新金山中文学校校长信箱（08102020）Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School Principal’s Message
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！我们开学了！我校第四学期从本周末（10月10日/11日）至12月5日/6日，共九个教学周。
根据教育部的规定，第一周所有学生开展网课教学，第二周起所有社区语言学校学前、1-10年级学生保持网课，VCE11年级、12年级学生返回课堂上课。
教育部和高考局对VCE学生返校学习有特别的健康卫生要求，除了不需要测量体温之外，大家必须做到的要求有：
- 所有师生员工必须使用口罩（围巾等无效，教师上课时可不限）；
- 所有访客只能去学校办公室，不可进入教室；
- 所有教职员工必须有工作许可，必须提供学校地址、电话，以及校长姓名和联系方式，必须在许可证上签名；
- 凡身体不适的老师、学生和其他工作人员必须呆在家里；
- 学生不可混班上课，教室重复使用间隙必须清洗、消毒；
- 课间必须保持1.5米社交间隔距离；
- 学生和家长在上课前后不得在校门口聚集，家长或监护人下车接孩子必须戴口罩；
- 学生可带手机，但必须做到上课关闭、放学打开。建议经常清洁手机。
我校今年第二、第三学期的网课教学得到学生和家长们的高度认可，学生上网课的平均出勤率达到了98%，这是相当亮丽的好成绩。但是，我们的老师们并没有自满，他们在过去的假期里分别参加了各个年级组举办的年级组教研活动，他们总结了网课教学的利弊，分享了各自探索出来的成功经验，还讨论了上好第四学期网课或实体课的教学方法。我相信，我们所有的老师会继续努力给学生们提供最好的中文和中华文化的教学。
在假期中，我校VCE中文部给VCE12年级毕业班的学生举办了一场网上考试。我们严格按照高考局规定的考试要求，精心准备，认真监考。在连续两天的不同语种的考试中，数百位VCE毕业班的同学严格遵守考场纪律，认真应考，给全校其它年级的学生们做出了榜样。我祝愿所有VCE毕业班的同学们在本学期最后数周的学习冲刺中掌握要领、劳逸结合，考出自己最好的成绩！
最后，祝大家平安健康！周末见！

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
Wecome back to Term 4. This term we would start from 10/11 October to 5/6 December, 9 weeks in total.
We’ve been informed by the Department of Education and Training that the first week of Term 4 would remain remote learning. From the second week of Term 4, all the prep, year 1 to year 10 students of community language schools would continue remote learning until further notice and year 11 and 12 students would return to on-site learning.
As requested by DET and VCAA, the following measures are to be followed:
- All the teachers and admin staff are required to wear face masks (Not scarfs. Teachers are not required to wear face masks while teaching, but can if they wish to do so);
- Visitors are only allowed to enter the office onsite, not classrooms;
- All the teachers and admin staff are required to carry a Permitted Worker Permit with the school’s address, contact number, principal name and contact number and their signature;
- Unwell students, teachers and admin staff have to stay at home;
- Mixing of students from different classes should be minimised and classrooms need to be cleaned and sanitised during breaks;
- Maintaining a physical distance of 1.5 metres during break time;
- Avoid congregating at the entrance of the school at drop-off and pick-up time. Parents and carers are required to wear face masks whenever they leave the house, including for school drop-off and pick-up.
- Students’ phones could be turned on before and after school and regular cleaning of their phones is encouraged.
Our remote learning has been largely acknowledged by students and parents in Term 2 and Term 3 and 98% of students have attended online classes. During Term 3 break, our teachers have attended various seminars sharing their experience in remote teaching and providing feedbacks on improving the quality of teaching in Term 4. I believe they would keep on working hard to provide best Chinese language and culture learning experience for our students.
Our VCE 12 students attended a special online exam during the school break which was carefully planned and supervised according to the requirements of VCAA. During the online exam, over 100 VCE students have observed examination rules strictly, followed guidance of the exam supervisors and taken the exam seriously which set a good example for students of other year levels. I hope all the VCE 12 students could take good use of the last few weeks before the final exams and present their best performance.
Stay safe and healthy and let’s see you on weekends.
Best regards,
Kevin Hu
Principal
