新金山中文学校校长信箱（12/02/2021）Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School Principal’s Message
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！新学年开学2个星期以来，学校的教学日趋正常。虽然交通依然拥挤但已有明显改善，大家在学校社区里言行文明也为孩子们作出了良好的表率。老师们不仅认真完成教学任务，还轮流在校园安全执勤尽到了儿童安全保护者的职责。学生们返校踊跃绝大部分班级的出勤都达到了满勤。我要感谢所有老师、同学和家长，感谢大家齐心协力为保障我校优质的华文教学做出了富有成效的努力！
这里，还有几件事要提请大家注意：
- 在维州目前疫情依然紧张的情况之下，请大家务必遵守政府颁布的疫情管制举措，尤其是带孩子进入校区时必须戴上口罩；
- 家长把孩子送入教室后请离开校园，不可在校园滞留，更不可聚在一起聊天。咨询和交费请到学校办公室；
- 请适当提前到校，如找不到停车位可在学校附近的居民区的无限制区域泊车，请勿在通道口和居民住宅车道上泊车，以免受罚。
大家读到此信的时候应该已经是中国农历新年辛丑年的元日—春节了。春节作为中国第一大节日，而传统的农历新年已有4000多年的历史。几千年来世界发生了天翻地覆的变化，但维系中华民族的文化内涵并没有改变。春节不仅仅是一个节日，同时也是华夏民族一年一度合家团圆、亲情交融的重要日子，已成为中华民族的精神家园。无论华人生活在世界的什么地方，我们都会过春节并互致新年美好的祝愿。
辛丑年的属肖是牛，牛所代表的是勤劳。我在这里给大家拜年：祝各位牛年吉祥、平安健康、阖家幸福、万事如意！

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
We are glad to let you know that the first two weeks of Term 1 went smoothly. Although the traffic around the campus was a bit busy, the situation improved in week 2. I would like to thank all the parents for setting a good example for all the students. I would also like to appreciate our teachers who have not only accomplished their teaching tasks as expected but also taken the role of yard duty making sure all the students on campus are safe and sound. I’m pleased to know that the students’ attendance rate has reached 100% in the first two weeks. Thank you all for the great efforts contributed to our Chinese language education.
There are a few things I would like to remind you:
- Parents must wear face masks when entering campus under the current Covid-19 restrictions.
- Parents are expected to leave the campus as soon as possible after dropping off and picking up. Parents are not expected to stay onsite during class time. If you have any enquiry or would like to pay tuition fees, please visit the Chinese office onsite.
- Please arrive at the campus a bit earlier than usual to avoid peak time. There are parking spots with no time limit 50 or 100 metres away from the campus. Please do not park or block on the driveway of residents to avoid unnecessary parking fines.
Today is the first day of Chinese lunar new year. The Spring Festival is the most important traditional Chinese holiday that has been celebrating for over 4000 years with its cultural spirit been appreciated by generation after generation. It is the opportunity for family members to get together and reconnect with each other. No matter where we are, we would celebrate Chinese New Year and make good wishes to families and friends.
This year is the year of OX which in Chinese culture is a hardworking zodiac sign. I wish you and your family good luck, prosperity, good health and happiness in the year of ox.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu, Principal
