澳洲老公去了一所教会学校的open day,给我写的报告-供大家参考

在澳大利亚小学教育




不好意思,是英文,懒得翻译了,大家凑乎看吧。

The tour was good. Eight students guided parents around the school. We went into the early learning centre, kindy  and year 2 classrooms. They are very good. Students were well behaved.

Generally speaking, I like that school. Kind teachers, well behaved students, and well established facilities.

I can feel a strong Christian environment in campus. Bible chapters are on the window glass. The principal mentioned God several times during her speech, and students greeted us “good morning” followed by “ God bless you.”

For junior grades, one teacher is responsible for one class, with different teachers teaching music, PE and Mandarin.

They only had their Year 11 and 12 in 2011. So pretty young.

In terms of curriculum,
•  they offer a lot of activities. Kids from kindy start learning Mandarin all through to Year 8. From year 9, they have opportunities to choose other languages to learn. One class per week, the same as other schools.

•  Formal music lessons start from kindy. All students in year 3 learn to play violin or cello. Instrument provided by school. At higher grades, students have more opportunities to explore other performing arts like drama and singing. Those are within school hours. Parents can choose private tutors to learn other instruments after school hours.

•  They have lots of sports as well, netball teams, mountain bike teams, and other sports training twice a week.

•  Digital based learning is widely adopted as well. I saw three classrooms were studying something with laptops. The principal mentioned that Year 5 students use iPad to study, iPads provided by school.

•  From Year 9, they have career classes once per week, helping students choose their career paths.

•  They don’t do buddy program like Turner Primary does for lower grades. Only in college, students from different years may study together for selective subjects.

•  But they have different buddy programs. Year 6 buddy up with Kindy and Year 5 with pre-school. However, what they can do together are limited in my opinion.

•  For students who have difficulties in particular areas, they have teachers to help. But for top students, they don’t have programs for them.

What else? Students on the waiting list will be considered at any time after kindy intake. So if MZ isn’t enrolled in kindy, she may get a place at any time afterwards. It really depends.

谢谢,这个学校算中上的吧?你们为什么要送教会学校呢?能多讲讲ACT的公校和私校吗?

评论


堪培拉私校除了grammar, blue gum, 蒙台梭利,和穆斯林那学校,其余私校都是教会学校啊。

公校小学不错的有不少,但是中学好的不多,大都在parliament house周围,表现好的多是私校。可以小学在公校,中学上私校,这样比较省钱,但是别的家长也都是这么想的,所以中学的队排得好长啊。

我们也就是看中这所学校1、中学也不错,2,学校活动很丰富,3,第二语言教中文。Radford college是私校里数一数二的,可是排不上啊,据说要排十年。。。

堪村的私校学费就是便宜阿

评论
教会学校都比较便宜吧
