返校通知

各位老师、同学和家长：

大家好！我在这里通知大家：从本周末（3月5日/6日）起全校各个年级统一返校上课。早教班恢复上课，学前班，1-10年级学生将结束开学前四个星期的临时网课，与VCE11、12年级学生一样全部上实体课。

经过两年多的疫情反复，基于全民接种疫苗的实现，政府要让社区尽快恢复正常。我校严格执行教育部的各项规定，决定返校上课。为保障全校社区健康安全，在返校上课期间请老师、同学和家长遵守如下注意事项：

• 所有教职员工必须接种2针疫苗，并且在3月25日之前完成第三针；
• 所有师生有任何疑似新冠症状的在没有得到检测阴性的情况下，请不要来校；
• 所有进入校园的家长必须接种2针疫苗（在3月25日之前完成第三针），除早教班学生家长可在课堂内之外，其余家长在学生上课期间不可在校园滞留；
• 所有师生在来校工作、上课后检测为阳性的，请及时通知班主任老师，并发电邮给学校：admin@xjs.vic.edu.au，以便学校及时通知与其密切接触的师生及时做检测；
• 按教育部规定所有日校3-6年级师生在校园内必须戴口罩。我校鼓励所有教师和7年级以上学生在校园内戴口罩；
• 请大家在课间和办公室接待处保持1.5米的社交距离。

师生们的健康安全始终是我们最重要的工作。这次，我校得到了维州卫生部的支持，给各校区配备了新冠肺炎快速自测仪。凡发现员工有身体不适会及时做检测，如属阳性会及时隔离并劝其离开。

除了健康安全之外，还有一个重要的交通安全的话题需要在这里特别跟家长们谈一谈。

          有不少家长跟我反映，他们对我校教师和教学非常认可，但说到交通都表示说不好。这主要发生在早教学前部、精英中文部和Mt Waverley总校区。

          过去，学校会安排员工和志愿者在校园周围管理交通，虽然车辆多，但经疏导后未形成严重堵车现象。后来，被市政府告知我们不可在校园外执勤，也就不能给家长们指路了。对于很多不熟悉校园附近路况的家长来说如同少了“导航”，因此每周六、周日早上上学和中午放学的高峰期，校园附近道路严重堵塞。邻居们有急事出不了门已多次联名到市政府、警察局投诉，给日校和我们社区语言学校带来很大的压力。

         因此，我在这里建议家长们：（1），适当提前将孩子送到学校，不要集中在9:30分左右；（2），在离开校园30-50米无停车限制的地方泊车；（3），严格遵守交通规则，看清标志不随意停车以免受罚（尤其不要不可挡住邻居车道）；（4），互相礼让，给您的孩子做个表率。

这里，还有跟大家报告一下，2022年澳式足球AFL赛季即将开始。AFL非常重视在多元文化社区的推广宣传，最近，Rebecca Herft, Participation Coordinator – Eastern Region (AFL Victoria)，Diana Lin, Ambassador of AFL Victoria，Kiko He, Participation Coordinator (Diversity, AFL Victoria) 到访我校，计划在我校开展AFL/Auskick 项目活动。我校曾先后与AFL几个球队结成社区合作伙伴，近两年是Melbourne球队的支持者，他们去年夺得联赛的冠军。希望我们学校社区有更多的人关注AFL活动。

最后，欢迎大家重返校园，注意健康安全、交通安全。

祝您教学和学业顺利，周末校园见！

Principal’s Message

Dear teachers, students and parents,

I would like to let you know that from this weekend (5/6 March) students of all year levels would return to campus, which means Early Learning classes would be available onsite, Year 1-10 students would turn to onsite learning and VCE 11 and 12 students would remain onsite learning as usual.

With a high level of vaccination, the government is encouraging the communities to return to normal. XJS would follow all the DET regulations and return to onsite learning from this weekend. To ensure the health and safety of all community members, we would like all the teachers, parents and students to observe the following instructions when visiting our campuses on weekends:

1. All the teaching and admin staff are expected to have received two doses of vaccination already and the third dose is expected to be received by 25 March.
2. Any teacher or student with suspected covid symptoms is not expected to come to school unless with negative test results.
3. All the parents are expected to have received two doses of vaccination already and the third dose is expected to be received by 25 March. No parents are allowed to stay on campus during class time except that their children are attending Early Learning classes.
4. If any student or teacher is identified as a positive case after attending our classes, please inform class teachers and email us at admin@xjs.vic.edu.au. We need to inform all the relevant close contact person to get tested.
5. All the year 3 to 6 students are required to wear face masks on campus as requested by DET. All the teachers and year 7-12 students are encouraged to wear face masks on campus.
6. Please keep 1.5 metres social distance during break time and in the office reception area.

Students and teachers’ health and safety are always the priority of our school. Thanks to the support of Department of Health and Human Services Victoria, we have prepared some antigen test kits for each campus. Any unwell student and staff on campus would receive test immediately. If identified as positive cases, they would be isolated and suggested to leave the campus immediately.

Apart from the health issue, I would also like to talk about the traffic safety issue here with parents.

Many parents claim that they are quite happy with our teachers and teaching quality, but not traffic conditions around MWN campus, junior campus and senior campus of MWSC.

We used to arrange staff and volunteers to guide the traffic around the campus during peak time. However, we were then advised by the local city council that we were not allowed to guide traffic on the streets outside the campus. For many parents who are not familiar with local streets around the campus, especially during peak time on weekends, the traffic jam on the streets around the campus is quite serious. The residents nearby have reported us to the local city council and police office for many times which have brought great pressure to mainstream schools and our school as well.

Therefore, I would like to suggest all the parents: 1) drop off your child/ren before 9:30; 2) park your cars 30 to 50 metres away from campus where there is no parking limit; 3) follow traffic rules and read parking signs carefully before parking to avoid unnecessary fines (please do not block the driveways of local residents); 4) give ways to others when needed to set up a good example for your child/ren.

I would like to let you know that 2022 AFL season is coming soon. AFL pays very special attention to multicultural communities. Recently, Rebecca Herft, Participation Coordinator – Eastern Region (AFL Victoria), Diana Lin, Ambassador of AFL Victoria，Kiko He, Participation Coordinator (Diversity, AFL Victoria) would visit our school to promote AFL/Auskick program. We used to establish community partnership with some AFL teams and have been the supporter of Melbourne Football Club in the recent years who won the 2021 Grand Final. Hope more and more school community members would love and support AFL.

Welcome back to campus and keep safe and healthy.

Let’s see you on weekend.

Best regards,

Kevin Hu, Principal
