新金山中文学校第二学期开学通知

各位老师、同学和家长:

大家好!我校从本周末(4月18日/19日)起开学并将在本学期用网课教学。根据维州教育部有关上网课要严格遵守儿童安全法律、隐私法和保证教学质量的要求,我校制定了如下“网课教学注意事项”,请大家遵守:
1, 所有老师必须认真备课,按时上、下课,并做好学生出勤记录;
2, 所有学生必须用自己的中英文真实姓名入群,准时上课并完成作业;
3, 老师、学生和家长必须衣着整洁,在一个安静、无特殊政治、宗教背景的工作或学习环境之中;
4, 非本校教师、学生和家长不可参与;
5, 考虑到安全及隐私保护,尽量避免让家中学龄前儿童进入镜头;
6, 老师不可和学生进行一对一的网络教学;
7, 老师、学生和家长不可把网课的过程拍照、录音、录像(VCE12年级因高考考试要求除外,但是必须预先通知学生和家长);
8, 老师在网课分享屏幕时,电脑上不可出现不适合儿童观看的网页或内容;
9, 家长配合老师帮助孩子上好网课,不可影响或打断老师的教学。
10, 家长对网课内容、教学安排和教师表现有任何意见和建议,欢迎书面电邮学校:[email protected]

第二学期从4月18日/19日至6月20日/21日,共10个教学周。
学前班,一年级至十二年级课程开设网课,各班级建制不变,原上课时间不变,任教老师不变(个别老师请假除外)。同时,数学班、文化常识兴趣班,以及辅导学校也开设网课。早教班和美术班暂时不开网课(具体安排另行通知)。
课时安排:学前班每节课30分钟,一年级至十二年级每节课40分钟。
考虑到同一家庭有几个孩子同时上网课可能会不方便,我们可以安排学生上不同时段的网课,如有需要请与您孩子的老师、校区校长联系,或电邮:[email protected],以便我们尽早安排。
学校已经要求所有老师与家长取得联系,在开学前做试讲以确保网课的顺利,届时请家长给予配合。
上网课对老师和学生来说都是一种全新的体验。尽管我们的老师们在假期里认真参加了培训和教研活动,当他们独自面对镜头时也难免会出现差错,学生们在家里上课也会有一个适应的过程。我们大家都面临着巨大的挑战。但是只要我们有坚持学好中文的信念,也可以通过网课的形式帮助孩子建立起与老师(学校)的良好互动,我们希望不让每一个孩子在中文学习上脱节,我们相信他们都会成为更具有自学和创新能力的学生。
目前上网课只是一个过渡时期,需要家庭和学校更多的配合。相信困难很快会过去,我们也将很快会回归正常。
最后,感谢您的理解和支持并祝您平安健康!
胡培康 校长

Xin Jin Shan Notice (15/04/2020)
Dear teachers, students and parents,
We are pleased to let you know that Term 2 starts from this weekend (18/19 April) and we are going to conduct our Chinese language learning online. According to the requirements of the Department of Education and Training regarding protecting security and privacy of children during online delivery, it would be much appreciated if you could observe the following measures carefully.
1. Teachers are required to prepare online sessions carefully, start and finish session on time and make a correct record of students’ attendance each time;
2. Students are required to join the online sessions with their real Chinese or English names, join the online sessions on time and accomplish homework as required;
3. Teachers, students and parents are required to wear neat casual clothes in a quiet, non-political and non-religious working or learning environment in their house during online sessions;
4. Non-XJS teachers, students and parents are not allowed to get access to the online sessions;
5. During online sessions, try not have small children in your home on camera for security and privacy purposes;
6. Teachers are not allowed to have one-to-one online chat or online sessions with students;
7. Teachers, students and parents are not allowed to take photos or record the online sessions (except for VCE 12 students upon obtaining parent approval);
8. When sharing screen during the online sessions, teachers are not allowed to show any website or contents that are not suitable for children;
9. While observing the online sessions, parents are required to keep quiet and try not to disturb or interrupt the teaching;
10. If you have any question or feedback about the online sessions, please feel free to email us at [email protected]
Term 2 starts on 18/19 April and ends on 20/21 June (ten weeks in total).
Prep to grade 12 classes would be conducted online. Students remain in their enrolled classes and timetable for the classes remain the same. Students would keep on learning with their teachers as in Term 1 (except for some teachers asking for leave in Term 2). Maths classes, Chinese culture programs and English and Maths classes provided by XJS Coaching School would be conducted online too. Early Learning classes and drawing classes are not available online at this stage (we would inform you the detailed arrangements for these classes later).
Class time: Prep classes: 30-minute per session.
Grade 1 to Grade 12 classes: 40-minute per session.
There might be some families where there are several children enrolled in our school. We could put them in classes at different time to make sure every child could get access to Internet and online learning facilities. If you need special arrangement, please feel free to contact the responsible campus manager or email us at [email protected].
We have asked our teachers to contact with all the parents and arrange testing classes online in advance to make sure the online learning goes smoothly.
Online learning is a new challenge for both teachers and students. Although our teachers attended relevant training and seminars during the school break, it is understandable that they might make mistakes when facing students in front of a camera and it also takes time for students to get used to this new way of learning online. However, with our joint efforts, we believe we could build a healthy interaction between teachers and students in this new online environment and students could develop the abilities of self-study, self-discipline and creativity in learning.
Online learning is a temporary stage at this special time and your support and cooperation is very important for our students. We believe we could get though this tough time and come back to our normal learning routine soon.
Thank you very much for your great support and hope all you family members stay safe and healthy.

Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu Principal
Xin Jin Shan Chinese Language and Culture School
