Perth Tzu-Chi Academy

Dear teachers and parents,

Happy New Year to you all.

Recently it has come to our attention of the spread of the Coronavirus. Currently our school will reopen for enrollment on Saturday, 8 February 2020, and classes will commence on 15 February 2020. I would like to remind all parents, teachers and students to please consult your doctor as soon as possible and stay home for at least two weeks if you have the following symptoms: fever, diarrhea, vomiting and other discomfort. In the meantime please abide general health guidelines – wearing masks and washing hands – to protect yourself and others.

Wish everyone had a safe and pleasant new year.

親愛的師生家長們大家新年快樂，

近日來由於新型冠狀病毒的蔓延持續受到關注，學校開學日在即，在此溫馨提醒大家如果您剛從海外回國，如果有身體不適發燒、嘔吐、腹瀉、咳嗽等症狀，請儘速就診並在家休息兩週後再返校上課。原訂2月8日開學日那天學校辦理新生註冊不上課，第二週2月15日起正式上課，在疫情持續期間，請大家配合防疫措施，戴口罩勤洗手。

祝福大家闔家平安。

To carry out the mission of promoting culture and education, Tzu Chi Academy Australia was established in Sydney in February 1998, followed by Brisbane and Perth.

The aim is to enable our future generations, though living in Australia, to retain their Chinese language heritage. In addition to knowing the language, it is equally important for them to be exposed to our fine traditional culture. As part of the learning process, it is also essential for them to understand the proper ways of co-existence in the society and maintenance of a good character. Lessons on humanistic value are critical parts of our teaching, with Jing Si Aphorisms as the cornerstones. They epitomise the culture and spirit of Tzu Chi. They are the goals that we strive to attain.

To care for this damaged Mother Earth not only requires our immediate actions, it is also imperative to instil on children a sense of urgency. Our school takes this responsibility seriously. Besides teaching language, we also impart humanistic values to the students.

Not to be left behind, the kids do fundraising too.
Show their care for the environment with actions.
Encouraged by what they learn, a show of filial piety and kindness.
