21. Principal Speak

I am pleased to offer my congratulations to our organising team and Chinese teachers

from each participated school of the 2014 NSW Chinese Language Spectacular, for all

of your dedication and hard work in preparing this milestone event.

This Spectacular is a good opportunity for students NSW to express their understand

of Chinese culture through poetry, song, dance and various other artistic forms.

This event marks the 10th anniversary of the Global Confucius Institute Network

and 20th anniversary of the Chinese Language Teachers Association NSW, also

symbolises the success of promotion of Chinese Language teaching and learning,

as well as culture exchange in Australia.

As I was once a Chinese Language student, I believe that this opportunity will boost

students confidence and interests in learning the language. I am really proud of allthe student performers. It is precisely the understanding of their generation that will

allow further development of positive relations between Australia and Greater China

in the future.

I also want express my gratitude to all the supports from more than 20 school principals,

head of language unit and all the parents. Since the beginning, our organising team

received warm support from the Education Office of Chinese Consulate General in

Sydney.

I am excited and want send my best wishes to our organising team and all the student

performers for a successful 2014 NSW Chinese Language Spectacular.

With courage let us all combine

To Advance Australia Fair.
