從上次校訊出刊，到新的一期與大家見面，已經有一段時間了。因為校務繁重，常常有忙不完的事，但我覺得生命因此顯得更加充實有力量。校訊出刊的目的之一，本為了將最新的校園動態消息傳達給大家;感謝許多老師、家長平日都和我保持密切的聯繫，將孩子的情況、教學的意見和我進行雙向的溝通，大家都有一顆火熱關注的心，在孩子學習成長的身上，我願意藉著新一期校訊的出刊，向大家做一個彙報。
教育廳長獎
明德今年在民族語言教育廳長獎的評選上，再次大放異彩，又有十位同學榮膺冠冕。特別值得一提的，是譚光林、陳貴貴兩位小朋友，在中級組中奪得最高榮譽廳長獎，雖年紀小小卻成就非凡，在單一語言、單一組別由單一學校兩位同學獲授予最高榮譽廳長獎，誠屬罕見。我們為明德小將的學習成績被紐省教育當局肯定而高興，我特別向所有得獎的同學及其家人致恭賀之意，並向教導的老師致謝。
全澳中文朗誦比賽
明德今年在參與全澳中文朗誦比賽的競技中，也戰果輝煌，勝利班師凱旋而歸，總共囊括二十一項大獎。明德自創校以來，全澳中文朗誦比賽無役不與，年年組建鋼鐵隊伍與賽贏得獎項無數，早已寫入明德校史，成為明德精神的象徵，我向所有參與訓練的師生家長，為你們的勞苦表示十二萬分的謝意，並向所有得獎的同學及其家人致祝賀之意。
中學證書
明德今年又有十二位同學之中文成績得以列入澳洲教育當局之中學證書。他們是：劉雪霞(Sydney GHS)、馬麗莎、高艷娜(Sefton HS)、方志達、歐思華、吳景晴(Canley Vale HS)、朱祖怡(Macquarie Fields HS)、李鴻迪(Girraween HS)、林海慧(Chester Hill HS)、邵淑虹(Liverpool GHS)、岑欣欣(North Sydney GHS)、吳麗婷(Fairvale HS)。
第二屆家長委員會
明德今年的另一件大事，是新一屆家長委員會的組成，並推舉 Birrong 校區的譚顯鏗先生為家長會長， Auburn 校區的歐陽翠珉、 Fairvale 校區的張陳素鑾為副會長。感謝眾多家長出席家長會，並向榮膺重任的譚會長、歐陽、張陳副會長及眾委員未來將擔負的勞苦先致感謝之意，您們是明德極重要的組成的一部分，歡迎您們參與到明德的生命中。我也向多年來一貫支持我們校務的前會長陳國群先生致上無比的感激與敬意。
明德多年來所達致的成果，乃是眾志成城，所有明德人齊心協力的結果，包括了家長們的鼎力支持，社區鄉親的關懷，同學們自覺的努力，老師們無私的付出，明德的榮耀乃是歸這個大家庭的每一份子所有。我們從來所努力的目標，不是以停留在某一階段為已足，我們必須自我充實、熱衷參與、精益求精、不懈不苟，我們創校的信念與一貫辦學的理念就是「追求卓越，止於至善」，讓我們能夠不斷先前邁進。
最近我要帶領師生和家長們出席一系列活動，25/8/06 我出席了廳長獎的盛大頒獎典禮，內心極其欣喜愉快，我真以明德的眾小將們為榮，也欽佩勞苦功高的家長和老師們。九月份的僑校運動會、說故事比賽、明德家長師生聯歡會及卡啦 OK 大賽，希望我們大家一起再見面，一起交流同樂，讓我們都不缺席吧！！

It’s been a while since our last newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter is to inform you, as parents and students of the latest events of the school and our progress thus far. I would like to take this opportunity to thank teachers, parents and students for keeping me in touch with your daily happenings. Thank you for letting me know how you have been doing – not only in school so that we ensure clear lines of communication at all times. I’ll now take this opportunity to inform you of the latest news at Ming-Der Chinese School.
Yet again, we’ve received some great awards at the Minister’s Awards for Community Languages. There have been a total of ten students who have received awards for “Highly Commended” in the prestigious awards. Furthermore, we have outstanding commendations to Alan Tam and Sami Al-Hilfi who have both received the only awards for Minister’s Awards for Excellence in a Community Language in the Junior Division. These young children have received such outstanding awards and I truly extend my congratulations to these students. I would also like to thank their parental and family support at home and especially their teachers who have brought them thus far.
We have again achieved some great results at the National Chinese Eisteddford this year, taking home a total of 21 prizes. Ming Der has time and again achieved awards at every year that we’ve participated in this competition; it is truly a well-established achievement to be left in our history books. Our achievements are reflective of the Ming Der spirit.
This year we have another twelve students who have qualified for the entry of Chinese (Mandarin) into their Year 10 School Certificate. Commendations to Caroline Luu , Margaret Yie Quach, Ivy Lam, Lisha Ma, Martin Van, Peter Au, Nattalie Ngo, Jo Yee Chu, Jessica Ngo, Yanna Ko, Heidi Sham.
The next big news for Ming Der this year is the welcoming of a new President to our Parent Committee. Mr Dam is the parent of Alan Tam from our Birrong branch. Our Vice Presidents are Ms Au Yang from our Auburn branch and Ms Chen from our Fairvale branch. We would like to extend our appreciation to all the parents who have offered their assistance to our committee and congratulate our newly appointed Executive. Of course, we must also thank our retiring President, Mr Michael Chan for all his efforts these past twelve years.
As you will all know by now, our school has also had launched the Ming Der Chinese School official website. It contains all our contact information as well as upcoming events and news. I recommend you all to take a browse around the site to be informed of the school’s events. The site address is www.mingder.org.au.
Ming-Der Chinese School has participated in the Minister’s Awards for Excellence in a community language since 2002. The award acknowledges students’ achievements in learning a community language outside of school and is recognised by the Minister of Education. It is a reflection of the time and effort that students put into their language studies.
The selection process for this award is very tough, with students competing against all ethnic schools around the state.
In 2006, our school received nine awards for this prestigious title; including two Minsters award for Excellence, four Highly Commended, four Commended award. The criterion for receiving such an award includes achievements in the following areas; Academic, Leadership, Community and All-Round aspects. For this reason, students are encouraged to participate in different areas of school activities; including public speaking, story telling, dancing and singing. Students are also recognised for the work they do in their mainstream schools - thereby encouraging all-round efforts in students.
