新金山中文学校校长信箱 （29/10/2021）Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School Principal’s Message
各位老师、同学和家长好！
最近，不少老师、同学和家长跟我联系，他们最关注的有两件事：第一件事是随着疫情限制的逐步放宽，以及日校学生即将全部返校上课，问我们学校什么时候返校上课？第二件事是我们学校明年的学生注册交费什么时候开始？另外，有些新生没有拿到教材，所有学前班的学生都在用电子版课本没有领到第四学期的课本，更有不少学生的作业本练习册老师批改后没有发回给学生。我在这里给大家做个解答：
根据教育部规定，所有社区语言学校无论是在大都市地区还是在乡村地区，目前一律保持上网课。有任何新的安排变化，我们会及时跟进并通报给大家。
照惯例，我们每次学生为下一学年注册、付费，以及招收新生的工作都会在11月中旬全面开始。学校这样的安排是考虑到要让老师们在第四学期先集中精力上好课，保障教学工作的顺利开展。在第四学期的最后几周，我们的老师将会给每位学生写学习成绩报告，各个班级将要评选年度最佳学生、优秀学生和学习进步学生并给予奖励。同时，公布学校制定的明年的招生简章，鼓励大家注册、付费。当然，学校历年来实行的提前一次付清明年全年学费享受“早鸟”特别优惠，以及其它一些优惠举措均会保持不变。请家长们留意班主任老师发出的明年注册交费通知。
此外，学校正在积极与日校联系，看看能否在周末借用日校场地给学生发教材课本和作业本练习册。这方面有任何消息，我们也会通过班主任老师通知大家。
近两天天气不好，影响到部分老师和同学的家庭用电以及网络的稳定。学校方面会尽可能安置好教师，让他们能正常给大家上课。学生方面确实无法解决困难的，请跟老师联系看看能否安排换时间上课。总之，我们争取克服各种困难，继续上好中文课。
最后，天气变化多请大家注意健康安全。我们周末网课见！

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
Many teachers, students and parents approached me recently raising their concerns on two things: 1. When we could return to onsite learning as the lockdown restrictions are eased gradually and mainstream school students would return to onsite learning? 2. When would 2022 registration and fee collection start? There are also some other concerns raised such as some students haven’t got the textbooks (such as prep students) and some haven’t got the exercise books returned from their teachers. I would like to clarify these questions as follows.
According to the instructions from DET, all the community language schools (both in Great Melbourne and Regional area) would remain remote learning at this stage. We would inform you any updates if there are any change.
Normally, our registration and fee collection for the next year start from mid-November to make sure teachers could focus on providing high-quality teaching in Term 4. In the last few weeks of Term 4, teachers are expected to prepare school reports for students and present awards for students who have performed well in the year and those who have showed great progress in learning. The 2022 Admission Guide is now ready, and you could find relevant information regarding registration and payment. There would be early-bird and other payment benefits as usual and please refer to the payment notice presented by the class teachers later.
Moreover, we are communicating with day schools regarding whether it is possible for us to rent the campus on weekends for handing out textbooks and exercise books. The class teachers would forward the relevant notices to you when they are available.
The weather has been wild in the last few days and teachers and students might encounter power and internet issues. We would try our best to support teachers making sure the online classes could be delivered as usual. If you have such problems that couldn’t be solved soon, please contact your class teachers for another class arrangement. Hope we could all go through these difficulties and keep on the Chinese learning.
Take care of yourself and your family and see you online this weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu
