Important Notices Regarding the Resumption of Classes

May 05, 2020

Dear Parents and Students:

I hope you enjoyed a very nice long weekend. As we welcome the senior high school students back this week, please find some important information below about topics related to the resumption of classes and upcoming events.

1. STUDENT REQUIREMENTS

For the safety of all, the following criteria from the MSAR government must be strictly adhered to by all students and families before a child is allowed to return to the school campus. Every student must qualify for at least one of the following conditions:

If the student does not meet one of the above criteria, he or she must not return to the school until the criteria is met. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter and please contact the school if you have any questions.

2. ONLINE TEACHING & LEARNING UPDATE

Our plan is to continue the online learning until the official start date for each grade and division. Once the classes officially resume, teachers will need to focus on the classroom instruction and the online learning in its present form will not continue. Fortunately, we have very few secondary students outside of Macau and so teachers will be able to support them for the remainder of the year in the same way that we support long term absences.

If and when we receive notification for the resumption of classes for the younger grades, we will look to see how we can continue to support our students who are still outside of Macau and unable to return.

3. FAMILY FRIENDLY PROCEDURES

The class resumption guidelines from the MSAR government allow for a ‘Family Friendly’ approach, starting on May 11th. If you missed my last correspondence about this process, here is the link to the application form with the information: Family Friendly Application Form

4. GRADE 12 GRADUATION AND OTHER CELEBRATIONS

We are very happy to be able to celebrate our Grade 12 Graduation this year! The event was uncertain a few weeks ago, but with the resumption of classes, we are excited to announce that the graduation will take place on Saturday, May 30th. The committee is working hard to finalize details and parents can expect to hear detailed information as early as this week. Please know that the event will look different this year because of the safety and health requirements around COVID-19.

We have many celebrations that traditionally take place in the months of May and June. Due to the situation, these celebrations will look different this year, but we will do our best to organize wonderful events. The SK, Grade 6 and Grade 9 annual celebrations will be at the school and modified so that we follow the pandemic safety and health guidelines. Parents can expect to receive more information about each event over the next few weeks. If you have any questions, please contact myself or one of the administration team.

Sincerely,

復課重要事項

致親愛的家長及學生:

希望您和您的家庭渡過了一個愉快的長週末。這週學校歡迎了高中學生回校復課後,總結了以下復課訊息及藉此宣佈接下來的某些活動安排。

1. 學生的需求

為了全校的安全,所有人包括學生及家長都必須嚴格遵守澳門特區政府以下準則,才能讓學生進入校園。每名學生至少需要符合以下一項條件:

若學生不符合上述其中一項準則,他/她必須在符合其中一項準則後,才能回校復課。先在此感謝您對這件重要事情的關注,若有任何疑問,歡迎與學校聯絡。

2. 線上學習狀況更新

學校計劃繼續進行線上學習,直至每個年級都正式復課為止。一但正式復課,老師便會專注於課堂教學,線上學習會即時停止。所幸,學校目前僅有為數不多的中學生目前不在澳門,因此老師可以像照顧長期缺席的學生一樣,在餘下的日子為他們提供學習支持。

若澳門政府稍後宣佈小學及幼稚園復課,學生屆時會考慮如何支持仍留在澳門境外、無法回澳的學生課業安排。

3. 家庭友好計劃

自5月11日開始,澳門特區政府的復課指引中允許學校採取「家庭友好計劃」。若您錯過了學校上一封提及家庭友好計劃的信件,請查看以下鏈結獲取訊息:Family Friendly Application Form

4. 高中三年級畢業典禮及慶祝活動

很高興高三畢業典禮將如期舉行。雖然幾個禮拜前仍未確定,但隨著逐步復課,學校現在正式宣佈,高中畢業典禮將於5月30日(週六)舉行。學校委員會現正努力準備細節,家長最早有望於本週得到詳細訊息。但請各位留意,由於受新型冠狀病毒影響,今年的畢業活動在安排上將有所不同。

傳統上,學校在5、6月份會舉辦許多活動。雖然基於目前的狀況,這些慶祝活動比起過往會有所不同,不過學校仍然會儘最大努力來組織精彩的活動。幼兒教育三年級、小六以及初中三年級的慶祝活動會因應安全及健康指引而有所不同,且在學校舉行。預計家長可於稍後的幾週內獲得詳細訊息。若您對安排有任何疑問,歡迎直接與本人或學生註冊部聯絡。

祝安,
