措施）以及紧急抢救等各个方面进行了上门全面检查。我校在绝大多数方面合格，这是学校社区所有成员（包括老师、家长、学生、行政管理人员和志愿者）共同努力的结果。在检查中我们还被告知鉴于儿童安全法律新规的通过，我们学校需要在9月1日之后作出儿童安全保护工作的进一步改进。我校各校区按照教育部的要求分别设立了儿童安全专员，我们学校将通过各校区的校长和儿童安全专员对所有教职员工进行定期培训，保障儿童安全和校园的安全。
今天写信有一项重要的跟中文学习相关的知识竞赛活动跟大家介绍。
由维州华校联络会主办的第五届 “ 华文杯 ”2025年维州华裔青少年中华故事会大赛即将开始。
活动主题：弘扬中华优秀传统文化，激发维州华裔青少年对中华文化的认同感与归属感，鼓励他们以语言为桥梁，更深入地了解中华民族源远流长的历史、丰富多彩的艺术形式以及博大精深的人文精神，现拟通过以讲促学的方式，举办第五届“华文杯”——2025年维州华裔青少年中华故事会大赛。
本次大赛由致力于促进海外华语教学、中华文化海外传承与推广、澳大利亚多元文化繁荣的澳大利亚维州华文学校联络会主办，并得到中国驻墨尔本总领事馆的大力支持。
大赛旨在通过知识竞答，皮影戏展示等多种形式，培养华裔青少年的语言表达能力和逻辑思维能力，提升他们对中华文化的认知与热情，同时搭建一个展示自我、交流思想、传播文化的多元平台。参赛学生将围绕中华文化主题进行深入探讨与创意表达，既是语言能力的锻炼，也是文化理解的延伸。

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
So far in Term 3, the overall teaching order of the school has been running smoothly. The Year 12 students are about to enter the 100-day countdown to the VCE final examinations. At present, under the instruction of our teachers, the strong support of parents and the assistance of volunteers, students are strengthening their training in oral skills, reading comprehension and specialized writing. The entire Year 12 is filled with vitality and energy. The students are full of confidence and enthusiasm, showing a positive and uplifting spirit that brings a strong sense of hope and motivation.
In the past two weeks, the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) conducted a comprehensive on-site inspection of our school’s VCE teaching (including teaching staff, curriculum and teaching arrangements), campus child safety (including child safety policy development, staff training and implementation measures), as well as emergency response procedures. Our school met the requirements in most areas, which is the result of the collective efforts of all members of the school community, including teachers, parents, students, admin staff and volunteers. During the inspection, we were also informed that, in light of the newly passed child safety legislation, we will need to further improve our child protection measures after September 1. In accordance with the Department of Education’s requirements, each of our campuses has appointed a Child Safety Officer. Through the campus coordinators and Child Safety Officers at each campus, our school will provide regular training to all staff to ensure the safety of children and the overall safety of the campus.
Today I am writing to introduce an important competition related to Chinese learning.
The 5th “Chinese Cup” Chinese Storytelling Competition for Chinese Youth in Victoria, organized by the Victorian Chinese Schools Association, is about to start in 2025.
Theme of the event: To promote the outstanding traditional Chinese culture, inspire a sense of identity and belonging among Chinese youth in Victoria, and encourage them to use language as a bridge to gain a deeper understanding of the long history of China, its rich and diverse art forms and its profound humanistic spirit. To achieve this, the 5th “Chinese Cup” — 2025 Chinese Storytelling Competition for Chinese Youth in Victoria will be held in the form of “learning through storytelling.”
This event is organized by the Chinese Schools Association of Victoria, which is dedicated to promoting Chinese language education outside China, the inheritance and dissemination of Chinese culture abroad and the prosperity of multiculturalism in Australia, with strong support from the Consulate-General of the People’s Republic of China in Melbourne.
The event aims to cultivate the language expression skills and logical thinking abilities of Chinese youth through various forms such as knowledge quizzes and shadow puppet performances, while enhancing their understanding of and enthusiasm for Chinese culture. At the same time, it provides a diverse platform for showcasing talents, exchanging ideas and promoting culture. Participating students will engage in in-depth exploration and creative expression around themes of Chinese culture, which serves both as a training in language skills and as an extension of cultural understanding.
The event details
1. Eligibility and Registration: All students currently enrolled in Chinese schools officially registered with the Victorian Department of Education may voluntarily register for the competition through their own school and participate in the preliminary selection organized by the school.
