校長的話

 

「教授知識，心智培育」

正確的教學不是在乎學生學習或記憶得多與少，而是要用心培育他們的心智，以開放的態度學習，揣摩和應用書中的知識，從而提高學生的信心，鼓勵他們在日常生活中練習新學會的語言和技巧。學無前後，不論年紀背景，作育英材是我們老師和家長的基本責任。

不知不覺間，慈幼中文學校已步入第三十多年頭。我們秉承了一貫的教育精神，加進互動的教學方法，開啟學生們的心智，提高他們學習的信心和興趣。我本人和各導師會以開放的態度，務求給予學生多一些有趣的實習機會，刺激他們學習的意慾，鼓勵他們時常多讀、多寫和多說中國語文。

在未來的一個學年裏，除了有日常的教學時間，我們將會推出多項「特別活動」，務求令眾學生能有更多的機會學練中文，以及給予他們機會表現個人的天份和精粹。這些活動包括話劇、歌唱、寫作、烹飪、書法、購物和茗茶點心，好令各位同學有機會和信心在日常生活中靈巧地活用中文。透過這些不同活動，我希望同學們若不能全部記得課本的知識，也能記得在這些活動中帶予他們的歡與笑、樂與傲，和在中文學校一起生活成長的一班同學和「戰友」。只要同學們有興趣，有信心和適當地活學活用中國語文，我們已步上成功之路！

最後，本人謹代表華人天主堂主任司鐸神父，再次歡迎各位參與我們慈幼中文學校這個大家庭。我盼望能與各位有更深入的認識，共商校務，交換意見，共同為我們的學校締造一個和諧美好的學年。

 

主祐平安。

慈幼中文學校校長

Words from the Principal

 

Education is not about how much you have committed to memory or how much you know, it’s about replacing a closed mind with an open one. It's about inspiring students to reach for new heights and giving them the confidence to speak and interact effectively with the people around them - regardless of their age or background. As educators and parents, this is our mission.

 

As we enter into our 30th Anniversary of the Salesian Chinese School, we will be taking an interactive approach. In order maximize learning, we need to engage our students' hearts, as well as their minds. I have challenged my staff to be creative and to use as many hands-on activities as possible to stimulate learning and growth. And, most importantly, have fun along the way! During the course of the year as part of our School curriculum, we will be holding a number of 'Special Events' designed to bring out the best in our students. This could include games, singing, skits, origami, cooking classes, art & calligraphy, shopping, eating as in a restaurant - everyday activities that will give them the confidence to speak and practice their Chinese. Twenty years from now, they won't remember the formal Chinese lesson plans we painstakingly created for them, but they will remember the laughter, fun and memories they shared with the friends they met at Chinese School! If we can instil the confidence and pride in them, to use what they have learned in Chinese School, we will have accomplished our mission.

 

On behalf of our Parish Pastor and myself, welcome to the Edmonton Chinese Catholic Parish Salesian Chinese School! We always welcome your participation and feedback in any of the activities and look forward to making it a wonderful year of learning!

God bless,

 

Catherine Chan

Principal
